Im so proud to be finnish when watching these guys play

"Finland’s tap water is among the highest quality in the world and is not only completely safe but a pleasure to drink. In Finland, tap water has been found to be significantly cleaner than bottled water. You can drink tap water everywhere". There you go! 😎

Those melodies are so Finnish. And it’s not in the water but in genes.

Time to react to some more Finnish metal and rock.

Great reaction. Like you, I've only seen the Sonic Pump trifecta. I'm ready to branch out with this band, so LET'S GO!!! 🤘😜🤘

Greetings from Finland. "Land of snow and Sorrow" 🙂🇫🇮🤘 Here would be a suggestion for the next Wintersun song. It’s a slightly rarer song because this isn’t on any record. The video is not top class but just because of Jarin’s guitar solo is worth watching😊 🤘The way of The fire. Live in Hollywood.

Loneliness album version

Man these guys are good

The secret of the Finnish water is that there's less in it. Less that doesn't belong there. But the challenge in that is increasing also in Finland. Yeah, it's a saying - but I just liked to take that dry approach to it. The humour type is often used in Finland. So a taste of Finland for you in another dish :) But the secret in the music... is between the ears, it's the mentality. People with Finnish roots who have migrated elsewhere produce mostly that elsewhere. Though some saunas and pullas they usually have kept, + some songs. But like American Finns who have made their sings with their Finnish which is american accented, speak of the land or that borough, usually. Finns are prone to practicality. Yet gathered in masses, like in the home country, the poetic part has its space too. And until space it seems to soar. Long winter nights bring the space close, and the exotic, poetic Northern Lights. Listen to this with a video of a winter scenery showing the Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis, and think it's cold there. You want to stay in, wm in a wooden cabin, but your mind is flying out there with the stars and the lights in the sky, space. And you'll also hear the sounds of winter outside: wind, sifting snow, dropping snow lumps, crack of a tree split in the cold, maybe a wolf in the distance.

Epic Folk Metal. More!

I also think that there is really good music education in Finland. All study and play some music in school and also there is music conservatory system which is quite cheap and you can study all kinds of styles like classical, pop/rock, folk, jazz and even metal.

Welcome to visit us whenever it's possible 🙃 I'm drinking the water and I just listen these who have had some more heavy "water" 🤣 By the way check this young lad Juho Ranta-Maunus, we will hear from him, he have had the water I didn't 🤗 All the best from Finland, stay safe and healthy 🤗

Sadly there aren't many (if any lol) good live recordings. I recommend "Storm" and "The Way of the Fire" (Ultimate version) from the channel WintersunExtras. These are audio only and the quality is far from perfect (most of the layers and intricacies get lost or are hard to make out at best) , but even with those shortcomings those songs are so ridiculously good that I find myself listening to them over and over again. Can't wait for a high quality studio recording for these two! Hurry up Jari goddammit 😉

Wintersun (Live @ Tuska 2013) [Remastered] here you are looking ;)

this video deserves more views

What we finns are made of? Metal music, clean water and sisu 🤘. And if you want Finland citizenship, learn couple finnish words, do kalsarikännit and shout PERKELE!!! And that's it 😆 If you do Wintersun live next, then I recommended: Wintersun - Sleeping Stars - Live at Karmøygeddon 2019

You’re most welcome to Finland, latest when all this covid-madness ends! In the meanwhile, here’s a few more great Finnish bands to get started with; Insomnium - Valediction and Bloodred Hourglass - Where the Sinners Crawl 🤘🇫🇮

There's not much good live footage of wintersun. I could recommand some video such as Sleeping Stars - Live at Karmøygeddon or anysong from Summer Breeze live even if the audio mixing is really bad, especially for the vocals

These three are all in one album and listening to it feels like its all a one 50 min song with different parts

This is kind of Wintersun's tribute to their home country, Finland.

OK, hear me out: for live material I suggest *"Wintersun - The Way Of The Fire (live in Hollywood)"* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a997fMKCqrWsnIE.html It's a song that has not yet been officially released but will be on the album "Time II" when/if it ever comes out. It's not professionally recorded and filmed but it's well cut together and good enough to realize that's it's probably their best song to date. It's fast, it's melodic, it's intricate, it has one of their absolute best and insane guitar solos and it's just overall a beautiful and powerful composition. If you enjoy the band... this is the ultimate thing!

Land of snow and sorrow, happiest country in the world. :-)

Welcome ✌

It's the land of snow and sorrow.... that's why they are great musicians.... nothing to do if you don't like moose or booze other than play your guitar

Time II D-46 😎

Hey, awesome reaction as always! If you want to hear these guys live, I have two recommendations from you, firstly, Winter Madness kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLWCbL1m39yRn3k.html , specifically this version captures their energy really well and the audio quality is better than in other recordings. Secondly, an older recording from when Kaj was still playing with them of Starchild, which I believe is Jari's personal favourite song he wrote kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fJamq7mq0pnclX0.html

Финны - очень певучий народ, сама природа там поет баллады, в России финно-угорские народы тоже очень музыкальны и певучи

Like others said, there aren't many live recordings with quality audio. Here are some of my suggestions - - Starchild (live at Tuska 2013 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zqmid5Wfx9yzYmw.html), excellent audio quality mixed with a video from audience. It's probably their best song from debut album. Really an epic one. - Eternal Darkness (live at Summer breeze 2017) - This one was from the newest album, first time performed on that show. Even though the band was sick and audio mixing is a bit off, it's still a must see performance. This one is their most brutal, really dark song and one of my favorites. There's also official lyric version it. - The Way of the Fire - still an unreleased song that fans are waiting for over a decade. Judging by the few live performances it might be their best one when finally released. The audio is not great, but still worth watching as there are two face melting solos by Jari. - Sleeping stars 2019 live has a really good quality so it's worth checking out as well. Cheers

Just pure tap water... wellcome to rabbit hole known as Finnis Metal... ;D

Torille!
