He still is. Kai is enganged in two bands. Just as Marko from Nightwish.... I love both bands dearly. Nightwish wins me with elaborate wordcraft and masterfully created ensenbles and songwriting, Wintersun wins me with the powerful, ferocious energy that somehow makes me long after something I cannot quite define. Both bands make me cry at times (Shoemaker from Nightwish and this very song from Wintersun). Both are equal to me. Equally masterful in their own ways.

I think I've listened to this song 3-4 times today (aaaand it never gets old) by different reaction youtube channels. A couple voice coachs, and a former cinema composer who picked apart all the fine orchestral nuances and said their music was cinema worthy. And now this channel, just because I absolutly love seeing people discover Wintersun for the first time, 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 phenominally flawless. And wonderful Kai.. blast beats for days! These channels focus mainly on analysing the beauty of the music itself, yet they are missing out on the incredibly talented lyrical content...the choir and operatic elements. 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 ever hear in metal.

This was one of the first "harder" metal songs i heard and i was instantly in love with it, i listened to Blind Guardian and Metallica in school when i drifted into the rock/metal crowd and they introduced me to metal. Good times. I can appreciate the beauty in all genres because if you only listen to one genre you miss so much in life. Every music has its place, every mood has its music. I listen to everything that is good doesnt matter if it is electronic, edm, harder techno/drum n bass, 80s rock (my favorite, 80s music in general) even rap sometimes when it is a good song. And i love classical music too. Greetings from Germany!

He is as exact as an atomic clock. Snoop around a bit here on YT Tank, you can find a fairly good number of drum cam videos with Kai. Cheers / B.

2 more songs from that same studio sessions: - Time - Land of Winter and Sorrow + otherwise Loneliness. Jari (the singer-songwriter) got some injury to his hand, he can't play that well anymore, or at least he wouldn't be able to sing at the same time. So now he just sings, and they got a new guitarist to play his parts, 1st non-Finn in the group. I'm not sure who plays the drums when Kai can't participate, is it a back track. Many parts of this song, like the orchestra, and the choir were a back track, and Jari has made it (mostly?). This band started as his private dream, then he got some other players along, and this particular song he had worked on long - it's like his perfectionist dream - could you imagine :) Jari played and sang earlier in a band called Ensiferum, you may start with Lai Lai Hei (said like Ly Ly hey - compare how you say Kai Hahto). Finnish spelling is like every letter has the same value no matter where it appears in a word - ng is the exception, it's like ng in sing, only double long: namely letters written double, are double long.

I can't tell how often I have listened to that song full volume and every fucking time I'm astonished and amazed about the orchestration, the musicianship and the passion... Seeing your reaction just mirrors how I feel every time !!! It's a masterpiece

That was such a treat! Thanks for reacting to this. There are so many great Wintersun songs and even two Ensiferum albums (the first and second) featuring Jari as a composer/singer/guitarist. You should totally check out all of it. And don't be afraid to say you like this over Nightwish. There is no contest. I subbed and am looking forward to those coming reactions.

Hahaha. Thanks man! Yeah, I think Nightwish is great, but for my own personal taste, I dig this more. Both bands are phenomenal though, and I can't wait to dig into more of Jari's stuff.

17:08 - 17:45 Absolutely love the reaction here as this is my favorite part of the song, it's so chaotic yet so in sync and perfectly executed. Every time I hear this part I have the same reaction, it's like they go into another gear three separate times.

I saw them live in Greensboro, NC in 2018 the night same Hurricane Florence hit -- my buddy I was going to go with had to cancel because he had to go evacuate his in-laws from Fayetteville before it flooded. They put on an epic fucking live show in that converted warehouse they played. You should also check out the opening act from that tour, Ne Obliviscaris. They're a progressive extreme metal band from Melbourne, Australia. They have a playthrough video for their song "Curator" that would work well.

The founder of Wintersun, Jari Mäenpää used to play in a band called Ensiferum which I can recommend you to look in to if you like folk metal/melodic deathmetal.

You are very knowledgeable on music love your reactions. There is so much great metal in Europe Melodeath, Power metal, Death, Symphonic etc. The musicianship and passion of these bands is a whole other level. Keep up the great work.

Yes please!!! "While we sleep" is probably the most popular, but the full potential of the song is prepared for by the opening track from the album Shadows of a Dying Sun, "The Primeval Dark", those two go so well together! There is not a single song on that album which isn't worth to check out...and they don't have just one album ;)

So now, after having watched your reaction- you're welcome 😂😂. I've been bothering Chase with comments under his videos to make him do this one, but that wasn't successful 😆. Wintersun is very different from Nightwish, just a different type of masterpiece music writing. While Nightwish is my "happy mood" music, Wintersun speaks to my darker side. If you check out Amorphis ("Amongst Stars" is a bit more commercial one with Anneke van Ginsberg as a guest, so maybe check out "The Bee" lyric video), that will be my 3 favorite bands 😃. All from 🇫🇮 🇫🇮
@TankTheTech4 жыл бұрын
Chase said he already reacted to this as well and will post it soon, most likely Sunday. 🤘 And Amorphis is definitely another one I need to get into.
@JackM.4 жыл бұрын
@@TankTheTech Yes definitely start with The Bee official lyric video, and not any live one because the studio version is superior. Amongst Stars is a great song too but might give a wrong impression about Amorphis.
