Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios - REACTION!

[@Rebella1337]

I love seeing people react to Wintersun for the first time. When I first heard it, it just moved me to places I've never been before, and knocked my fucking socks off, and I'm still not wearing any socks. All time favorite band and will remain that way until the day I die. Every single song of theirs is a masterpiece. They are absolutely incredible live. The songwriting, lyricism.... melodically... everything is just out of this world material, and it is crafted by the big nosed troll called Jari Mäenpää. I don't think the world has ever seen a musical genius of this proportion. His epicness is analogous to if you took all the regarded best classical composers of all time, and compressed them into one man, one god of melody. Check out Wintersun - Time live rehearsal at sonic pump studios next! The solo on that song is so beautiful and epic that it often makes me cry.

[@sugoruyo]

Every time I watch this video I'm just bummed out that I can't erase it from my memory and watch it for the first time again. It is quite the experience to hear them for the first time.

[@moonwolf2251]

Rebecca Hope I love seeing you here and at the other channel.A beautiful soul...

[@Rebella1337]

^^

[@RBdestroyer3321]

I can agree with you, hearing Wintersun for the first time was some of the craziest euphoria ive ever gotten from music

[@OwnedByGalatea]

2004 i first heard em :) When they started, they prolly dont remember guy called Lindgren?

[@jonathanschmidt7874]

Wintersun is what happens if you crank the skill of everybody involved up past 10 :D

[@Rebella1337]

cranked to infinity and beyond :D

[@sugoruyo]

Wintersun is what happens when you take the best Elven Master craftsmen of Metal in the land and give them infinite skill points. Sons of Winter and Stars is what happens when take those guys and give them infinite stamina too.

[@RealEyes24]

their last album sucks, i mean the forest seasons...

[@Rebella1337]

I think it's you who sucks :)

[@xooperz]

+RealEyes it's not quite Time, but it's still very good. Lacks Kai Hahto too.

[@Patralgan]

The thing is that Jari Mäenpää (the mastermind behind the band and the lead vocalist) get these absolutely insane visions for music that are way way beyond most people and he spent many years crafting this masterpiece and even then he said that he had to make big compromises because lack of resources to realise his visions. All of his songs are absolutely brilliant but this one is his "magnum opus" and easily my all time favourite song. It's just musically in a whole new category to virtually all other songs I've heard. The song "Time" is also Insanely epic, but much more emotional, you should check it out. Also the live performance of the unreleased song "The Way of the Fire" is just from another universe altogether, very highly recommended, although I'm sure the finished studio version will be a lot better. Also don't you dare miss their new album "The Forest Seasons", coming out 21th of this month. It has more massively epic and beautiful music, but with more primitive sound. Great video!

[@borderlifestyle7917]

Patralgan He told that his Magnum opus is Starchild, and he makes a better, far away better version of starchild in this song. And the next one, is The Way Of The Fire in Time II

[@entrophany]

I'd love to see Mäenpää and Hans Zimmer join forces to a most epic theatratical masterpiece of all time and space. That would be the soundtrack of Life, Universe, and Everything. A series of symphonies to end all wars. A set of vibrations to unveil the curtains of yet unknown science. A tool to for our species to harness time and light and move on to celestial eternity.

[@damiengrief]

Wintersun is an experience. My favorite band for sure. Jari is in insane musician and songwriter. He used to be the singer for the band Ensiferum before forming Wintersun, too. Others have suggested listening to the song "Time"...which is great. But I also recommend a couple songs from their first album, too like "Winter Madness" or "Starchild". I got to see Wintersun live in a very tiny venue (maybe 200 people). They played the entire album that this song was from. It was amazing. They sound just as good live as they do on their albums. When this song came on, the entire crowd sang along with their arms around each other. It was amazing.

[@OwnedByGalatea]

Kai Hahto, one of the best drummers in the world atm, absolute beast!!!!!

[@Galacticat_]

You should react to the song Time, also from Sonic Pump Studios. They have a new album coming out later this month. Can't wait!

[@jabrane1564]

Josh Grooves I second this

[@VisualLoulou]

Even with the messed up sound at the beginning that's worth to check indeed!

[@borderlifestyle7917]

Josh Grooves EVERYBODY NEEDS THE FOREST SEASONS

[@ven8107]

I didn't like it cuz half-assed album

[@theotadros2040]

TFS is pretty bad tbh.

[@emootikoah8156]

Wintersun are one of those rare bands, they don't have a bad song! Listen to Winter Madness and Time also by them, they're a couple of my personal favourites :D

[@theotadros2040]

Sadly that was true 3 weeks ago but it's not anymore...

[@BW_Drums]

None of the songs from The Forest Seasons are bad. In my opinion, two of them are absolutely fantastic, the other two are good, but not as good.

[@OPJ1974]

That incredible man behind drum set is Kai Hahto, IMO one of the greatest heavy metal drummers of all time. Very, very technical but also musical and has that certain groove even with hight tempos like this. He also plays other genres as well, even jazz, and has studied a degree in drumming technique (called Alexander technique) in New York. Currently he plays with Nightwish - you should react to one of their songs... maybe Ghost Love Score live at Tampere 2015, Poet and the Pendulum live at Barona Areena 2015(OR any other song from their latest live release, Vehicle of Spirit for that matter).

[@KreshDraven6]

Wintersun is fantastic, one of the best bands i've ever heard .Each song is an experience. It's the kind of band that don't have an bad song. I can't wait for the new album !! You should react to Time at this same studio or Winter Madness (this song have an absolutely killer solo)

[@MikkoRantalainen]

See here for just Teemu playing the Winter Madness solo to get better idea what he's doing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/enW9nIdumZeii5o

[@MountainMetal]

"Holy shit. I don't even know what to say. That shit was live." Yep. 😯 Advanced Metal. Phenomenal Musicians. Good job!

[@Esarix]

Been a fan for years, and still getting fucking shivers.

[@mrspliffdoctor4807]

This song is near perfection, the Voice tell the story and the Music guides the way into a neverending winterparadise, the Sons of Winter and Stars.

[@swarm69]

Wintersun - Time same live rehearsal, the begining is screwed up the adio wasnt working properly but the other 9+ min is still golden

[@Rebella1337]

Yes. Only the intro is muted ^^

time to react Wintersun - Time then

[@LeonBlackbird]

Emrecan Gürbüz I once cried with Time. It's like feeling the same pain as Jari is having. It breaks your soul with such beauty and brilliance you couldn't even imagine before.

indeed my friend indeed

[@VerrusD]

man its maybe right now?

[@lukasgraesslin]

Wintersun are incredible! There are two more songs from this live rehearsal: "Time" (the intro is muted, but the actual song is unmuted) and "Land of Snow and Sorrow". Also I recommend listening to "Winter Madness" from the first album. There is no proper video for it but it has (in my opinion) the best metal guitar solo ever written. And yeah, they're live as good as in the video. Jari (the Singer and Mastermind) put down the guitar live lately to conenctrate fully on vocals, so they got another guitarist in the band.

[@kjaniga17]

Lukas Grässlin My sentiments exactly! That Winter Madness solo makes me weep tears of blood

[@TorryXD]

DUDE 100% check out the first song of their Wintersun - Live at Nummirock 2017 FULL 4k vid on the wintersunjari channel, they played the new song Awaken From The Dark Slumber (Spring) and its fucking AMAZING

[@cobucreations4547]

I saw it but i don't want to listen to it. I ordered album and i want to listen first in best quality :D

[@TorryXD]

i did the same but i when i saw it i couldnt hold myself away :P

[@barroomhero134]

yeah I'm not sure I've heard a better example of seamless blending of technical brilliance with emotional gravitas and intensity. Will be listening to them more for sure.

[@blakkermambaa]

Awwwwww yeaaaaaaaaaaa! Battle Against Time, Death and Healing, and Winter Madness are all amazing from Wintersun.

[@marigoldalpha577]

Wintersun is THE epic band. I would keep a look out for new songs.

[@Avliv_Satan]

Fucking love Wintersun, they're great in every aspect, but yeah, definitely check out Time, it's just so melodically perfect.

[@haisuli1458]

Love it love it love it

[@TJ-fr8xx]

I bloody love these guys. They are coming to australia next month... but I might be in prison for being a drunken metal head... fuck i hope my judge listens to wintersun... every song they do is great!

[@sorkeror]

SONS OF WINTER AND STARS! RISE!

[@slnd]

About time man awesome band! Can't wait for the pre-orders to arrive on the 21st!

[@woozzaap9840]

Kevin de los Santos hell yeah!

[@vecseyadam1992]

**RECOMMENDATION AT THE END OF THE COMMENT** In the end you gave the exact explanation how you felt about the music, and also you could tell what's going on, layer-by-layer, ambient to insane drumming, riff

[@TJ-fr8xx]

I bloody love these guys!

[@tr3ndkiller]

[@AlfOfAllTrades]

As far as I am concerned... this is a great christmas tune. Merry Christmas! :)

[@chacehorsman2615]

[@UserUser-xo8qm]

You haven't disappointed me :) Normal reaction on Wintersun. Keep on lestenig. Earlier they were playing in Ensiferum. But now Jari led Wintersun to the top.

[@thecalichris1149]

[@paulretzbach9583]

[@gabolujan]

[@AndrewJShirley]

Such a fantastic song, technically insane, vicious without being too heavy, fast, fun, just awesome fucking shit man!!

[@anniespassion1093]

I freaking LOVED your reaction! Wintersun is the most diverse musically in their genre's and of course Ioved the whole Time 1 album! New album out next Friday from them so I do hope you will catch that as well!

[@Solterie1]

TesseracT - Of Matter (studio live) has to be reacted to!

[@Alof83]

JakePriest Exactly what I just requested. I won't stop until he does it. I'm fully confident it will blow his mind.

[@thordiesel6.7]

I agree ^

[@MountainMetal]

This was bleeping LIVE! Incredible talent. Amazing musicians. Every one of them. You aren't the only one left mostly speechless. Please try them live from Tuska, remastered, 'Winter Madness', and any of their colorful music videos. Thank-you!

[@FarazOloumi]

That poor drummer probably had a heart attack after this rehearsal! wow...just ... wow

[@mramd9062]

Wintersun -Time next please, you will love it. The Instrumental intro alone takes 5 minutes.... EPIC. Epic reaction

[@PancakeInvaders]

You should check out some more Ne Obliviscaris, maybe "Devour Me, Colossus, Pt. 1 (Blackholes)", or "Painters of the Tempest (Part II): Triptych Lux"

[@Bonehead777]

Definitely up there with the best metal ever written

[@luisferreira9632]

You should react to some more of these guys material because it's something truly out of this world! Great reaction BTW ;) cheers from Portugal!

[@MrDusan0808]

Glad you liked the song man ! If you want to hear more great stuff from this band, try listening to the song called Time (there is a live studio rehearsal as well) and you can also listen to Sadness and Hate from their first album ;)

FINALLY FUCK YEAH

[@markfrancis6886]

Uplifting nails it in one word

[@MNOMST]

I highly recommend you listen to Whispered - Strike... Wintersun has been my favourite band ever since Winter Madness and these guys are one of very few bands that have come close to being as awesome for me.

[@DJCW_]

Jari Mäenpää is a fucking legend!

[@Freddespelarspel]

React to IZEGRIM - Time To Run. Female fronted Death Metal band.

[@MindFreak2020202020]

Deep Purple - Child In Time would be a great one to check out and another different type of tunes to listen to.

[@anembersarc]

Wintersun are godly

[@Ulluroo]

If there was any song that I could forget and get to re-experience, it would be Sons of Winter and Stars. Jari's Magnus Opus right there, unless he can out do himself in the future. Which he has been known to do, I look forward to Time II.

[@Pepedori]

Okay, You liked Wintersun, next one (and even better) from Finland is Insomnium - While We Sleep. You WILL NOT be disappointed, trust me.

[@brunomorere2016]

[@hmmm9806]

If you like Wintersun you should check out Wolfheart!! Songs "The flood" and "Routa Pt.2" are amazing!!!

[@NightWhiteFantasy]

Do you know that Jari, the guitarist & main composer for WIntersun, said in a recent interview that the way Time I was put together, was a huge compromise, as compared to the way it was originally planned. In other words, it was meant to be something more grandeous than what it already sounds! :O

[@DjimmyTrovy]

Nice reaction. Cheers :D

[@AwesomeRainbowLP1]

There are Lyric Videos of their new Album which came out this year. Maybe you wanna try these out? The new album is amazing by the way. :)

[@666Snav]

I've been a fan of Jari since his days with Ensiferum, I recommend songs by this Mozart of this century Check: Starchild - Wintersun Into Battle - Ensiferum Time - Wintersun Lai Lai Hei - Ensiferum

[@sidoso9810]

Wait for new album on friday. Forest Seasons. It will be awesome just as all Wintersun albums :D. Listen to Starchild, Battle against time and Time

[@ParadoxTimeline]

Check out Xanthochroid. I'd recommend "The sound which has no name" or "Blessed he with boils" (no videos tho) but they have also a beautiful cover of Wintersuns "Land of snow and sorrow" :) Oh and you might like "Drop the baby" from Mycelia.

[@helliswithin1626]
