Finaly….blown away like me at first time. Their songs grow everytime you listen. You always pick something more.
If you like this, check out the other two by Wintersun from Sonic pump studios "Land of snow and sorrow" and "Sons of winter and stars". My countrymen from Finland knows their stuff! This is the kind of music you want to make the whole world listen to. Great reaction!
Of course next, the more epic "Sons of winter and stars", and also "Loneliness"
What he said
Exactly, can concur!
and the full album Seasons
This
....and the "Forest that weeps" 🤗
what a great way to start my day seeing this - gorgeous song
i love when someones never heard this and gets it - i have lovedthis for so long and never fails to amaze me
Oh my lord, Ray I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. My hope is that you enjoy this, cos I am sure you will appreciate this band. 😃
Fun fact: Wintersun boss, Jari, started recording of the Time I album back in 2006. It wasn't released until 2012. It took so long because the digital recording hardware of the time wasn't up to the task of capturing Jari's 200-300 tracks per song.
😱
Sons of Winter and Stars has like 1500+ tracks on the mixer. It's silly.
I discovered Wintersun through recommendations by other Nightwish fans. I love this band.
🤘🏻🇫🇮❤️🙏🏻✨
Oh man, wait til you hear "Sons of Winter and Stars".
You were so happy listening to Wintersun your dog felt the vibes😀
That was great!! Good of you to finally done this. I would strongly recommend Sons of winter and stars and Land of snow and sorrow from this same rehearsal session for next reactions to Wintersun. After that the Forest seasons album in order starting from Awaken from the dark slumber (spring). That would make my year 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻
WooHoo! What a ride! Loved that. Thanks. (-:
Hey Ryan. So you finally got to Wintersun? They're awesome, aren't they? Told you 😉 I enjoyed watching your reaction. This must be my favourite song by them. I'm not into the screaming too much, but here it really suits the song. He has a great voice. The other 2 songs they played during this rehearsal session are definitely worth a listen too. There's 'Sons Of Winter And Stars' (with some crazy drumming by Kai) czcams.com/video/Tl5T-glTdXw/video.html and 'Land Of Snow And Sorrow' czcams.com/video/gEBFn8tkdFA/video.html , which is another one of my favourites.
Thank you, Martine! I'll do more from them JUST to get you to come around 😉
@@RyanMear 🤣🤣 I have quite sensitive ears, but limited, purposeful screaming is fine 🤣🤣
Have you considered reacting to Sabaton too?
You're the first reactor I've seen do this song that picked up on the fact that the second "solo" isn't actually a solo, but a duet.
Now do Sons of Winter and Stars from the same session.
Sons of winter and stars next lets gooo!
Great reaction🤘 There is more from Wintersun you will defenitely enjoy.
Wintersun is Fire , and Kai on Drums is like a Jedi master . You won't believe how many "F" bombs I let loose when I heard this song for the first time...🤘😎🤘
Nightwish knows how to pick them...
Thank You for reacting to it Ryan !!!
Keep It Metal bro 🤘.
They stole half the band! 🤣🤣
great reaction ! I love wintersun since debut in 2004...nice nice. Next song: Sons of winter and starts and then the magical "Loneliness"
Thanks for giving us musically intelligent comments, Ryan. I first heard Wintersun 6 months ago myself and I have to say also, one of the greatest songs I have every heard!!!. A song that has been really well-crafted!!. Outstanding musicianship and incredible vocals. Love all your reactions!!
Outside of Wintersun, Jari was also part of Ensiferum for their first two albums. "Iron" is an awesome album!
He ended up leaving due to scheduling conflicts with Wintersun but the bands are very friendly and work together still, which is always nice.
You should definitely check out some ensiferum as well!
I was, like you, one of the people that put this band on the back burner to one day check out maybe. Now that I did, I'm watching all reactions to them on the channels I subbed to on CZcams. I can't get enough of Wintersun!
Listen to the son of winter and stars Wintersun blows your mind
Great reaction Ryan! Love to see you back with Nordic anthems 🥰
Sons of Winter and Stars, also killer as hell. You will love it also. Nice reaction.
Greetings from Sweden! Music makes us happy! Listen to plenty music!
Great and honest reaction, to another EPIC Wintersun song, next up "Sons Of Winter And Stars".
Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. (hometown of Wintersun) Thx for a very good reaction video. If you love Kai "Human Metronome" Hahto you must watch this his drum cam video. Enjoy and stay heavy! Pearl Artist Kai Hahto/Wintersun - Sons Of Winter And Stars Drum Cam @ Nosturi, Helsinki 13.10.2012 czcams.com/video/08_PduSKNWU/video.html
Yes! Thank you!
Man, I got teary eyed watching your reaction and discovering this band! This is my favorite song from Wintersun, but lucky for you they don't have any bad songs so keep on reacting. People just feel something in these songs, and there is something in Time that rises it just above everything else in my book.
Some have already suggested that maybe go through the Time I album live rehearsals first as you've just listened to 1 of 3 now, and then maybe for the debut album stuff and after that for the latest album The Forest Seasons. But like I said, they don't have any bad songs, just pick how you want to journey ahead! Keep up the good work
Thank you, Janne!
The fun thing is: there *IS* sweepy stuff in this solo and there *IS* tappy stuff in that solo... they just know how to actually use it tastefully and musically and that's what many can't to these days.
That's what I said.... basically. Just not as clearly LOL
One of my all time favorite solos. Starting from when Teemu begins it under the vocals. So god damn tasty.
Mr Mear, I`ve been waiting your reaction of this and there is still more to come. Loneliness is also a very good piece and Land of Snow and Sorrow. Please do them asap. BTW the guitar solo of this Time is one of the best solos I`ve ever heard and I can listen to it every day!
15:30 Kai has Jazz background which probably sounds in his playing.
If you want another finnish band with a vocalist who can do both cleans and harsh ones very well, you need to check out Amorphis, for example czcams.com/video/xf_4uvymwRw/video.html They have been around since 90's.
Second to Amorphis! Older stuff (really old) is close to black metal and then some more clean singing in the early 2000 and now last few albums have been somewhere between the two worlds. Current singer Tomi has imho best deep groul voice in metal. It just feels like coming from somewhere deeper while you still make out the words! New single just came out so maybe thats something to begin with?
Yes, yes, yes for Amorphis 👍
Dear gods, I enjoyed this so much. I'm so glad to see how happy it made you. Obviously this is a year old but I've followed you for a while now (not quite sure how I missed this until now to be honest!) and I know from some of the stuff you said, especially during Covid, that life was hammering you hard. Hope things have been on the up for you. Much love and thanks for the catharsis (and delightful dog moments) 🖤
Nice, I liked hearing this perspective on the solo/duo part, makes me appreciate it more.
Your reaction was a mirror into my soul. So glad you eventually caught up with Wintersun. For me this track and performance is simply one of if not at times for me the greatest of all time ever. This band and all its members deserve so much more attention and respect.
This made me so happy! Excellent reaction, analysis and feeling the song (masterpiece). Of course Sons of Winter and Stars next.
Also please check Amorphis (Death of a King, Bee, Amongst Stars...)
Thanks, Petteri!
Nailed it Ryan! Love your conversational style over some of the antics of other reactors. Glad you sometimes have trouble finding words, because I believe that those who really love music feel it in the soul which is hard to express. Yeah try Amorphis, Silent Waters song. Respect to you.
Thank you very much, I appreciate this👍
I never really got into Nightwish. I have tried, but it is still not clicking. Wintersun is definitely more in my comfort zone. I need to check out more. Ryan, do another Wintersun reaction 😆
When I’m in a hard rock mood, this band would be it.. the music without vocals, was amazing… I dealt with the short growl part to get to that edgy sound you described in the vocals.. with lyrics I can understand…I’ll have to check out more
Cool! Glad to hear it!
I was never into harsh vocals until I heard Wintersun, and I think the difference for me is that, even when Jari is screaming and growling, his diction is so good you can still understand most of the lyrics. I haven't been able to find that in most other death metal bands I've checked out.
Next up "Sons of winter and stars" from the same rehearsal please ;) Greetings from Sweden
Greetings from Indiana!
Jari, the singer has diminished lung capacity due to having tuberculosis while in the army.
And THIS is how he sings with diminished lung capacity???
@@RyanMear yeah that guy is a beast - and his muscial world creating skills beyond amzaing... not to mention his guitar chops... one hell of talent all around... and a painstaiking perfectionist when it comes to his music creation process
Great reaction. A must listen after this is Sons of Winter and Stars. You can hear the Finnish winter rage through the song with a brilliant, clear view of the stars.
For something just as epic, you need to listen to Kingdom of Heaven (part 3) by Epica. It will blow you away as this one did.
It's never too late Ryan. Check out Sons of Winter and Sons. By the way...the other guitarist replaces Marco of Nightwish. His name is Yukka...
love this solo its fuking great!
Revisiting this reaction again because of the imminent Time II release. Man. If the songs are as good as this, it'll be beyond incredible. The crazy thing is that we've already heard the live performances of two of the songs in Time II and indeed they are at least as good as Time and there's two more songs which we haven't heard of yet.
I knew you'd like it 😊. If I should give you a little list, I would say the rest of the songs from the sonic pump studio session and then "Loneliness" and "the forest that weeps". the last mentioned is probably the one I listen to the most these days.
Youre gonna love "Forest That Weeps" and "Land of Snow And Sorrow".
Sounds good!
Best band I’ve listened too, that’s for sure. Insomnium is right behind Wintersun. React to Into the Woods by Insomnium
Okay. Yeah. Fuck. Epic.
How does it go Ryan - "Woe is me" 😂, wow imagine if Kai and Akane from Band Maid ever got together, two amazing drummers who know how to add to a song while not diminishing fellow band member contributions, such powerful but pleasing aural drumming styles. What a farking tune and a half I'm off to check out some more Wintersun and to quote a recent comment I heard - woe is me; thanks Ryan cheers again from the land down under 👍🎼🍻
That would be a treat! Except Akane would be all calm and eating bananas when finished LOL
@@RyanMear don't you mean Finnish - ed 😄
Enjoyed your reaction to this masterpiece. Like a couple of other commenters have said, you should check out Amorphis as well. Their vocalist, Tomi Joutsen, handles both harsh vocals and cleans very nicely. Maybe check out the official video for Death of a King if you prefer to start with an album track, or Towards and Against live in Oulu for a live performance.
You should also check out another good Finnish band Amorphis. Newest songs are The Moon and On the Dark Waters 🤘
There is soo much going on in this Song, it's insane :D
Very Viking feel to this song. Would totally work in How to Train Your Dragon with Toothless and Hiccup.
The long introduction is a separate track "Darkness and Frost"
You pronounce finnish names beautifully, well done!
Thank you! I try to be respectful
A true masterpiece!
"Thats one of the best songs ive ever heard in my life.... thats amazing". FUCKING PREACH
Kai on drums doing his usual unbelievable bass pedal work and Jukka on bass, now both in Nighwish who have a female singer who can in any style she likes. LOL And next The Sons Of Winter And Stars at the same studio and maybe slightly longer !!
Ooooh!
@@RyanMear The reason Kai joined Nightwish was the fact he was a friend of the previous drummer, Jukka, and one of his tutors. Even his warm up video is amazing.czcams.com/video/3CZYhO7vZlo/video.html
winter madness from wintersun is my recomendation if you are into really heavy stuff!
If you liked Jari's guitar work in this (a guitar god in his own right) check out the other guitarist, Teemu Mantysaari playing the solo from Winter Madness, a Wintersun song from their debut album. There's a video of him doing it on a guitar lesson/course channel with split screen of cameras on his hands. Then come back and tell me that guy's human.
Well, better late than never. Please do react to Sons of winter and stars from the same rehearsals. Another epic monster of a song. It is a journey.
Please react to the band NEOBLIVISCARIS (and plague flowers the kaleidoscope) live Denver 2016 if you like vocal,drums way out there 🤘
Kai is an awesome drummer, but he is also just a really, really, reeaally nice person. 🤘🏻😍
One thing Ryan! You have not yet done another excellent Finnish Band: Sonata Arctica and its Full Moon. You have to listen this! I HAVE 6 TICKETS FOR NIGHTWISH CONCERT IN TAMPERE FINLAND 22ND OF APRIL AND I`GIVE YOU ONE IF YOU CAN COME AS THANKS FOR YOUR DEEP REACTIONS!
Oh I wish I could!!!
The human metronome, Kai Hahto :-
Sons of winter and star!
Shepherd is always a shepherd
Epic
I tried... but I can't do the scream/growl vocals. Soooo good when they sing clean. I'll give a like anyways, just to show my support, lol.
Thanks Ryan!!😁😂🤘🤘
"Sons of winter and stars" next 👊🙂
At 15 minutes, you mention the two solos. It's pretty much a classical point-counter-point translated through metal guitar solos.
Love your reaction especially on that Guitar duet repeating it a few times. That's what I would do when hearing such beauty first time. About guitaring: I think Gojira is an interesting side kick to listen to cause they use tapping and sweeping as a basis. Can't explain their style. It's melodious, and at the same time a wall of sound with hardly any soloing, The drummer is outstanding like the one in Wintersun, but very different. Without a good drummer no band I say.
Gojira is awesome!
🔥🤘❤️🇫🇮
Eddie is welcome to reactvideos :)
Oh man... if you just discovered Wintersun, you missed out on soooo much. Jari is a great composer. If you want to hear another epic solo, I suggest listening to Eternal Darkness from The Forest Seasons album. I can't even describe how MAGNIFICENT it is.
Came here for Kai ❤️ Have seen Nightwish drumcams? Atleast there is Stargazer... Love to see Kai playing 🤩
Now you see sometimes you just put those recommendations side and don't listen us... Maybe you should? 😉😁
I repeat (sorry) my recommendation and just say Amorphis! I think you would like them...? Also absolute favorite Poets of the Fall ❤️ Please?
I urge you to head to my Discord! There I can keep suggestions in order and record. When they are suggested here they get lost real easy!
@@RyanMear I quess I'm old (or stupid?) becouse I don't even know what is Discord... 😁 This the way I have always recommended bands to reactors. If it's not enough then it isn't 😅 Most of the time all recommendation doesn't get trough anyway 🤷🏼♀️
Old, maybe, stupid, no! I didn't know what Discord was until I started one. It's just a server that you join and people can chat and Shar music, photos, bands, whatever. I can be reached directly without searching through 100 comments. There are plenty of great people to help you out when you join. Many have never used it before.

@@RyanMear thanks 👍 Maybe I'll check it out someday 😁 And to be honest, I'm younger than you but I just feel myself so old in internet now days 😅
Oh, then just get over there then! LOL Whippersnapper! (Just something old americans call young people....I have no idea why)
Best metal band in the world! Of course from Finland!🇫🇮💪🤘
its battle beast for you!!
Make more wintersun reactions
Fun fact, Wintersun's drummer is now nightwish's drummer
I'd love to hear johanna kurkela sing this.
I love your reaction so much but I must say once again (I've been commenting to a LOT of WS reactions) that it's funny (not saying it's bad, just interesting) that most reactors today see Kai as the main star in the band (which is totally understandable, HE is a star and totally worth the praise and attention), but while the main man, Jari is undoubtedly the mastermind behind all this incredible music (while not ignoring his serious flaws). To me he is one of the best composers in recent history, but his style with growling vocals and heavy death metal music keeps getting him more mainstream recognition though Wintersun was once nominated for the best metal album of the year in Finland with "Time I", however it was of course Nightwish who took the award. My further recommendation to Wintersun is "Sons of Winter and Stars (Live rehearsal Remastered)", "Loneliness (Winter)" and "Eternal Darkness (Autumn)" though whatever song you can find, it ought to be superb, like "Winter Madness", "Death and the Healing", "Sleeping Stars" etc.. so you can't go wrong with any of the songs.
By the way, if you love solos like in this song, "Winter Madness" has an absolutely beastly solo but my absolute favorite is in "The Way Of The Fire" (The song itself is not yet released, but it has been performed live many times) and it has actually two solos and the later one is just mindblowingly sublime and I have no idea how he came up with that. Overall the song itself is quintessential Wintersun and I can't wait to hear the studio version of it.
Yep, I imagine this comes from people, like myself, discovering Kai via Nightwish. So I found Wintersun, through Kai, through Nightwish lol. I do enjoy getting a new story about a new (to me) band, abd who is doing what!
hmm if yoou like this kinda music you should try rhapsody its a very good band with guitat music that is a lust for your ears :)
Great reaction! You gonna be able to catch Kai and new bassist with NW in Chicago in May?
I sure hope so!
@@RyanMear nice! I'm seeing them on the 8th and 10th. I'm near Philly. Hour and a half both directions. Not too bad. Be well!
WHAT?! Hmm..... about a 12 hour drive.....
@@RyanMear I thought you were near Chicago.
I subbed your channel, because of Wintersun! New reaction?
It will happen, I have several videos to get out, but it will be on the next round!
@@RyanMear Nice, I really like your style!
Thanks!
@@RyanMear Still have several videos to get out?
Yo Ryan! You skipped step one witch is Sons of winter and stars! Go back to start and please react to that song please!
Jari plays all the otlher instruments
Dude…if you like Kai, listen first this same band….song called Sons of winter and stars….and when you are familiar with the rhytm, search the Kai’s drum playthrough-version, only drums. That is the Shit!!
Okay Ryan, if you thought this was good. PLEASE check "Sons of winter and stars" from this same band. It's a piece of complex perfection, played by the most talented musicians in the metal world.
Thanks for reminding me!
🇫🇮🌹🌹🌹👏❤️
Is it not beautiful!!!!
