Now "Time" from the same session.

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 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 epic songs you will ever 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 Bassist Jukka Koskinen is an official Nightwish member now. So ... I think that sums it up 🤘😎🤘.

Nice. I'll second the recommendation that it's time for Time. Their bassist Jukka has been a touring session bassist with Nightwish for the past year (replacing Marko who quit end of 2020) and was just announced as a permanent Nightwish member.

Very nice reaction!!! You have to try 'Time" is a very good song

We are Sons & Daughters, from ☃️❄️ and ✨🇫🇮❤️🤘

As a Wintersun fan i can say thats a great reaction video dude, pls do more Wintersun content, appreciate it!

You smiled the entire reaction bro love it wintersun is the best band 🤘🤘🤘 need to check out land of snow an sorrow and time both from the same rehearsal

Well done with your reaction dude! I've heard this many times during reactions and this song has really grown on me! It feels like some voyagers setting off to find their destiny or something... Since this bassist (Jukka Koskinen) took over from Marko in NW, I wonder if this is the level of skill Tuomas requires as a standard for a musician to be considered for playing in NW (lol)? Best wishes from Namibia 🇳🇦

With so many genres in metal i finaly discovered the truth. Theres life before hearing Wintersun and life after hearing Wintersun. Benchmark not topped.

Winter madness has a SICK FAST guitar solo 🤗 I don't know the beats/min. But they would be able to cross the state of Texas in a couple of hours 😄😄

The bassist Jukka does lower growls.

Jari is missing half of one of his lungs, which makes his vocals even more impressive. And he learned how to sing pretty much on his own.

Yes.

Loneliness is always amazing

Not only the Drummer Kai Hato is at Nightwish now, also the Bassist Jukka Koskinen is at Nightwish now. 🙂

Actualy in start it was a harp and in middle folky section it was them electric guitars with piezzo picups to grab the accoustic sound but given they are still steel strings you get that sound i think

My interpretation of the lyrics is that they are purposefully vague to be the standard heroes journey to allow the imagination to roam with what the song means to the listener. I feel like a lot of Wintersun lyrics follow this style to allow the lyrics to be a subjective experience. Kind of similar writing style to TOOL. Also, since only one other person has mentioned it so far, you need to do Time next from the same session. You'll probably like that one more and it's arguably the better song.

The most metal thing 🤘

If you've ever lost a loved one, you should listen to Loneliness (Winter) from The Forest Seasons.

Time is a bit more melodic in the vocals, but still with plenty of heavy 🙂

That's the Nightwish drummer and bassist now, they just made Jukka (bass) a full member.

You get world class composer and four world class musicians together. Then rev shit out of them. Enjoy the result.

At the very beginning, the first stringed instrument is the kantele ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kantele )

React And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going - Gabriel Henrique (Jennifer Hudson Cover)

Lead singer Jari Mäenpää only has one lung

This song is old. 2012 How many songs have they released since this album? Eh about 4

Whilst you are commentating on Jari's vocals - you should know that he had half of one lung removed when he suffered from TB during his National Service

aurora borealis is as far fetch as any other guess

Jari doesn't, I think, ever explain much about the meaning of the lyrics and instead allows the listener to have their own interpretations
