Finally!! Wintersun - TIME (LIVE Rehearsals Sonic Pump Studios) | Reaction!!!!

[@riittasihvonen2011]

I may be a bit bias but the fact is that Finland has the greatest metal bands in the world.

[@ntak8262]

Hyvä Suomi 👊🙏🏻❤️✨

[@Chris_MarMar]

Gonna have to agree. I can’t go back to metal from my country (American). European metal, especially Finnish, is just superior.

[@ivantheterrrible9213]

In my humble opinion, this is one of the best composed/written/performed metal song ever, across all the metal genres.

[@Mulukkis]

It's up there. Hard to be objective, but I guess it's kinda undeniable how well Jari composes. Just imagine he wasn't a complete lunatic and would actually just finish his music.

[@evvk8865]

True,so true Man.

[@pbmdh]

Sons of Winter and Stars is superior. Time is great, but really repetitive. SOWS is a fucking journey

[@ntak8262]

I enjoy your reaction ❤👊🎉 Greetings and thanks from Finland 🇫🇮💖🙏🏻

[@hajovelt3083]

Jari's voice and guitar playing are unique. Not compareble to anyone .

[@pen7759]

concur !

[@jauhoprinsessa]

Im not sure if its true but supposedly Jari has only 1 lung..makes it even more insane.

[@pbmdh]

@@jauhoprinsessa He lost 1/4-1/3 of one of his lungs

[@TimoArula]

I absolutely love seeing people discover Wintersun for the first "Time" (Pun intended!!!), and react with such jaw-dropping surprise to all the different parts, melodies, and compositional layers (upon layers), that went into making this gorgeous masterpiece. For me the transitions with Jari's range from growls to clean vocals is just phenomenally flawless. And wonderful Kai, like a human Machine Gun! The stories their songs tell is just as amazing.. A true 'gallop off on a quest' across snow-swept wintery landscapes, this song has always filled my heart to bursting with love and pure enjoyment. One of the most beautifully epic songs you will hear in metal. I saw an interview where Kai Hahto was asked: - Now that in Nightwish, how come you don't do that incredible stuff you did on Wintersun? He laughed and answered: - You don't do things because you CAN, you do what serves the song. PLUS, the Bass player Jukka Koskinen is now official Nightwish member !!! 🤘😎🤘.

[@hajovelt3083]

Who ever heared this song first it will lands on his playlist forever...

[@Nemendril]

Sons of winter and stars from this same set is one of the best musical experiences you will ever hear.

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Agree 100%.

[@riittasihvonen2011]

FINALLY!!!

[@richardwest6358]

Not only is Kai the drummer with Nightwish - the base player here - Jukka - is now an official member. If you enjoyed this you should watch "sons of winter & stars" to see even more explosive drumming

[@trinadawn4166]

i concur

[@nagyalex5310]

I concur!!

[@monicacarolina6480]

I have to say that he plays well Jukka, but live has no charisma at all. Invisable and that made me really sad

[@JayTor2112]

@@monicacarolina6480 I wouldn't say that, he's not even allowed to do background vocals with Nightwish oddly, and he has a bigger vocal and stage presence playing with Wintersun. I think they just want him in Sami mode on stage for some reason.

[@tonilaitinen5197]

Still waiting to hear Jukka sing vocals in Nightwish. I guess he is taking it safe at first - not an easy task to jump in a band like Nightwish and learn to perform all the songs from the grandmaster composer at the level expected from Nightwish - and to have some big boots to fill. Jukka also has quite a vocal coach as a band mate now.

[@riittasihvonen2011]

And this rehesrsal was done in one take.

[@marcel021065]

Correct kai was wintersun and jucca the bassist on NW now also came from Wintersun, nice reaction friend

[@alleninfinity6730]

Yep, Kai now drummer for Nightwish, and Jukka now on bass replaced Marko. These guys are unbelievably talented.

[@jeannettesimpson9778]

I found Wintersun through the Nightwish community. So epic! I also found Devin Townsend. Check out Deadhead Live at the Albert Hall. 🤘🤘 Sons of Winter and Stars from the same rehearsal studios is next on the list.

[@bobsuisse2]

Don't forget Blind Guardian 🎉😂

[@PeeVee1979]

I kinda had a feeling you might like it. 😅 Without reaction videos I don't know if I would've ever found them. Even in Finland you don't hear Wintersun on the radio and I'm lazy to discover new music by myself. For me this song is easily in my top3. So far you've only scratched the surface. There's still Amorphis, Battle Beast, Poets of the Fall, Sonata Arctica to discover, and that's just to name a few. Love what you're doing with your channel, I'd say that this might be my favorite reaction channel at yhe moment.

[@ttirinen]

Suomessa ei soiteta kun ehkä pari vanhaa NW ja Amorphisia ja niitäkin vähän🙄

[@PeeVee1979]

@@ttirinen Samat rallit niissä soi. Mää olen siirtynyt lähes kokonaan podcasteihin, radiota ei selvinpäin tahdo jaksaa. Samat biisit ja paskat mainokset pauhaa kaikenaikaa.

[@progoholic]

"Nightwish, Epica, and Wintersun... is a great path!" Amen, brother. Nailed it. Just found your reaction, as I was reminded, earlier that day, how awesome this band is and searched for reactions I haven't seen yet. Excellent job, thank you... New subscriber here. 🤘👍🤘

[@RonniePeterson]

I remember when you said you could not remember Kai's name during a Nightwish reaction and I said, the "Time" will come for WINTERSUN. In my opinion the greatest band ever that so many have never heard of. Thank you for helping to spread the word, they deserve to be heard.

[@riittasihvonen2011]

Jari, the singer/composer played all the instruments in a backtrack and his VOICE only having the other lung removed due to having TB.

[@hajovelt3083]

And don''t forget Sabaton!

[@HWaii]

Great you unlocked the liking-harsh-vocals-skill. 🙂 So now you are ready for the next quest. Check out the following bands 😁😁🤘 *Arch Enemy* kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqTYmZmFeZyYo6c and *Jinjer* kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYKxpXqlgph5jLc Kai is a machine! In Nightwish he must be bored sometimes. But recently he wrote about the recording of the new Nightwish album that there is some complicated stuff to play. So I am really looking forward!

[@philiphind7830]

The nightwish hole is now a meteor crater lol

[@Gibbetoo]

great song. edit: bassist is in Nightwish too.

[@briandahyman1126]

Jari🖤 Land of snow and sorrow is my fav Wintersun song🤘

[@rianavermeulen4316]

[@WNYretiree]

Glad you have finally discovered Wintersun.

[@markoruotsalainen5480]

Och f....! Wait until you hear Sons of winter and stars. Youre gonna love it. A masterpiece

[@pen7759]

What a great reaction ! They all are great musicians. Kai and Jukka( bass) are now both members of Nightwish. Next time, I hope that you could do Son of Winter and Stars from Wintersun. Thank you for doing this epic song, and I´m glad you enjoyed it. Greets from Finland, take care.

[@HaecceitasQuidditas]

Funnily enough, I just thought earlier today that I may have to recommend Wintersun to you. But now I don't have to. 😄

[@abdenassererraoui2533]

Absolutely my favorite band, I discovered them by luck three years ago, I always go back to listen to there songs, this song and loneliness are my favorite, please do it next.

[@Hexen555]

Sons of winter and stars! Please!

[@PittDaddy]

It's amazing what we miss listening to American radio. Even Sirius MX doesn't play this. Europe and Asia have so much incredible music to hear.

[@birrextio6544]

There are more side tracks in thst rabbit hole, for exanple Sabaton where Floors husband Hannes play drums.

[@aleksanderli1]

Their music chews you, swallows, than spit out. And after that, You feel like the most happy and musically fulfilled person in the world. 😂

[@thehyperdragon]

I don't know if anyone has already mentioned this to you, but Jari (Vocalist, guitarist, and mastermind of Wintersun) is actually missing half of one of his lungs due to issues with TB. And he can still pull all of this off! The man is an absolute legend!

[@fernandorodrigues1939]

This song is amazing the band is amazing. you should listen to the band Amorphis good song to start is the bee!

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Yes. The Bee is amazing.

[@black4pienus]

This band is something else... I only started to listen to them a couple days ago and just WOW!

[@theglanconer6463]

Listening to Wintersun I feel the cold polar wind caressing my bones. I just love it !!! our American brethren getting into European metal. Keep up the great work good sir !

[@as400techman]

A couple of years ago I went to see Wintersun supporting Epica. What a night!!! It was just as good as the night I went to see Epica supported by Eluveitie. Listen to Eluveitie's song Inis Mona to start yourself on the Eluveitie journey. Let's face it, who can resist a band that includes the usual stuf, plus penny whistles, bagpipes and a hurdy gurdy etc.

[@rnowak85]

Hurdy Gurdy's rule!

[@tuijakarttunen9164]

Better than good, isn`t it? Next, Sons of winter and stars from the same rehearsals, please? The lead vocalist, Jari Mäenpää, actually lost part of his other lung due to tuberculosis in 2003 while in the army.

Great Daniel, Wintersun is next to Nightwish my two favourite Finnish bands. In this You also see Jukka Koskinen on bass who now is a full member of Nightwish replacing Marko. Wintersun is still a project. Other Finnish bands worth checking is Tarot which is Marko's former band and Stratovarious.

[@ThomasKelly669]

I enjoyed that, It has a Mike Oldfield feel about it, and that’s not a bad thing 🫡🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@black4pienus]

Metal is my favorite genre, but I listen to all types of music. I love 90's hiphop for instance. Love WuTang and Cypress Hill. As you get older your taste in music evolves. You're more open to other styles and less influenced by peers.

[@juhajyrala9367]

Greeting`s from Finland. Nice reaction. 😎

[@Lobogo311]

uf uf nice...next level is THERION!!!!😁😁😁

[@monicacarolina6480]

😂😂 Your face haha. contrast with voices is so good. Shadows Fall (USA) has the same (guitarist plays with Anthrax now) I could not listen for hours to screaming, but the mix of beauty and rawness in music is gorgious. Wolfheart is another Finnish band you might like.Kai, our human metronome, is killing it , as always :)

[@louisminten7889]

It was about TIME!!!!!!!😁

[@nirppurotta]

Wintersun is awesome. Sadly Jari takes his time ( no pun intended) to put out new music. While we are waiting, check out Insomnium. Finnish band also. Very melodic death metal. They are one of the best in their genre ❤. Growls and clean vocals now, with Jani Liimatainen ( ex-Sonata Arctica) onboard. Highly recommended ❤️

[@wjl2601]

Somewhere in the middle probably one of the most beautiful guitar duet solo's I've heard in a long, long 'time'! After sailing through the more melodic metalgenres some real challenges are waiting for you. Still to discover or react to a few European famous metal bands like Gojira, Opeth, Rammstein and Jinjer I wish you good luck en lots of fun.

[@thomasorn8009]

The new album from Nightwish, not yet released as the recordings still not finished, will be one hell of a ride! I have heard the demos and it is kicking as!

[@jonasw5050]

The word you`re seeking for is " epic".

[@markdownen4109]

Also, Amorphis, Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Kalmah! Thank you Finland!

[@alastairmcintyre4752]

Don't know why but every time I watch this video it VISUALLY makes me think of a mash up between Nightwish , Edgar Winter and Sabaton - just the way my warped mind works because it's nothing like any of them musically 🤷‍♂😂

[@Rackelhane]

Hahahahaha..Great reaction!!!!

[@stuartcollins82]

Cant wait for the reaction to sons of winter and stars, from the same session.....

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

A true pleasure experiencing new music isn’t it? Nice reaction.

[@ceciellepeters4696]

Next Within Temptation haha mindblowing band from The Netherlands,and Anouk a rockchick from the netherlands is epic too

[@carolinestirland3126]

You can imagine the pyrotechnics accompanying this on stage. Fantastic

How about some Ensiferum and Turisas 😂🇫🇮🦁🍻

[@Pappa_66]

Thank you bro thank you ❤💪 "Sons of Winter and Stars" next, if you wanna see The real beast😍😈The base player is also In Nightwish since Marko left. Jari's voice and guitar, amazing! And Teemu matching his guitar To The sound is a match made In Heaven. Jukka is maybe The most "laid back" basist. If you pay attention, this is like warm up for him💪😍. I could recommend like 100 absolute amazing bands just From Finland😮😢😂. Just say when you are ready❤💪 Best Regards from Finland!!

[@donaldhodges6229]

And ofcourse Jukka the bassist here is now in Nightwish along with Kai. Jari is fantastic.

I am requesting a look at EVERGREY they are a Swedish progressive metal band Tom has a very unique voice set against the metal music guitar heavy King of Errors Passing through Weighlesss are from the earlier years Where August Mourns Eternal Nocturnal Midwinter calls are later are from the last 2 albums all greT. Using from their YT channel they are working on album Number 14 They do play in small venues in the USA I think they may have a small following there

[@kuunteletkokuuletko40]

What a piece of Art 🖤 and the Drums 🖤🤘🖤 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

[@JayTor2112]

It's hard to put Wintersun into a genre. There are elements of symphonic, progressive, thrash, death, black, and power metal all combined. Jari is another Finnish musical priodigy, the only complaint about him people have is he takes too long to put out music, three albums in almost 20 years. And some accuse him of not delivering on promises with a crowd funded studio he built, but he has a lot of stuff in the works to be released "soon" apparently. His previous band Ensiferum is also worth checking out, stuff from their first two albums with Jari in the band.

[@ttirinen]

When in Finland...Amorphis next🤭

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

I'm waiting to see if Tuomas makes use of Jukka's vocal skills in the new Nightwish album

[@shereengonzalez1911]

Me too! Even if Tuomas lets him sing and/or growl on just one song, that would be enough to make me happy.

[@evergreendorneymahoning5435]

@@shereengonzalez1911 one thing that has bothered me was that, watching so many videos from the Human Nature tour, not once have I seen anyone from Nightwish introduce Jukka to the fans as Marco used to do with Floor back in 2012 - I felt bad for him as he seemed so ignored on stage at times

Great find. When it comes to metal of non-cookie-cutter variety I always attempt to introduce people to at least these two bands - Wintersun and Jinjer. The usual introduction point for the latter: JINJER - Pisces (Live Session) | Napalm Records
