First Time Reaction | Wintersun - "Time"

[@AileenSenpai]

The fact that Jari has lost part of his lungs still baffles me...I have so much admiration and respect for Jari for not letting his disadvantages stop him for becoming one of the greatest metal vocalists I've ever heard. So much love for Wintersun! I also definitely got my daily workout watching Kai do magic on that drum kit! 😝Thank you for watching with me! ❤🤘

[@RouviA]

You do the best reactions on this KZbin. :)

[@cashewshalom]

I hope you do the last song from same rehearsals Land of Snow and Sorrow. There is also the great Forest Seasons album. Awaken From the Dark Slumber (spring), Forest That Weeps (summer), Eternal Darkness (autumn: the best black metal song for my opinion) and Loneliness (winter: really beautifull). Also first album Wintersun has really great songs like Death and Healing, Starchild, Winter Madness, Sadness and Hate, Beautifull Death and others also. Hope you are well... Peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼

[@Ron-ei5eh]

His best vocal performance for me is on "loneliness"(winter on the forest seasons album. There is so much emotion, pain and feeling and tone in this song that it's the best metal balled (my ten cents)

[@scottchadburn1535]

So glad you enjoyed it, your are so right, it’s like watching magic! Such an incredible song. 😃👏🏻🤘🏻

[@karljensen6768]

Those guys are perfectionist to the bone 🥰🥰 I can not go a day without listening to one or two of their songs. I do also like the Dutch band EPICA very much, and I can recommend you to listen to their live at zenith Paris: consign to obliviance 🥰🥰🥰 A powerfull song about what we do to our earth, for the sake of an income 🤗

[@Admiral_Golbez]

This and Loneliness are both such beautiful songs!

[@ENTPee]

then you must include Jari's early masterpiece LAI LAI HEI in the band ENSIFERUM. Kicks ass, but differently.

[@Kuesel68]

Hi Aileen, don't know if you know but they just released Time II, an absolute fantastic album, you absolutely should react to Silver Leaves, you would love it!

[@rainerc.7606]

Finland has the most heavy metal bands per capita in the whole wide world. 🤘

[@michalkuban9888]

What's incredible for me is that it's not just the metal. Max Payne 2 theme (Kärtsy Hatakka & Kimmo Kajasto) is one of my favourite dark, heavy tracks, so simple yet so powerful. There is just something otherwordly beautiful about Finland.

[@esaedvik]

@@michalkuban9888 Six+ month dark winter does things to people.

[@michalkuban9888]

@@esaedvik They really are Sons of Winter and Stars, huh :D I love night and harsh winters, but 2-3 months is usually well enough for me, after that even I crave a bit of sunlight.

[@Rocker1811]

Thats true!

[@thewildhealer541]

Yes, and Sweden comes second :D

[@keharacek]

I think you would really enjoy Loneliness, it's so beautiful ✨

[@turooja-lipasti9662]

Next is land of snow and sorrow from the same rehearsals and then loneliness lyric video! And this was awesome reaction!

[@AdolfoSalinasP]

This song is very epic masterpiece and every element Is introduce one by one taking it Time for everyone. And Jari Mäenpää Is a genious compossing and playing. I also recommend you "Loneliness (Winter)" From "The Forest Seasons" album. There are 2 Versions: official and acoustic version.

[@Thnielsen85]

"Loneliness (Winter)" is such a beautiful masterpiece! Hits me right in the heart every time!

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

Jaris vocal range and skill, but we have to remember, that he plays very demanding guitar, while singing! A true Metal God!

[@Soloeagle54]

That's the part that baffles me! He's able to play such intricate riffs while singing like that. Ridiculous

[@Dd-cc8ed]

Teemu also is talented and great guitarist....i like his playing tight and clean

[@hufflepuff187]

I would suggest something from their 1st album "Wintersun" (2004): "Winter Madness"...hyperspeed yet atmospheric and the solos are out of this world! Cheers from Germany!

[@Sms135ftw]

Loved Wintersun ever since I heard them as a 12 year old lol which is a long time ago now.... My favorites: Starchild, Battle Against Time, Sleeping Stars, Loneliness (Winter) Acoustic. Thanks for the nice video.

[@SH-zg8zs]

Great reaction Aileen. I really love it when you show such an enthusiasm for absolutely amazing songs like this.

[@christerogren9579]

Like many others I suppose I have always belived that "Stairway to heaven" was the ultimate rocksong, then I heard this for the first time 2 month ago. Now I have a new evening routine, I listening to reactions to this EPIC song maybe 3-4 times every evening, these guys can´t be from planet earth. Thank you Wintersun all all of you who do the reactions!

[@Lloocii]

I was blown away by these guys when I first heard them. The word epic is thrown around all over these days but they truly embody it. The keys with the chord choices really glues it all together.

[@TraktorTarzan]

i dont know many songs from Wintersun, but i do know their song "Beautiful Death" is truly beautiful. Its one of my absolute favourites, cause of how its done

[@Patralgan]

If you love his clean vocals, you absolutely super definitely have to listen his song Loneliness (Winter), it's yet next level. For absolutely killer harsh vocals you go to Eternal Darkness (Autumn). These two songs are my all time favorite songs

[@Kekoapono]

Jari puts his whole soul into the words of the chorus for Time, and its so heartbreaking. I just feel like giving Jari a hug after hearing that chorus. I also want to give him a hug after listening to Loneliness. The man’s been through some very rough times. Thank goodness for him and us that he releases all that pain through his incredible music.

[@stuvius]

My tears always start pouring when I listen to this beautiful song. Love your reactions and you are absolutely stunning!

[@sugoruyo]

Gods of metal. The song Loneliness (Winter) from their album The Forest Seasons is probably right up your alley. Showcases a lot more of Jari's clean vocals and is an absolutely heart-wrenching examination of loss and grief. Bring the tissues.

[@Steven-lb4bl]

Land Of Snow And Sorrow is the other song from this session. Very good and too often overlooked.

[@AxelordSMIJES]

This ☝️

[@KreshDraven6]

Epic masterpiece, excellent reaction. Loneliness is another beautiful and emotional song that shows how great Jari's voice is

[@Northman-from-the-North]

Imagine singing like Jari and at the same time play the guitar. Impressive! 👍🤘🇫🇮

[@Idefixu]

I just came back home from the Nightwish concert in Helsinki. It was great, and Kai Hahto on drums was fantastic, the whole Wintersun section of Nightwish as well. Jukka Koskinen on bass.

[@RangePisteMies]

Nice reaction! Check out Before the dawn, also from Finland😁 Deadsong first maybe?

[@TreyXanthean-c5h]

WinterSun is the most AMAZING Band few have heard. sad really. they are phenomenal!!

[@MountainMetal]

You display your heartbeat?! Subscribed! And you're right. Amazing wall of talent, the whole band, and Jari is from another world to be able to sing like THAT and play these master-level-only compositions. Check out *Winter Madness* from Tuska, from when he still sang and played live. Sound taken from the board and filmed from near the stage from the crowd for a great feeling of being there. Amazing guitar work. More!

[@ThaBeatConductor]

So my best guess from a producer stand-point on the sound in the beginning, because there are a few ways to get that sound. What I think Jari did is make a twinkly synth lead sound that doubled the guitar, recorded and reversed the sound, applied delay then reverb, recorded the reversed lead with delay and reverb, then reversed the whole sound again. Makes this weird swell-up-into-the-note type sound, while being perfectly on time since it's just the same melody. I've used this trick many times. Also, maybe it's time to start on The Forest Seasons album? It's a concept album and a lot of people will say do loneliness - (winter) first, but it's the last song on the album so it doesn't really have as much impact without hearing the songs that come before it first, so you should just do the whole album in order.

[@suzannemartin776]

Thanks for that info. I have wondered about the sound myself.

[@huuhaa5896]

Gotta agree to that whole album thing. Suggested loneliness In case she doesn't want go through whole album and many would like at least that song, myself includedPS. Thanks for the info!

[@Joey_Shepard]

"Time" and especially this version is one of my favourite tracks of all time. Thank you for reacting to it, recently found your channel and I love it :)

[@khahto]

Thank you! ❤️👍😀

[@mohamadrahbar9026]

What a performance. They incredibly are in love with what they do and it's so enjoyable. They do not do music for draw attention or base of everyone's taste in music or being on top of charts. They do it because they enjoy from that kind of music. Wow

[@Matjo7588dk]

Metal music is just so much more. I don't get people that claim to love music but at the same time say they hate metal. Metal has so many layers, its just more. Also Finland is just something else with "this" genre of metal. Story telling and jumping between melodies.. Wintersun are great, and NW who is legendary. have been lucky that every time they need a brilliant musician. they just go to Wintersun, first the drummer, then the bassist.

[@SnakeP1tPoetry]

You will enjoy the "Loneliness" from Wintersun too.

[@andk9270]

Wintersun is just amazing..Love your reaction..🥰😉Thank you

[@michaelbentick8029]

Hi from Michael in Australia. Love these guys. just amazing. They just love what they do. Respect........

[@milton1448]

Must be something in the water in Finland.

[@NaX619]

Holy.. i cant hear this song without chills...

[@MikaTarkela]

I love how much you like them! One of my all-time favorite bands :) The last lines "I - fade away | when time - fades away | somehow always give me chills.

[@miksu29]

This is something else..!

[@guillaumefournier]

Loneliness and Battle against time would be the 2 next. I like what you did with your hair by the way.

[@Dd-cc8ed]

when songs are created from talent, ideas, experience , wisdom and passion it will be beautiful and make a deep impression on the soul....many other metal bands around the world have the talent to create songs beyond the imagination....like Insomnium,dark tranquillity, duskmourn ,deathstar and many more....

[@DarrellW_UK]

In the intro that is a clean Classical guitar tone it’s done by the use of an acoustic pickup like used in an electro acoustic guitar fitted in the bridge of his guitar, if you watch the transition he flicks a switch this is what switches between the two modes. Nice review, it’s interesting to hear more technical analysis! 💖

[@KaiHellmann]

Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

[@Teme_FJT]

Aileen: "I feel like my heart is like to explode" at 80 BPM Me: Wakeing up in a "slight" hangover at 120 BPM - a delicate decrease of functionality,

[@AileenSenpai]

LMFAOO

[@MrAatami]

I used to work at a warehouse at night, go to school in the morning and play World of Warcraft rest of the day. Doctor told me not to drink coffee after she saw 211 bpm "You are running with uncontrolled nuclear power" Three months of caffeine withdrawal, constant headache and wishing for death

[@rizo511]

LOOOOOOOOOOOL

[@mathias6423]

My heartrate after the morning coffee and 3 cheeseburgers hearing this 120 bpm ;D

[@artyommosesov9054]

Such a cute reaction:) thank you

[@timengland91]

I like your reaction and like the drums in this one always lifts you up if you're having a bad day

[@yaelramos52]

You catched it all, u’realy know how to appreciate real art

[@garycooper9956]

This drummer also plays with NIGHT WISH.

[@onibformi3590]

You realy must check out "the forest seasons" album. especially winter.

[@Foreignmonk34]

I recommend checking out their song Loneliness. A ballad masterpiece

[@dhanrajswamy2026]

Lovely...I didn't knew that u got such a deep insight on metal songs...glad I watched ur video...love u bless u all happiness. ❤️

[@AileenSenpai]

Glad you enjoyed it Thank you so much!

[@danielhagstrom2429]

I liked how ur right eyebrow "popped" up when u feel it. Much love 🙏❤️

[@Harrycot555]

Dear Aileen, Wintersun is one of my favourite band ever and only because of the music itself or the band skills. The composition level of Jari is out of the charts and each note has a proper meaning. I could see the same reaction as I had when the chorus came : your eyes became a little bit teary. So much raw emotion in this chorus. Melancholy yet beauty. Lyrics also have quite an impact on this emotional rollercoaster. Awesome and genuine reaction ! I do recommend as everyone do : Loneliness (w/ Lyrics) by them to reach the peak of Jari voice's extend, as this song has a huge deep meaning to him if you're not familiar with the Forest Seasons album concept. Thank you very much, cheers from Tokyo

[@lujalainen1]

this band i love coz when they have good melody in they song,they play that beautiful melody long time. many band have great melody they song and it all go half wasted coz song last only 3-4 min. but in wintersun you can get full dozes that greatness in your ear and mind :) there is still wintersun biggest song left in my mind. loneliness song what jari make when him father die. that song is lyric version,and thats good. i think loneliness song go same super level masterpiece like queen song show must go on or metallica master of puppets. loneliness i definitely think is best funeral song ever made. ok thanx aileen to great reaction and have wonderful new week.

[@AxelordSMIJES]

I have been waiting for this track yessss! And I am sure someone already answered this months ago, but just in case - the pedal they use in the intro to the song is just an acoustic simulator. They're really pretty simple but you can get some pretty incredible sounds out of one if ya know what you're doing lol

[@maxviking3210]

Wonderful reaction! Just love this band. The masters of metal is the nordic countries Finland, Sweden and Norway. My suggestion (if I may) is to do some reactions from the two other countries. I think you have reacted to Sabaton from Sweden.. but I thought I would give you some other suggestions. From Norway I think you should check out the live version of Dimmu Borgir “Gateways” och “Mourning palace” and from Sweden I suggest you listen to Meshuggah (the drum cam videos.. if you like skilled drummers) and Orbit Culture. From the later I think you should look in to the live studio versions.. but it really doesn’t matter which song as Orbit Culture have done only bangers…. :)

[@MadMoses56]

Howdy new to the channel really enjoyed this reaction, Great Smile!!!

[@FrethKindheart]

The whole song is amazing in every aspect, but on top of that his solo was so perfect, probably one of the best solos of all time, in my opinion. And now both the drummer and the bassist are playing with Nightwish, as well as still being a part of Wintersun.

[@MrAatami]

Eternal Darkness The most beautiful song from Wintersun yet, along with Land of snow and sorrow.

[@macio82lordofdark40]

The for me the Best album Wintersun , epic

[@finnishculturalchannel]

Especially these Sonic Pump Studios songs do feel like musical storytelling with a theatre sound in a three dimensional space. The storytelling aspect adds time into the equation and probably influences the vocals too. Their talent and showmanship do have that same appeal as the great magicians or movie directors have-the trickery and illusion is apparent, but the promise of great entertainment is so alluring, that the audience just wants to do their part so they can get on that elevating ride.

[@onearthonelegion]

I N S O M N I U M - While We Sleep

[@cashewshalom]

Agreed! And official video! 🤘🏼

[@esaedvik]

This.

[@BillyTheBigKid82]

These guys are from my homeland.=)

[@ChrisS30097]

You should definitely react to songs from their first album, it's absolutely amazing

[@trevzy91]

Love being along for the ride when people listen to Wintersun songs for the first time, this whole studio recording is a special time be sure to give the other one a listen! (Land of snow and Sorrow). After that I think its got to be the Loneliness lyric video.

[@Sms135ftw]

Aileen please react to Wintersun Time II. The album has just been released and it is amazing.

[@Pikotaro_10]

Wintersun's Time II is out :) I recommend reacting to the entire album 😄

[@KaiHellmann]

Love y and lov y reaction…❤

[@blackdog6969]

Jari was one of my biggest influences when I started learning music, not just the musical prowess but also his humour as well. I also would like a Sauna/Studio in the Finnish woods. I agree with other comments here, Land of Snow and Sorrow is a banger. I'd say check out a lot more in your spare time but that is one for a good reaction if you haven't looked at it already. Just wanted to add how he has talked about how the albums and even individual songs were recorded, mixed and mastered. The mad man would have massive music projects with well over 100 tracks just for atmospherics and effects.

[@flippinchoons]

it reminds me of that "Game of Thrones,Fender" video with nuno,scott ian etc.

[@alanbrown7412]

Thank you so much Aileen for such a brilliant reaction to Wintersun...A favourite band of mine May I suggest.. Land of Snow and Sorrow....a brilliant song from the same rehearsals , and Loneliness. Looking forward to your next reaction Aileen. Really digging your channel. Peace and love from Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘☮️

[@findood8491]

"I feel lie I'm a viking warrio" uh oh.. you start hearing trollish chants in the woods, RUN!

[@jani_koski]

If you like the contrast between growls and clean vocals you should definitely look towards more Finnish bands 😄 I think Amorphis for example does a great job in that field, Tomi's vocals are quite amazing. "The Bee" would be a pretty good song for starters or "The Smoke" where you get even more transitions between growls and cleans in same chorus.

[@finmotoman75]

Wow, you beautiful metal heart ❤ Your heart monitor indicated your pulse to go lower when they started to play harder. 🥰😄😉

[@joshuasilva8026]

Loneliness is such a beautiful song

[@huuhaa5896]

Love your reactions! Great to see how someone really appreciate artists. I think you can't go wrong by selecting what ever song by them next, but... I do hope you eventually listen the forest seasons album, especially loneliness (winter), which Jari wroted after death of his father. One thing to note about the forest seasons album thought. Afaik Jari is playing all instruments on that album, only chorus parts are parts where others were taken part to song. So might be good idea to jump to that album only after reacted all songs you like to from Time I album.

[@iljaginnold1892]

i love your emotional reactions so much ... and, as mentioned by others ... please react to Loneliness... with a bunch of tissues...

[@FireAndDamnation]

Loneliness is another great one.

[@isarlinreyes1842]

Great reaction. Good idea to do the whole forest season album, there are four songs: spring, summer, fall and winter.

[@NickyHC]

Check out Architects new song "When we were young"

[@jukkapenttinen2641]

You can,t get better stuff than this anywhere...🇫🇮🇺🇦

[@Pappa_66]

Thank you wery many❤. Wintersun is still great as ever, even with out Kai and Jukka. "Loneliness". I recomment also Finnish band "Apolyptica" feat. Corey Taylor and many great vocalist. It is a metal band with 3 cellos and a drummer. Earlier they had only 4 cellos and nothing Else. Like when they made a whole album covering Metallica's most popular songs like from the "Puppet Master" album.

[@mikar71]

This is Nightwish after the second best band in Finland

[@danielmcbride2375]

New model army.... angry planet.... I love the world...ballad of bodmin pill. Give them a listen

[@appuv2763]

Loneliness by them next would be nice. Also new band i guess for you is Battle Beast? "Eye of the Storm" maybe or "Black Ninja", "Let it Roar" or maybe "Rain Man". Options are huge.... You're welcome 🤣

[@Nightykk]

What is it.. 4 or 5 songs, lasting the entire length of a regular 45min album. Is great.

[@jarikettunen8602]

Nice reaction. I like to make request for you to react. Insomnium - While we sleep and Dark tranquility - Forward momentum. Both are melodic Death Metal, or i would like to say emotional death metal.

[@QuiveringPotato]

The opening growl on this version sounds better than the studio one to me, lol

[@ingovonderluhe2174]

EPIC!!!!

[@joseguillermonietorojas8854]

Enjoying all your reaction videos so far! I deeply recommend anything from Meshuggah. Thomas Haake is a machine on the drums! There's a few drum-cam video of him like the reaction you did on Danny Carey from Tool. Specially the one playing "Bleed" is awesome. Also check out anything from Eloy Casagrande (Sepultura's drummer), that guy is a beast! A truly heavy hitter! Thanks for sharing your reaction videos again!

[@kanervatie]

I think you'd like "Loneliness", it's not fast, but it's touching you inside.

[@Starlingus]

Hi! I think u really need to check out Amorphis and Insomnium. And if u think Jari is great with growling and pure vocals, u need to hear Tomi Joutsen from Amorphis

[@keijovalikangas2126]

You are so good....

[@mattikaze2918]

Ensiferum is also a great band to look into (Jaris former band) Iron is my favorite by them. They do a cover of Master of Puppets that is completely nutballs

[@zyrphath]

Find you someone to settle down with who looks at you like Aileen looks at Jari :-D

[@search_eternal]

Check out the band Beyond Creation and their song Omnipresent Perception. You will not be disappointed. You you like Bass you will love this song, even has a Bass solo.

[@miksu29]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@wardle2007]

Would love to see your reaction to sleep token, unreal vocals....drumming, slipknot style masks a huge rabbit hole of songs you'd delve into but a good introduction to them is the offering

[@Zyklonite]

Beethoven 1800's. Wintersun 2020's.

[@Rawcnc]

You should definitely check out Orbit culture with the song SAW for example, you will love it!

[@pawelsjogard617]

She would love it! Melodic and riff heavy, a Metallica 2.0 if you will. ;)
