If Shostakovitch made Metal, this would be it.

Is Fucking Great !!!!

Такую аранжировку изговнякать таким голосом👎

This is the best song ever!!!!!!!!!

Why so happy?

I am looking forward to the full version of this soooooo much!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

The bit that starts around 3:30 right before the break is one of my favorite sections of music ever

Hardly even recognized Asim with the glasses and hair back lol

The Fountain of Life riff. The Grim War. Very Conan. Love it!!!

Asim Searah. When Jari chose not to play guitar, he chose him. What a perfect fit for that time. For him to play so well with Teemu is an ultimate testament of his guitar skills. Love this!

Tbh, I'm pretty frustrated now when I listen to any music, including Wintersun. No matter what it is and how amazing it is, it's not much compared to The Way of the Fire in terms of how it sounds (the song itself is also unparalleled anyhow). I want to listen to it so badly.

Given this is one of my favorite songs, I transcribed the lyrics for it too :) --- The war is here, among us... When the sword is now my only friend... One hundred years of battle! Death will come for all men! Join us! 'Cause we possess the steel of the gods! Ride beyond the stars of the north! The warriors of the flame! Follow the path of the blood red moon! The path through the dark! Never fear dead my friends! But we shall prevail! While steel will rule forever! The steel of the gods! One hunderd years of battle... Death shall come for all men... Burning flames in my eyes! Burning flames of war! Ride beyond the stars of the north! The warriors of the flame! Follow the path of the blood red moon! The path through the dark! Never fear dead my friends! But we shall prevail! While steel will rule forever! The steel of the gods! With all our strength, we strike! And we never go down without a fight! Join us! 'Cause we're always the cruelest! We are the hunters of the mystic forest! Entire legions, buried under the snow. The fire in our hearts is as strong, as the steel of the gods. The war is here among us! But the storm is now my only friend! One hundred years of battle! Destruction for all men! Burning flames in my eyes... Burning flames of war... Entire legions, buried under the snow! The fire in our hearts is as strong, as the steel of the gods! Ride beyond the stars of the north! The warriors of the flame! Follow the path of the blood red moon! The path through the dark! Never fear dead my friends! But we shall prevail! While steel will rule forever! The steel of the gods!

I hope you keep us updated on youtube about everything. I don't use facebook or instagram

Congrats. This is now the favorite song of my 3-year old :D He now likes Korpiklaani, Alestorm and Wintersun. Guys, I think I am winning at this parenting thing x)

So when does the fantasy metal project album release?! 😛 🙂

No one could foresee this. It’s mind-blowing to hear such a melancholy and magical track produced in the 90’s sounds so fitting for today. We all can hear the Black Metal influence but also feel The Path To Where No Band Goes. Amazing!

This motherfucker really said "does it djent" and then played fucking Sad But True 😂 good troll

Disgustingly clean Winter Madness solo from Teemu

Now that Time II is actually coming out, I'd be down for an EP in this style lol

We might just add another category to Metal, "Opera Death Metal".

This is just pure magic. Many of us had lost faith in you but this fantastic comeback is just epic.

This master piece kick my ass so hard that I can't walk anymore May we have the whole song? I took the time ii package (My best investment for 2024 anyway) But I definitely CAN'T WAIT!

DAYUMMMM

It tooks too long... Time I was a perfect and complete release. I really expect to listen Time II and hope, expect and wish as complete as the first release. So far it invites to trust a new masterpiece is coming.

Forming the universe WITH OUR BAAAAAAALLLS!!!!!

Title: "Wintersun Guitar Lick" Actual video: *plays 17 different individual licks*

Asim has such great stage presence man, what a performer!

I have to admit the Time II stress ball was really fucking funny

This... gave me goosebumps

I actually can not believe this is finally here. The things I have gone through between the self titled release and this.. Jari truly showed us what time really meant!

I remember being obsessed with Wintersun in the 00's and having a bebo page in 2008 with the title 'Time, the only thing between us and the next Wintersun album' If I had known that Jari was sitting on this material all that time, I would have died of happiness. Honestly unbelievable music.

too much explosions into my ear in remasters but this is probably new age of volume up stuff.. it is good to invade my ears then to enjoy my ears setting..

GREAT MASTERPIECE!!!!

Hey I was there!

A forgotten past that's been chained down, fear the Dragon for it's lived beyond most

Those sweeps 0:13

Joinnn us

Maravillosa... No me canso de escucharla... 😌💕👏

Literally Ensiferum.

...WELL CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!!

Jari, you are the ultimate metal Wizard no doubt. Why have you made us wait this long?

10:44 Could this have been for one of those upcoming albums jari was talking about in the time package video?

Trance like lets go Jari try to MIND F ME lol

Artificial intelligence develops to the level where it can create ready-made music and then Wintersun starts publishing songs. Coincidence? I think NOT!

5:32 me looking for cheap beer in my refrigerator.

The awakening of darkened skies (Falling from the dark) The symphony of dying lights (Behold the rain of stars) The blazing fire came pouring down (Falling from the dark) And life and death became unbound Sons of winter and stars! Rise! Sons of winter and stars! Rise! Sons of winter and stars! Rise! Rise! Fly with us through the darkness (Sons of winter and stars! Rise! Rise!) And we shall embrace the stars (Sons of winter and stars!) And we shall open the doors of time (Rise! Rise!) I have awaken the darkness (Taste the fear!) (Taste the pain!) I am the one who seeks vengeance (I am the one who seeks vengeance) Into the darkness we fly Into the shadows they hide Into the darkness we fly They will never survive They'll die Oh, they will die! I sacrifice everything Just for one moment I throw away everything That matters to me the most I'm flying through the darkness The fire casts a shadow on me I tear a part of my heart for creation of dimensions And we fly beyond the restless shadows We fly beyond the stars We fly beyond the birth of the worlds So old I've become (Thousand years staring into emptiness) But now I realize (That it was just an illusion) All this time I thought it was you that would save the sun Oh rain comes and washes the hate away (Washes the hate away) Now I am at the crossroads with questions (With questions!) Somewhere, someday I will find what I am here for Who am I? I'm wondering now where will you take me From the horizon the light comes alive Into the mountains high we set our way Will we find our way in this long winter night I see the land of fading sun and rising mountains And I finally feel that I've found my home But oh, how it feels so cold when My dreams wither in fragments of time Revealing that this land will die Before the winds so cold (Falling snow) The world was shattered in the fragments of time (So soft and cold) Before the autumn rains (Dying moon cast down so weak) The coldness will again awake Frozen lake, the dancing spirits Calling me to join in the cosmic dream The silence is tempting me now... We are the sons of winter and stars We've come from a far beyond time Forever the fire burns in our hearts Our world shall never die In the arms of the wind we ride till dawn As the waves of the ocean grind so strong We wander in the stars until we're gone Our fate is sealed by eternal sun We are the sons of winter and stars We've come from a far beyond time Forever the fire burns in our hearts Our world shall never die In the arms of the wind we ride till dawn As the waves of the ocean grind so strong We wander in the stars until we're gone Our fate is sealed by eternal sun Until we fade away (Fate will find it's way) Until we drift into the dark It's not too late to find a way (Fate will find it's way) And fly in cold embrace of stars Until we fade away (Mysteries of time) Until we drift into the dark (Unfolding in cosmic dreams) It's not too late to find a way (Leaving life and death meaningless) And fly in cold embrace of stars (Before the revelation of infinity) Embrace the stars! The energy flows in me like a river of stars (The energy flows in me like a river of stars) I'm surrounded by the circle of fire But eternal ice has frozen my heart I'm lost in the pathways of time Now the time has come for us! We are the sons of winter and stars We've come from a far beyond time Forever the fire burns in our hearts Our world shall never die In the arms of the wind we ride till dawn As the waves of the ocean grind so strong We wander in the stars until we're gone Our fate is sealed by eternal sun We are the sons of winter and stars! We are the sons of winter and stars

Those arpeggios right before the actual solo are almost more ridiculous than the solo itself lol

Welcome Megadeth fans!

It's so cool that they did this for the whole album
