You were listening Finnish. A rare opportunity to hear it on Wintersun's songs. The band is Jari Mäenpää's brainchild. If you liked the song, there's quite a lot of material to dive into. Especially when there's similar material from his former band Ensiferum. On this one you can also see the band: "Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER".
Thanks for sharing your reaction to this song from an epic Finnish band & hopefully you'll also react to at least these three from their album "Time I": 1. Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER 2. Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER 3. Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) | Ultimate Version P.S. Their drummer & bassist are now with Nightwish also. Part of this song is in Finnish.
Thank you for this!! I definitely will, I've done some research on the band after this and I had no idea two member were also part of Nightwish now! I love them too! Very talented artists!
Great reaction! Wintersun is a Finnish band, so the singing changed to Finnish at the end. This band is Nightwish's brother band - two of the members are actually also in Nightwish. Both bands have a genius composer. Definitely check out more. Their live rehearsal video is legendary, recommend to check. ua-cam.com/video/4UMwLxFNKS0/v-deo.html
Hello thanks a lot!! Yes indeed after I filmed this I've done some research on them and the band members! Can't believe they are also in other great bands like Nightwish or even the guitarist of Megadeth! Haha Honestly incredible band! Thank you very much for this live version!
@@AthenaDK Absolutely ! Megadeth always had amazing guitar players, and many fans were sad when Kiko announced his departure last year, but even though I also regret him, I was very enthusiastic when I learned that he had recommended Teemu to take his place. Teemu is an absolute monster on guitar. One of the most precise, clean and humble player. (and now that he knows him, Dave Mustaine seems to appreciate his playing A LOT) EDIT : Je viens de voir la fin de ta réaction, avec la page de recherche sur WIntersun en Français... Il me semblait bien que ça pouvait être ça, la pointe d'accent que je décelais ton anglais (excellent ceci dit, je serais beaucoup moins fluide à l'oral pour ma part ;-) )
@@cesar_rojasbravo Hello thank you 😁 indeed I really like Greek history and mythology! And also astronomie! (if I didn't became an archeologist I would've become an astronomer aswell!) 😁🙏
@ woooow archaeology! 😍What a wonderful profession! I got a degree in Classical Studies. If I didn’t become an astronomer, I would’ve become an archaeologist 😁! May I ask where in the world do you perform your work?
@@cesar_rojasbravo oh wow Classical Studies that's great too! I did hesitate aswell with that hahaha, very interesting studies! I work essentially in Europe! In France the most, that's where I live 😁 wasn't it to hard to switch from Classical Studies to Astronomy? I guess that's more of a scientific path!
@@AthenaDK wow 🇫🇷 🤩! Do you focus on a period specifically? Such a rich archaeological history there! Haha actually I started with Physics, then did Classical St., now Astro! My dream is to combine all with some History of Science research… 🇫🇷 may be a good place for that 👀
@cesar_rojasbravo oh wow that's sounds great!! Those are dream studies 😍 hahah I wish you good luck! Must not be easy! Wish I could be a space archeologist those would combine my passions hahah But indeed here in France and Europe in general we have a very rich past / history! I'm very glad to be here even tho I can imagine there's rich past and history everywhere else in the world aswell! So much to discover and see haha! Which part of the work are you working from may I ask?
Wow what a great comment there about liking that there was no video and you have to use your imagination to pitcher what you are feeling. That is what it was like for we old timers who grew up listen to the radio or playing our records. The most prophetic song ever written was the Boggles hit Video Killed the Radio Star. Who knew back then that would be so true.
Hello yes that's true! We had to use our imagination much more before we could have music videos or internet! Sometimes I feel like you interpret things in your own way while listening to music even tho it's great to have the artists version on their work sure, but sometimes it's also good to have your own first!
In case you weren't aware already, some of us waited nearly half our lives to hear this song. The main instruments were recorded back in 2006! A beautiful way to close out this long saga. Thanks for sharing your reaction. By the way, this song has not been played live (yet). The album released August 30th 2024 and the band has not done any shows since and have no plans for any in the near future because the man behind the band, Jari, is commited to working on the next album which by his estimate is already 80% done.
Thank you, it was a nice video! Nightwish and Wintersun share more than just part of their crew, namely they both also have fans in common. Which is no wonder, when the composer-lyricist of both is a master in his field. When NW announced last year that they would be on an indefinite hiatus (that is, after the release of the new album, there will be no supporting tour), I already had time to hope that Wintersun would go on tour. But Jari Mäenpää said this summer that Wintersun will not go on tour either. But Jari is already writing new songs for the next albums... It has since become clear that Auri (members: Tuomas and his wife Johanna and Troy) is currently making a new album (Auri's third album), which will be recorded in the winter and released next spring. Then in the fall of 2025, Auri will do a European tour. There will be 3 NW musicians playing on the tour (Tuomas, Troy and Kai). Kai also plays drums for the Auri album. So some of the Nightwish musicians are busy now from autumn to autumn next year, but with a different band. That partly explains why NW can't tour next year.
Oh wow I didn't know about this at all! I've done some research after I listed to this song about the band members and indeed I was surprised to find out some of them also work with other great bands! And yes that explain certainly the fact Nighwish won't tour! But I hope to see them live as soon as they do in Europe! And indeed before even knowing about this I felt as well a vibe similar to Nightwish! But even more to Dream Theater too, that's the band I couldn't remember the name of in the video haha anyway thanks a lot for your comment!
Very good reaction. There is many great metal-bands in Finland. You seem to like Finnish metal. Why not try Beast in Black or Battle Beast for example.
The wind with the chimes is exactly how TIME I starts. So yesh I really recommend listening to TIME I and TIME II all the way from beginning to end if you like this :)
Hi Athena great first time reaction to Wintersun silver leaves beautiful intense emotional music but that's Wintersun is known for the are a symphonic metal band from Finland and they are a sister band with nightwish because nightwish has band members that are in wintersun . Wintersun uses viking folklore in their music too. I would like to recommend a suggestion next to continue on your Wintersun rabbit hole with a song that every one I've seen on UA-cam react to get introduced to Wintersun. The song Athena is Wintersun sons of winter and stars 1.5 official lyric video from Wintersun jari UA-cam channel. So please send me a reply after you read my comments on my Wintersun suggestion. Thank you Wintersun Alex USA ❄️
@@AthenaDK Wintersun has a wide range of different elements, not only symphonic metal, but they even use hundreds of tracks in some of their songs. Variations of power, black, folk, gothic, doom and progressive metal can be found in different songs.
Here in Finland there's been this odd thing of mixing electronic music with metal in the recent years. 2 that come to mind "Amorphis - The bee" and just recently released "Beast in black - power of the beast" It's an odd mix of sounds but some how it works really well.
@@kookoo9235 hi thanks!! That actually seems very interesting and good so thanks a lot for this recommendation! Metal and electronic music can work very well together! Just like classical Symphonic and metal!
It won’t be played live for a very long time. This is Wintersun and every band member are touring in different bands, Nightwish and Megadeath full time. lol
Im not the biggest Wintersun guy. Nothing wrong with them, just not my style. I did check Time 2 since as a finnish metalhead it was almost my duty to hear the mythological Time 2 😂 but my point is this song is incredible. Absolutely love it. Maybe because its not an overwhelming wall of sound like most of their songs.
@@ZonZorZerx wow ok now try to say it without being a supermegadouche... sure there is a lot going on, but he meant not like other wintersun songs where you get the feeling of being swallowed by a wave of sound. Way of the fire is a good example. I like being hit by a blast of music, some people dont.
if you like heavy metal next lovebites i lisent long time heavy metal this best new band what i see last 20 years it is same what song but maby LOVEBITES - Swan Song [+Chopin Intro]
you should react to "Furor Gallico" and in particular their song called "La caccia morta", they are an italian Folk metal band, their music its inspired to pangan religion and celtic sounds, they are very good.
This song is my least favorite in the album (or in both albums: Time I and Time II). That doesn't mean it's bad. Far from it. It just means that rest of the songs are extra phenomenal. If you decide to listen to the songs of Time I (definitely should), make sure it's the 2.0 version, since it is a new mix and master so it's up to today's standards (the remastered live rehearsal in Sonic Pump Studios -videos are also great, a bit more raw versions, but still extremely good quality and very pleasant)
![WOW!! NIGHTWISH / Ghost Love Score LIVE (Wacken 2013) REACTION [RE-UPLOAD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Z9DE7sd6Y_s/mqdefault.jpg)

Us Wintersun fans: HA! 😆

Thank you indeed I loved this! There's so much more from them I need to listen to!
My favorite band since I first heard Sadness and Hate. Just brilliant.
This monsterband is incredible. Masterclass band and beyond. Great reaction.Thank you.❤🎉 Cheers from a finn in Sweden.
Hello thanks a lot 😁 yes indeed they are incredible!! Greetings to you!
Also worth of checking is band called AMORPHIS. Start with "Death Of A King (Official Music Video)" or "Amongst Stars (Official Music Video)"
Thanks for sharing your reaction to this song from an epic Finnish band & hopefully you'll also react to at least these three from their album "Time I":

3. Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) | Ultimate Version
P.S. Their drummer & bassist are now with Nightwish also. Part of this song is in Finnish.
That is good way to go as Tarmo suggested. 👍🏼
Also want to mention their guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari plays also in Megadeth. 🤘🏼😎
Thank you for this!! I definitely will, I've done some research on the band after this and I had no idea two member were also part of Nightwish now! I love them too! Very talented artists!
@@cashewshalomhello yes I've seen that after doing some more research on them!! Amazing I had no idea!
@AthenaDK 🇫🇮🤗😘
I concur, but I'd say 2 before 1.....
Would love to see you react to Wintersun - One With The Shadows 🙏💯
@@martinfranzen9151 hello 😁 I will then! Thanks for the recommendation!
