Wintersun: The Forest That Weeps - REACTION!

We're back! But with a twist this time. Thank you all for your patience. Though in reality I'm really just taking your lack of awareness and apathy towards my existence and construing it into patience. This is called delusions of grandeur. I think. I can't be bothered to look it up. Either way, I hope you enjoy the video! Feels good to be back.

Every songs of Wintersun takes me to adventures, that's how powerful their music is! Just close your eyes and let your imagination do the job😎. Fan forever 🤘

[@AnssiKoskinenFI]

This album is just amazing. All Wintersun albums are amazing and im really looking forward for the next reaction. Hopefully its not going to take this long :p

[@JuniioMusic]

haha I'll do the best I can here, no promises though. I'm sure eventually I'll listen to every single Wintersun song.

[@tarmotyyri6733]

Great reaction/analysis s always. Made me happy to hear that you also like this band from my home country Finland. And yes, you're at the center of the Universe since I created it like that. P.S. Did you know that Jari (the main composer/lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist of Wintersun) is missing part of his lungs due to tuberculosis he got while serving his compulsory military service in the Finnish army.

[@JuniioMusic]

haha well then I applaud you for your excellent design. And I actually didn't know that, but that just makes him even more badass \m/

[@janusvb]

In the intro the time signature of the 'music' (git / bass) is 3/4, while drums play a 2/4. That gives the 'overall' rhythm a kind of endless feeling. A good choice and one of the most striking musical aspects of the start of this song.

[@JuniioMusic]

that's super cool!

[@marianneronnholm3711]

Hi! Check out the document of making of the Forest Seasons!

[@JuniioMusic]

will do!

[@marianneronnholm3711]

And Happy New Home!

[@JuniioMusic]

Thanks :)

[@Rebella1337]

great video! good to see you back! looks like there are great things in the works for you c: can't wait to see you react more to Wintersun ^^ It is true that at least Eternal Darkness and Loneliness is some of the best work Jari's ever done, in my opinion, however, from the rest of their discography there are many many many songs that are on that level. I love every single Wintersun song. If I were to make a tier list, like most of their songs would be in god tier, and the rest in S tier. Haha

[@JuniioMusic]

haha thanks, I hope so! And I'm sure that eventually I'll react to every single Wintersun song, they've all been at LEAST S-tier so far.

[@futtbux]

I’m down for the whole wintersun ride \m/

[@JuniioMusic]

[@lovemetal4884]

[@JuniioMusic]

That's so awesome! Most ambitious crossover event haha

[@Yosef1952]

Juni, bro! You're back!! And how cool about your move, etc. I like your new digs. And I wish you HUGE success. As far as the video goes, I like the singing Vikings. Very cool, ethereal number that rocks nicely. Good stuff indeed. Nifty analysis, as usual. I've been chugging a lot of Dimmu Borgir, Wheel, and Mastodon lately. There are so many good Wheel numbers in particular. Egad are they good.

[@JuniioMusic]

Thanks homie, that is appreciated \m/ Dimmu Borgir is great, I'll have to check out Wheel sometime!

[@cashewshalom]

Really good reaction and analysis! Man... you have not reacted to Amorphis yet. I would like to suggest you to react The Bee official lyric video. Please and peace 🙏😎✌️

[@JuniioMusic]

True, I'll see if I can get to it soon!

[@muumiveikko]

Guitar solos reminds me of Iron Maiden wich is a good thing :)

[@Boss-zo7us]

Hi juniio you now reacted to the ( summer ) song of this album Now it's time to react : Wintersun - awaken from the dark slumber ( spring ) so epic! its from this masterpiece four seasons album Its the last song to you in this album , Just complete the others season

[@nikokortstrom3772]

Btw here's some footage from Wintersun showing those vikings recording this chorus :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6TGcn6qj9lrZqsm50s

[@jesse9538]

Hey man. I highly recommend you check out Ne Obliviscaris. They are on the same level of musicianship as these guys with a lot of depth to their songs and a lot of moving parts. The best song I'd recommend that probably has some of the most depth to it, both musically and lyrically, is 'Tapestry of the Starless Abstract'. Imo, it's their best song and it's an extremely underrated one. If you'd rather do the song that everyone does (which is also an amazing song), check out 'And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope'. And if you absolutely need a video to react to as well, the only song they have with a video is 'Intra Venus'

[@7enebriss837]

And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope would be something I would pay to see as well if my ass wasn't broke.

[@jesse9538]

@@7enebriss837 Dont get me wrong. I love And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope.. And while, instrumentally it's an extremely strong song, vocally it doesn't showcase what they can do. The intro, and the flamenco pieces are fantastic and all, but I think there are songs that do a better job of showing just what they can do. That said, any NeO song is a masterpiece.

[@7enebriss837]

@@jesse9538 Well said

[@JuniioMusic]

True man, I actually already did 'And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope' but I'll add 'Tapestry of the Starless Abstract' to the to-do list!

[@jesse9538]

@@JuniioMusic Oh shit, my bad haha. I'll have to go back and check that video out :p.

[@Melodic-Metal]

Wintersun could create a religion

[@msvrk123]

You should definitely try some God is An Astronaut and If these Trees can talk (great Post Rock bands)

[@ravenwda007]

Glad too see you’ve made changes is your life for the better. If you like black metal check out Carach Angren. Lammendam a very solid album.

[@JuniioMusic]

Thanks! And I have enjoyed Carach Angren in the past, I'll have to revisit them sometime!

[@keithmorrissey3848]

Neurosis - Stones From The Sky

[@JuniioMusic]

It's on the to-do list

[@janusvb]

Wintersun also looks a bit like the Dutch band 'Heidevolk', with the latter being a bit more 'for the people'. Similarities: Interest in nature, Viking history, folk things and harmonious metal singing. Wintersun is a bit further than Heidevolk in terms of musical and sound technology. Heidevol is a bit easier accessible. And last but not least: Thanks for another interesting reaction!

[@JuniioMusic]

I'll have to check out band sometime! Got any song recommendations? And thanks, glad you enjoyed the video \m/
