[@RonniePeterson]

One of the greatest bands that many will never ever discover.

[@karljensen6768]

So true 🥰 I do my very best to tell as many reactors about them 🤗🤗

[@Esmeagolly]

This! I’ve been listening since time I came out, and never stopped loving them since.

[@metalmanny666]

@@Esmeagolly I’ve been listening to them since 2005. They’re an experience. We love you Jari

[@Esmeagolly]

The one of the most impressive things is that the singer Jari lost half of a lung due to tuberculosis from his military days. And still has that range and control of vocals. The man is a genius

[@suzannemartin776]

Thank you for reacting to Wintersun. It is the dream brought to fruition of Jari Mäenpää (seen here as lead singer/guitarist). Wonderful to see someone listen to this who really 'feels' it. The song Time, from the same rehearsal is also epic. Personally I like it even better but just my taste (slightly shorter lol).

[@pro-v7500]

Time is great, I also like it more than this track (still enjoy this one tho)

[@CDMS_pt]

I'm getting old, this song already have 10 years. I feel like it was yesterday. One of my old favourite bands. By the way the singer don't have a part of a lung, amazing singer.

[@sabina0013]

Glad you liked it, I'm doing the happy dance! My countrymen from Finland knows their stuff! There are two more from Sonic pump studios, "Time" and "Land of snow and sorrow" that maybe are worthy of your time?

[@pro-v7500]

Fun fact: the drummer, Kai Hahto, has been the drummer for Nightwish since 2015 on all recordings and tours. The original drummer, Jukka Nevalainen, was the drummer you’ve seen during the Wacken 2013 show but had to step down due to medical reasons and asked Kai to replace him in 2015. So you’ve seen Kai drum for Nightwish in Wembley (2015) and Buenos Aires (2018). This bassist, Jukka Koskinem, has also joined Nightwish this past year to replace Marko Hietala as a session player for touring. Nothing official has been announced as a full member.

[@reuben8190]

Kai Hahto said “After the rehearsals (Endless forms most beautiful album by Nightwish), my muscles ached like hell. We had played for hours and I realized that playing with Nightwish was much more physical than with some other bands. With Wintersun, for example, I didn’t have to move my arms so much. Fortunately, I realized early on that if I’d start banging like a maniac right from the get-go, I’d be dead by mid-set”. The bassist is the current bassist of Nightwish, after Marco left the band. Wintersun is a great band. Jari the singer of Wintersun was the singer of Ensiferum, another great band from Finland.

[@ThaBeatConductor]

I always felt Jukka's drumstyle would be very exhausting. He plays big and showy like an 80's drummer.

[@boou26]

They are f.....g awesome. Please react to "Time" from the same rehearsal. Greetings from Sweden

[@suzannemartin776]

Yes Time please :D

[@bea7719]

They are amazing♥️

[@bea7719]

And thanks for reacting🤘

[@liisagawley2053]

Such great musicians! Finland has more metal bands per capita than anywhere else in the world.

[@mattphillips538]

A Boss AC-3 accoustic simulator pedal will give you that exact sound. I also found that a two band compressor with a lot of comp on the high end and less on the low will do it too if you set the crossover freq just right. Great reaction bro, this stuff rips

[@galadballcrusher8182]

Piezo bridges, they work like individual magnets under each string near the bottom point of tying them....often used on accoustic guitars as mic. Guessing used in an electric guitar it gives a better sound than the magnets specially without distortion.

[@marinaa.6140]

🤘🇫🇮 "Time", please!

[@siddni_]

Yes Time, Time, Time!

[@miractokgoz3553]

Pls do more of Wintersun, good work!

[@R---66---R]

High-Art! Such control...the brain, the muscles, accuracy, tone, overall sound mixing, pre-programmed stuff, belief, collaboration, studio-surroundings, high range instrumentation, composition...you name it all...it's here! So, so impressive/museum-worthy!

[@metalmanny666]

Very well constructed thoughts. I totally agree

[@sjc9121]

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

[@pen7759]

Greets from Finland. I´m glad you found Wintersun, as new sub I hope we meet again with WS. Take care.

[@obud3777]

Drummer Kai Hahto and bassist Juka Koskinen are playing in Nightwish!

[@Dipper737]

"The forest that weeps" is a masterpiece as well as "Time" and "Loneliness"

[@rooster_205]

An ol medal headed country boy like me huh...lol. Great reaction! Epic band and song.. Fantastic musicians! New sub here

[@samihuotari8264]

To better understand what Kai is doing in this song, you should watch the following videos: Drum cam kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmnCgZeriLCBjbc and Licks and Tricks with Kai Hahto kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHiwk3t-nMyUZ5o

[@karljensen6768]

Like a man doing a marathon in 14 minutes 😄

[@ntak8262]

This is crazy, This is party 🎉 and also I like Käärijä

[@pavolridrich3434]

Everytime I hear this song I remember "Children Of Bodom" ... which is great thing, because it is/was amazing band

[@clivematthews5296]

Bear in mind that Kai has added 5 extra toms for the latest Nightwish album especially track called Tribal and he is naturally left handed but plays a right handed kit with additional false high hat. If you listen to Nightwish playing The Islander at Tampere 2015, Marko plays a twin neck with acoustic sounding six string.

[@robertcraane7910]

Myyfavorite drummer will always be Ginger Baker, but this guy, phooo!

[@arnaldotanta3630]

My top 3: John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Neil Peart .🤘🤘

[@zynius]

They are using piezo pickups on the guitars for the "acoustic" sound.

[@gnomche]

Kai: delivers absolut blast drum perfomance. (He is top tier after all) Tomas Haake: hold my bleed....

[@marcfromparis333]

Hi ! Nice reaction. About the next song I suggest "Time" also at Sonic Pump Studio 🤘

[@stpftw1]

check out the drumcam from this song its even more impressive than what you see/hear here.

[@christhompson4161]

It's peizo pickup of some sort he throws a switch to get acoustic thing

[@mailen5187]

Wintersun is one of my fav Bands I’m glad you also enjoyed this. And specially, Kai’s drumming. He surely is a Human Metronome, like you said. There is btw a Drum Cam footage on You Tube where Kai is hammering this very song. I highly recommend you to take a look at it. He's absolutely incredible behind his drum kit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpPFaaBprLOLmNU

[@Pave999]

Time II D-55 😉

[@ntak8262]

🤣❤️👊🇫🇮👏🏻✨💥

[@kokkolintu3528]

React to Brymir, please? :)

[@qayaki]

Great reaction, thank you. Wintersun and Nightwish are great bands from Finland. We have some others too, if you don't know Wolfheart, you can check out their song Zero Gravity. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4K7Ya2aeNR0rqc

[@ortti8397]

And the lead singer lost 25% of his lung for tuberculosis in his military time....

[@haileezv6660]
