Life is never same after hearing Wintersun. It sets the scale higher. This gets all the time better even after hundreds listenings. Land of snow and sorrow next…same studio session…then Loneliness lyric video…i recommend listening Loneliness with dimmed lights but able to see video with lyrics…you will find yourself at the frozen snowy lake..Real journey…
As you listen to this, you can hear the brutality of the winters of Finland and the North. Battling your way through the cold and winds, with the stars and heavens glowing above you. These musicians are simply incredible.
I too watch this with my mouth open. Every time.😂 Must admit it took me a few times to fully appreciate. The growling wasn't really my thing until suddenly it was. Just like Amorphis.
Sweat dripped from his forehead in to his eyes so Kai was drumming a few times with his eyes closed because their was no time to dry his eyes , much respect!, And Jukka is great to. everybody in Wintersun is very good.
I want to emphasize Teemu Mäntysaari, green guitar, who is a songwriter, player and teacher who has impressive level of personal mastery of the techniques. You can find many videos where Teemu shares his personal strategies for guitar playing.
Yeah, absolutely. As far as I know it's the last recorded session from the rehearsals. The Forest Seasons, a concept album, could follow follow then. It's not live at all, but the four long songs, all different in a way, last almost an hour. And there are lyrics too. I've been listening to this album at least twice a day for the last 4-5 months. I'm very much a guy like yourself. As being a Nightwish fan for 25 yesrs I of course knew this band's existence since 2015, but I wasn't ready to begin a journey with them until this year. On the other hand I'm not really disappointed, because now it looks like I've got some totally new energy in my life, right when I needed it.
After listening to this song it always feels like I’ve had my exercise for the day 😅 😜 I agree with you on the journey I also had to have gone through to be able to really appreciate the music for the magnificence that it is. Enjoy continuing that journey
More Wintersun songs to react: Wintersun - Land Of Snow And Sorrow (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER ( ruclips.net/video/gEBFn8tkdFA/видео.html ) Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Official Lyric Video ( ruclips.net/video/qIiZFpOQnd8/видео.html )
I kinda want to see what Dan's playlist looked like before and after. His old playlist Is being consumed at a rapid pace and replaced with metal from the other side of the world.
Your whole discussion before the breakdown, about breaking into this new genre, happened to many of us, during or around the pandemic. For me, it was almost 3 years ago, re-discovering Nightwish (I say rediscovering because I gave them a pass in 2012 when they hit Octane with Annette singing - 😴). Nightwish pried open the door of symphonic metal - but even then, I found Marco too harsh! But the education that followed, watching Epica, like you, Sabaton, and Wintersun - this song was so unbelievably epic it just forced my acceptance to harsh vocals - because they integrate them in perfect way!!!
When you and Spencer sat down to listen to Nigthtwish, "Phantom of the Opera" with Floor and Henk, did you ever in your wildest dreams think you would end up here? That random YT AI algorithm sparked quite the journey. A few other bands to consider: Unleash the Archers (Canadian), Jinjer (Ukrainian), Fleshgod Apocalypse (Italtian), After Forever (Dutch), Arch Enemy (Swedish), Spiritbox (Canadian), Apocalyptica (Finnish), Avantasia (German), Rammstein (German), Delain (Dutch), Dimmu Borgir (Norwegian), Disturbed (American), Gojira (French), The Hu (Mongolian), Korn (American), Tool (American), Lacuna Coil (Italian), Sleep Token (British) I pulled this off of my music library and it's only a modest portion of it, which in turn is just a very small sample of what's out there. There's a long road ahead. :) Do you have anything better to do?
Always nice to find new people getting into Wintersun to witness the epic band they are! Time is my all time favorite song, but Wintersun has no bad songs on their catalog so you have some more to listen to. As you mentioned about growling used as a way to express passion and rage and all emotions, I would suggest you also react to the Finnish melo-death masters of Insomnium. They have beatiful melodies, amazing guitar riffs and great lyrics. They have a lot more growling, but Niilo Sevänen is so great using his voice and has a unique growl that is easy to recognize ( Belzebubs is a great example, but that is for another time). The easy first reaction would be 'While We Sleep', as it it a great song with more clean vocals and it's under 7 minutes long. ruclips.net/video/vBZ5SLJmfdw/видео.html But seeing you don't have a problem listening to longer epic songs (and more on the subject of using growls to express emotions), 'Pale Morning Star' is such a beautiful yet heavy song. It gets me teared up every time I listen to it on my own. ruclips.net/video/rJ89F9xoG08/видео.html These are my two suggestions to get into the band, and they have a lot more in store should you warm up for them.
Hi man. Nice reaction. And greetins from Finland. Home of metal. Enjoy. Home of battle of beast , Nightwish and Wintersun, and many more.... You have so much to learn Finnish metal culture.
I probably account for 200 views of this on the Wintersun channel. And yet I never tire of watching fresh reactions. This song is the best of the best of the most epic.
Those drums needs a cigarette after that session lol. Wintersun - Land Of Snow And Sorrow (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) / Wintersun - Loneliness. You can't go wrong with any tbh lol.
Amazing band and performance. Loved how you do the gallop with that final few minutes, i always do the same 😂. Great reaction dude, thank you. 😃👏🏻 Land of Snow & Sorrow and Winter are also classics, both slower but epic!
Wintersun - Loneliness. Lets listen to some sadness. Let us feel how people here in the north sometimes have to struggle in the cold and snow with their sad thoughts
Worlds shortest 14 minutes! Btw Teemu has been added to Megadeth lineup recently. These guys finally getting the recognition they deserved eay earlier.
Jukka Koskinen is the bass-player (actually Nightwish). The singer is Jari (that must be enough because their 2nd Names are to complicated for english tongues; read the credits). Temu and Jari are the perfect guitar-duet. But there are not so many Wintersun-songs on YT, maybe two or three. Google it!
Imagine life with out NW and Wintersun😮😢That's why Finland is The "happiest" country In The World, 6 times on a row 2022😅😊.You saw The beast and The "human" metronome. And The quality of The band and songs. That is why I said, I could give you like 100 Finnish bands/vocalists, that wipes he Floor with any, let's say "American" band😂😅😍. Ok, couple of exceptions, but The point is, there are so many amazing bands, vocalists you never heard of. And I do not think Your head is ready yet, so let's Take it easy. The Best growling-clean vocals and The NO. 1 Nightwish special guest for decades: "Amorphis" or one of Marko's Long time "babies" : "Northern Kings" - a total surprise. Best Regards from Finland ❤
I'm still not a huge fan of growling vocals, but Jari is a rare exception. The higher pitched death screaming is more pallatable to my ears than the gutteral growling like Cannibal Corpse, although i do enjoy Amon Amarth.
They need a disclaimer: "No drum kits were killed in the making of this video." ••• Jari is missing part of a lung, but as long as he sings to the left, it's okay. (-:
Metal music is for everyone. The only thing you have to do is listen and not thinking metal is nothing for me, because then it will not come inn the right way imo
Wintersun is awesome 🤩 I heard what you said about growling.... Wanna go a bit further? I can't remember if you've checked out Amorphis? (Finnish band) "Death of a King" ruclips.net/video/f0WO_8ejq0w/видео.html Pretty sure you haven't heard about Orbit Culture... Swedish band. Slightly hardere.... "North Star of Nija" ruclips.net/video/oZ-pJgRa0P8/видео.html
jari got all metal vocal style in one this wintersun lineup killed it.Kai hahto it's wasted he's talented in a band like nightwish obviously they pay so much better than wintersun I think that's why he left the band same as jukka
What a Fu
Ohh, yes
Told you it was intense! Lol 🤘🏻🤯
Can highly recommend this song from Wintersun also: ruclips.net/video/qIiZFpOQnd8/видео.html
Life is never same after hearing Wintersun. It sets the scale higher. This gets all the time better even after hundreds listenings. Land of snow and sorrow next…same studio session…then Loneliness lyric video…i recommend listening Loneliness with dimmed lights but able to see video with lyrics…you will find yourself at the frozen snowy lake..Real journey…
👆this!
I hope that Jukka, the bass player (actually Nightwish) will do some vocals in the upcoming Nightwish album
Me to than Floor has some help on stage😊
I agree. Much as I will always miss Marko, it would be interesting to see how a different strong, male voice could mix with Floor's.
As you listen to this, you can hear the brutality of the winters of Finland and the North. Battling your way through the cold and winds, with the stars and heavens glowing above you. These musicians are simply incredible.
Sisu! 🤘
The thought of not discovering Wintersun is just unthinkable. Every music lover should seek them out. Plus every band member deserves equal credit.
I too watch this with my mouth open. Every time.😂
Must admit it took me a few times to fully appreciate. The growling wasn't really my thing until suddenly it was. Just like Amorphis.
The band that got me to like growl was Kalmah.
I will never understand how those guys are not melted into puddles on the floor after performing this one.
Sweat dripped from his forehead in to his eyes so Kai was drumming a few times with his eyes closed because their was no time to dry his eyes , much respect!, And Jukka is great to. everybody in Wintersun is very good.
I want to emphasize Teemu Mäntysaari, green guitar, who is a songwriter, player and teacher who has impressive level of personal mastery of the techniques. You can find many videos where Teemu shares his personal strategies for guitar playing.
There's also a drum cam video of this song. Kai is hammering this steady machine gun rythm nearly the whole time.
Yes. Absolutely worth listening.
ruclips.net/video/tbb8m3wNXbs/видео.html
Oh, there's so many great songs to discover. But I'd suggest you finish the Sonic Pump Sessions with "Land Of Snow And Sorrow" first.
Please listen to Land Of Snow And Sorrow from the same rehearsal too. Too many people overlook it.
Yeah, absolutely. As far as I know it's the last recorded session from the rehearsals.
The Forest Seasons, a concept album, could follow follow then. It's not live at all, but the four long songs, all different in a way, last almost an hour. And there are lyrics too.

From Wintersun Loneliness might be the next one. It's a lyrics video, but what a masterpiece. Jari wrote it after his father passed and it shows.
At least 25 years ago, I discovered the music from Europe and other countries and don't even look for any music in America anymore

Its nice to see his face through some of it
Its difficult to define i have everything on it from 5 finger death punch all the way to the chordettes
Yes yes and yes! This blows your mind. So much talent.🤘🎶🔥 I love the melody behind all the heavy and harsh riffs.

I usually don't like growls, here in this song i love them
When i first time hear this song it was just pure happiness. It's just makes you speechless..just wow. My all time favourite band 🤟
That man only has one lung too if I remember correctly, which is kinda crazy how he can produce something like that.
I think he lost like a quarter of one lung, but yeah
@@stuartcollins82 Exactly.
Jari had half of one lung removed after catching TB whilst doing compulsory National Service in the army
@@richardwest6358 Anything to get out of the army, huh ;)

@@riittasihvonen2011 read carefully what i wrote
Kai is a beast!
Kai joined Nightwish for a rest😂😂
Retirement with a good pension. Choices.
Just ad the whole album once to the playlist. It´s just simple 🤣🤣🤣
Amazing band and performance. Loved how you do the gallop with that final few minutes, i always do the same 😂.
Great reaction dude, thank you. 😃👏🏻
Land of Snow & Sorrow and Winter are also classics, both slower but epic!

Hi man !!! Greetings from Finland. Wintersun & Nightwish are best. Totally.....State of art,
Hi there,what a great reaction, remember this one a long time ago.keep up your great reactions.What a tune.All the way for Ireland❤
Kai Hahto. Amazing. And greetings from Finland. 😀
One group you should check out is "In Flames" 👍👏 They're awesome and have been around for about 25-30 years and is still killing it 💪
Aside the "nu metal" era, I agree with you.
Worlds shortest 14 minutes! Btw Teemu has been added to Megadeth lineup recently. These guys finally getting the recognition they deserved eay earlier.
Another great band in the same genre is Opeth Start with Ghost of Perdition Live in Red Rock

Temu and Jari are the perfect guitar-duet. But there are not so many Wintersun-songs on YT, maybe two or three. Google it!
Wrong. You have at least two more albuns :)
With years of watching reaction channels I have got to point when I learned to LISTEN music not only hear it....

Well I live very well without nw, cause I never liked it so.. I exchange it for Tales and Elegy and Finntroll for sure! So no big fuzz 😂😂😂
What a song you said.Wath a reaction Pal
I'm still not a huge fan of growling vocals, but Jari is a rare exception. The higher pitched death screaming is more pallatable to my ears than the gutteral growling like Cannibal Corpse, although i do enjoy Amon Amarth.
My 6 year old loves this one.🖤🤘🖤
So young & already great taste in music.
Loved it. 🤟😁🤘
Hahahahaha..This was hilarious..Thank you.👍👍👍
Let’s Go O’s!
Jukka Koskinen👍
Wintersun was the band that got me past the harsh vocals - understanding them as an integral component of songs.
Epica was my easing into harsh vocals.
They need a disclaimer: "No drum kits were killed in the making of this video." ••• Jari is missing part of a lung, but as long as he sings to the left, it's okay. (-:
🤩👍💥💯🎼
🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙
Time is next!
monstrueux🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Maybe you like Amaranthe also they have 3 singers in their band
Hei, just check LAI LAI HEI by Ensiferum. Jari's early epicness.
wellcome to Finnland
I hope Jari finally will relesase Time 2 soon ^^
I also love the Seasons by then
Time II is coming, D-40... 😎
🤣❤️🎉🙏🏻🇫🇮🤠
Metal music is for everyone. The only thing you have to do is listen and not thinking metal is nothing for me, because then it will not come inn the right way imo
Wintersun is awesome 🤩
I heard what you said about growling.... Wanna go a bit further?
I can't remember if you've checked out Amorphis? (Finnish band)
"Death of a King"

I hope Jukka starts singing in Nightwish also..🙏🙏
jari got all metal vocal style in one this wintersun lineup killed it.Kai hahto it's wasted he's talented in a band like nightwish obviously they pay so much better than wintersun I think that's why he left the band same as jukka
Neither Kai nor Jukka has left Wintersun though. They are still members. They are just members of Nightwish as well.
🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in it’s great drum and guitar heaven 😊
