"Here's the opener song from the Fantasy Metal Project, part of the Legendary Early Demos collection in the TIME PACKAGE. I wrote and recorded this song around 2000. Although I had the lyrics for the song, I never recorded vocals for it until 2024. Yes, check out my fresh, growling vocals (and "spoken vocal") with this remastered demo version of The Steel Of The Gods. I think the song is pretty cool, and it would be even better with massive orchestrations and modern production. But I hope you feel the magic of this demo!" - Jari
...The fire in our hearts is as strong as the steel of the Gods...
"The Steel Of The Gods" is part of the WINTERSUN - LEGENDARY EARLY DEMOS collection.

We bitched about not getting a new Wintersun album for years so now the man is throwing 6 albums worth of music at us all at once
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAHAHA my man
It's like when you send a document to the printer 6 times because it's not printing and then it all comes at once
Jari you MFer lol its about time we get something. Are there any TIME 2 songs out yet I can listen too? Oh how I've missed this sound.
He made the wait worth it
I swear we all went to a parallel universe where Jari never left Ensiferum, i'm in tears of joy right now!
I've always wished he could have done both projects!
Me too brother, me too. These early demos he's been releasing mean so much to those of us who are fans of old Ensiferum.
@@EridanTheEnchanter With his pace of album in 20 years he definetly could have
Same :D This is so good :D
This chugs at 2:40
Demo? This sounds better than most bands actual album recordings 😮
Gold Dragon from Rampart H3! Nice pic
Listening to this I just can't comprehend the thought.. 99.9% musicians, having this material, in their hands would release it after it's being recorded. Jari on the other hand was sitting on this stuff for (just think about it) nearly 20-30 years. Mind blowing. Another great song I feel I needed for the past 20 years in my life.
Now was the perfect TIME to release it! 😀
We get like 5 albums at once and only 50euro 😮
@@tonimatkala7812 5 albums + one ALBUM TO RULE THEM ALL + known bonuses + one unknown bonus
I gotta give mad respect to jari not just for the music but more giving the fans something to shut the negativity up instantly. Well done that’s magick.
@@tonimatkala7812 not only 5 albums, but ONE ALBUM TO RULE THEM ALL and countless bonuses
Fantasy Metal Project is TRUE third Ensiferum album!
You're right. Didn't expect such Ensiferum nostalgia here !
its like ensiferum and bal-sagoth had a baby, love it!
this reminds me the early / mid-area Ensiferum (1999-2007)
Sa sonne balsagoth vraiment
Stuck in my head all day. Love the old Ensiferum sound
Jari, you brillaint son of a gun! This song is freaking amazing!!!
Thanks! :D
The production is so good that I don't know whether to call this a demo
Thanks! It is remastered, though. :) The TIME PACKAGE will include both the original versions and the remasters of all the 56 demo tracks.
@@WintersunJariNice!
@@WintersunJari Really solid remaster, sounds almost perfect to me!
@@WintersunJariConsidering buying The Time Package. How long will the discount be available? And will we get the files sent so that we can upload them to private playlists on our streaming platforms of choice?
@@WintersunJariThis sounds amazing, so glad I pre ordered the package the first day!! Got to be the best purchase of my life. 😁😁😁
How blessed are we to get such goated music released every couple of days
this song feels like a proper transition song from ensiferum to the 1st wintersun album... new but feels right at home in the familiar wintersun soundscape
i didn't know i needed those demo albums till i heard them. thank you Jari for sharing this stuff with us! can't wait to hear what else the Time PACKAGE brings
Just what I thought as well, almost like the missing link between Ensiferum and Wintersun
For sure. It must be something along the lines of:
1. Jari writing is own music with nobody else trying to change things and...
2. Jari writing new Ensiferum material at the same time
Such a cool mix of flavors
Winterferum
Bal Sagoth
Ensife-sun 😂
Both epic, not just because of Jari, but also the overall history and direction/taste of each band ... Ensiferum's Iron is nothing like Wintersun's Beyond The Dark sun, yet both can be deeply appreciated by the same person! (me :D)
Perfect blend of early Wintersun and Ensiferum in my ears, I really look forward to the Fantasy Metal Project 🤘🤘
These songs are like a fine wine, decades later finally out of the barrel.
Amazing! Sounds like another one is going on repeat for me🤟
It has aged well in the barrel to say the least.
Without a doubt!
What a cool metaphore
When I heard The Dragon Song I knew the fantasy metal project would be my favourite, now with this song, I raise my sword and slay hordes of enemies. Feels like I am 12 y old again!
Jari, many thanks for decades of master work!
I'm only 15 and haven't heard many metal bands but you have to be one of the best bands surely. Onnittelut Time II saattamisesta loppuun!
@wintersunjari I am speachless! 🍀As a patreon and a very old companion of Wintersun music i always believed in you! The advanture never stops! Thank you for this masterpiece and all others! 🎸🌌☀️❄️
Thank you! :)
This is not only the best of the early demos we are yet to hear, this might also be one of the best songs I have heard in a long while and possibly one of the best songs of the year. If the rest of the fantasy metal project has this quaility I'm so excited to hear more. Wow, just wow!
Cool, glad you are enjoying it! :)
@@WintersunJariI really am, this will be on repeat for a while! Also, your vocals - both spoken and growls sound better than ever!
@@Triforce12345678 I definitely agree!
This is siiick! It's unfathomable to me that someone could have this material sitting on the computer and not release it as an album. Goddamn. I'm so happy that we finally get to hear this!
Jari, I genuinely think that you're alien that dwells among us - I mean that in the most complimentary way possible. Not only are you capable of creating such awesome music like this that's better than 99.99% of literally anything everyone else is putting out (and if I'm totally honest, I prefer this song to a decent amount of Wintersun material and I've only heard it twice), but you're seemingly happy to keep it unreleased for decades when I'd be leaping out to promote this everywhere as soon as I possibly could if it were me who wrote this. I simply cannot fathom the way in which your brain works. I'm in awe, and confused, and hyped up all at once. No other band but Wintersun can elicit such a wide range of emotions in someone. If this is what awaits on the fantasy metal project, I am SO ready. I've been looking forward to Time II (or Time, as it was back then) ever since 2010 when I first discovered Wintersun - I first found out about this fantasy metal project a few weeks ago, and I think I'm now already more excited for that than for anything else. You are a legend Jari.
These demos are incredible. I've already pre-ordered the Time Package, but I would've bought the Legendary Early Demos separately without hesitation as well if it was sold as its own product. The material has been glorious so far. Even the less refined songs. Also, the 2024 vocals are sounding great.
Awesome! Thank you. 🤘
Time is an appropriate concept to release things which have been existing beyond the time. Thank you Wintersun you guys.
It's almost as this has been planned all along.
The Old Man of Time has done it again.
I understand what you meant by Ensiferum meets Bal-Sagoth. This is clearly a song that could have become part of the early legendary days of epic melodic folk metal. Love it, even if it's 30 years late!
Sounds clean af! I can hear some Bal-Sagoth in here :D
Not suprising, he has said before that he has gotten inspiration from the almighty Bal-Sagoth 🔥
Yes indeed and his countrymen in Turisas
"Some"? I see a lot. Decent track!
this is like 99% Bal Sagoth
Great Bal-Sagoth vibes from this! Love it! 🤘
Made my day ❤
Lost my dog due to heart failure,and Jari as always cheer me up. ❤️
Condolences 😢
RIP Good Boy/Girl 😢
Rest in peace to your friend 🍻⚔️
RIP za kucu Strale brate, neka ti Jari pomogne u teškim vremenima ❤
Rest in peace
My husband must think I’m having an affair. I keep sneaking away to spend time alone with my phone and headphones obsessed with every new teaser release. Then today with the April surprise, I just can’t focus on anything else!!! Hahaha. Thank you Jari. ❤
Having a feeling that I am listening to an unreleased song from the 1st Ensiferum album. That is great, man!
OMG this is beyond awesome!
I recently got back into listening to the old Ensiferum stuff and this feels exactly like the spiritual successor to the first two albums.
I can't wait to listen to Time II and all your Demos... I am counting the days until everything will be released!
Thank You Jari!
jari. i am blessed. thank you.
Loving the variation of these demos!
Ive listened to this song (and well all other demos but especially this one) probably like 30 times a day since it was uploaded. Really love it!
Edit: 30 times, not even close. Way more. :D
I’m listening to this track multiple times per day too, what a song!!! Crazy to think it’s only a demo that’s more than 20 years old! Sounds way better than most albums of other bands.
I really had to do a double take and think "oh shit, this is 2024 vocals", they sound amazing Jari! Your vocals have definitely grown over time! Definitely an awesome mix of Ensiferum + Wintersun vibes!
This would have been so at home on the debut! Love all this new (old) stuff so much! Jari, we’re not worthy!!!! (genuflecting violently)
Thanks Jari, feels like early (best) Ensiferum 😊
Amazing. Can't wait for august. I will also wait from now on until we get the modern versions of all of these demos.... They have all been so great, hope you will someday get to redoing all of these amazing songs. Long live Jari!
This keeps getting better and better 🤘🤘🤘
Another amazing jari original. Absolutely amazing 🦾🤘
Thanks! :)
Thank you so much for releasing these!
Onnttelut 300k ennakkotilausten ylityksestä. Toivotaan ett pääsette 500k 🙏🙏
400k menee ainakin tätä vauhtia rikki. Jos huhtikuun lisäys buustaa ennakkotilauksia, niin eiköhän 500k mee rikki.
This song smells like 2000s epic metal to me.
In other words: delicious from start to finish!
Jari did not wasted his time all these years! Fantastic result! Congrats Jari
This one is the best of what i've heard from the demos so far/
I have a feeling this April Surprise, whatever it is, is gonna blow my mind even more than it already has been blown. Only a few days to go...
Gotta love that early Ensiferum sound ❤ happy you're releasing all of these hidden treasures!
A Like from Liminal Soul is not a simple Like.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Great interpretation.
The previous songs may have had some subtle Ensiferum vibes, but this truly sounds like a track that could've been released on one of the first 2 Ensiferum albums. And I wouldn't be surprised if someone would tell me "you just missed that track all these years".
100% agree, have the same feeling
This is 100% Bal-sagoth vibes if you haven't heard of them
@@balsagoth0077clearly, this song is 90% Bal-Sagoth, 10% Ensiferum
wow this is fantastic ! ensiferum !!
I remember walking back and forth to high school listening to Ensiferum and Iron. This is taking me back! Love it!
Finally jari after years of this back and forth you can now enjoy the positive feedback that you truly deserve!! ❤
Give us the April surprise, I can't sleep
Coming today! ;)
@@WintersunJari !!!!!!!
Can't wait for the time capsule - I mean... the time package 🤘
OMG, can't wait! Now I have a new must-have concert in my life before I died... 😅
You convinced me. I'm preordering the Time package in my next paycheck.
This feels like Hero in a dream, or like Iron, brings back some good memories. Thanks for sharing this, Jari, much love from Venezuela.
Amazing!! It sounds so good, surreal hearing unheard stuff in this style
One of the best things I've heard all year! That old Ensiferum feel is great!
This is very reminiscent of the Ensiferum days. What a time capsule. Love it.
So hyped for all of this. Glad I survived long enough to hear it.
This is just perfect.....!!!!!! I'm waiting the the full pack!!!!!!!! Thank you jari for the perfect music
Feeling like the first time I found out Jari Maenpaa music. So glad for this artist. Hope to see you again mate 👍 💙
That is a great start to a long weekend, this song is awesome, cant wait to hear all those hidden treasures in august. Thanks Jari.
Absolutely killer Jari! Can’t wait to hear more!!
I fuckin love it! I remember being 15 years old, listening Ensiferum - Into battle on repeat and playing Runescape and balancing life with school and my first love, and now im here again 31 years old ❤
same, still playing runescape too at 34!
It's just LEGENDARY ❤
it blows my mind how much Bal Sagoth clearly influenced Jari and Moonsorrow and nobody notices it. this song is VERY Bal Sagoth and in places is basically worship never mind just taking influence. it sounds fucking awesome
Jari you are a genius and don't even know it! Thank You for giving us such EPIC Metal
Another excellent song, my congratulations Jari for the wonderful music you compose, I have been following you for many years, congratulations
Phenomenal, Jari! Thank you so much for remastering and sharing the early demos. These tracks are like a TIME capsule between your style composing Lai Lai Hei/Little Dreamer and Land of Snow And Sorrow, we can hear them both and its a beautiful thing. Thank you so much from America, where I saw you playing TIME I in NYC!!
Thanks Wintersun, you were my top 1 group in 2022 on Spotify, I’m so glad to hear u again
Kiss from France 🇫🇷 ❤
You're a legend, Jari! Can't wait for the Time Package 🤘
Thanks! 🤘
I don't know how many persons here have known Bal-Sagoth , It was british band which right now , Wintersun has become extremely like them specially with new theme of Time II but more technical , more melodic and more qualitive
this is awesome, thank you for the upload! made me pick up home recording again
Sooooo good!!! Thank you ensif...jari! I can't wait to listen all these awesome songs☺️
Rhapsody meets Ensiferum. Love it.
I'm almost as excited for the full Fantasy metal project as Time II!
Piece of masterpiece.
Thnx wintersun, thnx Jari
Jari you dropped another great song and I almost forgot to get ready for work listening to it on repeat. Well played sir🤘🏻
This feels like 3-5 songs in one. But it still works. Somehow.
Already listened this song so many times I am totally ready for you guys to play it on your next concert tour. By the gods of steel I swear I will get a massive moshpit going 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Strong Bal-Sagoth vibes 😁
Another absolute banger from the EnsiferiSun album! 🤘🤘
Jari you are a musical god! This stuff is the best i have heard in ages!
Great sound!!! I like it a lot!!!
Amazing track as always
great as always
Legendary Demo Tour? When? We need it.
Love the Bal-Sagoth influence!
These early demos are going to be fun to listen to
This is so Bal-Sagoth! Love it
riff and melody sounds like it could fit very well on the first album,i like it ❤️
Just gets better and better. Would love to hear some of these tracks live when you eventually tour! Cheers Jari.
This is what I was waiting for.. was worth it ❤
JARI You are brilliant and THIS IS AMAZING!!! I got chills listening to this :O it's epic and everything fantasy metal, gonna be one regular song on rotation in the future haha! THANKS for sharing this with us
I wish Wintersun will play some of these songs live. Very sweet Bal-Sagoth vibes. 🤗
Sounds so good ! Happy also that drums sound way better than older demos :D Waiting till august is so long daddy jari !
Sounds awesome 🤘😎🤘
I've had this song on repeat since it was uploaded. Really digging it Jari!
Glad to hear it! :)
Its so hard not to listen to these songs because you want to listen to the whole albums at once in august!!
Alright I wasn't expecting that. Really good song!
