This song is a masterpiece! First time I heard it I was so mesmerized by the music I couldn't stop listening even though I usually don't like growling. Another amazing song is Sons of Winter and Stars, from this same session
So glad you did this. I could go on forever. Simply one of it not at times the greatest tracks of all time, pardon the pun, by a band that the world needs to know about but no doubt will remain a secret. I'm not sure if even Floor or Janis rest her soul could better the raw emotion of those vocals by Jari. Many say Tuomas counts his blessings that he has Floor in the band. But he is indeed more than fortunate to have Kai and Jukka onboard. Wintersun are immense.
Goosebumps! Young Kai and Jukka. Jukkas voice, Tuomas has to make use of that! Super guitar shots. Jari, getting ready like a sprinter, then growls and screams, switching to clean vocals. Love it when guitars sparr with each other, or harmonise.
The singer is the finnish mastermind Jari Mäenpää and their songs are often kinda melancholic, maybe portraying the finnish mindset (sorry all Finns) 😉 He went through a surgery and had to remove one of his loungs due to tuberculosis 20 years ago, but that doesnt stop him from doing great technical music. Great reaction. 👍
I found Wintersun via the Nightwish Army. The first song I listened to was "Sons of Winter and Stars", which you should react to next, IMO. It took about four listens before I stopped trying to analyse what was going on and just enjoy the music for what it is. I've bought two of their albums. I don't particularly like growling, but you can hear the words when Jari does it, and he puts so much emotion into it. The other growler with fantastic clean vocals, that I also found via the Army, is Devin Townsend. I can recommend "DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT - Deadhead (Live at Royal Albert Hall)" as a first listen.
@@SueSueandthewolfman Yes, it's from the same rehearsals, ua-cam.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/v-deo.html Enjoy! And thanks, because I've just had to watch the whole video again! 👍🤘
Devin Downsend is great but if you like to stay in Finland for awhile please check out Amorphis. Their singer has one of the greatest growls and nicest velvety singing voices. You might want to start with The Bee or Death of a King official videos bc there are not so many great live videos even though Tomi delivers live, too.
I'm soooo waiting this couple react winter sons ;=) its big thing that missing their list.. but maybe there afraid to check it out,, not so usual that you lose your goodnight sleep when hear some magical.. ;0)
i still love this song and this video as many times as ive heard it and seen it- it is absolutely perfect gorgeous song-Jari is the singer and guitar player is just amazing,all the musicians, Teemu is the guywith the green guitar and Jukka the bass player and of course Kai the drummer - so half of Wintersun is now in Nightwish
Time is a great track - but if you want to see Kai working MUCH harder watch the track Sons of Winter & Stars from the same session. Jari, the founder and singer is missing a good part of one lung having caught TB when doing his National Service.
Wait till you get to Amorphis and Poets Of The Fall. Highly strong male vocals you are gonna like im sure. Amorphis has those death metal growls and the smoothest clear vocals mixed.
This song is so intense and just plain epic. I have been meaning to play it for my daughter - who I am proud to say is into hard rock and metal - but I have to wait for just the right time. This is not a song to be taken lightly! :)
I've never listened to Wintersun before. Dang, are they ever good. The instrumentals were stellar, and Kai drumming incredible to see his skill in action like that..
Hi Suesue, Hi Wolfman. Hope you are both well my good friends. I'm so sorry I have been away....my phone basically died on me. I'm trying to catch up on everything I have missed. Thank you so much for reacting to Time by Wintersun... one of my favourite bands. who along with Nightwish and Opeth have been my go to bands for many years. This is a brilliant song which helped me through a very dark time. I lost my sister in January 2020... just before Covid and I screamed the lyrics as I have just done today. It was written by Jari after losing his Dad and you see and hear the pain in his voice. Some other tracks to check from this band are ..Land of Snow and Sorrow, Sons of Winter and Stars . A live track to check out by Opeth is Ghost of Perdition live at Red Rocks.... superb as is the band 👍 Hope you have a great rest of the day. I really appreciate and love your channel and being of your musical family 👍😆 Take care, stay safe. Gentle Blessings. Peace and love from Alan Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️ Looking forward to your next reaction.
Do some more Wintersun, they are great and just watching them playing those guitar's are amazing. Would be nice if you check out Jarkko Ahola and Walking In The Air.
More Wintersun songs to react: Sons of winter and stars, Land of snow and sorrow Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios ua-cam.com/video/K2p9PsVD9Ho/v-deo.html Wintersun - Land of snow and sorrow - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios ua-cam.com/video/cZB6JVllJSg/v-deo.html
Here im trying to get my ass to a day 3 at DBTL festival and all i can get done is go through all the reaction videos. Theres gonna be Thundermother, Village People and Battle Beast today at the festivals.
Great reaction to one of the greatest bands IMO. Amazingly complex, beautiful, and epic music. I think the songs from the Time album are composed of 200 to 300 tracks. Sons of Winter and Stars from the same session is incredible and even more epic. One of my other favorites is Winter - Loneliness from the Forrest Seasons album (ua-cam.com/video/qIiZFpOQnd8/v-deo.html). Jari wrote it about the passing of his father while he was making the album. As only a Finn can, he perfectly captures the atmosphere and sense of isolation of winter in a forest (grew up in Vermont so it really hits home for me, much like Quiet as the Snow from All the Works of Nature that Adorns the World does). Another related song you should listen to is from Jari's previous band Enisferium, Lai Lai Hei. There is no video with Jari as the singer, because he was fired before they started touring, so just the studio version (ua-cam.com/video/uEqsfYLRqDc/v-deo.html) but it is such an epic medieval questing song. There are some live versions with the band after Jari left. Live at Wacken in 2018 (ua-cam.com/video/m1ZVepnelVE/v-deo.html) where some of the audience sits down is acting like they are rowing a Viking longboat and an acoustic version (ua-cam.com/video/7XTk4MsrvmI/v-deo.html).
Some funfacts 🤗 Jari Maenpaa the leadsinger/composer is a multiinstrumentalist, and he plays all the instruments, that we don't see. One number can easely contain more than a thousand tracks, wich Jari edits himself, with a ton of work behind it 🤗 He also suffered a serious lungillness when he was inlisted in the Finnish army, and that cost him perhaps 25%of his lungcapacity 🤗 Teemu, the second guitarist, also called the black Manta, is also an phemomenal guitarplayer and has been leadguitarist for the last five or six years, and they had Aseem Seerah as secondguitarist, as Jari would rather concentrate on his singing, than the guitar, also because he became sore in his neck and back, while playing. But just recently Aseem left the band for any reason that i don't know 🤗 So maybe Jari will pick up playing again 😄
All there songs are a experience, my favorite is Loneliness Jari wrote this masterpiece when his dad past away , you can hear the total devastation you have when you had been true the lost of a loved one My dad died 15 years ago when i first listen to this song and i wash trown back at that periode whit the same griev and emotions😪
Glad you got some of the rain. It got close here but yet not a drop. Haven’t had measurable amount since June 3. Not a bad band. You can see why Tuomas has used this as a feeder of musicians now. I think this video was recorded close to the time it came out in 2012.
Also, if you want to see more of Kai, and also have Anette Olzon guest singing, check out the video by Swallow The Sun - Cathedral Walls. The video also has Aleah Stanbridge (r.i.p.) of Trees Of Eternity as the dark-haired gal in the video wearing the black veil.
🇫🇮 👍 Like Nightwish, Wintersun is in a class of their own. The vocalist Jari Mäenpää is a genius composer just like Tuomas Holopainen. Jari is also a extremely talented multi-instrumentalist & in this song he does it all, except some supporting choir/background vocals,: Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Official Lyric Video ua-cam.com/video/qIiZFpOQnd8/v-deo.html He wrote this song to cope with the sudden death of his father.
when music is amazing,in this case it is :) best wintersun songs are 1. loneliness 2. time 3. sons and winter and stars. loneliness best funeral song ever made (jari make that when his dad die ) that song only lyric video. thanx to great reaction like always and have wonderful day and soon new week.
I was watching the cans and was like "i have only little set O_O" Tama brand :). I also have acoustic guitar and keyboard but mi wanna practice with the keyboard as i get it set somewhere =D. now it is under one table on it's stand tho =). as i got drums i did ask from neighbour "do i play too loud?" he was heavy guy and was "keep rocking girl!" =D i really say LORDI and the Get Heavy album did safe my life at that point... Nightwish and song Nemo i did practice my voice back to normal range from one surgery to throath, singing the high notes like crow must have been fun for those who did listen =D and other songs too, btw, The Phantom Of The Opera (2004) i went to watch in movies 8 times... i got popcorn for free at once i think =D. Just came to mind from suesue =D. Wulfie, i vuv your furr says mine pupper side =D so fluffy O_O. Hugs and snuggles to wuffers!
Hello SueSue & The Wolfman, it's been a while since Wintersun so maybe it's time for another one, perhaps a bit slower one? Wintersun - Loneliness ua-cam.com/video/qIiZFpOQnd8/v-deo.html
Hello SueSue & The Wolfman, now that the sequel has been released after 12 years of waiting, maybe it's time for Time II, my choice again is ofc the most beautiful song of the album Wintersun - Silver Leaves ua-cam.com/video/Lp2wU6gtp0E/v-deo.html
I would suggest EVERGREY for another great band to give a listen, they have a calab with Floor “ In Orbit “ most Floor fans start off with that track but they are a really a great band They are another European band (Swedish) that does not get enough exposure Anything from them is a keeper Tom also has a Project call “ Silent Skies “with Vicram from Redemption which Tom also sings with if they need a singer , Tom’s soulful voice it beautiful in the striped back music they Play Floor has a interview with Tom about Mental Health on her YT channel. He gave up music for a while and studied psychology. He worked with Cancer Patients for a while Please give them a listen
Who is a Chinese crested and it’s crazy but yes they do tend to have their tongues hang out, especially now that he is 13 years old and has no teeth left. He’s our buddy! Thanks for asking about him!
Thanks Riku We have a very long list of song’s suggestions by our watchers and subscribers We can only do what people suggest We will go back and react to the original Thanks for watching!

I'm not a fan of over done growling either. This is my first time hearing this, and I'm blown away by the lead vocals. So good.
True, i guess its the perfect contrast between Clean And Destoration vocals
Ditto dude, made me take up guitar 😂🤘🏻
Najjaca pesma ikada
Wintersun. It was about TIME!!!😁💥🤘
Yay!
Teemu Mäntysaari's arpeggios right before Jari's solo are absolutely top notch.
Yes, and that solo is actually a duet. Teemu is doing some pretty nuts stuff with the "solo".
Spot on! Maybe my favorite part of the song.
So glad you did this. I could go on forever. Simply one of it not at times the greatest tracks of all time, pardon the pun, by a band that the world needs to know about but no doubt will remain a secret. I'm not sure if even Floor or Janis rest her soul could better the raw emotion of those vocals by Jari. Many say Tuomas counts his blessings that he has Floor in the band. But he is indeed more than fortunate to have Kai and Jukka onboard. Wintersun are immense.
Well said!
Goosebumps! Young Kai and Jukka.
Jukkas voice, Tuomas has to make use of that!
Super guitar shots.
Jari, getting ready like a sprinter, then growls and screams, switching to clean vocals.
Love it when guitars sparr with each other, or harmonise.
Great reaction. Big Wintersun fan here. Check out “Sons of Winter and Stars” from Wintersun as well.
Ja, that would be the next choice for me.
well def trust you and Gunter so it's on the list now! Thx!
Finally Wintersun!
Wintersun = Nightwish compositions on Speed :-)
Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. Hometown of Wintersun. Thx for a good reaction video. Stay heavy!
Thank you so much for tuning in! I have been trying to learn some Finnish but it’s not easy lol! Suesue

@@SueSueandthewolfman My pleasure..
Yes!!!! Kai Hahto at his best. React next to Sons of Winter and Stars
Time is a great track - but if you want to see Kai working MUCH harder watch the track Sons of Winter & Stars from the same session. Jari, the founder and singer is missing a good part of one lung having caught TB when doing his National
Service.
The greatest group of people, who picked up stick and stones to make sound.
...other goodies from WS are e.g. "Loneliness", "Sons of winter and stars", "Forest that weeps" and "Land of snow and sorrow" 🤗
Wait till you get to Amorphis and Poets Of The Fall. Highly strong male vocals you are gonna like im sure. Amorphis has those death metal growls and the smoothest clear vocals mixed.
Yes, Yes, YES!
Yes please :)

I would suggest EVERGREY for another great band to give a listen, they have a calab with Floor “ In Orbit “ most Floor fans start off with that track but they are a really a great band
They are another European band (Swedish) that does not get enough exposure Anything from them is a keeper
Tom also has a Project call “ Silent Skies “with Vicram from Redemption which Tom also sings with if they need a singer , Tom’s soulful voice it beautiful in the striped back music they Play
Floor has a interview with Tom about Mental Health on her YT channel. He gave up music for a while and studied psychology. He worked with Cancer Patients for a while
Please give them a listen

The only thing I like in Nightwish is the boring repeating reference to Wintersun´s drummer, lest people can appreciate real music from this band.
