listen to the live @ sonic pump studios version of this, amazing also, Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter)

Wintersun "Time." Its brutal and stunningly beautiful. Im man enough to say that I tear up every single time. Simply perfect.

WINTERSUN - Time (live @ Sonic Pump studios) #painintheask

Also, if you enjoyed that, you might like some of Ensiferum’s older stuff. Ensiferum was Jari Maenpaa’s (guitarist/vocalist) other band. The first two albums are spectacular. As is Wintersun’s first album. Side note: the Wintersun drummer, Kai Hahto, is now Nightwish’s drummer.

Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Wintersun - Time (live at Sonic Pump studios)

"That song should win a Grammy" Comment of the year ! Totally agree :) Keep up the good work !

I don't care what anyone says Wintersuns debut album is one of the top 10 best metal albums period.

Greetings from FINLAND!! 🇫🇮 🤘😎🤘

Wintersun - Loneliness You need to hear that one, in my opinion it´s their best song by a mile...

I've heard of Floorgasm but I think I've just witnessed Wintersungasm. Greetings from Finnish metalhead

Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) for sure the next one of them.

My favorite song of all time guys. Just brilliance and excellence in music form. Jari is the singer, composer, guitarist and the one who did the arrangements in every song, just a brilliant man. I'm really glad that you liked, but I REALLY recommend the live version at the Sonic Pump Studios, it's even better and you'll see how they're completely beasts live

Another Finnish band, we've got plenty of them :D. Wintersun has quite epic songs. Live from Sonic studios (remastered version) is better imo, you can really see them (Jari and Teemu) playing guitars, there's a lot of stuff going on. Since you got that guitar there in the background, you could get some hints how to play it. Check that live video just for fun. Drummer is a beast, Kai Hahto, current Nightwish drummer.

Any live performance from sonic pump studios is pure gold, welcome to the world of Wintersun..your in for a ride! Watch same song live now and react to that too:)

By the way, Wintersun and Nightwish currently share the drummer) his name is Kai Hahto, he is amazing)) you must see him playing this live!!! There is drum cam video for a couple of his songs with Nightwish and Wintersun))

I always enjoy watching people discovering the greatness of Wintersun...since you didn’t start with the live rehearsal videos I hope the next one will be #painintheask Time- Time I live rehearsals at sonic pump studios (REMASTERED). There is no turning back from Wintersun ;)

We are slowly converting you to Symphonic Metalheads! Lol! Love seeing the smile on your faces.

Welcome to epic Nordic metal! Finland is one of my favourite countries to visit, and Finnish bands are some of my favourite bands to listen to. And now the #painintheask part: Kalmah - Withering Away Kalmah - Hades Kalmah - They Will Return Kalmah - My Nation Kalmah - The Groan of Wind Kalmah - Take Me Away I think you can guess my favourite band.

Hell yeah, Wintersun has such an epic and mystical feel. The occasional track can get a little too frenetic and "blast beaty", but most are just amazing. I recommend Death And The Healing, a more subdued song with clean vocals and great sweeping melodies \m/

Yes! Next Wintersun Time @sonic pump studios.

Wintersun 👍👍

Her assessment of music of the gods is right on.

I haven't heard this one before, the metal gods are pleased.

Hello Kel and Rich! Please check out Wintersun: Loneliness(Winter) from their latest album Forest Seasons! This song is pure magic, beauty and goosebumps!

Oh boy, why I do I always gotta love you more every time I watch?

Well, since you asked :) Blind Guardian - ...And then there was silence . 14 + minutes epic battle of the gods #painintheask

I love your eargasms through every song you listen to. 😂 Guys! You just reacted to Winnnterssssuunnnn! You're officially my favorite couple. 😊

Blind Guardian - "And then there was Silence" (original version)

Also if you dont already know... One guy wrote, mixed and mastered this and all other songs by himself.. the best band ever, probably as vital as oxygen in my life

Kai Hahto of Wintersun took over drumming in Nightwish because his best friend Jukka asked him to 😎 Jukka was battling Insomnia. The live Studio versions, when they have them are even more awesome.👍 Yes you two will there Floorever wich is Floortastic. 😜

Guys please please listen to the live version of this song... it's way better than you already think it is... you'll see they are musical geniuses...

I've been suggesting this song for a while.... just to find out you already did it XD ONE OF THE BEST REACTIONS VIDEO FOR MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIME!!!! JARI IS THE MOZART OF THIS ERA! thank you for this video.

Excellent. Wintersun are one of my favourite bands. I think they embody 'epic' in every sense of the word. They seriously havent got a bad song. 🤘🏼if you want to hear one of the best guitar solos ever listen to their Winter Madness song, remastered. If you love guitar...also, try to listen to their other Time songs on the live at sonic pump vids. Production blows this away.

I would definitely like to see you react to the rehearsal version of this. It's insane. You can see the work that was put into it and it's simply a better version.

Thanks to react, I feel pretty true, this is really cool. React to Angra, a brazilian metal band that mixes several elements, I'm sure they will enjoy it. Angra - Make Believe (ballad) Angra - Nova Era (Power) Angra - Magic Mirror (Prog)

Another finnish band worth listening to is Sonata Arctica. Songs called 'I Have A Right', 'Love', 'Life', just to mention a few. Greets from Finland :)

Wintersun = EPIC

New sub just for the greatest metal song of all time! RISE!

Lol, I was going to hashtag painintheask this one tonight! But, the live one in the studio. :) Keep churning them out, guys!

Yeeeessssssss!!!!! Thank you!!

I just love the face of Kal enjoying the music! New suscriber from Argentina! Keep going with wintersun, every song is epic!

Wintersun - Time (live rehearsal at sonic pump studio) you will absolutely love it, and probably everything else from Wintersun too haha. Nice reaction :)

#painintheask Insomnium - One For Sorrow Insomnium - While We Sleep Either one, or both :)

Y'all are awesome. Love how y'all get into the music! Keep up the good work!!!

Watching your reaction to this song just made me smile all the way through :)

Wintersun Loneliness (Winter). Little different, but very emotional song!!

EPICA - KINGDOM OF HEAVEN LIVE. You simply have to. Absolutely amazing, their best performance. Nightwish are my favourite but this song is EPIC!

#painintheask so good to see a first time wintersun reaction again! I wasn't upset that you didn't react to the live one, but you definitely should see one. My Recommendation: Time (live at sonic pump studios) After that you really should check out their whole album, The Forest Seasons, starting with spring. As much as everyone likes seeing reactions to Lonliness (Winter), I think listening to it chronologically is the best. It's only 4 songs

You really need to watch this song and some of the other songs off this album, Live in the studio. That is killer.

UNLEASH THE ARCHERS - Awakening (Full Band Playthrough Video) DEVIN TOWNSEND - Kingdom (for EMGtv) There are a lot of reaction channels on here but you two really make it special. I love watching you discover and react to these magical artworks of music. You've also brought me back to music I used to love but drifted away from, like Dream Theater. Thanks to you, I've now been listening to DT at the office every day!

Eluveitie rebirth. Your lady will love it.

wow, never expected to see Wintersun here....lol... Love these guys...more obscure stuff you should check out, Unleash the Archers, Beast in Black, TYR, Avantasia... Those are just a few been listening to alot recently anyways, that most people dont know about,lol, but great job as always!!!

At 13:25...this woman’s love for you, man, it’s eternal! You’re blesses to have found each other! Voice of experience! My wife is EVERYTHING....I get ya.

Love this one)) but you should see it live)) do Wintersun - Time (live from Sonic Pump studio) #MetalChickPick

Everything was epic! Love you guys! Find someone who looks at you like Kel looks at Rich or vice versa! I wish you all the best and hope to find a piece of it myself :)

Thx guys...You react only to good music though it takes couple time to listen this 1 it to sink in....That melody of "we are sons of winter and staaaars...." haunts me...everyday.

also Time from the same sonic pump sessions & also Loneliness lyric video.

Kamelot - Center of the Universe. Studio version. EPIC AF.

It is amazing what can be done with a simple sailor's hornpipe melody, isn't it?

Wintersun - Land of Snow and Sorrow Wintersun - Time

Dimmu Borgir - Gateways (Forces of the Northern Night live) please - such a great performance!

Thank you so much for this reaction! I'm a strong empath so I feel the feeling of others so I haven't enjoyed this song so much in a long time! The natural continuation would be song "Time" (make sure it's the Remastered version). Looking forward seeing your reaction to that song. :)

#painintheask Song Death and the healing Band Wintersun

Another Masterpiece from Finland... Amazing Album by the way that has to be in every collection. Greetings from Germany. Check out Savatage "Ghost in the ruins"

Unleash the Archers-Awakening full band play through #painintheask

"Ninja sidekicks to the head...!" LOL... Wintersun is Powermetal (with a capital "P"!)... "Starchild" is another good Wintersun song More great powermetal bands: Sabbaton, Unleash the Archers (already requests in the comments for songs from these bands)

#painintheask thank you scientist - blood on the radio

Everyone is right- Time is awesome and you have to treat yourself to the rehearsals remastered- for this, Time and land of snow and sorrow. They are a level above even this

4:28 Wintergasm :DDD

Hello Rich And Kel, they're great! #PainInTheAsk Iron Maiden, Paschendale. He talks about the Battle of Paschendale, which pitted the British and allies against the Germans in the First World War. Iron Maiden is, in my opinión, the epitome of metal, no doubt what ever! Greeting from Argentina 🤘🎸🎶 My english is not Good, sorry 😅

For epicness, either song from the Moonsorrow album V - Ravaged. Yep. It's a full length album with 2 songs. Or the titular song from their EP Tulimyrsky.

Please react to Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys

The official studio version would have given you bit better picture of band in action and how the drummer Kai from Nightwish looses few pints of sweat just by banging the drums - but still, nice reaction 🙂👍. Other goodies you might like too are "Loneliness" and "Forest that weeps".

You must check out Wintersun “Time” live at Sonic Pump Studio

A good song to punch you in the emotional gut as it does for me as a disabled army vet, and many others, is the song "Wrong side of heaven" by Five Finger Death Punch - Ther official music video for the sond is the best. I remembered them playing a few times for us overseas at a USO event for free for active servicemembers. If you want a solid group with a good message in all their songs, most of which are a direct payage of homage to the people who serve this great nation, whether it be those warriors are alive, or payed their full dues in death, by giving everything so in conquest and victory, the people that signed a contract up to and including their death in combat, can live on. So the nation can remain free and prosperous paid for without second thoughts or regret, by the ones whos names are carved into the memorials for the fallen. As a huge supporter of their support for vets and active duty members, and putting into a masterpiece message of the casualties of war. Not all casualties are by death from the enemy, but by their own hand after the war when you reflect on what you have done, given, lost. Five Finger Death Punch address' many issuess that are important for public understanding of the poor mental health issues that plagues so many of us. I really hope you give the offical music video for Wrong Side of Heaven a listen, maybe twice or thrice as the info convayed in it will stick with you forever and help see things from a different perspective and pay extra salute to those veterans you see in small town parades from wars past and reach out to support them because the wounds of war may scab over, but the brain never forgets what it saw, what it was commanded to do. Survival is a primal instict, and in war, there are a lot of situations where you have to see, or do certain things that go against all forms of sanity, just to survive. When your world is painted with the blood of yourself, your friends, and hopefully mostly your enemies, Stepping away primal survival and back into civilian life is exceedingly difficult , more so than combat because at least in the theater of war, you are surrounded entirely by people of that lifestyle that can relate. Once you are out, its feels as if its a constant interogation by the VA to get you the help you need, physical and mental. And due to how hard it was for me to talk about things with the VA, the instution there to protect ones like me, do the opposite in a lot of cases. They make the process of getting help so daunting and completely wrapped in this aura of anxiety making it feel like the VA will just find a way to fuck you, so many just dont get the help you need. Its gotten massively better the last 2 years at the vs but it still needs a lot of workd.

The drummer (Kai Hahto) also plays drums in the band Nighwish.

The songwriter, Jari Mäenpää is actually a completely self-taught musician. He's one of the top guitar players in metal, he's also the singer and the one who plays all the keyboards (apparently there's like 70+ keyboard tracks in this song) and to top it off he's also the guy who records, engineers and mixes the songs. Though, as a result of the entire band being incredible musicians lead by a total perfectionist, it takes ages for them to release anything. Their first album came in 2004, second in 2012 and the latest was released in 2017. D:

Bask in its glory!

Guess I'll just use cheat code and suggest Ayreon - The Day That The World Breaks Down - The Source (2017) :) Don't want to spoil it by describing the music, let's just say you will love it.

do more wintersun pls, like Sadness and Hate, Time or The forest that weeps. Cool reaction as always, thank you guys

Hey guys, so glad you enjoyed this! I would like to recommend the band Eluveitie, their song "Rebirth" or "King" are probably good introductions. They are a Swiss folk metal band featuring nontraditional instruments along with the metal standards :-)

Well, there's Nightwish's current drummer for you. 😊 Please check out Mirror, Mirror by Blind Guardian. Simply one of the best songs ever.

Finnish metal is the best metal of the world. Just like bands like a Wintersun, Children Of Bodom, Nightwish, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, Evil Drive, Warmen, Elias "Evil" Viljanen, HIM, Apocalyptica, Tarot, Thunderstone, Raskasta Joulua, Jarkko Ahola, Sentenced, Brother Firetribe, Kenziner, Tarja Turunen... Check all those bands because i bet you love some of them. Greetings Helsinki, Finland.

OK, Rich, so we all know that this was your idea, right? Well, as a thank you, and in recognition that you are essentially taking the lovely Kel out for a night on the internet, I think you owe it to her to take her out shopping for some nice dresses and necklaces :-)

#painintheask Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King

this is SUCH a great song. and yes you guys PLEASE don't burn yourself out. remember to enjoy this, it can get stressful though, so I have heard. Pace yourselves and have fun! we aren't going anywhere :D

Ok , so kel gets off on orchestrating metal!!! Isn't it orgasmic?? Soo many other great bands to check out. FKESHGOD APOCALYPSE-Eulogy

Hello, I'm a new subscriber, I really like your feeling during the songs. My first suggestion is Sonata Arctica - White Pearl, Black Ocean (live in Kemi), such a great song.

Now that you have enjoyed this piece, watch the live session, you'll love it.

I think Kai Hahto is the best drummer in the world. He is also the drummer in nightwish since 2014 when his friend Jukka had to take a break due to his problem with insomnia. Finland has lot of good metal bands with good drummers and they often have exchanges between the bands, both with music and love.

Soooo... Wintersun - Battle Against Time #painintheask

They kill live. They kill.

If you liked this - and you obviously did - you should try Whispered - Sakura Omen.

YOU ARE EDICTED !!!! THAT'S FOR SURE !!! ahahaha

Man she loves you so much

Haha. Open your eyes best reactors and look at the studio live video to this song

I've heard a few Wintersun songs. I haven't heard anything weak. I don't listen to this style ( symphonic stuff) really, but it seems quality. I'm more of an Opeth guy...or Gojira ( do Stranded by Gojira first...very accessable).

Dream Theater’s “Count of Tuscany” is badass too

Shame on mainstream music for not recognizing this band as Grammy material

Hi there😃 You realy must SEE the live rehersal at sonic studio, Time, Sons of winter and stars, land of now and sorrow and meny more.
