Wintersun - Storm First Reaction (Time II album)

[@Imfreehowaboutu]

This song is epic af. So far it's my favorite track on the album🤘

[@metalanthology]

An incredible song indeed, so much intensity and epicness, will be in my top favourite tracks of the year close to the top for sure 🤘🏼🖤

[@Tibis42]

The buildup before the quiet part towards the end is what makes this song so damn good for me. Those harmonies are incredible!

[@metalanthology]

After the long very intense part, the acoustic elements and the following solos are such a blessing, totally agree mate, cheers 🤘🏼🖤

Storm took the longest to get into for me but now I absolutely love it. The buildup towards the slow part is amazing and the slow part itself is mesmerizing. Beautiful, beautiful track.

[@metalanthology]

Storm is a track you absolutely have to listen without doing anything else to appreciate it to the fullest because of the intensity that requires all your attention. wonderful song and that solo is fantastic 🥰🖤🤘🏼

Same here! I have listened Time II like 20+ times already from start to finish and thought for the first five listening times that this is the "weakest" song to me in this album. God how wrong was I. This is the strongest and most epic song of this album! Absolutely fantastic, intense and beautiful song! All four of these musicians gave us everything they have. Kai is crazy good and violent at drums, Jukka's bass kicking like hell, Teemu is an absolute beast and unit on guitar and Jari's voice is such a blessing. I have never ever heard music so perfect and polished like this. Thank you Jari for birthing yet another beautiful gem to us, I will cherish this foreeeeever, foreveeeer! 🔥🔥♥️

I always say that most of the best songs ever composed take time to be appreciated to their true value, you need to invest to be rewarded. Storm is a complex intense yet soothing at the end piece filled with tons of emotions. Great on you to listen to it more and now you’re getting all the details and interpretations that made you totally fell for it 🖤. Cheers mate, hope to see more of your well rounded comments onwards, cheers 🤘🏼

1. One with the shadows 2. Storm. Both ridiculously amazing songs 🙏💯

[@metalanthology]

The Way of The Fire is up there too and probably my favourite from the album. All 3 are amazing songs to me 🤘🏼🖤

[@martinfranzen9151]

@@metalanthology I really like The Way of The Fire and it's probably my nr. 3 if i had to choose but there is a really good thing in all of this and that's that all songs from this album are amazing and i love that different people have different favourites 🙏

[@metalanthology]

Yeah a lot of people have Silver Leaves at first and personally it’s easily my least favourite out of the four still I appreciate it.

[@martinfranzen9151]

@@metalanthology i've had the same thought about that song. With that said, good song! 👏🤟

[@jonjones3958]

This is THE song of the album... directly from the God's

[@metalanthology]

This is a really special song, so much intensity and yet memorable melodies and beauty at the end 🤘🏼🖤

[@wondertim0]

Great song, and the latter half guitar solo phew... and yeah the ending could have been small interlude song, just like Omnious Clouds

[@metalanthology]

Exactly what I thought and that outro solo was stunning, cheers mate 🤘🏼🖤

[@JohnDoe-rj8nd]

Such an insane song, spectacular. I would say it's the peak of the album, but there is still Silver Leaves (I don't consider either better than the other though). Can't say I agree about cutting the end to be an interlude. I like the choice of having it be part of the song personally.

[@metalanthology]

That’s one of the best song of the year personally and I think The Way of the Fire is even better. One with the Shadows seduced me a lot too, more than Silver Leaves which is my least favourite out of the four 🙃! The 2min30 outro of Storm starting with thunder and rain just doesn’t had anything relevant to me so I would rather just go straight into Silver Leaves haha. It’s a band that generates passion, I love how almost everybody has a slightly different perception and appreciation of it, I’m so glad it’s finally out for us to dive head first into it, cheers mate 🤘🏼🖤

[@jeeve12]

"Kai is on fire on this one" Hell yeah! Pas pour rien qu'ils l'on mit en cover du wallpaper pour cette toune la! Incroyable chanson encore une fois. La version 2db est encore meilleur si tu as acheté le package.

[@jeeve12]

Aussi, je m'attendais a un outro de 3 min d'orage et de pluie, le solo ma pris par surprise! J'etais habituer au live version ou y'a pas ca :P

[@metalanthology]

Si seulement le mix permettait d’entendre tous les détails dans le jeu de Kai, ça serait une coche meilleure encore, quelle performance. Toute une toune d’intensité et le solo d’outro est délectable, je me serais passé du tonnerre et de la pluie haha, inutile 😬, cheers mec 🤘🏼

[@jeeve12]

Haha je suis d'accord que ca aurais pu être séparé dans une autre 2 minute interlude mais bon, quand tu écoute storm back a back avec silver leaves c'est bien

[@metalanthology]

Dans un contexte d'immersion totale dans l'album, ça passe mieux même si ça fait long un peu pareil, toutefois je comprends l'idée derrière. Pink Floyd le faisait beaucoup et ça m'énervait hahaha même si j'adore le band :P
