A little over 2 months left to go and the wait will be over! Thank you Jari!

This song is like a 10-minute orgasm

Time II D-78 😎

Time II D-82 😎

Hard to believe this was 5 and a half years ago already!

Bathory

Delivered.

How is it possible, taht this masterpiece only has 557 thumbs up? :(

Thats sound for eternity . Forever ❤

One of the greatest songs ever written.

Although August 30th will be a day of celebration and part of that is because we will finally hear the mythical Silver Leaves, which is kinda like something which is (and should be) forbidden from mere mortals, so there's a certain kind of sadness that it becomes mundane, but of course it's bound to happen at some point and I couldn't be happier that the time is near. Until that, I'll cherish its mythical status and I absolutely love that Jari didn't spoil us with it yet although it's also incredibly frustrating. I sooooo much want to hear it already and that intro tease made the wait so much more worse, but August 30th will be a massive reward for me and for us.

for a sec i was wondering why the "one with the shadows" solo didn't came right after the intro

My millionth time listening to this and it still sounds just as fantastic as it always has. Just makes me more and more excited to hear the proper version.

What a masterpiece 😂😂🤘🏼🤘🏼 i like it!!

It doesn't have the sauce. It's got all the bells and whistles like wintersun, but it's kind of a surface level imitation unfortunately. It's not bad, I like many parts but it's not really glued together like Wintersun does it.

You've done a great job of this, I love it already! I think all the vocals sound great!

Why I only find this now. This is a goddamn masterpiece.

You should make a new version that includes the studio snippets that were released in the Time Package video!

I love the opening, and think the bassist really meshed well with the drums and the guitars

Finally Jari will release Time II. I was wrong that this will never happen. From 2006 until now he had to mix and to master the songs. I don't believe that 18 years are required for this. One gets the impression that he deliberately delayed this release to maximize the hype around it and now time has come to get the maximum cash out of it. Now who will buy the Time package. Only the hardcore fans who need the early demos and the isolated tracks. The Time I version 2.0 and The Forest Seasons remaster will surely be released on other platforms like bandcamp (Jari won't miss out on this extra income). Where the remaster of The Forest Seasons isn't really interesting, because for example the computer generated drums weren't replaced by Kai's drum tracks. As far as the demos are concerned, they are not very interesting musically (albeit polished), because they are usually unfinished drafts. When artists start unpacking their demos, they probably have nothing new to offer. Therefore let's wait until 30th August and see what Time II has to offer and than decide to buy it.

I don't know if you'll like the idea, but I bet it would be much fun if you made a full version of I Like It, I Like It by Wintersun 😅

Crowd are boring, what they are doing there?

Hey dude, I threw together a mix of Storm that people seem to be really liking. I know some fans want to save their ears for the Time II release but if you wanted to hear it, it's on my channel 😎🤘 Just sharing the love.

For me the early demos give the same emotions as the old game soundtracks do for you

Where can i find this loneliness-version at 2:10?

I'm honestly more excited about the early demos than I am about Time II. My love for metal stems from the early 3 albums of Children of Bodom, and that cool folky-neo-classical sound, and early Jari hits all that for me. Obviously I'm pumped for Time II, but like most I've already heard 2 of the songs live. I'm betting 75% of the early demos will be kinda meh, but that 25% will give me a lot to listen to for quite some time.

indeed, I see many people write that they are more excited about the demos than about Time II. For me only Time II really matters. I love that Jari is releasing his demos, but as he stated, that's dessert, and the main course is Time II. and I fully expect a remixed version of Time I in the same style as Time II so they form one coherent piece of art.

Sorry about your brother mate. I've made a note to check out that podcast. I'm mostly excited for Time II also. Time is my favourite song and I feel only Silver Leaves will have a chance to come close to that for me, I can't wait to hear it.

I really do hope that the "April surprise" is what you predicted. However in the interview with A&P Reacts, Jari said that he thinks about Time I and Time II as separate albums, and that's why he wrote fields of snow as an intro to Time II. Let's hope that that was just a red herring and that the surprise will be a complete remaster of Time I with a seamless integration into and out of Time II. It has to be. In the forest package he called the Time I remaster as 1.5. No way he is not doing the 2.0 with the release of Time II, wouldn't make any sense if he didn't.

I expect a lot from One with the Shadows. Thats gonna be huge.

It’s interesting I have an opposing opinion for the early stuff of Jari regarding Ensiferum, but I totally respect and understand where you were coming from. Time 1 is an amazing album and that must’ve been an extremely difficult and tough time for you. It’s funny, When Time Fades Away is probably my favorite song on that album even though it’s the intro song. It sets the album up so nicely for its grandiose adventure. If you haven’t already, check out Ensiferum’s Lost In Despair, I think it’s the closest thing to loneliness or something similar. That song got me through a very tough time in my life. I completely agree with you about loneliness. That song was such a surprise to me when I first heard the preview I immediately teared up. Your ultimate version has been enjoyed by friends and family who also enjoyed loneliness, even though they’re not that interested in metal. I have watched your mixes of the live versions of the way of the fire and storm and I still get chills even now. I was crying listening to the one with the shadows preview. I will probably also be a mess listening to the full album. I agree that if you filmed yourself , it probably wouldn’t be the most genuine reaction because you knew you were being filmed. My girlfriend wanted to see my reaction to the previews after I told her but it wasn’t the same when she was sitting there. I also have a long commute and listen to a lot of music , and was getting misty eyed just listening to the previews. I’m going to seclude myself when the full album releases just to completely be in the moment. I really like your thoughts that the time album will include one and two and not be a separate album. And your prediction of silver leaves blending in to When Time Fades Away is amazing! now I will be disappointed if this doesn’t happen! But maybe it will be a project of yours after the album releases ;-) PS the time 1 vinyl is being re-released on nuclear blast so definitely check that out! It comes out at the end of April for $29. Cheers!

Time II is the single highest anticipated album release I've ever been excited about and it's not even close. I feel like a lot of my friends and family don't even understand it as they're not really fans of Wintersun. But I will probably cry listening to it when it releases. I just love their music because music because I've always been a fan of not just metal music but lots of orchestral music in video games and movies. Wintersun just combines both those elements so perfectly to me.

Jari should see what his music is doing to people...i hope he will watch this

But what's the April surprise gonna be????

Thanks for sharing your thoughts buddy. I 100% agree with my "purpose" for listening to music, and the importance of listening to old video game soundtracks. When Time I came out I was very deep in hard drug addiction, and some of those songs are the sole reason I was able to keep myself from giving up. As you so perfectly said, I can still look back on the good times fondly of riding around and screaming the lyrics with my younger brother, and I think it's important to do so. I did used to be big into Ensiferum, Norther, etc. But although I'm enjoying the unreleased stuff for what it is, that's not really the type of music that I listen to any more. So while it's a bit of a nostalgia hit and fun to experience, it pales in comparison to the emotions I will feel when I experience Time II for the first listen. Again thanks for your words, they mean a lot to many of us.

I've been obsessed with hearing Silver Leaves ever since I read the name on the tentative Time album listing. And the more I hear about how this song is truly special by Jari and Kai in interviews, the more I want to listen to it. Only hearing a couple seconds of the intro in the Time Package reveal really bummed me out. I guess I have 5 more months to wait but still, it feels like this is the song I've been waiting to hear for all my life.

viva Wintersun 🤘🤘🤘

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Very eloquently put sir! Cant wait for the album. & love your track Home. 😃🤘🏻

Thank you for sharing all that mate ❤ love your channel!

I share the sentiment about the legendary early demos. Yes, I'm excited about them, but nowhere near as excited as I am with Time II. Although I fell in love with the band before Time I was released and I love the debut album very much, Time I definitely was on another level and of course when I heard a live recording of The Way of the Fire, I thought "this is it. This is the thing I want the most" and thus begun the loooong wait for Time II and now the wait is almost over, finally, and I couldn't be happier. I've lived the past 13 years for this moment.

I love the use of arpeggios before the solo is used artistically to create a build up before the climax of the solo….not a “duh I can sweep” but ART

Brilliant

5 albums, even if 80% of it sucks.....is amazing.

love the riff at 6:17

Yes! New old Ensiferum. Drama can come true.

I would like to hear or read your thoughts about this.

I wish I could experience watching the package reveal video again for the first time and have my reaction recorded since I was duly blown away when TWotF started to play. At that moment I understood completely why the album was delayed so much.

👍

Now that we know how the studio version sounds like, it will just absolutely destroy us in sheer majestic epicness

El mejor de sus temas, al menos para mí!!!!
