I absolutely love seeing people discover Wintersun for the first time, and react with such jaw-dropping surprise to all the different parts, melodies, and compositional layers (upon layers), that went into making this gorgeous masterpiece. For me the transitions with Jari's range from growls to clean vocals is just phenomenally flawless. And wonderful Kai..like a human Machine Gun! The stories their songs tell is just as amazing.. A true 'gallop off on a quest' across snow-swept wintery landscapes, this song has always filled my heart to bursting with love and pure enjoyment. One of the most beautifully epic songs you will hear in metal. I saw an interview where Kai Hahto was asked: - Now that in Nightwish, how come you don't do that incredible stuff you did on Wintersun? He laughed and answered: - You don't do things because you CAN, you do what serves the song. Also....the bass Player Jukka is now Official Nightwish member . Plus: Finland has 70 Metal bands per 100,000 people (population of 5.6 million). NWSU🤘😎🤘.

Fantastic right ;) Go for "Time" from the same rehearsal and you will be blown away again. Greetings from Sweden

Excellent informed review and reaction. A truly phenomenal band. As well as Wintersun I would highly recommend Ensiferum, the band Jari was previously in. Their first 3 albums are particularly god like in quality.

More Wintersun... Time from the same studio session, Death and the Healing, Loneliness. Can't really go wrong. Jari puts so much into each song, some of them have hundreds of layers.

Welcome to Kai "Blast Beat Machine Gun" Hahto (also drummer of Nightwish)!

Please watch Time from the same rehearsal ASAP, wintersun is soo good

This is one of the greatest musical compositions I have ever heard, and I'm a HC Nightwish Andy since the 90s

Starchild, Time and Loneliness are all some songs I would seriously recommend checking out.

This is 14mins that is not wasted :D

First time I heard this band I never stop listening.

I love love love Wintersun. They get shit on a bunch for taking their sweet time on things but I love this band. I wrote my masters thesis to Wintersun. I don’t know what It is about this band but I just zone out when listen to them.

Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER

The drummer and the bassist are now in Nightwish

Sev's Q : "How old is this song?" Finnish Answer : "As old as Time." ... don't worry, it's an inside joke. But the Finns are a fair folk... they'll let you in on the fun. I mean, they tolerate ME, lol.

Heavy Metal was never a boring Music

This is how we play music in Finland. Great reaction.👍👍👍

not me receiving a non-skippable ad in the middle of your non-skippable ad :')

i love it was a true reaction. not some cut version like many do. followed absolutely. keep doing nice work!

When you ask why these Nordic metal bands are so good, look at it this way: in Finland alone, there are more than 2500 metal bands in any given year. This means that to make it big or to make to a world stage, one must by default, become the absolute best in their genre. The same reason why Premier League is the best, there so many leagues under it. Most countries might have a few hundred metal bands or even less, thus the climb to the top is somewhat easier. Add in Sweden and we are looking at over 5000 metal bands, you have to be god tier to musician with those numbers. At least this is how I reckon it is, just my view.

Hey, I'm new to the channel and I discovered you thanks to this reaction. I like your style and I higly suggest to check out the full "Wintersun" album. It's an absolute 10/10 for me, banger after banger

the fucking ad got me good hahahaha

You can't go wrong with Wintersun. They're epic. If you want epic, but silly epic, I highly recommend The Mighty Masturbator by Devin Townsend. Go with the studio version from Deconstruction. It's a metal roller coaster.

Oh maaaaaann I’ve been waiting for this one 💪💪💪

I was waiting for this :)

Absolutely loved it!

Had to look at this video and see how bananas you would get :-) haha Haven't listen too much at wintersun exept for this. But this is a masterpies of symphonic death metal...

OHH! that ad right after the slow part before it was gonna kick in! It killed me haha

the singer / frontman of the band (former "Ensiferum" singer) has had one lung removed due to an infection iirc - now hear him singing / ´screaming / growling with that in mind

Finally😂. Great job and hope you like it🤘 time next

omg. i thought that my monitor has broken, but that white spot is in your camera. almost died smh.

Great reaction!)

10:00 That's the point at which Kai initiates his transition into a different time signature. You can hear it very clearly at 10:30

Great reaction 😄 you need to check "Time"...Greetings from Finland 🤗

I guess Kai (the drummer) didn't need to go to gym after that 😂

C’mon man! Gotta buy premium already 🌀🌀🌀😂😂😂 Be’lakor next, please! 🌀🌀🌀🙏🙏🙏

I might have laughed a little about your face of despair when the add popped up lol :D

For the question why there is answer. Long cold and dark winter.

and in Sweden and Finland you have winters with MONTH without sun ..... a lot of time to practice :)

Was just thinking KZfaq premium when the second ads came up... 😂 Had it for a few years now. What a relief to never have ads. And with KZfaq Music there's no need for Spotify.

Friends don't let friends browse the internet without adblock. Get one bro :D Anyway, always nice to see reactions to Wintersun :) If you like Finnish epic metal you might also like Frosttide, Final hour or Revenant for example.

AWSOME 🤘🤘🤘

So glad you like it.

Hahahaha i can feel you brother it's happened to me 3 years now everytime...

Time II D-55 😎

Well, the Nordic recipe, it seems, might be something like: Be a nepobaby (bloody Sons and daughters of Winter and Stars....stars!!!), and take your fucking time (Come from Beyond the Time). Bob's bound to be your uncle -- and Odin or Ukko your godfather... No, loved your reaction so much! Went through those emotions with you. P.S. Here's something you need to hear, in case you haven't already: _Omnium Gatherum: The Unknowing_ ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iNmae9mSupulmZ8.html ) Yeah, from Finland. Melodic death metal meets zen. PPS. Some safe adblocker plugin such as Ad Block Plus might be quite useful in your situation. You might want to check it out.

FInland being the heaviest place on earth it makes sense that we got some good stuff.

nighwish soon record new album and then they go holiday,i think drummer and bassist go back in wintersun this time coz soon come new wintersun album and they play that time when nightwish holiday over. wintersun is amazing,hopefully i see them live someday. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend.

🔥🤟🔥

Why are bands from there so good, Man Idk, I've been wondering the same, they're just built different. Also I suggest Starchild from Wintersun as well

Imagine living in a cold and dark country. That is why best metal band comes from the nordic countries.

😁🇫🇮☃️💙🪄🎼✨💯🤘 Another 💎 from World Metal Capital, Finland 🤘😊👍💙🇫🇮

Sees the band and song and just knows you'll love it... ---> isn't proven wrong :P

Jejeje damn advertisement but great reaction 👍😀

15:43 - Yes. I literally said out loud "Oh my God, it should be mandatory for every reaction channel to be using a KZfaq Premium subscription when reacting to videos." xD

Epic? Yeah, it´s Finnish metal, it´s Wintersun. I´d recommend Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius. Amazing bands.

similar to Nightwish? haha half of the Band is Nightwish :). Bassist and drummer

Please Time from the same rehearsals next 🤘

I got out waz playing rust peep fook me 😆 🤣 😂 😹

Check out the singer’s, Jari, previous band Ensiferum. Lai Lai Hei.

Very epic music is Belore second album Artefact. I recommend

More power from Finland,maybe not you style,but power anyway...BATTLE BEAST - Wings of Light (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

I can't believe they put ads on this song 🤣

I have seen Wintersun live 3 times and they sound just as good live as they do here. They are one of the best live bands that I have ever seen. Oh and their drummer is Kai Hahto, now also the drummer for Nightwish, also is married to Floor Jansen the lucky guy.

Hey, i understand you For the comersial. The video of the song should not be cut in pieces. I have the same thing. 😅

🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮🤘🤘🤘🤘💪💪💪💪

Lots of requests for other bands so I will give Evergrey another shot with you hope you get around to giving them a listen mostly music Video’s on their YT channel all great quality

Choppy? Check!

I'm so mad, I've actually seen these guys live once, but at the time I hadn't really gotten into them and looking back now I'm pissed at my younger, dumber self.

If still in search for bloody hell insane good masterpieces this might help you. Go search for INSOMNIUM they have made so far 8 albums only but worth trying. This band will hunt you for the rest of your entire life :) :) Try first these ones : Insomnium - One for sorrow , Insomnium - While we sleep, Insomnium - Weather The Storm

why scandivanian bands are so and so.. because meybe kaamos is a part of thing, all the darkness and snow.

Can't you just pay premiun to get those ads away? Edit: I was too fast, you told about it later.

8:35 Dude, please do yourself a favour and go KZfaq premium asap, you will never regret it. 0 ads ever and it also allows you to enable background play modes on mobile 11:10 I would say it is the perfectionism, professionalism and dedication that are extremely common traits here, as well as the fact that metal music is mainstream here

reactions to adverts were half the fun :) - sorry

I AM DOING ALL CAPS BECAUSE I NEED YOUR ATTENTION!!! YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO: Between The Buried And Me - Swim To The Moon. IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!! I PROMISE! New subscriber here keep it up my guy!

Chunky countries my friend, the best metal comes from scandinavia.

The real question here is why don't you have KZfaq premium, but I bet you got Netflix or Disney :D

The guys can play really well, no question about it! But the synthesizers screw up the song for me. It's all a bit TOO epic! I bet without it the song would be a real banger! But this way it sounds more like happy metal than heavy metal! Rainbows and Unicorns..trallalla

You cant find music like finns made 🇫🇮

Good stuff but for god sake pay for an ad free experience if you're going to react.

adblocker dude, it is not that hard

I recomended on every video.....i sub now...
