    Just an hour ago I saw an interview where Kai Hahto was asked: - Now that in Nightwish, how come you don't do that incredible stuff you did on Wintersun?
    He laughed and answered: - You don't do things because you CAN, you do what serves the song.

      For those who insist on compairing Kai with Nightwish's former drummer Jukka - You have to read Kai in a different way, Jukka was the showman while Kai is more conservative in how he moves around. But look at Kai's face, have you ever seen someone looking so happy when he is banging on everything he has? And the more complicated and intricate it is, the more he smiles and look even happier.
      He is as exact as an atomic clock. Snoop around a bit here on YT Tank, you can find a fairly good number of drum cam videos with Kai.

    He still is. Kai is enganged in two bands. Just as Marko from Nightwish....
    I love both bands dearly. Nightwish wins me with elaborate wordcraft and masterfully created ensenbles and songwriting, Wintersun wins me with the powerful, ferocious energy that somehow makes me long after something I cannot quite define. Both bands make me cry at times (Shoemaker from Nightwish and this very song from Wintersun). Both are equal to me. Equally masterful in their own ways.

    I think I've listened to this song 3-4 times today (aaaand it never gets old) by different reaction youtube channels. A couple voice coachs, and a former cinema composer who picked apart all the fine orchestral nuances and said their music was cinema worthy. And now this channel, just because I absolutly love seeing people discover Wintersun for the first time, and react with such jaw-dropping surprise to all the different parts, melodies, and compositional layers (upon layers), that went into making this gorgeous masterpiece. For me the transitions with Jari's range from growls to clean vocals is just phenominally flawless. And wonderful Kai.. blast beats for days! These channels focus mainly on analysing the beauty of the music itself, yet they are missing out on the incredibly talented lyrical content...the choir and operatic elements. The stories their songs tell is just as amazing.. A true 'gallop off on a quest' across snow-swept wintery landscapes, this song has always filled my heart to bursting with love and pure enjoyment. One of the most beautifully epic songs you will ever hear in metal.

    This was one of the first "harder" metal songs i heard and i was instantly in love with it, i listened to Blind Guardian and Metallica in school when i drifted into the rock/metal crowd and they introduced me to metal. Good times. I can appreciate the beauty in all genres because if you only listen to one genre you miss so much in life. Every music has its place, every mood has its music. I listen to everything that is good doesnt matter if it is electronic, edm, harder techno/drum n bass, 80s rock (my favorite, 80s music in general) even rap sometimes when it is a good song. And i love classical music too. Greetings from Germany!

    2 more songs from that same studio sessions:
    - Time
    - Land of Winter and Sorrow
    + otherwise Loneliness.
    Jari (the singer-songwriter) got some injury to his hand, he can't play that well anymore, or at least he wouldn't be able to sing at the same time. So now he just sings, and they got a new guitarist to play his parts, 1st non-Finn in the group. I'm not sure who plays the drums when Kai can't participate, is it a back track. Many parts of this song, like the orchestra, and the choir were a back track, and Jari has made it (mostly?). This band started as his private dream, then he got some other players along, and this particular song he had worked on long - it's like his perfectionist dream - could you imagine :)
    Jari played and sang earlier in a band called Ensiferum, you may start with Lai Lai Hei (said like Ly Ly hey - compare how you say Kai Hahto). Finnish spelling is like every letter has the same value no matter where it appears in a word - ng is the exception, it's like ng in sing, only double long: namely letters written double, are double long.

    Don't worry I'm late to the party too. Found Wintersun some time last year, and I recommend you check out "Winter Madness" by them. It has probably the most insane metal guitar solo in my opinion, oddly has classical influences. Never in my wildest dreams would I be able to play it let alone come up with it. Blew me away. And i'm pretty sure 90% of the song is blast beats too lol.

And you even notice, when the headbanging does not work because of an increadible change of rythym. Very cool. This song and performance is pure art and musicianship. Thanx, Tank - you made my day!

    To really understand the skills of Kai Hahto being the human metronome, see this:
    czcams.com/video/xGc9JNP7F4w/video.html
    Basically, Kai didn't hear the first click after a pause in the middle of the song during a Nightwish gig and the whole band started off-sync with the background track. Kai figured it out and come up with a plan to fix the problem without interrupting the song. He played a custom 5/8 fill compared to original version to bring the band back into sync. (The song was Nightwish: Dark Chest of Wonders, last gig of the world tour in 2015.)
    Think about that, he was able to notice the problem, compute the time difference needed and come up with a custom fill to fix the problem in time before the chorus which would make the problem really audible. And all that while playing with the band live!

    Watching this a year after you did, after I just discovered Wintersun this week, they and Nightwish are different rabbit holes. Nightwish have risen in my opinion to one of my top 5 bands of all time, and I’m a Zeppelin, Floyd, Tool guy….. But this song….. it is in a different animal. I heard it like 5 days ago and I kind of thought it was pretty cool but too raw - I’m not generally a fan of overriding harsh vocals. But the fucking song won’t get out of my brain! It’s like it is perfectly constructed. It is fucking epic!!

Wintersun is very different from Nightwish, just a different type of masterpiece music writing. While Nightwish is my "happy mood" music, Wintersun speaks to my darker side.
