[@riverdragon17]

Kai has the sweet double duty. Drummer for both Nightwish and Wintersun...A monster!

[@stebu66]

Don`t forget. He was in Swallow The Sun too.

[@zyrphath]

"I hope this will be a very epic song" Jari & Kai: *laughs in 3000 different melodies played on 18 guitars and 5 drumsets at once*

[@Jbcross7]

Two more songs are missing, "Time" and "Land of snow and sorrow" in sonic pump studios ..... amazing songs too

[@alexzenteno1]

HG OD Time

[@sjc9121]

This is pure precious metal from Finland! The drummer (Kai Hahto) plays now in Nighwish.

[@Ricamros]

If you like Kai's drumming, you may be interested in this video where he teaches you a few parts from that song while completely downplaying his skills. It's awesome, and I would like to hear a drummer's reaction to it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiwk3t-nMyUZ5o

[@d34d10ck]

What he shows in "Show me ... your warm-up routine, Kai Hahto" is far more interesting to me. His limb independence in this video if off the chains.

[@Helgimar1980]

The most impressive is Jari doing that with half a lung.

[@124Spider5]

The drumer Kai Hato is nowadays the NigthWish drumer.

[@timomastosalo]

Yeah. More exactly, the drummer's last name is Hahto - a bit like Jajto in Spanish

[@erwinmulder1338]

Thanks for doing my suggestion so soon. Kai is a beast, I only discovered Wintersun because of him joining Nightwish. Jari (the lead vocalist) writes everything. He's known to take his time though. He writes like one album per decade. 😂

[@Oryxxx]

Next song TIME, same band , same rehearsal!

[@Immortall1408]

And Kai still finds a moment to smile at the camera :-) Fleshgod Apocalypse - Violation - it is a very apt name for this song :D

[@Always-fd7pk]

Finnish excellence! Jari is a genius, he's right up there with Tuomas when it comes to composing jaw-dropping masterpieces :) Please do "Time" from the same rehearsal-session next! Edit: Regarding genre: Jari calls it Epic Metal^^

[@timlubbers2884]

The style of this music is: Finnish lullaby

[@Neocoolzero]

This is why I love watching reactions. I learned about this band from watching and reading people coments on other videos, and ofc I had to coment on here aswell for you guys to listen to this. It's a very good way to learn about bands we otherwise would not hear of. Having said that, and after you guys have been flabbergasted by every single member of this band, they have 2 more songs at this recording session, Time and Land of snow and Sorrow, go check that out :)

[@ortti8397]

If we Finns ever go to war again, i think we gonna play this when we march to war.. Wintersun - Time at Sonic Pump Studios

[@Jklak100]

Ort Ti - Yess,... YESS ,.... 😅 👍

[@mattphillips2530]

As if anyone could get past all those landmines 😆

[@snooks5607]

march? today's kids? hah.

[@ellenhunt8767]

Well Kai knows a ton of technique. I'd wager that minimizes some of the energy that he has to expend. Obviously not to the point that he won't sweat like a race horse, but it would keep his stamina up for those long songs like this, PnP and TGSOE. I do miss Jukka's passion. It's just unbridled, but you can still tell Kai loves to play. There is a drum cam of him playing Ghost Love Score and yea. Insane.

[@2727rogers]

For your next Wintersun reaction either try Time or The Land of Snow and Sorrow.

[@satyrcreekergang4985]

Loneliness is another amazing song by Wintersun. The lyric video is great.🤘🇺🇸🇩🇰🤘

[@oskarstrom4034]

Great reaction guys. Dude on the left knows his stuff. Try the first album by Wintersun and also the first album by Ensiferum, featuring the same lead singer/guitarist/songwriter, the mighty Jari Mäenpää. Those are two of my favourite records of all time, and there are no bad songs on either of them so just dive in. Good luck :)

[@Wolf-hr7cu]

All Hail Kai F...ing Hatho 🤘💪

[@Albatrossi]

Wintersun - Time (at Sonic Pump Studios)

[@wondertimomusic8029]

This is a good warmup to their masterpiece "Time"

[@Green-Lyon]

What a performance. Kai must have lost 10 pounds during this song!

[@vmaxbabe]

Thanks so much for this reaction! I never heard of Wintersun either and liked it a lot! I’m not fond of growling either but they changed it up enough to keep the total song interesting. Instrumentally they are awesome. I started loving prog.rock in the 70’s. These change-ups make it very exciting to listen too. Same as Nightwish, you never kmow what’s coming. Thanks for choosing this video. Oh, the genre is called melodic deathmetal ( if I translated it correctly from wikipedia).

[@martijnvanzuilen941]

Saw these guys live on tour with Arch Enemy (headliner), Jinjer and Tribulation. Wintersun played the roof of the avenue....

[@Sp0cka]

Welcome to the world of Wintersun! Really enjoyable reaction my dudes, earned yourself a sub! Would love to see you check out more of them, they got two more videos from the same live rehearsal at Sonic pump studio; "Time" and "Land of snow and sorrow". Peace.

[@satyrcreekergang4985]

Kai playing for Nightwish must feel like a vacation after this.😜🇺🇸🇩🇰😜

[@qayaki]

Absolute masterpiece.

[@annabialko2599]

I love this song so much. It worth the 14 minutes

[@simeik]

Did anyone else notice the bassplayer has a "Norther" wrist sweatband? I have to dig them up :D

[@jukkakiiskinen6514]

He is former bass player of norther

[@cashewshalom]

Next step would be other two songs from same rehearsals... Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼

[@anke1237]

Epic Performance 😳👂🤘

[@ianyoung8482]

Great channel guys, that's why I subbed you. Could you please play Time by Wintersun. Thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@mindsofthefuture6488]

We Gotcha!! May be a couple days!🤘🏻

[@robertcraane7910]

TRy Ayreon - The day that the world broke down... very much about the situation of the world right now!

[@Doppeldropper]

🙂🤘 ...and the other great songs worth checking out from WS: "Loneliness", "Land of snow and sorrow (live studio version), "Time" and "Forest that weeps" 🤗

[@matthewkolb1694]

That was fun to watch, lost count of how many stink-faces you made. This truly is a masterpiece, at some point listen to the album version on your own. The layering of melodies is a bit more distinguishable, often times 4 separate melodies overlapping. I don't think Jari (lead vocal/composer/etc) records anything that isn't epic.

[@zahrans]

Best listen to the remastered versions of the albums. Jari himself admitted that he wasn't entirely satisfied with the original mastering.

[@Bonehead777]

Just an awesome band. Nuff said.

[@darkraven9007]

Hey try out a New Zealand band called Alien Weaponry. They are a metal band but some of their song are in Te reo, this means they sing in the another language so you will need to look them up before. The first one you should look into is called Kai Tangata, watch the video with it as it will have more impact, I think you will like them a bit and yes they do sing in English too. It’s two brothers with a family friend as the third, they are young, one is 20 and the other two are 18, they started when they were only 10 I think???

[@muumiveikko]

Greetings from Finland, this was tasty :)

[@milo20060]

Haha and now they have been making Time 2 album for like how long?? Very good indeed.

[@thapsus1]

Thank you for doing this epic and pretty hard to listen at first - song. I’m so glad you liked it. Even when there is growls. 😀 It’s, um, melodic folk power death metal. But Jari himself says it’s Extreme Majestic Technical Epic Melodic Metal. Time Land of snow and sorrow Loneliness For starters. Less growling in these ones. 😀

[@metsienkarpaasi]

Wintersun - Time (Live @ Sonic Pump Studios)Next,epic! ;)

[@AbsoluteApril]

this song is TASTY!

[@birrextio6544]

See the drum cam of this song, it's stunning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppCmf6asi62hers The mix of the sound from the drum cam and the others is a bit off sync in the end, but just dig the drums.

[@ntak8262]

I love you reaction 🤣👊❤️🙏🏻🇫🇮

[@jukkahelminen9071]

Nice you got this so soon. Wintersun is really good band, skill, skill, skill... There is in KZbin also drum cam video about this song, Kai Hahto showing his skill :D . He is a robot, and like Floor, never mistakes! So, when Nightwish have now Floor - worlds best female metal vocalist and then they have Kai - some considering he is this moment world´s best metal drummer... Kai has been very busy with Nightwish, so he haven´t had time to Wintersun. Two last tours Wintersun has had other drummers and what I have heard - they played more simple way... :D . I don´t wonder why, it might be really difficult to duplicate Kai´s drumming :D I saw already several suggestions to song Time from this same rehearsal, I will also suggest that. From that rehearsal, you can find three songs and they are all from their second album. That album has only 5 songs. So, after you have done these three rehearsal video, you have heard more than half from that second album (Time 1). Jari´s music making process is very similar than Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish. Both hear music in their heads and then try to wrote it down to the band. After listening little more Wintersun, you might look some other Finnish metal bands like Amorphis and Insomnium. But maybe now first few Wintersun songs?

[@muumiveikko]

This is something else :)

[@mrjarna]

Nice one guys. Next one wintersun: loneliness

[@Samfekt]

Symphonic folk metal basically

[@kenthos1]

Wintersun is melodeath, aka melodic death metal.

[@jokat872]

Kai Hahto. He's also a drum teacher 😄

[@duhni4551]

Except everyone is too intimidated to go to his class =D "Hi, i am Kai, i play in Nightwish and Wintersun, oh yeh, i am also a God, nice to meet you" =D

[@Alithia451]

Finally a good band! .. they could open for Poppy.

[@lekalla]

I love your sarcasm.

[@black4pienus]

Still got my fingers crossed you can do an golden earring video. Best songs imo to react to: Radar Love. When a Lady Smiles. Another 45 Miles. Twilight Zone. And if you're very brave... No, maybe you should check this on out without cam: Love is a Loser.

[@matthewkolb1694]

Opeth 'Ghost of Perdition' live at Red Rocks

[@Doppeldropper]

For new discoveries, based on these comments, check out another Finnish metal band Norther and their songs "Everything" and "Nothing" 🙂

[@mattphillips2530]

I want to see them do Can't Stop Fighting by Velcra

[@hannadegerlund3227]

SISU Metal 👊

[@mattphillips2530]

Wasn't there a band called Perkele?

[@kanervatie]

There is a drum cam of Kai doing his thing on this song.

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

It sounds like the younger brother wants to hear some speed and thrash metal. He likes the energy of the instruments but no so much the growl. That's more or less the main difference between Wintersun and say a band like Iron Maiden.

[@metalfan9000]

Time metal, is what Wintersun does. Atavistia is another example, they were inspired by, and sound alot like Wintersun.

[@black4pienus]

Oh mised this one. You look almost a month younger in this video. Amazing! jk You should do a 'Yes or Trash' segment with new band. Trash will bever return. Yes, will. With other tracks.

[@jamespratt9012]

You guys should check out Emperor Curse you all men live at waken. And I personally would say Wintersun are closer to Emperor than CoF , as for guitar work drums and vocally

[@robertcraane7910]

Judas Priest - Painkiller for even crazier drums....

[@sjc9121]

And next: Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoawqH-ue7N-iZI

[@markschattefor6997]

Check out this interview with Kai; kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWiwlnZtoqejqM0 He's not crazy, but a highly skilled musician. The crazy ones are the ones who think hipsy hopsy ghetto rapcrap should be called music.

[@teme007]

It is symphonic post-apocalyptic reindeer-grinding Christ-abusing extreme war pagan fennoscandian metal
