-Matthew
You should've man, as fast as you jumped up I mean that was fast.

I spoke to Jari when he came to Toronto. He said they've seen this video and think it's great. :)
Really?! :)
@@Chrille5782 no
Back in 1199 , when I was young this song was really popular.
Thomas Mann I wish I lived then too xD
Me and the chillun would dance in ye old towne skware, pints for eveyone
Are you a vampire
some people don't get things!
Wow 10 years old, but gold! 🙂👏
As a Finn, I salute this band for using the national instrument of my country. Glorious kantele!
vittu,saatana,perkele,moi
perkele ei se edes ole meidän perus kantele... mutta empä kantele...
+Luus Aaltonen i understood perkele
It hurts you, if u can trust amorphis...
Julia M good for you... perkele.
Continuously coming back for the last 10 years. And will keep coming back in the hopes this will never be deleted. Why on earth isn't this on Spotify (or anywhere else)? Just beautiful.
who the hell disliked this?
this is probably the best and the most original WIntersun cover by now!
Most original cover in general! I'm haunted by this version.
#Atavistia
indeed!
I love Wintersun and this cover not only respects their work but adds a more atmospheric and folk mood to the song! Superb!
The instrument everyone is asking about is called a "Melody Harp", and yea it is just a really small Kantele. You can bay one for about $40
We are releasing our original music video tomorrow featuring one of our folkier songs; we just like to make music, whether it falls into one category or another doesnt concern us!
good for you doing your thing
3:29 I laughed my ass off.
"Snowball fight, Muthafuh!!"
_I literally listened over a hunderd times to this._
I fucking love the way emotions are expressed in this video, instruments and vocals.
*This is simply brilliant.*
Totally agree!!
wow this was past its time. this is the peak of music.
Yeah, the really high notes are on the mandolin and melody harp. Also, the song is played with the capo on the 3rd fret. We forgot to bring the capo with us on the trip to film the video, so...
Where's the 14 hours long sleeping version of this?
Good point! :)
Fuck i want it
Isso não é apenas um cover, é uma obra prima, todo mês venho aqui ouvir esse hino. Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷🤘
We LOVE Wintersun... we listened to Time I on the way to the hospital when our son was born... and now I'll be walking down the aisle to this version of my favorite Wintersun song... though it's super hard to pick a favorite song from them for me...Xanthochroid could not have done a better more beautiful rendition of this song, they kept the integrity and meaning of the original while giving it a different sound, they're voices are so majestically beautiful, and they're instrumental playing just makes you lean back and close your eyes... beyond perfect gentlemen!
4ish years later, I'm still listening to this.
I'm a writer and I must say that this song always inspires me when I'm writing. Amazing, guys.
Paola Cardoso Bit late but what do you write about? I'm a writer too!
I write high fantasy campaigns for dnd
This song inspires me to keep writing even when I hit a barrier that halts me
Me toooooo!!!!
Please check out more of our original stuff :) links are in the description
ALL DAY
Dare I say I enjoy this version even more than the original?
this is amazing!!!
+LYGF Insolence ThIS Is JuST AmAziNG!!!!!
All respect from Turkey. It's winter and snowing.
@turskakuikelo well, since the melody harp was in g minor and that's an annoying key on guitar for this we needed the guitar in GCFBbDG and we didn't have a capo so we tuned the fucker UP and minor 3rd haha
Seriously... who the fuck dislikes this kind of music? My mind can not comprehend why would someone, who likes the original, would not like this amazing cover.
The version of this song is so damn good it makes me feel like I'm just gonna pass out because I just can't handle how fucking beautiful this is! Keep it up guys!
Perfect description of how I feel about this song 🖤
Боже! 10 лет назад вышла эта песня, а за душу трогает каждый раз! Спасибо ребята за счастливые моменты моей жизни с вашими песнями!!!❤
Great cover! this version is magnificent...
Night gathers, and now my watch begins
It shall not end until my death
I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children
I shall wear no crowns and win no glory
I shall live and die at my post
I am the sword in the darkness
I am the watcher on the walls
I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn，the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men
I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch,
for this night
and all the nights to come...
I was skeptical at first, with Winterusn being one of my favorite bands. But damn. Good job.
Still hits in 2023, I like it more than the original tbh
I still can´t believe how perfect is this!
7 years since last comment?! pathetic. this is glorious and talented
Linda versão, não me canso de ouvi-la. Achei muito superior à versão do original, bem harmoniosa e as vozes são igualmente encantadoras. Parabéns vocês possuem muito talento. Sucesso e vida longa.
Superior? Excelente, mas diferente, não superior.
An epic cover, with this amazing accoustic sound, capturing all the solenity, like I'm feeling the pure whiteness of snow. And surprisingly enough, a very good use of accordion, probably the instrument I hate the most but not here.
Więcej Tego!
Zajebisty cover ale najlepszy ich to Harvest
Najlepszy utwór tego oto zespołu.
This song was written by wintersun originally. Wintersun doesn't describe themselves as folk metal, but a lot of fans see them that way (and the main song writer played in one of the most epic folk metal bands, Ensiferum(check out the song eternal wait!)). Wintersun is a Finnish band and lots of the melodies and harmonies reflect that. Check out the original version of "land of snow and sorrow" to see what i mean. Welcome to metal, my friend.
Standard, capo on 3rd. It's in g minor
I come back every now and then to listen to this awesome cover
I am an American and I grew up in the 1970s'. I do not think that I can listen to American bands again after this. You people are so much more... amazing, musically. I grew up on early metal (back then it was Black Sabbath, Deep Purple ). OK, Five Finger Death Punch is OK but.... they are nowhere in your league. I understand that you are not playing metal but, you are.
+Dale Subic It's the spirit of people, ancestors and lands enchanting this song.... The original is pretty epic and powerful (the entire Time album of Wintersun is epic and symphonic). But thhis rendition is still carrying the level of feeling higher. It's so mezmerising. I am part Nordic, hearing such song is so chilling and touching. It makes me cry, laugh, feel humble and great at the same time.....
It's folk sir. echoes down millenia.
+ServantOfOdin
I know what you mean as well, I'm from The Netherlands the pagan brother country and the feelings you have is what I feel. To get to know partly what our ancestors must have felt :) Which is personally why Heidevolk is my favorite along with others (obviously). It's great for me to see everytime people recognizing the wonder and beauty their own country has ^^
OppertunisTzz _ So true. After returning to the spiritual ways of my ancestors, I feel far better than ever before. Seeing the modern world, with it's twisted and egocentric workings, I am more and more abhored at what we created.
+Dale Subic Xanthochroid is an american band...... Granted they are covering a song from a European band.
So Beautiful...
love the guy with dark hair, his voice is awesome
I've known this song for a few years now and I always keep coming back to it because it's so damn pretty
Big Bear Mountain, we live pretty close to it.
My son asked me to come check out this video... amazing! It's the same type ofmusic he plays here at home on his guitar. Love it!
That blond singer fucking cracks me up.
Still listening to this masterpiece in 2021!!
This should be used in Game of Thrones or Westworld.
Utkarsh Kumar better in Vikings
Was better for The Lord of The Rings or The Hobbit
+ The Witcher
Wow, just wow. Saw this on the sidebar and thought there was no way anybody could do Wintersun justice. I underestimated you guys... going to check out all your other stuff now.
Bravo
@Мария Эри good thing we are from Russia, because this comment would be really hard to read otherwise!
Shivers every time.
Really good cover!
absolutamente :))
Much better than the original one.
Juan Palacios lol... ok the stupid comparisons started..
Juan Palacios how the fuck can you compare this with original?!
This isn't even metal song!!(not saying it is bad tho)
It's been so many years and I still love this version! ❤️
Great cover, but 3:27 was so unexpected.
That's what I thought too x)
i thought it was funny
it seemed like he was jumping out of a rainbow and he was soooooo happy
but like what you said great cover
Jagdeep singh lmao
PRAISE THE SUN (or snow)
+Metal Maestro hahaha i know right? i thought it was a mistake xD
Holy Odin! That's awesome! Perfect!
its like an octave and a half. and I don't think it is truly a kantele. I bought it at a children's toy store it was called a 'Melody Harp' but it is the same idea :)
You guys need to make more folk music! I love this song and I need more! Thanks for the awesome tunes and please make more!
Que dlç de música
:3
As duas coisas hein aushash :v
eu também não, mas acho um charme homens com cabelo grande
Era essa música q vc queria????
+Hiel e Yukina, Old rs
i saw these guys at last nights wintersun concert in Anaheim. they handed me a free sticker and business and told me to check them out. here I am. :)
10 years ago...
i can listen to this all day merrymaking in the woods, so beautiful
Holy shit you guys can sing! Great stuff ;)
(BTW sounds like both have classical training?)
This cover is awesome.
Fortunately bands like yours exist to save the honour of music.
I fall asleep every night with this song in the ears, with smile.
Your band is fantastic, thank you from the bottom of my heart, and sorry for my bad english.
A french, who loves Xanthochroid.
Eu amo tanto essa música ❤️❤️
Wow lovely song, beautifully playing music and very handsome guys. Head to west of Ireland. They will love this xxx
Any chance you guys are gonna do a full folk album? Your symphonic stuff is great, but I keep coming back to the Covers EP because it's fucking awesome.
I just melted, it sound so cold to me, but gives me a warm feeling at the same time. Just wow....
They're so much better as a folk band than as a black metal band
But they're both? It's not like they're anywhere near raw black metal...
@@elrohir0 wtf
@@elrohir0 Folk music is pretty fucking awesome, well anything sounds good when compared to black metal which is pretty much the worst style in the world.
@@Mistted it can be done well sometimes. It’s just always mixed really poorly except ironically these guys who did a really good cover of harvest (still not a huge fan of black metal vocals though)
No way lol
All I can say is thank you, for this wonderful version of a wonderful song.
Any One In 2019??
2020!
2023
perhaps this music is one of few things I love about winter. I feel the sorrow and the cold, well-well done!
i love vocal, video, all exept 3:30 in the video...
Yeah, I admittedly just cried. Beautiful.
what a beautiful sadness....... :´)
head this one about 150 times in the last two days. simply amazing and no end in sight ;)
TABS PLEASE!
Not just a great cover, even better than the original, this version is for me one of the best and greatest songs ever!!! It's more than 2 years ago since I first listened this song and I still keep on playing it over and over again, it's just so damn perfect I can't believe it!
Très beau
i cannot decide which part of the video/ song should i fall in love with.
Sam looks like Khal Drogo. And Matti looks like Viserys with longer hair. Anyway, awesome cover!
Beautiful voices, beautiful faces and so much talent. Like damn.
It was cold, I'm a psycho, thats what I look like, fuck you, glad you like it :)
This cover is BRILLIANT
Blond dude is an elf
...that's a very good way to making me want to get to know more of this band... I was impressed!
Amazing I want to learn this song on acoustic but i need tabs :/
I'm attempting to learn it by ear, but it's pretty tough
Bruce Bales It's in Drop C if that helps at all.
DiffusalGaming It is in the wintersun version. But is it in drop c here?
It's in Standard E in this version
These guys need more attention for their talent.
ragnar and rollo
You guys are so creative and beautiful singers, too... I'd never have heard of you, if not for the Dimmu thing!
We are pretty normal, non-important loser musicians. Though we are kind of funny-lookin'
SILLY GUYS, THIS IS A GIANT LIE 🤥
Guys... it was been a long time that i doesn't listen to something so good like your band!!!!
Congrats
Why do you guys make black metal when your clean vocals are that awesome? o.O
There's a really good variety of cleans and shrieks in their original stuff, and Sam's harsh vocals are also pretty awesome
because their black metal vocals are equally as awesome
also why not both?
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful.
Maybe it was the song choice, very well could have been their faces; but I instantly like these guys.
3:29 lol
I think this is one of the most, if not the most, beautiful covers I have ever had the chance to find. Instruments, vocals and video. Absolutely magnificient.
This reminds me a lot of The Witcher 3.
every way I have heard this song ans it still rocks...
HA GRANDSPAS GUITARS
Amazing reference
Nice rap cover of Wintersun but next time don't use auto-tune.
Or those fucking dubstep instrumentals...
Jack Hart i know right.
Im not gay too so you can touch them don't worry.
