Wintersun - Death and The Healing (Remastered) [Reaction/Review]

[@APREACTS]

Exclusive Interview with Jari Mäenpää from Wintersun is now up on KZbin. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pX2vaZtoeLOoadU

[@Skretting91]

Jari wrote this song at only 18 years old

[@benbong4577]

Wintersun is a better alternative to antidepressants.

[@KreshDraven6]

Sorry about your loss guys, but it's really nice to hear how music can help us in this hard moments. Wish all the best for you boys

[@APREACTS]

+kreshBACON thank you

[@aboutmonkey5471]

"Time is the death and the healing", that's so true. Can't wait for winter so i can walk in the snow and listen to Wintersun.

[@davecrupel2817]

Aboutmonkey i do the same thing!

[@trigintatres9787]

Next week is starchild, Jari's favourite.. you can't imagine what you're about to hear, can't wait :)

[@Hexen555]

Triginta Tres I agree. It is so epic!

[@Stahlratte1970]

Gooood Idea! "I've hold the fire within myself Years I've walked in the coldest winds Through the deserts of sand and snow...."

[@Ana198]

Lost my dad last december, this is the song i listened to most during all that stuff. Kinda poetic this is the song this week. As you might guess from my profile pic, this is my fav album of all time. As much as i like the later stuff, especially Sons of Winter and Stars, this is still without equal.

[@APREACTS]

+Ana198 at this point i will have to agree that this album is perhaps one of the greatest albums of all time

[@CosmicAgency]

Thats why I love listening to these beautiful songs watching you cause I feel we are listening to it together, and you (the father) light up at exactly same moments of the songs that I do!! You bliss out at exact same moments haha. We feel the songs´ beauty in exactly the same way, and it makes me feel less alone in this world....thats why I love watching your channel. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to share my joy of listening to these masterpieces with someone! (not many metal friendly people around me). Hail Metal!

[@APREACTS]

Thanks for watching and being here with us

[@seanmcie7091]

I've been a wintersun fan for years and this song helped when I lost my father. It will always good meaning in my heart

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Perfect song for your situation. Time killed your dad, but time will heal your pain

[@kristoffer2322]

I'm sorry for your loss guys! For me, music has always lifted me up when I'm down. Hope you guys will feel that in this beautiful song.

[@APREACTS]

+Cloverbass thank you

[@Rebella1337]

So sorry for your loss guys. I'm glad you have Wintersun there to comfort you through the tough times. They have helped me so much over the years too. By the way, if you didn't know, Loneliness is partly about Jari losing his dad in autumn last year. Starchild next week. Brace yourselves. Winter is coming.

[@Patralgan]

My condolences for your loss. I guess this song is very appropriate for this period for you. That said, amazing reaction! This song is simply amazing and gives diversity and flavor to the album. When I listened this album the first time I think it was this song that completely convinced me that this album is especially meticulously crafted with such passion and love that I haven't heard ever before. Next is Starchild, get prepared for very intense epicness and an intricate and diverse journey of what is Jari's personal favorite song of his :)

[@ToastedCigar]

My condolences for the whole family. Music has a healing effect, especially music like Wintersun. I broke up with my girlfriend and Jari's music helped me through a lot of negative emotions.

[@keithchristen8497]

Sorry about your loss guys. So glad Wintersun has been able to help you through all of it. Because I believe their music most definitely has healing properties, haha. Jari is a genius. Such a special band.

[@MarioTrebur]

So sorry about your loss. Healing regards from Germany.

[@timomastosalo]

Bow to you opening up about your healing process. May your healing go on, consistently, in palatable dosages, with suitable pain killers - balm, to your wounds. I'm not wishing pain killers that numb your pain - not to hide from the pain - but such healing that help you to take the pain as a new part of your life - help you face life with open mind and soul. So you're not too surprised - or at least frightened - if the help comes also from an unexpected address.

[@vauhtiristo]

Sorry for your loss. Thank you for all great vids, stay strong.

[@APREACTS]

+Vauhtiripa thank you

[@christianxfb]

Thanks for sharing your feelings mate.....Hope you get better and my most sincere feelings of condolences.

[@APREACTS]

+christianxfb thank you

[@Mixxx98]

I feel sorry for your loss guys, losing loved ones is hard..but Wintersun helps, I know when I discovered them I was in the biggest shit in my life but Wintersun helped me to overcome.

[@herrvarga7636]

As I don't play any instrument, it took a while till I realized that this has a 3/4 beat, which is pretty rare in metal. Now imagine a gothic wedding, both are good dancers, wear some crazy (but elegant) black clothing... And all of a sudden they step on the dancefloor, this song starts, and they dance the coolest waltz you have ever seen! 🤘🏻😎

[@margotf_7790]

Sorry for your loss guys... Wintersun is therapy and this song's just amazing.

[@APREACTS]

+Margot Furlanis thank you

[@joshi4141]

Thank you so much for your reaction. But you don't have to wait for a new Wintersun album to be released, you can just go further back and listen to the album Immemorial by Jari himself: (This was before he created Wintersun) 1. A chance to live again: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnOynYeYibSUras 2. Fly into the sky: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqenfmBnnJVmmKM 3. Fading Miracles: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoWcc5mim7h3a7M 4. When the rain ends: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWGchoSBhb-Ujc0 And there is of course another epic track called Memory with another killer Riff and beautiful Solo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3S3opaMjdaJiNU These songs are just as beautiful as the other Winterun albums and need to be listened. I would be so glad if you just listen to one song listened above. I am looking forward to next WinterSunDay!!!

[@Hexen555]

joshi4141 when the rain ends is awesome!!!!

[@Teofilo87]

Definitely, A chance to live again and Fading miracles are so good.

[@joshi4141]

Yes I like them a lot! Hopefully they are going to react to at least one of these songs! When it comes to me, I like Memory the most.

[@spectre722]

or earlier ensiferum

[@JudoPsycho]

Three words: Swallow the Sun They're a mix of melodic death and doom metal so it should be right up your alley. Song to check out would be Through Her Silvery Body. That song gives me such feels! Btw, I'm sorry for your loss guys

[@youngsterjoey6040]

Im so happy i got to see Wintersun while Jari was on guitar. Watching his alien like fingers tear up this solo was a hell of an experience!

[@Nemendril]

I'm sorry for your loss. WS music helped me a lot when I lost my parents as well, 4 months apart.. I just want to remind you that there is an unreleased song, the Way of the Fire, that isn't in any album. Be sure to check that out as well (fast song with amazing guitarwork) A multicam video shot in Hollywood has the best quality can be found in KZbin. Keep up the good work. Kr, a Finn.

[@wardeni9603]

By the way, Wintersun - The Forest Seasons was #1 in the official Finnish charts on it's release.

[@OSLP]

My condolences for your loss. That song also comes to my mind every now and then and it feels appropriate.

[@APREACTS]

Thank you!!!

[@despicable6545]

Wintersun helped me in my dark days as well. Jari really knows how to get your bad emotions form deepest depths of your heart, put it on the outside and push them away. Saw them two times live already, waiting for third :)

[@sulosky]

Sorry for the lost. All the best for your family!

[@martinappelman1]

One of their best songs

[@Rebella1337]

every one of their songs is one of their best songs.

[@martinappelman1]

Rebecca Hope that's true

[@SlavomirSihtric]

2 years past, im back here to see Your faces. Its so soul touching, so melodic, and just simply beautiful song.. There are now words that can describe Jari's genious! His beyond us all! BTW, now im lost in despair - ensiferum ;)

[@APREACTS]

Still my fav Wintersun song.

[@friedlizardR11]

I see a lot of Powermetal shown on this channel, I was wondering of you'd like the band Beast in Black. they've released about 3 music videos at the moment: - Beast in Black (title track with Lyrics video) - Blind and Frozen (more of a music video with actors and stuff) - Born again (Close up singing by Yannis + Lyrics video) They've released their first album not so long ago (November the 3rd). It all sounds really powerful and melodic, I definitely recommend it.

[@MetalAtog]

Many years ago music was also a big help for me when my grandfather died. It was with Candlemass, one of my all-time favorite bands, specially the song "Solitude" (which I totally recommend for reaction).

[@Teofilo87]

Hope you feel better guys! Wintersun music can definitely help. Next week - Starchild. You're gonna love that one. Hope you go with the Tuska 2013 version (there's one with video recording from audience and another one without any video, but the audio is excellent, mixed by Jari, which is most important).

[@Furyan]

Here's a link for the Starchild: /watch?v=0CrD2nbvO28 It really has the best possible audio quality, i've never heard any better live recordings.

[@WintersunExtras]

Sorry about your loss again, guys. Like I said last Sunday, Wintersun's music massively helped me through my brother's passing, it's nice to know it can help others as well.

[@APREACTS]

+WintersunExtras Sorry to hear about your brother!!! Music can help the healing process, it gives you a sense of belonging

[@WintersunExtras]

Take care mate, I'll see you next WinterSunday!

[@thorstenlone9207]

Sorry for your loss, but looks like you've got at least found the perfect song to react to. "Death and the Healing" is one of my favourit Wintersun Songs and clearly one of my Top10 Metal "Ballads" ever.

[@Adyraan]

I think you guys will like Orden Ogan - Gunman pretty much! Awesome heavy power metal from germany! \m/

[@stefankretic8091]

Hey guys you can also check out the song called Memory, by Lost Alone and Jari Mäenpää. It is a great song with Jari on vocals and guitar, you won't be disappointed 😀

[@lrtt99]

Me encantan estos videos. Lo siento por tu pérdida. Ustedes son gente muy agradable! Un saludo.

[@APREACTS]

+Jan Ro muchas gracias

[@nunoalmeida6270]

António & Pedro, os meus pêsames . Força e bola pra frente ! Continua o bom trabalho e da próxima que vieres a Portugal, que seja por melhores motivos e possamos beber um copo!

[@APREACTS]

+Nuno Almeida sim sr

[@emootikoah8156]

Probably my favourite Wintersun song of them all.

[@emootikoah8156]

Also, this was so awesome live, probably the best night of my entire life!

[@Patralgan]

Also after this album, you absolutely should react to live performance of their unreleased song "The Way of the Fire" since most likely the studio version won't be released until early 2020's so there's still a lot of waiting. I urge you to react to it because it's so incredible that even though it's a live recording, it's still highly enjoyable and in my opinion the best Wintersun song and has a guitar solo that is completely out of this universe. Here it is: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXjKnZ6sdpeCeMk

[@blazejecar]

I wish they'd release way of the fire as a bonus track for the next crowdfund. it would break the universe

[@joshi4141]

@Patralgan: Don't you thing they should react to the older jari stuff like immemorial, memory or ensiferum?

[@Patralgan]

Ensiferum yes. I've listened through Immemorial couple of times and honestly in my opinion it doesn't come very close to Wintersun. I need to listen it more because the previous listening sessions didn't leave strong impression to me yet.

[@joshi4141]

I must say that I really enjoy the melodies of Immemorial. It's just a pity that it has not the best recording quality so I'm hoping that it will be kind of remastered in the next Crowdfunding campaign. At least Jari has done it with Sadness and Hate. Listen to Memory: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3S3opaMjdaJiNU I hope you enjoy at least this piece of art.

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

sorry for your loss

[@APREACTS]

+ᛞᛖᚾᚾᛁᛋ ᛏᚱᛟᚹᚨᛏᛟ thank you

[@Jakblade]

You guys are awesome. I have been binge watching alll day. Haha.

[@APREACTS]

LMAO!!!! That is a lot of videos bro.

[@davidruiz3712]

Meus sentimentos para você, seu filho e sua família. Com certeza seu pai está num lugar melhor do que aqui. Sei bem como é difícil esse momento, e a união da família é essencial. Conheci Wintersun por esse video, e já considero minha mais nova banda favorita! Força, paz e muito metal (o melhor tratamento para as tristezas da vida)!!!

[@APREACTS]

+David Ruiz obrigado!!!!

[@caichaarles]

When you're done with this album, yuo should check out the acoustic version of loneliness

[@Mohamedmifxal]

Only Wintersun I remember. BEST FINNISH ALBUM EVER!!!! They never reached the greatness of their debut

[@rofl0rblades]

This is peak Melodic Death Metal.

[@ukaszdrozdowski1664]

Sorry for such a loss...I am glad you've decided to keep going...great reaction. Keep rolling. Btw hope you got the right link to Starchild cause it's been blocked on youtube for some time. Check it out first not to face an unpleasant surprise:) over and out☺

[@f2c7f88]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/raCmgZZteJlgacU This probably the best version on youtube.

[@ukaszdrozdowski1664]

Think that particular one is the best...the matter of taste I guess☺kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKSsnHaqpbxmj5Y

[@f2c7f88]

Oh, I completely forgot about that one. Guess that's also my favorite one now.

[@majinbuu1172]

Power Trip - Executioners Tax Kalmah - Moon of My Nights

[@silalka9297]

Hi i just want to say @apreacts this band helped really me when i lost my grandmother specialy this song and at the time i was really hard bullied at school just nice to know someone other has find help too this band music too i am always saying thath music heals people when you find right one and couple year later my grandfather died then i listen band named mokoma and album 180 astetta i would like to see if you like make one reaction video of their music i have couple song you could do punamultaa, virsi no5, or mutta minulta puuttuisi rakkaus okey i know that they sing in finland language but perhaps you could use some translator to know what they sing - silalka

[@Mustaerkki]

I´m sorry for your loss!

[@APREACTS]

+p3 cobhc thanks

[@gelo5531]

death and the healing helped me get over the loss of a dear person to me :(

[@Pepedori]

Sorry for Your loss guys... it feels like shit every time it hits. I don't know have anyone suggested Sentenced earlier, but i think their "We are but falling leaves" is the one You guys should listen next. I have listened this song every time when some of my nearest is passed away. Sentenced is (or rather it was) also from Finland. The band buried couple years ago, but it was one of the biggest names in Finland. Unfortunately they never got name abroad. In my opinion Sentenced is the best way to get familiar with finnish melancholy. Oh, hope to see You guys in the Tuska festival 2018 at Helsinki next summer! ;)

[@Solum.Eli.]

If you liked that solo then check out some of Jason Becker’s stuff! Such a legendary guitarist man.

[@MrT1o9P9i2]

My favourite WS song

[@TotalSkillIndex]

React to Insomnium - Mortal share, Before the Dawn - any song you can find or Diablo - any song you can find, Please. Before the Dawn and Diablo are among the best bands of this genre to ever come from Finland! Insomnium you know already, I'm 120% sure you would love the other 2 as well \m/ Great idea to use this song's intro as ringtone by the way! I've used it as my alarm clock's sound for over 10 years and amazingly after thousands of drowsy mornings I STILL LOVE IT :D Great video again as usual and please keep on doing these reactions. You have a super cool kid to rock with!

[@jabrane1564]

what will guys do for wintersun day after the album is finished. i suggest live shows , albums review , albums raking or even live shows

[@APREACTS]

+Jabrane Amami we have some ideas to finish the year with WintersunDay in 2018 not sure what we will do on Sundays...still lots of time to sort that out

[@MAAP2920]

Sentenced is grear funeral music since Down album to Funeral Album. From Finland of course!

[@lmc4964]

[@jounileinonen1938]

Hey guys! I wiil have my wintersun consert experience soon...it will be awesome. But I hope you could react two finnish metalbands: Moonsorrow: back to north and Ghost brigade: grain...this has a great animationvideo

[@TheAnriii]

Sorry for your loss. Metal music has helped me to pull out of really deep depression twice in my life. This may sound cheesy but I do not find joy in most of the things people do, they seem either silly or stupid. But music is something magical and beautiful.

[@APREACTS]

+TheAnriii music more so metal, has a healing capability to it

[@celestialcolosseum]

[@stone2.066]

Have you checked out "WintersunExtras" channel? If not you should give it a try, he uploaded the isolated tracks + orchestral and no synth versions of time I and the forest seasons. (Orchestral/Synth+Vocals Version of Loneliness is so good!!!) I stil recommend Finsterforst - Mach dich Frei (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn3Zm3awgtd3ptU) and you maybe interested in Grave Digger's live version of "Rebellion" with Hansi Kürsch from blind guardian and Van Canto (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpPdhIqZh7Jsq5I). By the way, your probably my favorite channel so far. First thing I do after coming home from work is watching your videos. To see you enjoying the music you love and having fun always put a smile on my face no matter how bad my day was!

[@joshi4141]

The same with me^^ I really like this channel

[@APREACTS]

+Stone2.0 that channel is where we get these tracks from

[@APREACTS]

Thanks guys for the kind words

[@stone2.066]

I know that you're using his videos of the remastered first album. I just wanted to let you know that he uploaded that other stuff you might be interested in as well :)

[@APREACTS]

+Stone2.0 yeah we have looked at all his stuff and perhaps we will use other videos from his library

[@DiScOnNeCtEdx_x]

Hey, please react to "Nightwish - Wanderlust" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmPMgqGnibGbY7s). It's one of the older Nightwish songs, which are quite unique.

[@turkeyjones6128]

you guys should react to Sabaton-Wehrmacht kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6itk553ZqaWeM0

[@mikkolaine4883]

This is my favorite from their self-titled album. Starchild is the second favorite. Other songs don't hit that hard for me due to relatively small sound that Time I and The Forest Seasons have. Good album anyways =) I have a hint for you to hold for upcoming Sundays. Two bands that have majestical long songs. The first one you had one already from and it really deserves the place for Sundays as they have the only composer who's better than Jari Mäenpää. Of course I'm speaking about Nightwish but the second comes from the same genre with a bit different outcome and I think I mentioned it in some other comment as well and they are the "Flying Dutchman": Epica. I really recommend ;)

[@Darkey23]

You gotta be kidding.

[@mikkolaine4883]

Darkey23 Which part? I noticed one typo. That should be "relatively small sound THAN Time 1 and..."

[@Darkey23]

I don't care about the typos. But placing Nightwish higher than Wintersun when comparing songwriting is heresy.

[@mikkolaine4883]

That's easy. Nightwish does the best in my ears. Wintersun is still one of my favorites doing almost the same level. Their technical skills are outstanding. But Tuomas makes still better songs in Nightwish. Jari is still a tough competitor.

[@Darkey23]

It might fit your taste. But objectively speaking, Nightwish is pretty shallow when compared to Wintersun - and I don't mean that as an insult, but from a musical standpoint. Layering, key changes, tempo changes. I respect Nightwish for what they are, but great musicianship is not what they offer.

[@rhapsody1979]

Please, buddy, can you make a reat video to a band called Xandria and the songs are: Soulcrusher A prophecy of worlds to fall Can you do both of them. I'm sure you're gonna like them. It's really heavy!! Thanks my friend!

[@scottimusmaximus2032]

[@antzinen]

[@pooplup111]

Sorry to hear about your loss guys! I also lost my dad just over a year ago and music in general has been one of my biggest therapies, including wintersun. I know I'm just a stranger on the Internet, but if you need to talk, please let me know!

[@APREACTS]

Thank you so much for the thoughts and compassion. It is really appreciated.
