[@seththehobbit2066]

I think the easiest song to play part is my favourite. Kai just shared about having a hard time to play starchild. 😂

[@winterbear8633]

Thanks!

[@AbsoluteApril]

@@winterbear8633 You're welcome :D

[@thegoblonoid]

"Musicians don't retire they just die" lmao

[@igpetrov5303]

Enough podcasts! We want new musi... oh wait... well I guess the podcast is just fine. I'll enjoy it with my coffee :D

[@leoric2200]

I just love Kai so much...the man is simple, humble and down to earth )) an etalon of a musician

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Oh man, I can't wait to see those tapes of the recording sessions.

[@passagenoir]

thats gonna be amazing, seeing that stuff from 2004 going to be so good

[@ilikevideos4868]

I hope we can see them before 2030

[@leoric2200]

Teemu all time during the session: ☺ 😂

[@juanjorondon]

I met Teemu last week in South America since he's touring with Megadeth. What a great and nice guy. It would be amazing to have Wintersun touring here.

[@SGgrayfox]

I haven't looked forward to an album as much as Time II in a long, long time. Even from the samples, you can hear what a masterpiece this is going to be. The atmosphere alone is unbelievable.

[@ioneas]

Hi guys! Guys here.

[@rembo96]

Seeing you all together brings warmth to my heart.

[@jeroen0011]

Watched the whole thing, just seems such a down to earth nice bunch of dudes to hang around, lovely podcast

[@bannanateam]

it's so nice listening to the band for almost 2 hours.

[@PlagueTheReal]

you guys have a lot of fans here in Brazil, would be nice to see you guys live one day

[@autumnsun2650]

Hey guys, thx for sharing, still watching. I love Finnish music since almost 20 years and Wintersun is one of my favorites. I went last year to Finland, Helsinki as the source of my favorite music, went in a Wintersun Shirt to the Music museum at Pasila Station - Finnish music Hall of Fame. Saw there many of my favorites but no Wintersun??!! Omg. I hope this will change soon. Definitely deserved.

[@Zakkarr]

Kai is a really funny guy 😂! Love that episode!

[@Jairon_Junior]

39:43 Hell yeah, definitely you guys should come to Brazil someday, I'm eager to see you guys live for ages now XD. Porto Alegre/RS mark in your list in case you guys tour here, i'll be there, cheers o/

[@Thiudan698]

You even answered a question of mine from last time, thank You so much!

[@tvm4in770]

Pozdrawiam z Polski. Panowie, ja czekam na kolejne płyty. Byliście dla mnie niesamowitym odkryciem. Słucham Orden Ogan, Axel Rudi Pell i wiele im podobnych zespołów. Jesteście w czołówce, ale brak mi więcej Waszych utworów. DO PACY PANOWIE. Chcemy więcej, więcej i raz jeszcze, WIECEJ WASZEJ MUZYKI. Greetings from Polish. Gentlemen, I'm waiting for the next albums. You have been an amazing discovery to me. I listen to Orden Ogan, Axel Rudi Pell and a lot of bands like that. You are at the forefront, but I miss more of your songs. LET'S GET ON WITH IT, GENTLEMEN. We want more, more, and more of your music.

[@cashewshalom]

Kiitos jätkät... oli kiva kuulla juttuja "sermin takaa". 😊 Thanks a lot. Really looking forward to hear more stories and rest of the Time package. I have to also mention that I really learn to appreciate fry screams from listening Jari. 🤘🏼

[@j7...]

We demand kai drum videos. VideoSSS!! :D

[@ericlenouy8756]

Thank you guys, I'm finishing watching your podcast, check your campaign, and yes, you did it, 10000 backers reached !! Congrats !!

[@omiq7761]

Jarilta kovaa namedroppailua: Deadmau5 ja muutenkin trancesta puhuu pariinkin otteeseen mm. naisvokaalien osalta. Osoittaa hienoa genret ylittävää ymmärrystä musiikista (Equador!!). Tarvitsemme Triple A - Winter Stayed Wintersun Remixin!!

[@omiq7761]

~~All the love I knew faded As Winter came, Winter stayed The promises of Spring taken Buried under ice, betrayed~~ With Jari's growling vocals, just imagine 🤩

[@Radwalls]

Wow this band is so knowledgable on audio production and guitar playing. I would love a WinterSchool

[@juliogutierrez7497]

Next album with Kai on drums please Jari, sorry for bothering so much but i love Kai's powerfull and precise blastbeat hahaha

[@TheBabouk]

Hey Jari, a challenge for you, put this punchline from Kai in the lyrics of one of you next album: « musicians don’t retire, the just die » 😂

[@sateentuoksu]

I concur

[@ManuelGuajardo-zd7hx]

Wintersun Alex USA approved this podcast. ❄️👍🤘

[@ArttuTheCat]

WINTERSUN FOREVER 😼🤘🎵🎶! Greetings from Martinlaakso Vantaa (Finland 🇫🇮). Terveisiä Vantaan Martinlaaksosta, Suomesta 🇫🇮.

[@MrSyndreas]

I can't believe Jari name-dropping bands/artists like deadmau5 and The Birthday Massacre. My absolute favorites as well. Really nice podcast guys, keep it up!

[@unmanifest6307]

Kai’s drumming from the first album and TIME I would be insane, please release those

[@Pave999]

Wintersun metallic trance, that would be something to wait for! 😎 Go for it! That would combine my most loved genres. Just yesterday though that I should find out are there any electronic dance music remixes of Your songs...

[@itsirishoneil]

Thank you for answering the Dainsleifofficial question! Ive been dying to know what yall think about knobs on amps and general settings thats huge!

[@Mattseak]

This was a fun episode! Congrats on the successful pre-order campaign guys!

[@thestarseeker8196]

Y’all may have thought about this but I’m sure there are established or up and coming bands who would be quite willing to put in deposits to record or mix at Wintersun HQ, and this could certainly chip in towards the costs of keeping the situation stable. Hell I would be among those if I lived over there.

[@crazyjoedavola7493]

"The journey has just begun" Get in there my son!

[@franticamber946]

If you like mountains, glaciars and forests you must come to the south of Argentina! (Neuquen, Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego) Also the north has a different beautiful mountains landscapes (Jujuy, Salta, La Rioja, San Juan)

[@gonza.shreds]

Thanks guys for answering my question about guitar woods and construction details! Jari I think what you meant on your Solar guitars is called Set Thru, which is a set neck but approximately through half of the body. So it's like an hybrid between set neck and neck thru!

[@ilikevideos4868]

Up the Irons Kai 👍 always wearing Iron Maiden merch haha

[@moocorp4574]

I haven’t watched it all, but I feel like nobody is asking if we’ll hear Kai on the coming albums and whether or not we can get Kai drums on a new version of The Forest Seasons anytime in the future. Kai is one of the best metaldrummer in the world, and even unpreppared Kai recording is better than a drum machine.

[@houseofouseyOfficial]

Watching from NZ🤟

[@leilafouad16]

Wintersun 🤘🤘🤘 much love !! You’re the Best

[@willyrosenkrantz8037]

En Colombia nos sorprendió mucho ver a un miembro de Wintersun en la gira por Latinoamérica, fue hermoso.

[@NeeceLoneWolf]

Kai is also in Darkwoods My Betrothed. 🤘🤘

[@Patralgan]

Thank you for answering my question! ❤️

[@Lekan91]

Very cool video and thank you for answering my questions! 🤘

[@LuanFilipe]

I just realized that Jari should be on the left and Teemu on the right, so they can be facing each other like Jukka and Kai

[@Spetke]

So glad Kai found those tapes! Hope you guys share those 🔥

[@Pikotaro_10]

I can't believe nobody mentioned Land Of Snow And Sorrow as the easiest song to play. I mean, it's so easy even an amateur like me learned it :D

[@GonnieBlokland]

Just great to see this podcast. Great quistions and love your answers. You do so well rught now. Hope you all come together in the future and tour. Hope to be able to see you for real in the future. If my health lets me. Have a great weekend . 🥰🤘🫶🔥

[@elpepo01]

Hey Jari! Which version from the package will be used to press the vinyl? the dynamic, the loud and modern? or you'll provide unique vinyl mix/mastering version just for that?

[@WintersunJari]

The official and original loud one, but I don't know if the Nuclear Blast will do something to it. They are the experts when it comes to the vinyl. I believe you might have to ensure the needle doesn't jump from the subfrequencies, etc.

[@msum23]

Kai looking like Obi Wan's ghost

[@darksunwithin]

Does "until April 30th" mean you can pre-order the Time package on that day or should one do it on the 29th, btw?

[@mikkostenberg1740]

Thanks for the podcast gentlemen! 👍 Have you tried Finnish Sandhill microphones? If yes how do you like them?

[@k1rnupiima]

Diablo's last two albums are tight. I know people usually like the earlier stuff but Silver Horizon and When all the rivers are silent are so good!

[@brunoishida7250]

39:42 Brazil mentioned

[@alanduin]

I see there are new vinyl reprints of Time 1 and The Forest Seasons for sale now. Will you reprint the debut sometime? I really need it for my collection

[@EssiEravesi]

I haven't yet had the time to check this out, but this is on my priority list for tomorrow morning. I know this will be most entertaining ❤ just want to congratulate on 9000 backers!!! That is sooooo great!!! Well done!! Hattu päästä, jos olis hattu!!!🎉

[@moocorp4574]

Kai is funny as hell

[@Pateeee98]

Just got bayerdynamic dt880 250 ohm pros + amp for listening time 2. absolutely nuts sounding details in the previous albums too. can't wait to hear the high quality tracks when time 2 is out🤘 people don't know why it takes so long to produce these albums, they really need to hear the songs with better quality!

[@rrrubioe4390]

Greeting from México

[@RawkHawkRockin]

Is there a possibility of seeing some legendary demos played live, before they will be released in their potential future albums? Like the Dragon Song for instance

[@RÅNÇIÐ]

Hey Jari, NeuralDSP just released the Fortin Nameless X. Guess, you'll have to re-do it all over again. 😄

[@Emanuelnx]

Hahaha

[@BENZK-j9t]

Jari, let's do a north america tour again.

[@MountainMetal]

Can anyone tell me what is the very best way to get all the sound quality these special WAV 24-bit files can provide? Should my new computer come with an upgraded sound card? Do I need an external D-A converter? This release is important enough to me that I want to give it the best technology to reach my ears in all its potential glory.

[@WintersunJari]

Any Windows or macOS computer can play WAV and MP3 files. You need a music player app. There are free ones. Macs come with their default app called "Music" (which used to be called iTunes). Windows, I believe, comes with "Windows Media Player" (but you might need to download a codec for it, I'm not sure what the situation is with Windows today, as I haven't used it in years). You don't need an external DA converter. For example, my other "office setup" Mac is just the small Genelec 8010 connected directly to the Mac (and using the Mac's own DA conversion), and it sounds good. Of course, an audio interface is recommended if you want to upgrade and refine the sound more. There are plenty of options out there from RME, SSL, Focusrite, etc. Even the cheapest ones sound great these days. Personally, I love the Universal Audio's Apollo interfaces, but they are a bit more expensive. And, of course, the bigger the monitors/speakers, the bigger the sound, but the room and room acoustics play a big part with monitors. Too big monitors in a small room are not great. Headphones can be a great option too for enjoying music. We mentioned some in the Podcast, like HD650, Focal Radiance, and Focal Clear Pro... Hope that helps! - Jari

[@MountainMetal]

@@WintersunJari Thanks for the advice, Jari.

[@hessiankyojin]

So the original Time could have had Time’s piano part then straight to Way of the Fire. That’s crazy. Hope someone makes a version of that here.

[@thegoblonoid]

They ignored my question god dammit! Now I will drown my sorrows in ONE☝️ beer.

[@franticamber946]

Teemu's background looks like he is a House of Dragon character lol

[@ilikevideos4868]

Reminds me of the fire tribe in Avatar: the last airbender

[@juliogutierrez7497]

14:27 i did the exact same question hahaha specially storm. Damn i'll to see the drum playthroughs of all the album. And beautiful death there is no drum cam video of that song. Kai Hahto the one and only. Edit: DO IT KAI PLEASEEEE hahaha.

[@Pandamnic]

Mates, my wife and I are itching for a NA tour.

[@lekalla]

Great episode and Jari's head at 1:18:30 😂

[@ilikevideos4868]

So when are we going to see the videos Kai found?!

[@tobieshmusic]

Kai Hahto talks about playing drums for over 30 bands like that's nothing crazy 😂😂

[@tobieshmusic]

And Teemu keeps smiling wtf

[@Jairon_Junior]

@@tobieshmusic Almost seems that he, didn't want to participate actually

[@tobieshmusic]

@@Jairon_Junior Bro was in another dimension lmao

[@queenssv6569]

Terveisiä Alppikylästä. Teemun kaulakoru kiinnostelisi, mistähän tuollaisen voisi ostaa vai onko kustomoitu?

[@Peelomies93]

Based Jukka, I still use Winamp to this day!

[@dmr87]

Hi Jari, guys here

[@seethenight5371]

yeah 👍

[@memories93087]

Milloin uus podcast ☺

[@PKua007]

Jari, you have to put a bass solo (or a clearly exposed bass part - take for example the beginning of Nighwish - Feel For You) in at least one of the songs from the future album material! It would be so cool!

[@PKua007]

Oooooh, or maybe even bass-guitar-battle type solo!

[@Pave999]

Teemu mentioned Valco ANC headphones... 27:43 I think Valco guys have at least the worlds boldest marketing strategy. 🤣 Raimo...

[@ilikevideos4868]

Paljon Jari nostaa penkistä?

[@brunofrancisco9992]

if Megadeth came to brazil, wintersun have to come to latin america as well

[@PKua007]

Congrats on 9000 backers!

[@clem_chret]

If you need awesome metal music Jari, go check Andy Gillion's solo project (if you don't know him) ! An amazing writter

[@jamesjackson4210]

Hey Jari, there was some footage of you and Kai with GoPro's on youtube, I believe it was your perspective of beyond the dark sun, and Kai playing Winter Madness behind the kit (making nosies like Animal from the muppets lol) do you know what happened to them videos? is it possible it may be recovered when you guys look into old wintersun footage? cheers

[@Patralgan]

Yeah I was searching those too the other day, but they seem gone :(

[@zaku2939]

I’m going to need the keys to Teemu’s Lamborghini

A question for Jari: Is there a specific reason why you stopped playing guitar and singing?
