Basically Wintersun can play almost every damn metal subgenre. I thought black was out of their reach, but Holy Shit, that was incredible :D. They can perform EVERYTHING (obviously Jari in particular). That's why they are great musicians. And I know they will never be a super big and super popular band, but for me they are in top 10 without a doubt.
I love that ending Jari :D. Powerful and very explicit. Love the way that the song ends just as quickly and unexpectedly as death itself. Completion of a perfect chaos :)
I loved how they put the ending in scene during the show I've been to. They played it as the last Song and after the "I am death" all the light went out and the venue was completely dark. Sooo good!
The thing that makes this song beautiful is the negentropy that lies inside this chaos. This song is not total chaos since we can hear beautiful order and structures
I...I don't know what to say. Absolute masterpiece. End and beginning. Chaos and perfection. Total eargasm and the final chorus is beyond words. When the song ends I always have to take about a minute to think about life... Thank you Jari for creating this, and giving it to us, mere mortals...
Wintersun - Eternal Darkness (Autumn) Official Lyric Video. THE FOREST SEASONS NOW AVAILABLE IN WINTERSUN'S OFFICIAL BANDCAMP PAGE: wintersun.bandcamp.com (with 100% profit to Wintersun after Bandcamp's 15% cut) How are you enjoying the darkness guys? :) Comment below!
Wasn't expecting to like this one as I don't usually like nor listen to black metal, but the atmosphere in this one is so tangible and epic that it has become my favorite song on the new album alongside Loneliness (Which has one of the most beautiful choruses I've ever heard).
Wasn't sure I'd like it at first, so different from your usual work. But at the same time, always had a soft spot for Black Metal, and damn, you totally nailed it ! Harmonic Epic Black Metal, fuck yeah man !
This would probably have been my favorite track on the album, if not for the dreadfully repetitive drumming during the first few minutes. I have nothing against programmed drums but you should have at least asked Kai for advice.
Wintersun lead me to the right music, or well to the music. I love classic music too and this is I think a form of it. These songs are not the ones you can listen when you go and come from work, these needs everyone to leave you alone and enjoy. It's like art in some museums in Europe. It needs time. It needs digestions. It needs knowledge.
when i bought the album... i was instantly in awe and shock. i couldn't comprehend this song. even looking back, i skipped it for a very long time. now i just can't get enough of it. to feel what occured inside of me to understand the meaning of such a powerful display at age 26. the part starting at 6:20 or so and the solo sends my soul into a totally different form of ecstasy. i feel understood.. no further words are needed at all. thanks to this melody, i can live in absolute peace in this life. thank you for such a masterpiece🙏
Damn. One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. I had goosebumps throughout the entire song, and the part that starts at 6:22 brought tears to my eyes and memories of many things and people who are no more. Just... Damn, Jari.
That first 6 minutes offers nothing to the song, other than trying to be needlessly brutal bcoz eternal darkness. 5 minutes of blasting with boring riffing is not fun.
This song is so good that it gives me goosebumps of fear. This is a song with a frightening ambiance. I almost shat myself with happiness and fright when I first heard this song.
Превосходно! В этой песне столько откровений, что только зрелый человек поймет всю ее суть и что хотел сказать народу ЯРИ, школота и универщина ничего не поймет, юность - максимализм и дурость. Музыка, вот это что то, даже не многие Блек-Металисты могут похвастаться такой Эпичной энергетикой истинного мрака и отчаяния. Вообщем Апофеоз Фолка и Дарк Метала, настоящий драгоценный алмазный альбом!
Part I Haunting Darkness Haunting darkness forming inside of man Calling to return the blood of the earth Baleful shadows gathering under the blackened sky Reversing the evolution of the forbidden birth Devastation of the hollow universe Executed by wrath and absolute power Completion of the perfect chaos The pure destruction of stars I am the immortal shadow The ruler of dark dimensions Behold my crimson nightmare I am the creator of sorrow Tormentor in the restless night I am the hunter of fear, the bringer of despair I am death I am eternal darkness Part II The Call of the Dark Dream Unleash the dark dream, the essence of deception The fantasy of life will blind you like the flaming sun The clash of the opposite worlds The cosmic war of the unnatural state has begun Embrace the suffering and prepare for transcendent attack Obliterate the memories and smother the past And face the unknown! And face the unknown! Hear the call of the final journey Hear the call! Hear the call of the dark dream Calling from across the stars of old Hear the call! Hear the call of the dark dream Part III Beyond the Infinite Universe Wandering among the stars... Searching Beyond the infinite universe Tearing down the structures But I can only see darkness Caressed by the radiant ocean Soaring high in the waves of sadness Obsessed by the deepest emotions Lost in the beautiful silence Oh the beautiful silence! Fall! Falling through the layers of mind Fall! As the world is crumbling before my eyes Falling through the caustic vortex And my heart is burning by the ultimate lie The ultimate lie! Part IV Death There is no end There is no beginning There is no truth There is only darkness And I curse you into oblivion! I curse you for fulfilling your every desire I curse you for your wild and relentless inner fire Curse you for your need to breed and multiply Curse you for your consciousness The feeble rebellion The great illusion The cosmic war I am the immortal shadow The ruler of dark dimensions Behold my crimson nightmare I am the creator of sorrow Tormentor in the restless night I am the hunter of pain, the bringer of rain I am death I am eternal darkness I am eternal I am death
I adore the guitar solo in this one....Not just for the playing, but for the placement. It's perfectly embraced by the atmosphere of the song...becoming part of it...one of the most appropriately positioned sequence in recent memory. It breaks the beautiful silence. The whole album is magnificent, but this particular moment is what i hold closest to my heart. Thank you.
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Brutal and brilliant. Damn. @WintersunJari This album is so fucking good Jari. It's what I've been waiting for since I first heard Wintersun back in 2007 (3 years after it released!) Very much enjoyed Time as well, but this work really feels like an opening of the floodgates from you and the band. Massive creativity taking place in your new studio. Wishing you all the best, thank you for working so hard and sharing your art with us. I can't wait to hear what is next, as I know the best is yet to come. Until the dark takes us all from this place I am grateful to exist in the same timeline as you. Hails from Colorado, J
I fail to get why this song is accotiated with black metal - yes, it has wall of sound crafted by drums (they sound too plastic to my ear by the way), but I can't hear dirty and raw guitar riffs, which to me is the most vital part in black metal sound. Guitars are too low in the mix, drums are way repetitive. I mean, if we take a look at new wave of black metal (Wiegedood for instance), this song has almost nothing to do with it. Don't get me wrong, huge Wintersun fun here, but in my books black metal should sound way different.
I don't know if going to the forest this autumn, taking mushrooms and putting this song on repeat in my headphones is a good or bad idea, but I really want to find out.
Within this stellar piece of musicianship, I envision twisting chaos from the universe to the earth. A mass of darkness unknown to man. A natural, but cataclysmic and destructive power which, in turn, recreates the earth.
It actually is. Time is not even complete yet, but first part was a masterpiece, self titled was a masterpiece too, but at least for me, TFS is in another level. The atmosphere, the pure anger in Eternal Darkness, the melancholy and sadness in Loneliness are just unreal. I never heard something approach to this level of expressiveness. It actually is their masterpiece.
The solo is awesome. I think the song really starts to get good right after the solo. The ryrhm riff at 9:47 reminds me of an army of undead marching forward.
This album is just amazing. All around perfect, but then again this is Wintersun, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. Each one has a well executed theme. I personally love this and winter the most, but like I said, the entire album is just perfect. Good work!
From my point of view, each piece is superior to the last on this album; my least favorite is Spring, then (in ascending order) Summer, Fall, and at the top is Winter. Fall is the angriest, the most pure Black Metal; but Winter is the definitive sorrowful, pained sound. It encapsulates its theme, Loneliness.
I think it's easily one of Jari's best songs yet. I find it very easy to appreciate and I feel bad for the ones who don't because it's too 'extreme metal' for them or whatever.
Omg what a masterpiece of song, every single song by Wintersun has been made with so much inspiration and efficiency ✨🧚🏻♀️the work behind this is just amazing! thank you so much for this Wintersun!❤️
Honestly, I was thinking this was the winter. In my mind I see a huge snow winter storm when I listen to this song. I don't know why this is autumn, but still love it. A lot.
Psycho Gaming because the autumn in Finland is more darkness than the winter. This is white and sunny and peaceful, but the autumn is horrible, the days are nights, the sun never raise. Finland weather is different than the other regions.
The Forest Seasons describe what a year in finland is like. Its hard to compare this to other parts of the world. As someone living in finland, i can tell you that every minute of the album perfectly resembles what the seasons are doing to us emotionally. The best captured one for me is Spring. Listening to Awaken from the dark Slumber in finnish spring made me cry.
I didn't understand this song at first, and particularly the cut end, and as a baguette guy, I didn't either understand the lyrics, but since I've ridden the lyrics and get the meaning, I know understand the whole song and absolutely love it, especially that ultimate scream at 13:26, the emotion gives me shills everytime.
Damn, when I first listened to this song, I didn't know or expect what's coming at me :D I was already a hardcore Wintersun fan and as I heard these brutal blastbeats covering a black metal-like progression, I thought it's not gonna be a very memorable Wintersun-song for me. First listening was with reading the lyrics simultaneously, and it was kinda too "massive" for me even though I listen to all kind of metal: black, death, symphonic, melodic etc. I couldn't "decypher" the sudden ending either, I though the file I downloaded from the IndieGoGo link was corrupted, so I though I'm gonna drop this one. But the lyrics were just too impressive, I read about the ending too and so it made a lot of sense for me in the end (and I thought to myself immediately: "damn, this is genious!") and I also wanted to understand this whole song and it just kept bugging me... and also, the "Dark Dream" guitar section was coming back forever in my mind, literally "haunting darkness". So I listened to it again and again while reading the lyrics, and it kinda made it into my favourive Wintersun songs (taking place no.1 together with Sadness and Hate, Sons of Winter and Stars, Starchild and Loneliness). And of course, my brain was literally absorbing the whole song, music and lyrics at the same time, and in a few weeks' time I was shouting out my throat at the Budapest gig in 2017 :D (this one and all other songs, of course!) This one truly is a masterpiece with a very deep interpretation of life&death as part of the cycle of life, with Death being the narrator, approaching this whole thing from the aspect of Death itself and it has some very interesting "poetic images" - if I may say - as well... lest we speak about the music itself, which is, to simply put: grandiose, impressive and massive, and very carefully composed up to the tiniest details. Not to mention the isolated Orchestration track which I often listen in itself, and when it is merged with the Vocal track... hell, it is just beautiful.
Not until now I really got to listening to this song compeletely, it was very boring even in the concert I saw but finally I managed to enjoy it! It's a good song once you listen to it a few times.
This has to be the most dismal of all Wintersun Tracks I've ever listened to and I believe I have the deepest appreciation for This band's music I'm awestruck of something I've discovered that only Wintersun has been able to enhance my transformational experiences
most Epic ending! Been a while since seen u guys live. Im a big fanboy since the start. Hope to see u once more when i actually have time to travel again.
damn....looking at the same Picture/screen in 14+min and dont really reflect over it....almost as their other videos from this album....only masterpieces can do that!!!!! and i have followed wintersun since the beginning....hope they do like the sonic pump live videos on this album,that would be brutal:!! great album alltogether,
The first time I listened I was almost in disbelief... A Wintersun song that ..I kinda hate ? Then I listened to it some more and more and I fucking dig it now. Especially the second half and those powerful ending minutes.
OHHH the beautiful SILEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENCE!
Basically Wintersun can play almost every damn metal subgenre. I thought black was out of their reach, but Holy Shit, that was incredible :D.
They can perform EVERYTHING (obviously Jari in particular). That's why they are great musicians. And I know they will never be a super big and super popular band, but for me they are in top 10 without a doubt.
optricon I can’t find that band on UA-cam bud?
@@Scaar420 Arthemesia* look for Ancestor of Magick. I love that one
@@futtbuxo Lifemocker, Jari hace el solo en esa canción. Bastante hermoso.
Favorite track from the album
Simply became a masterpiece. The feelings that this songs brings are astonishing!
I love that ending Jari :D. Powerful and very explicit. Love the way that the song ends just as quickly and unexpectedly as death itself. Completion of a perfect chaos :)
It's about damn time that somebody other than myself realized that lol... _\\m//
To be honest, I thought my vinyl player fucked up the first time
I loved how they put the ending in scene during the show I've been to. They played it as the last Song and after the "I am death" all the light went out and the venue was completely dark. Sooo good!
Same here. I was confused the first time.
Yeah but on the other hand, I think I'd love it more if it ended abruptly like it does, but would have a tiny, silent continuum to "Loneliness"
The thing that makes this song beautiful is the negentropy that lies inside this chaos. This song is not total chaos since we can hear beautiful order and structures
I...I don't know what to say. Absolute masterpiece. End and beginning. Chaos and perfection. Total eargasm and the final chorus is beyond words. When the song ends I always have to take about a minute to think about life... Thank you Jari for creating this, and giving it to us, mere mortals...
Fantasztikus zenészek♥️
szataniszt muzika e vagy mien?
I simply love the part at the end where Death curses all of humanity. So powerful. Just brilliant
This is probably the most polarizing song on the new album. Those that like it, absolutely love it and those that don't, hate it
One of the most badass songs ever written, AND THAT FUCKING SOLO \m/ 10/10
And that fuckin' abrupt ending!!

Jari, we need another video-studio session like TIME I :)
i can´t stop to listening The Forest Seasons... great great job!!
This would probably have been my favorite track on the album, if not for the dreadfully repetitive drumming during the first few minutes. I have nothing against programmed drums but you should have at least asked Kai for advice.
10:49 Falling... This is why I love wintersun so much. You cannot get enough of that hidden organ that gives you chills.
Wintersun lead me to the right music, or well to the music. I love classic music too and this is I think a form of it. These songs are not the ones you can listen when you go and come from work, these needs everyone to leave you alone and enjoy. It's like art in some museums in Europe. It needs time.

Only Wintersun can make me feel scared with music and at the same time give me 14 minute long goosies which keep increasing throughout the song. ❤❤
This is the song that I was looking forward to and I think it is definitely the best. The guitar solo is insane!
Damn. One of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. I had goosebumps throughout the entire song, and the part that starts at 6:22 brought tears to my eyes and memories of many things and people who are no more. Just... Damn, Jari.
Everything after the 6:22 mark is absolutely amazing.
OOHHH THE BEAUTIFUL SILEEEEEEEEENNNCEEEEE

@@msum23dude stop hating 🤡
@martsum398 dude nobody asked so shut up and go outside
from 10:30 this songs gets another level of pure epic dark majesty
4...
One of my fav guitar solos ever. Absolutely hauntingly beautiful.
The whole track is such a powerful masterpiece.
Listening to this song I feel like I'm watching a wave of magic and fire spread decimation across the cosmos
This song is so good that it gives me goosebumps of fear. This is a song with a frightening ambiance. I almost shat myself with happiness and fright when I first heard this song.
What by all gods is happening?! Eluveitie releasing new album and Wintersun, too?!!!!
Gods must be rewarding us for staying true to metal!
Whole song is great, and damn each time 10:50 comes, I just prepare myself mentally, just pure rage and hatred...

Autumn is here... Dark Finland
Very old school black metal, very different and unique for wintersun!
cant stop listening
Favorite track of the album hands down.
Best song on an already incredible album. You're the fucking man, Jari.
can feel the Dissection epic darkness all through this....love this one
Part I Haunting Darkness
Haunting darkness forming inside of man
Calling to return the blood of the earth
Baleful shadows gathering under the blackened sky
Reversing the evolution of the forbidden birth
Devastation of the hollow universe
Executed by wrath and absolute power
Completion of the perfect chaos
The pure destruction of stars
I am the immortal shadow
The ruler of dark dimensions
Behold my crimson nightmare
I am the creator of sorrow
Tormentor in the restless night
I am the hunter of fear, the bringer of despair
I am death
I am eternal darkness
Part II The Call of the Dark Dream
Unleash the dark dream, the essence of deception
The fantasy of life will blind you like the flaming sun
The clash of the opposite worlds
The cosmic war of the unnatural state has begun
Embrace the suffering and prepare for transcendent attack
Obliterate the memories and smother the past
And face the unknown! And face the unknown!
Hear the call of the final journey
Hear the call!
Hear the call of the dark dream
Calling from across the stars of old
Hear the call!
Hear the call of the dark dream
Part III Beyond the Infinite Universe
Wandering among the stars... Searching
Beyond the infinite universe
Tearing down the structures
But I can only see darkness
Caressed by the radiant ocean
Soaring high in the waves of sadness
Obsessed by the deepest emotions
Lost in the beautiful silence
Oh the beautiful silence!
Fall!
Falling through the layers of mind
Fall!
As the world is crumbling before my eyes
Falling through the caustic vortex
And my heart is burning by the ultimate lie
The ultimate lie!
Part IV Death
There is no end
There is no beginning
There is no truth
There is only darkness
And I curse you into oblivion!
I curse you for fulfilling your every desire
I curse you for your wild and relentless inner fire
Curse you for your need to breed and multiply
Curse you for your consciousness
The feeble rebellion
The great illusion
The cosmic war
I am the immortal shadow
The ruler of dark dimensions
Behold my crimson nightmare
I am the creator of sorrow
Tormentor in the restless night
I am the hunter of pain, the bringer of rain
I am death
I am eternal darkness
I am eternal
I am death
I adore the guitar solo in this one....Not just for the playing, but for the placement. It's perfectly embraced by the atmosphere of the song...becoming part of it...one of the most appropriately positioned sequence in recent memory. It breaks the beautiful silence.

How come that this song has the smallest number of views. I thought it was the most popular song on TFS alongside Loneliness.
Fucking love this track! As a bm lover I kinda wish Jari would make an album in this style..
Skolmr He did many years ago when he was in the band Arthemesia. If you haven't heard their album Devs Iratvs, I highly recommend checking it out.
I fail to get why this song is accotiated with black metal - yes, it has wall of sound crafted by drums (they sound too plastic to my ear by the way), but I can't hear dirty and raw guitar riffs, which to me is the most vital part in black metal sound. Guitars are too low in the mix, drums are way repetitive. I mean, if we take a look at new wave of black metal (Wiegedood for instance), this song has almost nothing to do with it. Don't get me wrong, huge Wintersun fun here, but in my books black metal should sound way different.
@@TrulyStucker yeah, sound is not the most black metal sound ever, but the vibe and vocals is very black metal for me.
If you're a BM lover it's bizarre that you would like this awful, sad excuse of black metal.
@@TrulyStuckereverything you said was bs 🙄
I don't know if going to the forest this autumn, taking mushrooms and putting this song on repeat in my headphones is a good or bad idea, but I really want to find out.
reminds me to dimmu borgir, summoning, dissection, emperor, and some symphonic folk/atmospheric black metal band at same time
Yeah, I was expecting symphonic death metal but got this instead. And it was better.
I have noticed some cradle of filth vibes on this album.
Within this stellar piece of musicianship, I envision twisting chaos from the universe to the earth. A mass of darkness unknown to man. A natural, but cataclysmic and destructive power which, in turn, recreates the earth.
this album is his masterpiece
@(ChildrenOfBlueMoon) whats so fucking funny!!!!!
jk i dont care
It actually is. Time is not even complete yet, but first part was a masterpiece, self titled was a masterpiece too, but at least for me, TFS is in another level. The atmosphere, the pure anger in Eternal Darkness, the melancholy and sadness in Loneliness are just unreal. I never heard something approach to this level of expressiveness. It actually is their masterpiece.
One of the very best wintersun songs right beside sleeping stars, death and the healing and time. WOW!
The solo is awesome. I think the song really starts to get good right after the solo. The ryrhm riff at 9:47 reminds me of an army of undead marching forward.
This album is just amazing. All around perfect, but then again this is Wintersun, so it shouldn't come as a surprise. Each one has a well executed theme. I personally love this and winter the most, but like I said, the entire album is just perfect. Good work!
This is the money shot of the album. For me at least.
for shure!
From my point of view, each piece is superior to the last on this album; my least favorite is Spring, then (in ascending order) Summer, Fall, and at the top is Winter.
Fall is the angriest, the most pure Black Metal; but Winter is the definitive sorrowful, pained sound. It encapsulates its theme, Loneliness.
Spring and Winter are my favourites on this album
you clearly don't know what that is in the first place
Im the creator of sorrow ,tormentor in the restless night!!!
theantarex behold!!!
urban pegan My crimson NIGHTMARE!!
Another masterpiece.
such a powerful song, it flattens me.
Best song from Wintersun, and also best song from Jari too !!!!
So much Dissection in this song. Even in lyrics.
To apreciate this song you must understand the whole concept, its not that easy but once you do it, even the final cut is fucking epic
Nefarianos agree
I think it's easily one of Jari's best songs yet. I find it very easy to appreciate and I feel bad for the ones who don't because it's too 'extreme metal' for them or whatever.
wow, you must've been blown away by the intellectualism of rick & morty too
Now this is some good fucking shit. Instant top 3 Wintersun song I've ever heard if not the best.
I absolutely love the production of this album. It’s not as massive as Time 1, but is such a pleasure to listen to.
9:04 is absolutely magic. Pure Alchemy !
Greetings and salutations, my peers. Jari Maenpaa is present.
My favorite track of the album!
Hi Jari, guys here.
You know that's not Jari right?
Amy F It says "guys here"
Yeah, I know. I'm referring to the comment above mine :)
Could be another Jari :-)
Jari's not here man...
This track is absolutely gorgeous. The black metal part rocks!
Omg what a masterpiece of song, every single song by Wintersun has been made with so much inspiration and efficiency ✨🧚🏻♀️the work behind this is just amazing! thank you so much for this Wintersun!❤️
Oh boy here I go headbanging again
6:15 such a powerful moment!
It's funny when one person says 'hi jari, guys here'. Not so much when others trying to be funny say the same thing 20 mins later.
Here hi, guys jari
Hans krautwurscht jari hi, here guys
Honestly, I was thinking this was the winter. In my mind I see a huge snow winter storm when I listen to this song. I don't know why this is autumn, but still love it. A lot.
Really. Also, why does one have to be "lonely" in winter? I feel more lonely in the summer because everyone travels except me.
Im from Venezuela, we dont have the 4th seasons here, just sun and rain, for me this song is like a huge storm (rain) lml
Psycho Gaming because the autumn in Finland is more darkness than the winter. This is white and sunny and peaceful, but the autumn is horrible, the days are nights, the sun never raise. Finland weather is different than the other regions.

Best Wintersun Song !!! NO words !! Pure dark majesty 🤘 Hi Jari
6:13 until the end of the solo is my favorite part of this whole album, I think

flawless........that solo 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
I came when I heard Jukka's vocals
Ok, I must confess, at first I thought this is the weakest piece on the album, but it has grown on me very much. Wintersun, you know what you're doing
SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! MY EYESSSSSSS MY EARSSSSSS
What a finale!!!
Fucking shivers! That's how you separate songs from masterpieces!
I absolutely love this song Jari. I can relate so much with the emotions and metaphors in the song, just like every other song you've made. It is love
Not until now I really got to listening to this song compeletely, it was very boring even in the concert I saw but finally I managed to enjoy it! It's a good song once you listen to it a few times.
Tämä on kyllä hiton hyvä! Levyn paras...!! Kylmiä väreitä.....l
Nämä kaverit luovat kauniin musiikin. Tämä kappale on hieman raskaampi kuin normaalisti, mutta se on silti hyvä riippumatta.
Eternal Blastbeats 😄
Yes jajajaja eternal blastbeat /m/
Perfection.
I am the immortal shadow
The ruler of dark dimensions
Behold my crimson nightmare.
Can't wait until I get the album in my mailbox!!!!!x)
This has to be the most dismal of all Wintersun Tracks I've ever listened to and I believe I have the deepest appreciation for This band's music I'm awestruck of something I've discovered that only Wintersun has been able to enhance my transformational experiences
It's not a band
WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY "HEY GUYS, JARI HERE" ON EVERY SINGLE WINTERSUN SONG??
Because every single The Forest Document video starts with "Hi guys, Jari here".
Justin Herbert Money Shot, of course
JALLIKALLI That's a good point. Fucking normies, the whole lot of them.
And now everyone does it because they want likes
It became a sort of meme since Jari begin most of documentary/promotion video with that.
Loved hearing this at summerbreeze this friday!!!
Hands down! What a great song.
This song has always been a real killer to me. However, lately it has grown even more and now it's perhaps my favorite Wintersun song.
most Epic ending! Been a while since seen u guys live. Im a big fanboy since the start. Hope to see u once more when i actually have time to travel again.
So powerfull, So emotional
I here bits of Hirojoshi at the end of the solo. Succulent 😊
Amazing track, absolute masterpiece.
The end is incredible. Awesome !
damn....looking at the same Picture/screen in 14+min and dont really reflect over it....almost as their other videos from this album....only masterpieces can do that!!!!! and i have followed wintersun since the beginning....hope they do like the sonic pump live videos on this album,that would be brutal:!! great album alltogether,
Awesome ! Dissection part !
Gonna buy soon
This composition is too beautiful and scary !🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The first time I listened I was almost in disbelief... A Wintersun song that ..I kinda hate ? Then I listened to it some more and more and I fucking dig it now. Especially the second half and those powerful ending minutes.
best song of the album
One year ago, I disliked this song.
Now I want to marry it. Majestic.
Hey Vsauce, Jari here
Perfect.
Absolutely amazing, I'd love to hear a fusion of Lorna Shore and Winterson, the New and the Old Fused into one.
I feel the solo on this nearly defeats winter madness.
Third section is by far my favourite, one of my favourite moments in the album
