WINTERSUN: "One with the Shadows" and "Ominous Clouds" - Thoughts and Reaction

[@tapio7133]

This album should be listened from start to end. It is one of those whole package at once albums. Jumping around may give something but best when enjoyed everything at once.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@tapio7133 once I get these videos done. Im gonna do just that and sit and listen all the way thru.

The solos in this one are like the guitar singing / crying. So beautiful. Also love the emotion that Jari puts into the vocals especially the part where he is singing about being too late to tell someone who he feels.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

YESSS once that first solo came in, it was soooo emotional. Loved it

[@draug7966]

"One with the shadows" was f*cking gorgeous. When Wintersun does that epic, kinda folky style it's just so, so good.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

I can't wait to hear the final 2 songs.

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

I fcking knew you would love One With The Shadows. It is a majestic song!

[@paul.d.8535]

I knew it too, just like Tommy will love Silver leaves.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@crazyjoedavola7493 Hahha Good call!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

[@martinfranzen9151]

My favourite from the new album! 👏💯

[@JackiePlage]

I adore Wintersun, loved them right from the first album. 🤘❤️

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

They really are special! Forest Season Album is my favorite!

[@gabrielkain1]

This had a really epic sound. With the cleans and the mix of vocals styles, this just came threw so good. It had a great mix, and the music was powerful and so interesting. The guitar solo was a jam all on its own.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@gabrielkain1 so far my fav song of the album

[@ZerilathImmortal]

ominous clouds is basically the intro to the next song. maybe listen to it again next clip LOL

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@ZerilathImmortal ohhh ok, got it ha

[@Patralgan]

We do have to remember that Time II is the second half of the album which originally was meant to be just one album: Time. So the album is short and I implore you to listen the first half also: Time I (and be sure it's the 2.0 version which is a completely new mix and master to modern standards). There also is a long 4-minute long intro and the fourth track (Darkness And Frost) is a 2-minute interlude to the next song (Time), so Time II has a similar structure to Time I. The next song in Time II is Storm and the official lyric video isn't ready yet so I suggest to wait for it before you react to it or have the lyrics visible otherwise. I think it's important since the lyrics truly elevates this extremely wild song, which in my opinion is just peak music.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@Patralgan I appreciate the input and guidance.

[@emilyck]

Was waiting for these reactions, had a feeling this would be a song you would enjoy! My second favorite on the album after Silver Leaves which I am anxiously looking forward to :)

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@emilyck I keep hearing thats amazing

[@JamesHessMetal]

I feel like this album is honestly best experienced all in one sitting, and not really treated as separate songs in the way they're actually broken up. The sound and playing in Ominous Clouds is super cool, but sorta feels like he could've just tacked it onto Storm since it's more or less the introduction to that one. Otherwise, it leads to situations like this where you basically hear one full, self-contained song, and then the beginning of the next one, and it just feels weird when you're spreading out your listening of the whole album. Storm is definitely more energetic and super melodic, and has the darkest tone to it out of the whole album. You're in for a great time with that one!

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@JamesHessMetal Hell ya! Im sure I will feel different doing a whole sit thru listen

[@ZerilathImmortal]

2:02 favorite song on the album. its the part he sings here hits me right on the nerves. its a rush

[@leilafouad16]

An other beautiful song ❤❤❤

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

One with the Shadows was sooooo good!

[@anetteridleyrodriguez]

This song is so good! It reminds me of when Jari was in Ensiferum, it gives me Lost in Dispair vives. The viking/folk sounds are awesome 👌 That last part of the solo reminded me of the Death and the Healing solo ❤ I love Jari's slower, balad like songs. Ominous Clouds is also very beautiful but, it should be lumped with Sorm. The ending of Ominous Clouds flows right into Storm, to me it's really one long ass song.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

Agreed! I've realized I like slow wintersun alot!

[@anetteridleyrodriguez]

@TheWolffAndTheMelody Check out Ensiferum's Lost in Dispair, Abandoned and Eternal Wait. Those 3 songs are my favorite slow songs. You will love them!

[@NaX619]

One with the shadows is my fkn favo song from the album :) but there are a lot more great songs on the demos =D

[@Jansku79]

Omnious clouds is an intro to Storm so you listened it in a wrong context. The ending of Storm is an intro to Silver leaves so it might be confusing to listen these songs as one by one lol.

[@TheWolffAndTheMelody]

@@Jansku79 OHHHHH ok, lol I was like...wtf hahaha
