Two of those guys namely the drummer Kai Hahto and bassist Jukka Koskinen are nowadays in Nightwish while the guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari is in Megadeth.
So nice to see finally a reaction where the reactor hear the connection between Children of Bodom and Wintersun. Both Finnish bands, so no surprise. Many of Wintersun's songs have COB feel. Nice reaction!
Indeed! Jari Mäenpää has roots in the Finnish black metal scene and CoB is obviously one of the best known acts from that scene. Especially the vocal styles here lean heavily to 1990s Finnish metal.
Well this was a great reaction to start the day with a cup of coffee! Teemu Mäntysaari (with that green/blue guitar) plays now with Megadeath. Kai Hahto (drums) and Jukka Nevalainen (bass) are playing in Nightwish. The Mastermind behind this band and music is Jari Mäenpää, the singer/guitarist. He’s a genius! But they all are true professionals in what they do. Amazing! 🔥🤘
This is what you get when you let Kai Hahto (nowadays in Nightwish) compose the drum track himself! He really pushed himself, ie. composed a track that's absolutely the most insane he's still able to play live. He's said he needs to train a session every single day to keep the edge.
This might've been my recommendation. I suggested Wintersun to you a long long time ago. If you thought this one was good, Time from the same rehearsal is arguably even better.
Hey fellow guitarist ! :) My favorite Wintersun song is STARCHILD its so fking good. No one should be allowed to be alive and not having listened to it !
I am not sure how much of the backing choir-like vocals were just the people present and effects and how much it was backing tracks; maybe a bit of both. But on the album version the choral parts are really fancy, because Jari Mäenpää, the main guy behind the band, invited all competent male Finnish metal singers he could get hold of to sing them together. And trust me, Finland has plenty!

The machine of the drummer is the amazing Kai Hahto of Nighwish.
Masterpiece ever
WINTERSUN 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 great and AWESOME band 🤘🤘🤘🤘 thank you for your reaction
Perfect song for November-mood here in Finland 😂 First snow has came, daylight is on 9AM-4PM, so it’s time to listen some Finnish Metal 🇫🇮🤘🔥❤️

Well done, I concur 👍
Jukka Koskinen on bass.
@ Oh, yes. My mistake!

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. Hometown of Wintersun. Thx for a good reaction video. 🤘
MASTERPIECE
Great reaction😊 Nice to see a reactor that actually has something to say. I hope you do more of them in the future.
This might've been my recommendation. I suggested Wintersun to you a long long time ago.

Time II album is amazing.
Gotta check out their songs "Winter Madness" or "The Way Of The Fire." There's some serious neo-classical playing going on.
They asked Jari (frontman) what metal genre their music is and because it doesn't fit in just one genre, he gave it the name 'Fantasy Metal'.
Hey fellow guitarist ! :) My favorite Wintersun song is STARCHILD its so fking good. No one should be allowed to be alive and not having listened to it !
Thanks!

Next you should do "Time" by Wintesun. Another similar session.
I am not sure how much of the backing choir-like vocals were just the people present and effects and how much it was backing tracks; maybe a bit of both.

Do not try to break your brain with time signatures. Wintersun just is.
Time signatures are a suggestion.
🤘😁🇫🇮💙🪄🎼✨💯👍
Kai hato, nicknamed the human metronome because he is so precise and his timing is not off by a second
Kai Hahto got old and went to Nighwish...easier :D
