Wintersun blows our mind for 12 minutes straight with "Time"

cheers! :)

WINTERSUN for life KAI!

[@SongsandThongs]

Woah! Thank you ever so much for checking us out and even commenting Kai! Wow, what an absolute honor seeing your name in our comment section! First you bless us with your talent and now with your comment! Legend! 🙏❤

[@paskajuzzy]

Kai, you are the peanut to my butter!

[@jeffbowden8367]

Nice to know that a drum God is doing the same as the rest of us mere mortals during lockdowns and watching reaction channels 🤣❤️🇬🇧

[@RonniePeterson]

I have said this before. Wintersun are one of if not the greatest bands that no one has heard of and never will. They should be on every music lovers bucket list.

[@SongsandThongs]

Totally agree!

[@81Shagrath]

If you know Ensiferum, you know Wintersun ;)

[@Communism.is.a.cancer]

No one has heard of? They have millions of views on each video.

[@Kubik1976]

Absolutely not true. Wintersun introduces itself to you when it feels you're qualified for listen to it.

[@RonniePeterson]

@@Kubik1976 But if people never know about the band how will they ever get the chance to listen to them.

[@remoteb7183]

the singer has so much passion in his voice, its just a beautiful beautiful song and everyone was great

[@davidiobrando]

And to think that he only has 1 and a half of his lungs... mad.

[@javelin60]

Kai be chilling on those drums in Nightwish. The man does not miss a beat. No wonder Jukka hand picked him to take over on drums.

[@ssc00p]

Well Kai and Jukka very good friends way from the past and Kai has been mentoring Jukka too...

[@beatnaf8429]

MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nightwish and Winterson best ever composing OMG Love you guys

[@mikem1457]

I see wintersun, instant like. Never a bad track from Jari.

[@the_elsmile7592]

One of the best chilling song i have heard in my life

[@roeder1972]

They nailed it again! Kai is a human Metronom... absolutely Epic🤘

[@bildertattoo]

This is the kind of music that keeps me alive as a depressed person, i like you two and your stunning faces, Greetings from South Bavaria the allgäu

[@Fabinesss]

same here.

[@npanic628]

Yep know that feeling, suffering from depersonalization and derealization back in 2014-2017, waiting for new wintersun music was one of the rare things keeping me alive

[@JK-zo4px]

What a song. What a band. What a phenomenal drummer

[@johndorton2599]

Now this is why I like reaction videos. Never hared Wintersun before and damn you! Got to go buy something of theirs now!

[@SongsandThongs]

It's our pleasure 😊😊

[@janihaavisto79]

Well you are in for good journey, just keep looking. Finland has lot of these bands, I would know. Finnish that I am. Lol

[@Babewatcherbob]

I've been listening to Wintersun since 2004ish. They're absolutely unbelievable.

[@MrFluKeKe]

Always fun to see appreciation for the immense work Wintersun put into these epic pieces.

[@Kekoapono]

I hope you’ll also react to Wintersun’s “Loneliness.” It demonstrates the very best of Jari’s passion, as it was written soon after the death of his father. It’s heart-breakingly gorgeous. Jari has to be one of the most passionate performers in metal, right alongside Tuomas. Really, the whole Forest Seasons album is amazing, but it’s not an understatement to say Jari saved the best for last (Loneliness being the last track).

[@Patralgan]

The nice thing about Wintersun music is that Jari doesn't really compromise, usually. The songs are exactly as long as they are supposed to be. Another thing that I love are the intros. For me the intro of a song is the most important part and sets the mood and framework for the whole song and Wintersun usually give these really long and majestic intros which help to carry the rest of the songs. Sons of Winter and Stars also has an intro, but since the song is such a behemoth, the intro is also 4+ minutes long and is treated as a separate track called "When Time Fades Away", which is not often heard, sadly, but Sons of Winter and Stars actually works really well without the intro nonetheless. Great reaction, keep it up! :)

[@derdulli4302]

Your Reaktion are so awesome! Lovely!!

[@sylwia5595]

Aww, always appreciate more people showing some ❤ for Wintersun! There is one more from these live studio recordings left, and then I'd definitely recommend "Loneliness (Winter)" from their Forest Seasons album - one of the most beautiful metal ballads!

[@toiddiot1629]

This is 🔥! Now, to complete the Wintersun hat trick, do a reaction on Land of snow and sorrow from this same rehearsal session 🤘 After that I highly recommend the Forrest seasons album 👌 Thank you!

[@wannabedane4046]

Yup, I second that - Thanks for your reaction and thanks to Toid Diot for suggesting

[@Steven-lb4bl]

I third that 🎸

[@Juhasante]

Fourth that🤟

On our list and will definitely be reacting to it soon!😁😁

[@LordBaktor]

Everybody forgets their first album which is still my favorite.

[@SnakeP1tPoetry]

Thank you for the reaction,wintersun is amazing and you two look like genuinely good people and lovely couple.

[@johndreessen7335]

Great reaction. Love these studio versions of wintersun. Amazing performers and songs, no, compositions. Also like this one more than “sons of winter and stars”. Thank you for this reaction.

[@alanbrown7412]

Thank you so much for reacting to Time by Wintersun...what a track ...what a band. You are so right about how tight they are...all of them are superb. Kai just kills it on the drums. You should definitely listen to Land of Snow and Sorrow..from the same rehearsal settings. Really dig your channel. Looking forward to your next reaction.Take care and stay safe. From Liverpool UK 👍✌️🤘

[@janihaavisto79]

It's like you both are purring like cats when u hear WinterSun. Hehe And BTW Too long for radio, in Finland we get to hear them in radio. But then again we are proud of our bands

[@SongsandThongs]

Wow super jealous about that 🤘🤘

[@janihaavisto79]

Wow, thank you! 🤗🤗

[@honorarythamesman5732]

I'm 3 months late in replying - just wanted to once again an excellent reaction - I noted your admiration for the nice work on bass at one point - that is another Jukka who has taken Marko's role in Nightwish!

[@salvatoreiafigliola8414]

Great song from Italy

[@Pappa_66]

Thank you for this great reaction to this epic song! "I love this Kai" (guy) is one of the best one liners I am going to use!!😂😍🤩. Finnish humor.

[@vinograd74]

I think that this is a new style in heavy music - Wizard Metal. )

[@ludvigenholm7168]

Would not before have thought that a comment like "So nice" to the scream Jari made in the beginning was accurate, But it is!! 😆🤘🔥🔥 Awesome song!!

[@sierkvanderwerf4765]

The most impressive thing I still find that Jari can do all this with his voice, with missing a part of 1 lung.

[@SongsandThongs]

Yes, absolutely incredible. So much talent!

[@damien857]

Now this is hard stuff to sell, but if you're willing to do somber stuff, then Wintersun - Loneliness. It's sould crushing stuff, when you condsider that it's probably heavily impressed by Jari's father passing away. The entire album is brilliant, but maybe more something that you listen to on your own time.

[@patrickwillpower638]

The vocals reminded me of Devin Townsend, not a bad thing by any stretch. Musically, this is a magnum opus for them. I was impressed enough that I typed words with more than one syllable and made educated comparisons. My brain is now resetting.

Great reaction you two! If you are the greatest reaction channel ever in KZbin then you must do the and survive the test of the how Finn you are and watch Wintersun´s Loneliness musicvideo! Because we are the happiest nation in the world 5 times in row! As you can see all the reaction videos what you have made of finnish bands, Lol! If this is happy then I´m totally in!! :D Btw that was totally irrelevant to this post but anyways check Loneliness from Wintersun! Please!
