For me Wintersun is one of those bands that you dont listen casually or in background... it requires a special focus and mood to get into the songs.
@sugoruyo7 жыл бұрын
It's humanly impossible to listen to those riffs casually, in the background. The human body is designed to headbang to Wintersun and will do so involuntarily. Might as well just go full bore and get into it with everything you've got.

The drummer is really something, btw. his name is Kai Hahto and there are a couple of drumcam videos of him on youtube - just in case you are interested. He is also the temporary drummer of Nightwish and he used to play in Swallow the Sun. If you ever want to check out some doom/death, Swallow the Sun - Cathedral Walls is probably worth to take a look (he was their drummer at the time they recorded that).

Tim, I think These Low Lands is a cover and Tomi Joutsen (Amorphis) joined for the vocals. Of course it is an amazing song, just maybe not the most representative. Plus as far as I know, it has no official video. Though this reminds me: Amorphis is also a band that Galacticriminal should check out. I wouldn't be surprised if they would also be mentioned/requested regularly.

Wintersun is arguably my favorite band ever and this was the first song I ever heard from them and I was blown away. I've seen them three times and they play it every time. Their drummer Kai Hahto is a good buddy of mine and one of my favorite drummers. This song is extremely complex on drums. He's fucking unreal dude and he NAILS EVERYTHING live. Jari (vocalist) is in my youtube photo. I hung out with them every day on 70000 Tons of Metal 2015 and they are the nicest dudes. Jari and Kai are a riot together. First show they played on that cruise, they opened with this and then I pretty much lost my voice for the entire cruise and that was on the second day. They have a new guitar player so they're now a 5 piece with Jari only doing vocals live. If you ever get a chance to see them, YOU SHOULD SEE THEM! Really glad you dig them, man!

I've seen them live last month on the 28th in Tilburg (NL) and they played this song live. Granted not with Kai behind the drums, as he is touring with Nightwish currently, but man..such an epic and euphoric feeling does this give when hearing this live! They are absolutely amazing and incredibly talented musicians. In my opinion one of the most underrated epic Scandinavian death metal bands ever.
@OPJ19747 жыл бұрын
It was really one take. The drummer is Kai Hahto - IMO one of the top five heavy metal drummers in the world. He's got used to lot higher tempos than that (his former band rotten sound played grindgore). He has also played in Swallow the Sun and currently in Nightwish. Even in Nightwish he looks like that while playing, so it wasn't pain but commitment and love ... and lot of sweat :D He has studied the method called Alexander technique that gives you tools to play drums with very energy saving and ergonomic way. What I like about Kai is his way of playing. Not only accurate and very technical but very groovy, dynamic and musical, even with this kind of music and high tempos. He also plays other styles - you name it: rock, blues, jazz and even light (finnish) pop music. And one of the nicest persons I have ever met.

Wintersun rocks! They're great live. About vocals, many singers use "vocal drive" and rip their vocal chords cuz they don't do it properly. "Drive" is like the distortion in a guitar, but in the voice, making the "growling/screaming". Wintersun's vocalist studied Music, he goes from melodic to drive voice easily and smoothly. React to "Loneliness (Winter)" by Wintersun from the album "The Forest Seasons", divided in season's like Vivaldi''s. It goes from aggressive to melodic Metal.
