Thank You both for the educational roll of honor intro on the band members names and instrument roleplays, I've no idea. Very good live rehearsal, I'd pay to see these live! I've read in the previous reaction comments a few didn't appear too enamored on "Wintersun". It baffles me that these guys are underappreciated or aren't part of the metal mainstream around the world. I don't know what mainstream music moguls are seeing what we fans don't. Thanks for the timestamps and enjoy rest of week!
It's always so much fun to see different people analyzing the lyrics. They are ambiguous and poetic on purpose, but maybe they are more literal than you may expect. Jari actually hates winter and loves summer. The seasons in Finland can be rather extreme and the winters can be really really dark and cold while the short summers can be really sunny and hot. Likely he ties multiple meanings in his lyrics, but knowing him somewhat, he takes a lot of inspiration from his relationship with the different seasons, mainly from winter since it can be so painful.
Greetings from Finland! Excellent pronunciation of their names! Great reactions too! Subbed! Also, that opening reminds me of Skyrim, especially the drums.
We'll listen to Land of Snow and Sorrow next time, and then we'll probably move onto The Forest Seasons album. So yeah, we'll listen to all of the songs you mentioned 😁
@@neonskepetunije If you like lyric analysis you should really do Eternal Darkness - (Autumn). I won't spoil anything but it's really dark and beautiful.
Great reaction to this masterpiece. This is one of my all time favorite songs. Just for your information you have a typo in the title :D could not find it when searching for Wintersun because of it. So you will get more views if you fix it :) the "R" is missing in Wintersun. Take care and thanks for a nice reaction! Would be nice to see you listen to Wolfheart sometime too! It's another Finnish melodic death metal band who has a "mastermind" front figure; Tuomas Saukkonen. Their song "The Flood" is a nice slow tempo melancholic song. "The Hunt" and "Ashes" would be nice too!
Nice reaction ! You pronounced the name Jukka very well: D. When I explain to someone in English how to pronounce my name, I usually use this: YUKKA. That is probably the easiest way to understand it. Finnish J sounds like English Y. So JUKKA> YUKKA, TARJA> TARYA, JARI> YARI. Wintersun is really a really good band. BTW, all the other instruments you hear in the video but you don't see - they are made by Jari ... If you still stay in the songs on this album for a while, I recommend watching the third one done in this same rehearsal session. Which has already been suggested here: "Land Of Snow And Sorrow". It's a shorter song and very different from the two already heard. But I think you like it too. If you go backwards, then the first album has a song called "Winter Madness." It features one of Jari’s finest guitar solos! Or "Death and the Healing," I really like this a lot. BTW, I could recommend the first and especially the third album in terms of studio versions. Then those backgrounds made by Jari are also well heard. If you move on to the third album, as I said earlier, I recommend listening to its songs in order. They have the logic to listen to them in order. As is the logic of Nightwish’s latest album, listen to it from first to last. There are two versions of the last song, normal and so-called acoustic. Both are heartbreaking and definitely belong to end of Wintersun journey. But if you are interested in one song coming to the "Time 2" album? No one knows (not even Jari himself) when that album will be released. But I can say that, certainly not this year. One of the finest guitar solos I’ve seen. Jarin's spider fingers ... Wintersun- 70000 Tons of Metal 2015- The Way of the Fire ua-cam.com/video/cGglkvA2OBg/v-deo.html Unfortunately, there are no videos in it other than those made by the audience. Here's a pretty good sound quality. And that Jari's second guitar solo - the movement of his fingers! And if you are interested in seeing Kai Hahto's drum skills ...? Kai Hahto w / Pearl Reference Pure Drums • [Wintersun - The way of the fire] ua-cam.com/video/zpELF5in-cU/v-deo.html Same song, but the camera is in front of Kai. His drum work is worth watching!
J is pronounced the same way in Serbian, we have that in common. So I guess that made it easier for us 😄 We'll definitely finish of Time 1 album first, then we'll move onto The Forest Seasons album. And we'll definitely listen to the songs in order. Thanks for the links, suggestions, and the info on "Time 2" album (saw some memes about it lol)
If you want more of the epicness, darkness and harsh vocals, Eternal Darkness (Autumn) is your choice, if you want more emotional stuff with clean vocals, Loneliness (Winter) is your next stop with Wintersun :)
sounds awesome the progressive nature of the song the beautiful elegant almost sounds as though it has ambient sounds like if omega infinity band with their very cool progressive metal sound with the anticurrent album and the swedish meshuggah had a baby i mean they all sound very awesome so groovy the singer jari and the guy providing the lower end vocals sound good contrasts
Petunije, first of all, your pronunciation of Finnish names is pretty much perfect, especially compared to native English speakers who just can't seem to get the hang of them. "How do they do it?" is what you asked during the intro. I'm pretty sure that's a reverse delay effect on the guitar. Beautiful but you have to get the tempo right, otherwise it will sound like a building collapsing very messily.
i can see this song in castlevania movie if they ever make that, trevol belmont trip and then fight and slaughter monsters :) my personal best song this band is loneliness what jari make when his father die. official lyric video can hear sadness in his voice,there is not any good live video. thanx to great react and i think too this was slightly better than sons of winter and stars.

We can relate to that, since we don't like winter either, for various different reasons 😔
Next Wintersun: Loneliness ❤
Thanks for the suggestion 😊
Great time !!!!!!! You two are so good at this ; than you for giving me a smile at the beginning at an otherwise lousy week
The pronunciations of the names were spot on!
Very good pronunciation🤘🙂👍
Greetings from Finland! Excellent pronunciation of their names! Great reactions too! Subbed! Also, that opening reminds me of Skyrim, especially the drums.
Greetings from Serbia and welcome to the channel! And you are right, it does have a bit of a Skyrim vibe in the beginning.
Again I can not anything else to say than ❤️! Greetings from Finland and take care yourselfs! (by NW fan since 1998)
You guys nailed the pronunciation btw.
...so you have atleast the "Loneliness", "Forest that weeps" and "Land of snow and sorrow" on the future menu to check out 🙂?
We'll listen to Land of Snow and Sorrow next time, and then we'll probably move onto The Forest Seasons album. So yeah, we'll listen to all of the songs you mentioned 😁
@@neonskepetunije If you like lyric analysis you should really do Eternal Darkness - (Autumn). I won't spoil anything but it's really dark and beautiful.
@@neonskepetunije it´s TIME for new Wintersun reaction! Of course the last one from same rehearsel "The Land of Snow and Sorrow"
@@crazyjoedavola7493 Yes it is! Not sure if we'll get to it this month, but next month we'll listen to some more Wintersun for sure!
@@neonskepetunijeI´cant wait for that! You ladies Rock!!

B.t.w.: Jukka (Koskinen) ist the new bassist of Nightwish. He replaces Marko on her next Tour!
Nice reaction !

One more to go from the live rehearsal
Land of Snow and sorrow a very nice song by wintersun
We'll listen to it next time!
Ladies, new Wintersun kiitos!
best one yet -
Very solid band. Lots of Folk in their music. Saw them live a few years ago with Jinjer and Arch Enemy all in one evening. Quite rememberable 😀🤘
Wow, we envy you!
If you want more of the epicness, darkness and harsh vocals, Eternal Darkness (Autumn) is your choice, if you want more emotional stuff with clean vocals, Loneliness (Winter) is your next stop with Wintersun :)
Thanks for the suggestions! We'll most likely finish Time I album and then move onto The Forest Seasons album.
land of snow and sorrow next
Yes! Slusamo sledeci put!
Hei ihanat ✨💖 terveisiä Suomesta 🤘🏻💪🏻🇫🇮✨🙏🏻
Terveisiä Serbiasta! 😄

Thanks for the suggestion! We'll listen to Loneliness (and all of Wintersun's discography) for sure 😊
Y'all should check out some Pantera! They'll blow your mind🤘
We love Pantera! We know a bunch of their songs, so we can only check out the ones we don't know.
You didn’t butcher the names at all!
Phew! good to know 😄
Jari's Nose 😆
That would be a good name for a band (like Spock's Beard) 😉
If we ever form a band, we'll name it Jari's Nose 😆🤘
Only with those nose u can sing and compose as He do...😉
Prvi 🤣
