He's done it again. Banger after banger after banger. Jari you sick fuck, please never die and keep making tracks.

Just slammed down my 6th beer, holy fuck I missed you Jari, this is what I was waiting for all those years. Amazing.

I dont think its fair that hes not releasing the new forest seasons to who bought it originally. really need to

[@Tjeftn]

@@TheSadistNat1on I understand your perspective. However, it's important to acknowledge that musicians arent too well off financially. Working in a field where I gain insight into people's finances, I've seen the income of some well-known musicians, and its not close to what one would expect . Their income isn't as stable as a typical 9-5 job; they rely on creating music or performing live. Personally, Wintersun has brought me immense happiness over the years. So, the modest 50 euros I spent on both the album and the forest pack pale in comparison to the joy they've brought me. If supporting the forest pack contributes to the creation of more music like Time II, it's absolutely worth it to me.

If you told me this was hidden track on Ensiferum debut album I would absolutely believe you. This is so up my alley! (also, remaster of that album would be amazing hehe)

[@KristophM]

So true!

[@andrasstaub5286]

I would definitely love a remaster of that album and the Iron album!

I think Irons production is great already, but the debut could use a little clean up imo@@andrasstaub5286

[@zeroieperdepiep]

@@TheSadistNat1on Please, stop this to boredom repeated yearning about what you don't have (to have to) and start being happy and enjoy what you already have. Your boring copy/paste addiction is really rather pathetic. I even haven't buyed the original 'Four Seasons', but I'll buy it for sure, and I'll buy the 'Time Package' too. And no, I'm not a rich man, I have to consider every buy I do. But: still a happy, positive vibe, that life of mine. I just managed to survive a crazy deadly illness, and I ain't even sure that it never will return. So when I see such ridiculous comments, that kind of senseless yearning, I can't help to think, "Truly sorry, enjoy your life, enjoy what you have, or go get a life, buy one...". I wish you a happy life, I really do 🙏🙂.

[@windrider6124]

Nice one !

[@Britishwolf89]

Man, this old stuff just proves how Jari was the heart and soul of the first 2 Ensiferum albums. I mean, they are still releasing good stuff but those 2 albums were a different level.

We've travelled to a parallel universe where jari never left ensiferum. And this is the result. I love it !

@TheSadistNat1on that's ridiculous. He fulfilled his obligations with the Forest Package, there's no reason to give away new products afterward. This is like saying that because you bought a vinyl LP in the 1970s, you should be given the remasters on CD and streaming in the following decades. It's unfair to hold such entitlement.

[@Soturi_the_paladin]

On first listen, from 4:15 and onwards I got fully immersed and teleported into a battlefield of another age. So grateful for Jari Ensiferum era

[@sat8959]

Another kickass demo. Surprised you haven't polished and released these before. Even in this demo state these songs absolutely blow 90% of similar music out of the water. You nail every theme you write about.

lol..ur funny. we paid literally alot of money for nothin essentially but to help him, and he gained 505k. i like that u think u know what ur sayn, but people who do work for him, say, "Jari is a nightmare" . now i love his music more than u for sure, but i also like being a legit person and he hasn't been in this shit. so sayn im whiny isnt a fact. im beign realistic for what i paid money for. how is sayn i should get the thing i paid money for whiny, answer that exact question..how do we pay $50 for a digital thing these days and not still get that thing when its the improved thing..seriously give me a good answer, u wont have cuz there isnt one..but u talked shit so lets see what u spew again at me@@anetteridleyrodriguez

[@Iispj]

Just discovered wintersun a couple days ago after coming across time 1 and listened to all the albums. Very glad I decided to try it. Preordered the reissues and got the time 2 package. Very excited! Also gonna be getting the vinyl and cd for time 2 when those are available

[@WintersunJari]

Awesome, thank you very much!

[@FurkanBahadr]

I am genuinely more exited about these demos than Time II. They are so raw and beautiful

[@RawkHawkRockin]

Ι know right. Jari could have released just the demos part of the package without anything else (not even Time 2) and it would still be totally worth it.

[@thewildhealer541]

I love these demos and I love Ensiferum but man let's not downplay an album that they have been working on for more than a decade. I just know Time 2 won't be a letdown and will be one of the best albums in the history of Jari's music journey

[@RawkHawkRockin]

​@@thewildhealer541Not downplaying anything here though, I'd buy both the demos and Time 2 even if they were separate (already preordered)

[@gregnaxx7895]

Pirates and Finland ❤ Running Wild 😂❤

[@LoopboyAndThe12infinities]

Jari this is TOO good wtf... how can you keep this from us for so many years. It feels surreal listening to such good new material especially from my favourite era of your music, I find your talent in writing riffs and melodies absolutely unmatched. While I do enjoy your newer "wall of sound" direction you've shifted to and don't mind some orchestrations, in my opinion nothing beats your older stuff in ensif and the debut album. A true virtuoso and genius of our time that has unfortunately gone unnoticed and unfunded. I sincerely thank you for releasing these tracks and letting me relive that inspiration I felt all those years ago.

[@twise95]

Lovin' this Jari, so worth the long wait! Can't believe we get to be taken back to that era of epic early Ensiferum/Wintersun, those songs make their rounds in my playlist daily. Can't wait to see what comes with the future releases, and hopefully hear some of these live one day! Glad I made my preorder🤘🤘

[@WintersunJari]

Appreciate it, thank you!

[@seththehobbit2066]

OMG! Are we gonna have a pirate arc? I love you more and more Jari! 🖤Thank you on making us fans thirsty of Wintersun music! 🤘

[@elmano1202]

Finally a full song I can play on repeat till Time II releases, thank you so much!!

[@windrider6124]

Holy shit this made my day good sir ! Truly great song in the good old vein of Ensiferum meets Running Wild. Nostalgic greatness 🤘🤘

[@emootikoah8156]

This doesnt need remixing or any orchestrations, it sounds great.

[@V77710]

Yeah, like when Eluveitie re done ''druid'' I was so excited, only to learn I prefer the more raw original.

[@haroldhoover3775]

So 50 something tracks of the early demos?? This is just gonna be the best musical release I've ever experienced.

[@bitbraindev]

I hope that in many years, after the 4 big albums are completed, you may find some time re-recording some of these legendary tracks. Perhaps Patreon fans could even vote on which songs that should be re-recorded first. With this song in particular, I can even imagine a music video of Jari being a captain of a ship, sailing towards a giant storm. 🏴‍☠🏴‍☠🏴‍☠

[@mmm-wk4xw]

Listening to metal while crocheting is a unique experience that I recommend to everyone.

[@ccsleipnir4440]

I went to see wintersun in oslo 2018, wacken 2018, karmøygeddon 2019, and denmark 2019. Those 50 euros are nothing. i beg you to tour when you have the chance jari, it has been too long.

Been a sailor for 14 years of my life. Absolutely loved my time out at sea.

Lyrics: (misheard) Argh! Hey hey hey I sail to the ocean towards the red horizon But I feel no fear to find what it may await I sail through the storms And through the time Conquering the world I rule the seas with might and the power of the gunfire (My name shall be eternal) In history! Cause I am the pirate Black Night And I'm walk the seas with fire I am fierce and the bravest man And the gold is my desire I am the pirate Black Night And I take whatever I please Those who stand in my way Are made to beg Down on their knees Warriors Growl! The black skies ??? the wind Blackened water embraces my ship I raise my ???? To celebrate our victory Let the cannons thunder in the air The revolution takes its course And let the freedom reign in our hearts ( I will ?? And the stones of the warrior) Cause I am the pirate Black Night And I walk the seas with fire I am fierce and the bravest man And the gold is my desire I am the pirate Black Night And I take whatever I please Those who stand in my way Are made to beg Down on their knees Slow/fast riff Let the cannon thunder in the air Let the cannon thunder in the air Make the revolution take it course And let the freedom reign in our hearts My swords taken by ... I spare no one who stands against me! Cause I am the pirate Black Night And I walk the seas with fire I am fierce and the bravest man And the gold is my desire I am the pirate Black Night And I take whatever I please Those who stand in my way Are made to beg Down on their knees Graaawl!

Everything Jari touches turns to gold! He is indeed a Mozart of our time!

[@Banthapootoo]

Indeed!

[@mallorn4195]

Mozart created over 60 symphonies, 21 operas and hundreds of instrumental pieces each of which is infinitely more complex than anything Jari has ever done. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Wintersun fan and I really like the neo-classical elements, but comparing Jari with Mozart is just ridiculous...

[@00SuperHAN00]

@@mallorn4195 Art is not a competition. It’s not about who wrote more songs or played more notes. Art is also very personal, there is no way to determine which musician is superior to another. For some people, Metallica could be the best band on earth, while others regard some nameless indie band as their favorite. And just because music is more complex, it doesn't mean it is superior. Art is about balance, not volume.

[@mallorn4195]

I never claimed that it is a competition, quite the opposite. My point is that these musicians can't be compared. There's this trend to call anyone with some nice melodies the new Mozart which I am critical about.

[@00SuperHAN00]

@@mallorn4195I respect how you feel about it, but after all, that is your personal opinion, not a definitive rule or truth. Everybody feels differently about things; the way I feel about Mozart does not necessarily have to be the same as how you feel. I mentioned Mozart because he is an icon of musical genius who composed timeless masterpieces. You and I are just comparing different aspects, qualities that Mozart possesses.

[@dwarghame4761]

So nice to hear some tunes that probably was in mind for Jaris Ensiferum albums, which in my mind was the very peak of his work. Wintersun is awesome in many ways, but different from the raw young energy of the early 2000s when folkmetal "ruled" the World. Exceptional talent with noteworthy odd ways of composing. 🤟🏻
