Finland... The place where metal could be a religion. Love this song!
Spot on comment 👌 😂
I'm an Atheist, but sign me up! In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Diver...Aaaaaaaaa-mennnnn!!!🤘
It is, Max 🤩🤘🇫🇮
@@ChrisPage68 Holy Roller sits in the garden we fled...Blood into wine, take my body instead!
Indeed it is here ... 🤘🏻❤️🇫🇮
Just an hour ago 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.
It's the best answer. Kai is the world class musician and he truly know what song need.
He's such a nice guy. No ego or desire to show off. Plus he's a big Iron Maiden fan. A worthy replacement for Jukka.
If you have'nt seen the playthrough on sons of winter and stars, at Extreme drummers universe where you REALLY see his potential 🤗🤗🤗🤗
A must see, allthough it is recorded with a phone, but you get the vibes tho 😄
Ain't it a bit like you asked a multitalent singer (like Floor) : Why don't you growl like you can whilst singing Ave Maria? :) (I so love all those people. So down to earth and sooooo talented.)
Kai is a consummate professional.
Jari the singer had parts of his lung removed due to tuberculosis. Makes his vocal talent that much more impressive \M/
I had no idea until someone said that in the live chat. INSANE!
Try Ensiferum - Tokem of Time
@@ortti8397 yes pls!!
@@TankTheTech Lost 25% of his lungs @ age ~18..
What? Oh no. Oh my Godness.
Next up!! WinterSun “Time” from the same studio performance!!
And ........... Land of snow and sorrow studio ...... great song too
And... wintersun - loneliness, after listen to "Time"
Paul Retzbach Agreed!
Time is the way to go 😍
Time is ear candy.
In Finland we have this thing called metal.
Insomnium
Amorphis
Wolfheart
Omnium Gatherum
Moonsorrow
Swallow the Sun
and many many more. Welcome!
medeia, indistinct, assemble the chariots...
Don't forget good old Children of Bodom
KALMAH ! ?? best melodeath
Wolfheart ♥
Mors Principium Est
Speaking as an American who loves Metallica and Pantera, Europe has been making the best metal for quite some time. In my humble opinion. Great reaction.
Couldn't agree with you more!
Yeah you can't even compare Metallica and Pantera to greatness like Wintersun.
I keep telling people who knows am a metalhead the same thing, they ask me if I listen to Slayer or Metallica and I mean, I occasionally listen to those bands but my thing is the European metal for a long time, the USA fell behind long time ago when it comes to metal, there are some exceptions but we don't have a Wintersun, a Nightwish or a Gojira type of band. Sweden, Finland, Norway and Germany are ahead now.
@@diocollins2379 I can only think of a few American bands I like. Symphony X, Nekrogoblikon, Tool.
Don't get me wrong, I love the old school American death metal bands like Morbid Angel, Death, and Obituary. But those were never bands I could listen to every day.
Why should anyone give u flak for liking this better than NW? Tastes are personal and you still appreciate the musicianship of both so respect where its due. All good imo :)
Usually not a fan of harsh vocals but this is so damn good. And Kai.... what a machine
Sorry I´m drunk, but Jukka was good drummer as well? Kai Replaced him. Funny thing about HIM...
Because some Nightwish fans are over the top rabid to the point of delusion……. As Tank has just unfortunately discovered by daring to make a video criticizing something about NW approach to reaction videos…..
He still is. Kai is enganged in two bands. Just as Marko from Nightwish....
I love both bands dearly. Nightwish wins me with elaborate wordcraft and masterfully created ensenbles and songwriting, Wintersun wins me with the powerful, ferocious energy that somehow makes me long after something I cannot quite define. Both bands make me cry at times (Shoemaker from Nightwish and this very song from Wintersun). Both are equal to me. Equally masterful in their own ways.
+ Kai has been playing with bands like swallow the sun.
I'm just hoping for a collaboration between both bands.
Just imagine Floor growling with these guys.
And the two genious minds of Tuomas and Jari.
Well said man. I feel exactly the same.
Be sure you’re in for a ride!
As a drummer myself.... the drums are from another planet....💥
Dude, my arms woulda fell off half way through the song xD
Kai is also a drum teacher - and a major Jazzhead, which feeds into the intricacies of his drum patterns.
That's awesome. I'd definitely pay for lessons from him. Haha
@@TankTheTech He's available... 😉
@@TankTheTech This spring, when Nightwish couldn’t go on tour, Kai has taken students again for a long time. He put an open notice on Facebook in the spring, either one weekend (2 days) or two days on weekdays. I understand Kai hasn't had a lot of free weekends since ...
Also Teemu (and Asim, not in the video as he joined later) are giving guitar lessons via skype. Actually, Teemu was Asim's guitar teacher at some point before he joined the band ;)
@@TankTheTech Kai posted a new ad on Facebook right now on Thursday. He has a few free weekends in October and some free days in September-October. He tries to get drum students for those times. I don’t know how much he charges for two days but it also includes accommodation and food! If I were a drummer, I would take such an opportunity right away !!!
There must be something in the water here in Finland...or the beer😆🤘. So many great musicians and metalbands.
yes and in the netherlands too both home of great metal band finland and netherlands
@@patrickbakker77 good beer too,in netherlands...;)
@@petrinykanen6663 yes in finland they have good beer too i think love too try them and in elguim and germany good beers too. and nigthwish big fan for 20 years afther forever longer floor fist band as you know and epica within temptation and delian all dutch and the band the gathering saw floor on pinkpop fastifal in 1996 with strange machines great song also dutch metal make that floor want to sing in a metalband so she jiond afther forever thay play in amsterdam hieneken music hall in 2002 or 2003 in the warm up band for nigthwish i was there was grat eveing
I'm inclined to think, did a lot of our 80's Deth Metal players all move to Finland during the late 90's when grunge creeped in and took over here in America?
Finnish beer isn't this good! 😁
Kai is definitely a human metronome
Kai can't be human...
For those who insist on compairing Kai with Nightwish's former drummer Jukka - You have to read Kai in a different way, Jukka was the showman while Kai is more conservative in how he moves around. But look at Kai's face, have you ever seen someone looking so happy when he is banging on everything he has? And the more complicated and intricate it is, the more he smiles and look even happier.
He is as exact as an atomic clock. Snoop around a bit here on YT Tank, you can find a fairly good number of drum cam videos with Kai.
Cheers / B.
@@mbo191 Kai is also very trained in the trajectories of drumming to be able to do stuff efficiently, with presicion and endurance. Especially with the speedier parts, stuff like that becomes crucial.
Kai is a weapon.
@@sauliruottu5871 I guess having played in a grindcore band, for what like ten years, helps. :D
Did you know, that we even have a church fairs with heavymetal here in FINLAND🤘🤘
That is amazing! Hahaha 🤘🤘🤘
This was one of the first "harder" metal songs i heard and i was instantly in love with it, i listened to Blind Guardian and Metallica in school when i drifted into the rock/metal crowd and they introduced me to metal. Good times. I can appreciate the beauty in all genres because if you only listen to one genre you miss so much in life. Every music has its place, every mood has its music. I listen to everything that is good doesnt matter if it is electronic, edm, harder techno/drum n bass, 80s rock (my favorite, 80s music in general) even rap sometimes when it is a good song. And i love classical music too. Greetings from Germany!
Great news everyone,Jari released a statement,Kai is still in Wintersun 🤘 I suspect he will be on the new album!
🤘🤘🤘
Best news! 😍
I'm so fucking ready! There's no bad album nor a bad Wintersun song and fortunately Kai has been the drummer in the band live and on recordings what immediately means that a new album is guaranteed to be an epic record!
Let's take some more Finnish stuff: Amorphis - The Bee (official lyric video). That guy has the best growls I've ever heard. A band that I have always wanted to like but the latest album got hook soooo badly :P
Definitely gonna get to some Amorphis soon!
Agreed 👍🏼🤘🏼
Yes, please! The Bee, Death of a King and the less heavy Amongst Stars with the lovely guest singer Anneke van Giersbergen. Amorphis is yet another band with their own distinctive sound. Listen and enjoy ❤
Eulaalia10, I've never been a fan of Death of a King but another great songs are Daughter of Hate, Heart of a Giant, Message in Amber, We Accursed and older ones: Castaway, Drowned Maid.
Then listen to "My kantele"
In 2021, Wintersun and Nightwish are almost merged lol. NW has their whole rhythm section now.
I think I've listened to this song 3-4 times today (aaaand it never gets old) by different reaction youtube channels. A couple voice coachs, and a former cinema composer who picked apart all the fine orchestral nuances and said their music was cinema worthy. And now this channel, just because I absolutly 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 phenominally flawless. And wonderful Kai.. blast beats for days! These channels focus mainly on analysing the beauty of the music itself, yet they are missing out on the incredibly talented lyrical content...the choir and operatic elements. 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 beautifully epic songs you will ever hear in metal.
Wintersun is an approved and accepted alternative favourite band to Nightwish! I can’t see anyone disagreeing here.
2 more songs from that same studio sessions:
- Time
- Land of Winter and Sorrow
+ otherwise Loneliness.
Jari (the singer-songwriter) got some injury to his hand, he can't play that well anymore, or at least he wouldn't be able to sing at the same time. So now he just sings, and they got a new guitarist to play his parts, 1st non-Finn in the group. I'm not sure who plays the drums when Kai can't participate, is it a back track. Many parts of this song, like the orchestra, and the choir were a back track, and Jari has made it (mostly?). This band started as his private dream, then he got some other players along, and this particular song he had worked on long - it's like his perfectionist dream - could you imagine :)
Jari played and sang earlier in a band called Ensiferum, you may start with Lai Lai Hei (said like Ly Ly hey - compare how you say Kai Hahto). Finnish spelling is like every letter has the same value no matter where it appears in a word - ng is the exception, it's like ng in sing, only double long: namely letters written double, are double long.
So far I haven't seen any good recordings from their concerts, the sound quality doesn't reach close to this level. I don't know if devoted fans can send you links to good concert videos.
They have had several drummers but mostly they stick to Saari Heikki from Finntroll, not easy to find a drummer which can keep up with Kai, but he for sure can ;)
If don't mind a bit crappily mixed or mastered (or both) studio version, I recommend to check out Winter Madness. In my opinion face-melting on par with the Through Fire And Flames solo.
@@cedox Yeah, heard the Seasons. You could suggest that straight to Roadie, and so everybody sees quickly what's been suggested.
Rolf Pilve on drums methinks. Which brings us neatly to SMACKBOUND. 😁
As a finn, metalhead and musician, I really enjoyed this reaction. There's plenty of good Finnish metal out there. Keep up the great work!
🤘🤘🤘
waiting for an Impaled Nazarene reaction 😉🤘
I was sent by Odin to click 👍 before even watching the premiere.
🤘🤘🤘 Hail Odin!
Fun fact, Jari used to be the singer of Ensiferum before Petri Lindroos was. Ensiferum being another legendary band from Finland. This man is pure talent.
hes also kind of a crazy person who wants to put out 1 album every 5 years of 4 15 minute songs lol. dude fucking rules but you can see how he would not be long for a band that wants to tour and release more material. glad he can keep making amazing shit like this for us.
he was also the 2nd vocalist of a black metal band called artemesia
This is what you get when you combine long time veterans of top row Finnish metal bands, all these guys are good as hell and even more, every single one of them.
It's going to be a tough one with Wintersun and Nightwish. Jari and Tuomas are both musical geniuses and both a bit insane.
Great reaction again! Wintersun is amazing!
Insomnium - While We Sleep would be great to see you react to that. Finnish melodic death metal.
Insomnium is a must! Another great finnish band is, Bloodred HourGlass. Start with - Waves of Black.
you should check Kai Hahto drumcam of this song, makes it even more impressive :)
I had the pleasure of seeing Wintersun live before the pandemic. They're incredibly precise playing live (even without Kai). I don't know the name of the other drummer but he killed it. Maybe the best live metal performance I've seen.
"This is world class metal!" You are damn right, dude! Great to see you rocking on!!!!
Finland: the home of epic metal madness.💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
Yaaay! Thanks for picking up my suggestion! (Or whoever else's suggestion this was). First time I'm setting up a UA-cam reminder, this is going to be a ride 😂
If you have not heard them already, add Insomnium to your list
Yes please!!! "While we sleep" is probably the most popular, but the full potential of the song is prepared for by the opening track from the album Shadows of a Dying Sun, "The Primeval Dark", those two go so well together! There is not a single song on that album which isn't worth to check out...and they don't have just one album ;)
@@brothernemiel6465 That album is so insanely good its not even funny! Black Heart Rebellion!
Yess they are in my top 3. Drawn to Black needs to be start being appreciated more!
And that is why they say that when he plays with Nightwish he is in vacation...
😀😀😀👌🏼
Dude. The level of perfection they achieved is f***** unbelievable. I saw them playing in San Francisco, and I was speechless the whole concert.
I firmly believe the only thing that could make this song an even more spiritual experience would be to witness it in a live setting. Truly one of the most mesmerizing pieces of music I have ever heard.
Helt jävla otroligt bra musik,perfektionister som är så samtspelta att en en perfektionist blir avundsjuk.Detta är ett av det absolut bästa jag hört någonsin.Jag älskar Wintersun.Hans Carlsson.
The lead singer, Jari, also fronted the band Ensiferum before founding Wintersun. Dunno what they have in Finland, but it seems that Finnish drummers are all BEASTS.
Loved every second!
Don't worry I'm late to the party too. Found Wintersun some time last year, and I recommend you check out "Winter Madness" by them. It has probably the most insane metal guitar solo in my opinion, oddly has classical influences. Never in my wildest dreams would I be able to play it let alone come up with it. Blew me away. And i'm pretty sure 90% of the song is blast beats too lol.
This channel is basically you listening to all my favorite bands, and getting visibly excited and happy in the process. I love it!
Kai uses custom Balbex Kai Hahto model hickory sticks,at least in Nightwish. I've seen him twice with Wintersun and six times with NW, he is a God amongst men 🤘💜🤘
You're not late to the party, it is still going on!
Hahaha! Well put!
Dude, you gotta do Time next. The Sonic Pump Studio version is amazeballs. Time is a metal masterpiece.
So many recommendations for that one. Definitely gonna check it out!
@@TankTheTech Honestly all of their songs are really good and worth a listen. I'm looking forward to future Wintersun reactions. Dig your channel, dude. Keep up the good work!
Easily one of my fav reaction video of all time. So glad to see someone seeing a band that me personally been enjoying for 20yrs and absolutely loving it. I watch this reaction once in a while to remind me what music is really about, making ppl feel. Ty Tank!
Exactly. This video brings me back to a time when I was in a Halloween party and someone put Winter Madness playing in the background. This was somewhere around 2006.. I had to stop everything and find out what this awesome band was. These kind of moments we remember forever, I think.
Got one of Kai’s drumsticks which he handed to me directly at this small gig here in my city. To this day it’s still my most prized concert possession.
Been watching this reaction four or five times now. Makes me so happy to see someone feeling exactly the same way as I do when listing to this song: Feeling pure joy, smiling the whole song, headbanging or just the occasional look when you just don't believe your ears and eyes. And you even notice, when the headbanging does not work because of an increadible change of rythym. Very cool. This song and performance is pure art and musicianship. Thanx, Tank - you made my day!
🤘🤘🤘
The founder of Wintersun, Jari Mäenpää used to play in a band called Ensiferum which I can recommend you to look in to if you like folk metal/melodic deathmetal.
Welcome to the world of Finnish metal! I would call myself very fortunate, because when I was a youngling, I saw this band live with this exact composition @ Tuska 2005. I was a fan for a few years prior, but seeing them live was easily the highlight of the whole festival, out of all 25'ish bands that I saw. What a bunch of incredible musicians.
Is nice to see a reaction from someone who appreciates the musicianship of a band like Wintersun, so underated.
Always a pleasure to watch someone enjoy the song that might be my alltime favourite. I have listened this dozens and dozens of times and is still not getting bored a bit :D
Wooh! Hope you’re OK after that one, these guys are insane.
My neck still hurts today from headbanging. Hahahaha
@@TankTheTech that's the only way to do it. My neck has never recovered from all the headbanging I did in my early twenties some 10+ years ago :)
Should we take a shot for every time you say 'Wow' or 'Oh my god' in this video? Everyone's gonna get plastered before the premiere ends. It's still early, I'm gonna go for shots of caffeine then 😁
If I remember right, yes, you will all be hammered if you do that. Hahaha
If I wasn't working, I do this. 🤣
i was thinking that myself! :-)
You will be blown away! I promise! So looking forward to it!! 🤘🏻
Two things.
First; I've watched this reaction about.. 20 times by now and I want to DEEPLY thank you Tank! I've never been a huge fan of Wintersun or their genre of music in general, known about the band for years though. And NOW it is really getting to me.. 😳 So thank you, I'd have probably missed a real gem if I wasn't following your channel!
Second; I have never seen anyone look that happy and that diabolical at the same time as Jari does while he's singing. I think I'm in love..🤨
I knew wintersun since the very beginning. And soon after their first album which is also great btw, they announced that the second album would be called time. And then they made me wait fir 8 freaking years. But this song allone made it worth the wait.such an masterpiece of a song
Hey Tank, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱. I’ve been following your channel about a month since you started it. I’ve seen a bunch of Reaction Channels and yours is by far the best one out there... besides getting to see bands I haven’t heard of before, the Tank facts and in depth roadie knowledge you bring, really make your channel stand out. Hope you keep this going.
And this reaction video is one of my favorites. Just out of this world musicianship
Thank you so much!
I wish I could add 1000 likes to this. Sooooo happy you liked this!! If there were only 1 song I could listen to for the rest of my life, this is the one.
Dude, it's for sure up there for me too. I've been listening to it non-stop since I did this video.
You really have a way to make ppl hype for a reaction video 😂
Hahahahaha! I’ll take that as a compliment. 🤘
I've seen a lot of Reactors gush about various songs, but you're the first to give a heartfelt "Thank you". Very cool, bro!!
Thanks man! I truly mean it. I love doing this, I love the suggestions, and I love that you guys actually take the time to watch.
Blown away. Not a fan of the growling usually but their mix of vocal styles takes this over the top. And oh hell the musical talent from all members is awe inspiring. Can see more wintersun in my future. Thanks for the introduction
I think we finns are ready to adopt you now 🤘
Cheers!
I'd live in Finland in a second. Haha
If you liked wintersun i suggest some ensiferum. Jari the singer of wintersun was part of ensiferum.
A bit different but you can definetely hear he wrote that stuff. Songs are into battle, token of time or lai lai hei
Great reaction as always :)
If You love this song - you woould love Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado 2016. Fun fact - this song is part of the Australian conservatory curriculum.
DEFINITELY doing Ne Obliviscaris soon.
@@TankTheTech You will not be disappointed.
@@rbenn5 Hear, hear!
Yeah... you should do this one. Live!
I saw them live in Greensboro, NC in 2018 the night same Hurricane Florence hit -- my buddy I was going to go with had to cancel because he had to go evacuate his in-laws from Fayetteville before it flooded. They put on an epic fucking live show in that converted warehouse they played.
You should also check out the opening act from that tour, Ne Obliviscaris. They're a progressive extreme metal band from Melbourne, Australia. They have a playthrough video for their song "Curator" that would work well.
These guys are incredible
To really understand the skills of Kai Hahto being the human metronome, see this:
ua-cam.com/video/xGc9JNP7F4w/v-deo.html
Basically, Kai didn't hear the first click after a pause in the middle of the song during a Nightwish gig and the whole band started off-sync with the background track. Kai figured it out and come up with a plan to fix the problem without interrupting the song. He played a custom 5/8 fill compared to original version to bring the band back into sync. (The song was Nightwish: Dark Chest of Wonders, last gig of the world tour in 2015.)
Think about that, he was able to notice the problem, compute the time difference needed and come up with a custom fill to fix the problem in time before the chorus which would make the problem really audible. And all that while playing with the band live!
You'd prob. like "Time" from the same live-studio rehearsal.
Greetings (again) from Norway..!
Love your reactions to all this epic music. These Finns rule, dude..!
Stay safe and stay cool, man..!
Thanks a ton, man!
Wintersun 🙌🇫🇮 Thank you Tank! Great to see your reactions and your smiling eyes!🤘
Your most welcome mate! As a metal man you’ve probably heard eluveitie? I bumped into their song called king which really show cases the range of instruments they utilise. However upon further research I discovered their song rebirth which blew my brains out. From one metal man to another thank you for sharing my passion of good quality music :)
Love Eluveitie, but I haven't heard a TON of their stuff. Don't think I've heard King, so maybe I'll check it out!
TankTheTech I’m not sure how much of a reaction crowd you’ll draw but none the less I have no doubt it will be an absolute pleasure for your ears! :)
this makes me happy. this is rare. this is pure. this makes a monster with a deamon inside calm.
Oh nooooo. Now I have to see ALL the Wintersun videos. Nightwish and Floor already took up a lot of my spare time😀
Я безумно обожаю Wintersun и твоя такая клёвая эмоциональная реакция на эту гениальную композицию так радует меня! Они действительно великолепны и несравненны!
Винтерсан круто
Kai Hahto on drums, good Lord 👊. He is phenomenal, like metronome.
No single mistake and does not miss a beat 🤘👊🇫🇮.
And yes, this band comes from Finland 🇫🇮. Kai Hahto is now a permanent member in Nightwish.
Thanks a lot for yr great reaction
'Oh god I want to rock but I wanna watch this' 😆 With this masterpiece, one absolutely has to keep the pie-hole shut and just listen and enjoy (and watch) every second of it 👍
Still at my 20’th time watching this reaction to the best band ever, i still love it ! Hail to the Falkyrie! Hail Odin! 🇳🇴👌🏼😊😊 Your reactions and videoes are the best man!!
Wintersun started of with just Jari Mäenpää (the guitar and main vocalist). He is an multi-instrumentalist who started of as the guitarist for Ensiferum.
The first Wintersun album is done all by him (guitar, bass, keys, vocals) except for the drums, where he used a drummachine.
That machine was Kai \m/
Latest album's drums are programmed.
This is pure talent with passion at its best! Shieldmaiden from Norway here :) Love my neighbour countries!!! We all know our metal :) And i really enjoy your channel! And wow! I also have a tattoo on me with the song title : Take this life» by In flames!! Woop woop! No i will not reveal where ;) 😁🤘🏼☮️🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 Wintersun is amazing!!
Nightwish and Wintersun. ❤️ My favourite bands. Keep em coming Tank. 🤟 Greetings from Finland. 🇫🇮
🇫🇮 🤘🤘🤘
This is going to be interesting to see. I love this song and im very exited to see what you think of it.
So now, after having watched your reaction- you're welcome 😂😂. I've been bothering Chase with comments under his videos to make him do this one, but that wasn't successful 😆. Wintersun is very different from Nightwish, just a different type of masterpiece music writing. While Nightwish is my "happy mood" music, Wintersun speaks to my darker side. If you check out Amorphis ("Amongst Stars" is a bit more commercial one with Anneke van Ginsberg as a guest, so maybe check out "The Bee" lyric video), that will be my 3 favorite bands 😃. All from 🇫🇮 🇫🇮
Chase said he already reacted to this as well and will post it soon, most likely Sunday. 🤘 And Amorphis is definitely another one I need to get into.
@@TankTheTech Yes definitely start with The Bee official lyric video, and not any live one because the studio version is superior. Amongst Stars is a great song too but might give a wrong impression about Amorphis.
I have been bugging Chase also with this one 😁
awesome reaction ... welcome to the world of Wintersun
I am a Metalhead for more than two decades; and I am thankful for being able to experience the songs of fantastic bands such as dt, Nightwish, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Insomnium, Dimmu and tons of others .... but man, Wintersun is just something else!
the only problem is that they are active since 2003-2004 and released only three album! there will be TIME II album somewhere in time but no one knows when lol
Not sure if you know, this (Kai) is the current Nightwish drummer.
Yup! Saw that in the comments earlier, and my Nightwish reaction releasing Wednesday is the first time I’ve actually seen him play with Nightwish. 🤘
Also former drummer of Rotten Sound😌
No idea how I missed seeing this until now - thought I'd gone back and seen all the reactions done before I found this channel last autumn.
Thank you UA-cam recommends for actually working for a change.
More singers in please
What an awesome performance. I'm no musician but jeez, how many bpm was kai getting out of that kit.
this singer Jari did 1st album Ensiferum here "Ensiferum (Nosturi 2003) (With Jari)", and this Kay Hahto drummer is now playing with "Nightwish - Ghost Love Score Live at Tampere"
... only drum video thereto: "Kai Hahto (Nightwish) Drumcam 'Ghost Love Score' ( Espoo/Finland/13.11.2015)"
There are many masterpieces in this world but Wintersun... Its just... It makes me too happy and smiling like little kid in candy store😊🍭. And to me, this is better than Nightwish and touches deeply my soul 🤘
Thanks reacting to this man 🤘😎🤘
As you can see, this is a new comment, although I saw your reaction a long time ago...... I actually have it on my hard drive too. I've just watched your reaction again, and I must say.... bearing in mind I've watched thousands of reactions, Tank, your reaction to this is by far the best reaction I've ever seen to any genre!
There are two more songs by Wintersun recorded in the same session in the studio, 'Time' and 'Land of Snow and Sorrow'. Both masterpieces 👌#nothingbeatsfinnishmetal
I've had a lot of comments for Time, so I'll do that one soon as well!
Watching you watch this is so much fun! Thank you!
old school In Flames \m/ Love those guys! funny fact. some of the older Insomnium songs sounds almost identical to old In Flames in guitar tone. Pretty cool ;)
Hey man just want to congratulate you for your work and thank you for the honest reactions! I really had the exact same reactions you had while hearing Wintersun for the first time (in my case when I was 18) (I'm 31 now)... It change my mind about everything I've ever heard (even knowing other great bands like Rush, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Queen, Pink Floyd...). All the newer great bands I was lucky to know back then were practically forgotten during the time their first cd lasts... I felt blown away (I also play drums)...
Good vibes from Mexico!
"The symphony of tight lines.." 💪👍 Greetings from 🇫🇮
I love how much you get into it, Iv'e never smiled so much watching a reaction video! This has to be one of the best songs that exists! 🤘🤘
Wintersun's first album will forever be my favourite album of all time.
If you have the time to do so, give their self-titled album a listen, the blend between the almost blackened-ish folk metal and soaring fantasy based melodies and harmonies is just an entire experience.
It also blows my mind that Jari is also only singing with 75%ish of his lungs after having to remove a piece due to tuberculosis.
If you dig this style like I do, I suggest you check out the song The Magician by the band Aether Realm.
They're very influenced by Wintersun and incredibly talented aswell.
EDIT: I swear you're one of the most enthusiastic and genuine reacters I've ever seen. Had a rough few weeks and seeing you geek out like I did when I first found them put a giant smile on my face. Never change my guy, you're awesome.
I just found out about Jari's lung issue, and that makes it even more impressive! And thank you so much for those kind words. Much appreciated!
I think Wintersun has grown as the best band for my point of view. I really like how versatile their music is.
Jari Mäenpää is mastermind behind the band. Jari was playing in Ensiferum and he had to leave the band due the time he wanted to put in Wintersun. He composes everything. Other wizards are Teemu Mäntysaari (guitar and backing vocals), Jukka Koskinen (bass and backing vocals) and of course Kai Hahto in drums. Jari stopped playing guitar and they hired Asim Searah to play guitar.
There are two more songs from same rehearsals Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow from Time 1 album.
Forest Seasons album contains four songs: Awaken From The Dark Slumber (spring), Forest That Weeps (summer), Eternal Darkness (autumn, which is awesome black metal song) and Loneliness (winter).
First album Wintersun has awesome songs like Death And Healing, Starchild, Winter Madness, etc.
Watching this a year after you did, after I just discovered Wintersun this week, they and Nightwish are different rabbit holes. Nightwish have risen in my opinion to one of my top 5 bands of all time, and I’m a Zeppelin, Floyd, Tool guy….. But this song….. it is in a different animal. I heard it like 5 days ago and I kind of thought it was pretty cool but too raw - I’m not generally a fan of overriding harsh vocals. But the fucking song won’t get out of my brain! It’s like it is perfectly constructed. It is fucking epic!!
the case when you don't want the song to end. You enjoy every minute of the composition, it is immortal and really makes you happy every time you listen. Thanks for your reaction, I was likewise amazed by the amazing musicians and their imagination :)
Only you could do this song justice, with a great metal reaction, thank you
Very good reaction dude. Please do more wintersun
The guy is a perfectionist and took 11 years think it was between albums ~ song Beautiful Death is my favorite
Btw, Jari has stopped playing guitar during liveshows nowdays just so he can reduce the strain of the shows. Apparently between singing with reduced lung capacity and lugging around guitar he was feeling quite beaten down after gigs. They have now a new guitarist to take care of the Jaris parts.
Aside the two remaining Sonic pump studios lives (Land of snow and Sorrow and Time), you should react to Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) from their newest Four Seasons album. It's just beautiful piece of music.
