What a Fu

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…

I will never understand how those guys are not melted into puddles on the floor after performing this one.

I hope that Jukka, the bass player (actually Nightwish) will do some vocals in the upcoming Nightwish album

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.

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.

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.

There's also a drum cam video of this song. Kai is hammering this steady machine gun rythm nearly the whole time.

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

Please listen to Land Of Snow And Sorrow from the same rehearsal too. Too many people overlook it.

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.

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.

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

More Wintersun songs to react: Wintersun - Land Of Snow And Sorrow (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/natyedFp2dHIdnU.html ) Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Official Lyric Video ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6-ZjamhtLfSlGw.html )

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.

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!!!

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.

That man only has one lung too if I remember correctly, which is kinda crazy how he can produce something like that.

Kai joined Nightwish for a rest😂😂

Instant Like !!!! The Ultimate Kai workout 💪🥁🤘!!!!! NWSU/FloorFan .

Yes yes and yes! This blows your mind. So much talent.🤘🎶🔥 I love the melody behind all the heavy and harsh riffs.

If anyone ever tries to invade us ever again, this is how we go to battlefield, or Turisas - Stand Up and Fight, or Turisas - Battle Metal

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 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 🤟

Pure talent 🖤 and the Drums 🖤🤘🖤

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.

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?

😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘 Another 🇫🇮 💎 🤘😊👍💙🇫🇮 Edit. And we 🇫🇮 are True Sons & Daughters of ❄️ & ✨

Kai is a beast!

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rKiKaLZ9r9PKlKs.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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLBobKlq3dWrYGw.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.

i get chills every time and its like my 200th listen

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 ❤

Just ad the whole album once to the playlist. It´s just simple 🤣🤣🤣

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

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!

Worlds shortest 14 minutes! Btw Teemu has been added to Megadeth lineup recently. These guys finally getting the recognition they deserved eay earlier.

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❤

With years of watching reaction channels I have got to point when I learned to LISTEN music not only hear it....

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 💪

Kai Hahto. Amazing. And greetings from Finland. 😀

🇬🇧 Norfolk strapped in it’s great drum and guitar heaven 😊

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!

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.🖤🤘🖤

Hahahahaha..This was hilarious..Thank you.👍👍👍

Another great band in the same genre is Opeth Start with Ghost of Perdition Live in Red Rock

What a song you said.Wath a reaction Pal

Wintersun was the band that got me past the harsh vocals - understanding them as an integral component of songs.

Loved it. 🤟😁🤘

Jukka Koskinen👍

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. (-:

Let’s Go O’s!

🤩👍💥💯🎼 🤘😎 🇫🇮 💙

I hope Jari finally will relesase Time 2 soon ^^ I also love the Seasons by then

monstrueux🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Time is next!

wellcome to Finnland

Maybe you like Amaranthe also they have 3 singers in their band

🤣❤️🎉🙏🏻🇫🇮🤠

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

Hei, just check LAI LAI HEI by Ensiferum. Jari's early epicness.

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" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJaHgsJpytDVYKs.html Pretty sure you haven't heard about Orbit Culture... Swedish band. Slightly hardere.... "North Star of Nija" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcBdo62Yt8eUgGw.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

I hope Jukka starts singing in Nightwish also..🙏🙏
