    A little bit of a story behind the band. Wintersun was created by Jari Mäenpää. It was meant as his side project while he was a vocalist on Enisiferum. He was kicked from that band when their schedules collided. He composed and recorded the first album (called Witnersun) all by himself. Vocals, guitars, bass, synth. He didn't do drums. He sent a demo to Kai Hahto in hopes that he would agree to record it for him. Kai loved it so much that he not only recorded the drums but joined Jari as a full time member.
    Their next album "Time" was with the full band. It was however in the works since 2006 and been released in 2012 after a lot of problems. Supposedly no studio was able to handle the complexity of the songs and after a lot of compromises and burnout they split the album to 2 parts. We still wait for Time II and just few days ago Jari posted on facebook that he is working on 4 albums right now, but he refuses to compromise the quality of this one after what happened to Time I. So... one of these mythical albums that you kinda know that might never come out, even tho they performed the songs live YEARS ago.
    After Time I, Jari decided that he needs his own studio to record new music. To achieve that, he organized crowdfunding plan. Their 3rd album "The Forest Seasons" in 2017 was a first step for that and they gathered half of the money required to build a studio.
    A lot of fans are furious with all that. You can't scroll through their fanpage without drowning in negative remarks on how they just don't do anything and how greedy they are (well, mostly Jari as HE IS Wintersun and other guys are just there to play). I guess it's understandable - no other band claims that they need their own studio to release their stuff and fans have a right to be mad. Personally I don't care as long as they create great music. It would be nice to hear it tho lol. So... Wintersun is either worshiped or hated.

    "Aaah, stop being so good!"
    Pretty much my reaction to every single Wintersun song I've heard. The entire band is just crazy talented.
    Some other songs worth looking into are Time from the same studio playthrough and Loneliness(Winter). I would also highly recommend to check out songs from their first self-tilted album which is cemented as a top 2 album for me. Winter Madness aswell as Sleeping Stars are two very solid songs from their first album.
    In regards to who writes the songs, from what I've heard it's mainly Jari(the lead vocalist) who writes it, kind of like how Tuomas writes songs for Nightwish.
    Teemu Mäntysaari who's the lead guitarist seems to write a lot of the solos and such atleast for their older songs, and he is genuinely one of the most impressive guitarists I've ever heard.

    What I really love about this song are the two parts, one of them being the last big triumphant finale, where the vocals, guitar and bass play in 6/8 and the drums play in 4/4. I think it gives the song this fantastic feeling of a metal ballad while also keeping up the pace, driving the song forward.

    Thumbs up for Chase. As a Nightwish fan since the '90s, and a fan of Jukka, Kai is such a study in contrast. Jukka is super dramatic, and an absolute joy to watch play live. Kai is such a subdued visual presence in many Nightwish songs, almost... I mean, *visually* boring isn't fair, but it is the word that leaps to mind. Yet being less dramatic allows Kai to play with CRAZY speed and precision. He's just as enjoyable to listen to, maybe more. Reminds me of Mike Portnoy vs Mike Mangini. Going to a concert, I'd rather SEE Jukka or Portnoy, but that's doesn't make them better drummers.
    This is a WEIRD comparison, but there are parts of this song that remind me of Alestorm.

    • @LeonBlackbird
      @LeonBlackbird Před 3 lety +2

      I think it's because there's some folk metal in here. The "sons of winter and stars" are obviously vikings (so, Viking Metal), which were kind of pirates... and of course, pirate metal is a subgenre of folk metal, like Viking.

  • @cashewshalom
    @cashewshalom Před 3 lety +8

    Splendid reaction Chase! 🤘🏼😊
    Jari Mäenpää (leadsinger guitarist) writes all the songs. He is mastermind behind the band. Wintersun started as his soloproject while still playing in Ensiferum (which is great band also 👍🏼). He had to leave Ensiferum be cause Wintersun took so much time. Ensiferum fans are still bitter for that 😉. Jari is perfectionist and at least in first album Wintersun he played all the instruments but drums which Kai did.
    Other two wizards are Jukka Koskinen (backing vocals bass) and Teemu Mäntysaari (backing vocals guitar).
    They have 3 albums: Wintersun, Time1 and Forest Seasons. Sons of Winter and Stars was from Time1 and other songs are Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow both live rehearsals at Sonic Pump Studio also.

    Well Chase, I'm glad you liked it. You should try listening to the album version since it's even more layered and intricate.
    As others have mentioned the song Time from the same album is also worth a reaction. However, I would like to suggest Winter Madness from their debut album. The drums in that song makes these sound slow. It also has one of my favorite guitar solos. Jari is really playing his heart out.
    Fun fact. On their first album they hadn't really formed the band yet so the drums are by Kai and everything else is played by Jari Mäenpää. All guitars, bass and keys. The guy has some serious talent. It's just a shame that they seem so unable to release new stuff. Since their first album in 2004 they have only released two other albums. I'm starting to fear that we won't get anymore.

    You're right that there's a lot of storytelling to this song. It's a short fantasy epic, essentially.
    You'll find similar things in some of their other songs, and also in the band Jari played in before he started Wintersun: Ensiferum.
    I would recommend Ensiferum with Treacherous Gods or Slayer of Light - or both. Those are with Jari on vocals. You could also check their new vocalist, and the best song for that imo is called From Afar.

    I know it's probably too far afield for the style of your channel, but I'd recommend watching Licks and Tricks with Kai Hahto, or his drum cam of this song from Helsinki, in your own time at some point.
    It's insane how many little things he does during the song, which tend to go unnoticed unless you're solely watching him. Like the drum fill at ~3:00 in is utterly ridiculous, how he still makes the cymbal hits with perfect timing in the midst of it.

      EVERYTHING gets dislikes. Have puppies playing in a video, there will be dislikes. Once I saw a Jimmy Dore video that had a huge amount of views, like hundreds of thousands, forgot the the amount but a lot, without ANY dislikes. He made a video of it. Because it was so unreal. Begged the question "CZcams what did you do?" I have not seen my upthumbs disappear, hardly ever give downthumbs, but I don't put it past CZcams to manipulate votes.

    Just to let everybody know Kai Hahto the drummer is the original drummer Finnish grind core band called Rotten Sound what was formed early nineties (still exsist).
    He played in that croup many many years before he quits it in early 2000 and went in this croup and later in Nightwish.

      Wintersun through whispers in 2020s? Everyone who has been to metal in Finland has known about this group being one of the major nutters of Finland since Kai and Jari put it together some 2+ decades ago or so. Apparently not so deep diving experience after all...

    The harp and the aethical ooohs from the woman in the start sets the theme for the space opera, which is in the background of the song with the female choir and the futuristic tune. This group of space pirates are part of a bigger, epic thing.

    Their self-titled album is very technical and it’s typically my go-to Wintersun album, however this song is just so amazing and moving. Jari is a brilliant musician.
