I'm glad i got to see them live in 2007 (or was it 2008), Norther was my favorite band along with Wintersun when i was in middle school :D Good times.. helped that they were playing gigs in my home town :)
Holy shit, this is awesome! Randomly Checked them out and they are really great! Petri is like another person, but when alexi died he told us, that they hang out a lot that time. Norther sounds for me like cob with a little more Melo death, you can hear alexis influence. Now I have to listen to all of their stuff. RIP alexi
Of course you can hear Alexi's influence! Not many people know this but COB helped out Norther when they were forming, they helped with instruments, riffs and and finding a place to practice. At that time they were not even called norther, they were called Requiem. Most of the Finnish melodic death metal band all come from the same town in Espoo, they all know each other and write riffs for eachother
The part no one mentioned, but huge respect to these guys for going way out in the middle of nowhere in the dead of winter, and then set everything up on a frozen lake, just to shoot a music vid, and somehow manage to not even look the slightest bit cold
It's a beautiful thing called adrenaline. When that special juice is flowing through your veins, you can do things that normally wouldn't be possible. For instance, playing HS Football, I rolled my ankle BADLY. I couldn't believe I didn't break it. I was running the ball as a tailback and I tried to spin away from a defender when another defender fell on my legs, causing me to roll my ankle while spinning. Anyways, I normally should have come out of the game, but this was Regional Playoffs. Adrenaline was pumping big time, we were winning 20-14 late in 3rd quarter. I refused to come out of the game. I had training staff tape my ankle up and wrap it, and I continued to play. After I rolled my ankle, i went on to rush for 44 more yards and the game winning TD with about 1:10 left in the game. Now, of course I needed a lil help help from training staff with taping/wrapping ankle up and getting treatment while our defense was on field, but let me tell you, after the game, when I finally stopped playing, my ankle was huge, excruciatingly painful. I couldn't walk on it. Adrenaline is an amazing thing.
@@JudasSlays2426 wow what an experience that must have been. And well written too, had me on the edge of my seat no lie haha. Hopefully you didn't get any lasting pain/ankle problems later on, I know I've heard of sports injuries from long ago healing only to come back as problematic later in life. I love hearing about people's stories like this, I'm sure that's a lasting memory you'll keep with you forever, even telling your grandkids or great-grandkids about!
@@Trigotrymancy Thank you for the kind words! Sometimes my writing abilities may be lacking, but I guess I did write the story pretty well.. To be honest, that same ankle does tend to give me a little trouble every now and then, it was the worst possible rolling of the ankle, without snapping any bones or major tendons. I did get lucky in that manner! When it's cold out, especially, is when I can feel the discomfort in the ankle. I still tend to do pretty well every day, regardless. Yes, I honestly VIVIDLY remember that game. I was a pretty fast guy, I also played baseball, soccer, and I wrestled. I was pretty athletic. I didn't play all 4 sports at once, just over the years. Played soccer from about 10-14, baseball I played for a good 10 years, I wrestled for 5 years, and I played football from 14-17. I basically did 3 sports mostly at all times. I was pretty athletic, fast, strong. The football team liked my speed and strength combination so much so, they requested I play both sides of ball. Offensively, I would line up as Tailback or WR (I also had excellent hands from baseball) and on Defense, they would put me either at Safety or any of the LB positions (usually outside LB to have me blitz or track the RB on sweeps/screens). When we had ball on Offense, I was 90% a Tailback, running sweeps, screens, and running it off tackle. My speed and elusiveness is why they loved using me in those roles. We had a bigger bruiser type Tailback but they used him for straight ahead run plays. I remember the Defense was getting gashed by our run game. So the Defense stacked the box, after halftime. Even then, it didn't help too much because I would be thrown a screen and I would run it 15-20 yards. This particular play, I didn't like their Defensive alignment. They had brought their safety in to play the run, I was supposed to run off tackle, I was gonna get nowhere. I look at coach and signal him to their D. Let him know I didn't like that, I suggested a sweep, he had our QB audible out to the sweep. Well, the other RB was supposed to hustle over and lead block for me. He didn't. Idk if he missed the signal and audible or what, but I was hit by defender 3 yards behind the line, but was able to slip it. That slowed me down just enough. I gained about 3 yards and then I tried to spin away from their Safety and that's when I think a LB dove and came down on my leg while I was trying to spin away. I couldn't believe it wasn't broken. Initially, I thought it was worse than it was. I had help getting to my feet, I wasn't coming out of that game for anything, unless I just couldn't go, but I was not coming out. I just kept walking a bit to help loosen it up some, show the coaches I could still play. I allowed HC to take me out long enough to get the ankle taped and wrapped. Once I got that done, I popped up and started walking on it. From there onto end of game, I only played on offense. When on defense, that's when I got treatment on it and staff helped keep it loose. HC had made sure for rest of game, our bigger RB didn't miss one more block when I was running the ball. It makes all the difference, but reason why I was able to rush for almost 50 more yards and scored the game winner (at that point, we were down 21-20). Scoring with a little over 1 minute left, was one of the greatest feelings I've ever experienced! Adrenaline pumping, crowd is loud and yelling, Regional Playoff game. All of that kept powering me on. Our crowd was going nuts when I scored. Getting goosebumps right now thinking about it lol. Sorry for the storybook, but I wanted to best describe it all to you, the best I could. Thanks for the interest! I haven't told that story in probably 10 years..
DeSever And only now I realize you made this comment because Petri was part of Norther and left when he replaced Jari in Ensiferum and you are comparing Petri's old work to his new work. Don't worry Anton Rossi, I am pretty slow too .-.
this used to be one of my favourites back in 2010 I've been trying to remember the Band and The Title for weeks now Until JUST NOW! It came to my mind as I was sitting on the toilet FUCK YEAH, MIRROR OF MADNESS !! \m/
Petri, why have you left this band? The album 2011 was awful. The year later Norther died. They were the 1-st metal group I have heard 1-st. And always were the best. I am still listening their albums, particularly 2002-2003
We had two excellent bands: Ensiferum with Jari, and Norther with Petri. Jari left Ensiferum and Petri left norther, so those two bands eventually were fucked up.
I used to be well into this stuff - listening to DnB these days, but just strolled across this and its still as awesome as i heard it back in the day. Brilliant melodies, amazing Palm muting skills, Solos that fry your brain, and some pretty bad-ass vox ( bar one or two, one being 'fuc off my mind' - ?? :D what thats meant to mean, i dont know) Loving it.
It's been over 15 years that I've met Norther and that is my favourite solo of all time. Probably played it over 10k times on guitar. Also Norther is still my favourite band even after a long time they broke up.
Great vocal, great lyrics, great melody, great guitar, drums... I'm complitly drunk, just hearing this song and drink whith mirror... -"na zdrowie!" (on heal! -toast from Poland)...
I wish that end riff would last just a little longer. When i'm angry with myself, i picutre me playing guitar and singing this song atop a frozen mountain top somewhere in scandinavia haha
Damnit, I've always loved Norther and I was hoping one day they'd finally play in the US. Then they go and split up. This seems to happen with every foreign band I fall in love with.
Ensiferums albums unsung heroes and on have sucked i loved seeing them live but all their good songs were written by jari, yes iron and victory songs were good but i still have to say Jari made them and now is phenomenal with wintersun.
Agreed. They went from every song on the album being a masterpiece to every song being meh. The first 3 albums are the best melodic death ever composed IMAO.
You say all their good songs were written by Jari, and I know when you say that, you are referring to when Jari was in the band. The truth is that even when Jari was in the band, Marcus was primarily writing the songs. Jari absolutely added his ambition and flare, but he did not write the songs, really. Marcus was the master behind nearly all of Ensiferum's work. This creates some confusion since when Jari left, the sound changed so much, but actually, that wasn't the reason. Marcus changed. What are your favorite old Ensiferum songs? Token of Time? Guardians of Fate? Windrider? Treacherous Gods? Then thank Marcus for that, because he wrote pretty much everything. Again though, Jari spiced it all up OH SO well. But do not fail to give credit where it is due. Marcus is an incredible writer of music. And he was the origin for pretty much all of the songs. All that said... my favorite Ensiferum albums are those which feature Jari. Without him, there is a void unfulfilled. However, the Dragonheads EP is fantastic, and Petri stepped in fantastically at this point. And the 10th Anniversary DVD, oh man, I can't imagine someone doing a better job in place of Jari than Petri did there. That concert is timeless. I am forever grateful it was not only caught on film, but released as an official product to be owned by eager fans. I'm also glad Jari went on to create Wintersun. Although, its been quite uneventful these past few years. He is too critical of himself and I think it just creates unnecessary delays. Wintersun self title album is just fine, and we don't need it to be LIGHTYEARS better than that at the expense of zero content for decades. I prefer the simplicity (although its not so simple) of Wintersun self title album, to so many years in waiting for ultra polished, and not so exceedingly great material in the form of EP length releases. Well... sorry for the essay. Good to talk with fellow metal heads though.
I've been into metal for a long time, but I'm just starting to discover bands like Norther, Children of Bodom, Wintersun, and Starkill, and I really like them. Any other recommendations for great bands like this?
+Jonah Esty I've actually seen Wintersun, Starkill, and Bodom live. Got to meet all of Starkill, really nice guys. Parker kept giving me hugs. I even met Alexi Lahio, he was in a rush but he snapped a pic with me and we talked for a few minutes, really nice guy but kinda quiet. Let's see here, Eternal Tears of Sorow, Darkseed, Crematory, My Dying Bride, Deathstars (before they were Swordmaster, a black metal band), Sentenced, Charon, Poisonblack, Katatonia (their older material is really dark and heavy), Solution .45, Scar Symmetry, Sybreed, Skyfire, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, and At the Gates. There's tons more but that's a start.
+kyle boswell Awesome story! I know My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Scar Symmetry, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, and At The Gates, but I'll check the others out.
I wish there were more bands like this. I remember in 2007 NOrther and COB were my favorite bands in the world.
COB ? Cum on boobs?

Norther without Petri doesnt exist. And it was proved..
this is a very good song !!!!! :) :) i love it !!!!
xristina dikigoridou yup :)
+ledbytheReaper Perkele this why i listen to ensiferum more :(
+ledbytheReaper Perkele Kride was norther. Do your research fangirls.
kicking him is like taking the brain out of your own body :)). And they disbanded in 2012 :))
Singer is a pretty man.
He's so cute
He is so petri, hahaha, get it? Petri!
Ok im out
I wish I was that pretty
@@Unl1m1t3d1 You just ruined the joke by explaining it. (-_-)
He is like floor singer of nightwish
This brings back memories, haven't seen this video in years. I wish i got to see them live.
Absolutely agree with you. Norther were one of my personal Pioneers back in the day, thankful to own most of their albums. :)
I'm glad i got to see them live in 2007 (or was it 2008), Norther was my favorite band along with Wintersun when i was in middle school :D Good times.. helped that they were playing gigs in my home town :)
Thank you Finland for giving us such great musicians!!
Scandinavia does not fail to surprise.....every time, great song structure, excellent bassist
Finland does not belong to Scandinavia. Heres goes the clue!
13 years ago... 13 years of looking into this Mirror of Madness.
The Fins really know what they're doing with metal. Finnish death metal is just pure battle music, LOVE IT.
I swear this is one of the best songs ever written!
So this is what it’s like when a group of elves make music.
Dark Forest Elves.
So this is your first time hearing them ? Hahah
@@sebastiannavarrete413 naaah the only real Dark Forest is the Black Forest :P
Lord of the rings suddenly is kinda different now.
I don't want to say RIP Norther.
They need to come back. period.
Holy shit, this is awesome! Randomly Checked them out and they are really great! Petri is like another person, but when alexi died he told us, that they hang out a lot that time. Norther sounds for me like cob with a little more Melo death, you can hear alexis influence.

@Grettis Asmundarsonar Children Of Bodom vocalists
One day I will go insane with this song. Not today but one day the madness will be great.
Close your eyes, and you’ll hear the Alexi’s sound I swear love both them ..
I both like CoB and Norther the same. They both prove that Finland has the best metal music in the world.
I can't stop listening to this song.
According to Pythagoras his mouth in 3:30 is a PERFECT TRIANGLE!

También para mi. Que nostalgia esa época con el sonido de antaño.
@@Kathycat87 sonido que no volvera
Tremendo track este... excelente álbum, norther lml
Am I alone in thinking this is WAY better than anything Ensiferum released since Jari left?
DeSever Jari left?????????
Anton Rossi Years ago!
I am a bit slow I guess :p
Anton Rossi He left after Iron was released.
DeSever And only now I realize you made this comment because Petri was part of Norther and left when he replaced Jari in Ensiferum and you are comparing Petri's old work to his new work. Don't worry Anton Rossi, I am pretty slow too .-.
Jeden z tych kawałków których mógł bym słuchać w nieskończoność :]
Petri's voice in Norther sounded like Alexi's voice. And they're both beautiful frontmen too!
It will always remain my favorite band. Love to Norther!!
I discovered that song yesterday, and the solo is freaking amazing !
Another band that makes me proud to be Finnish.
no se de donde salen tantas bandas estupendas de finlandia. grandes norther es la primera vez que los escucho .saludos from mexico
this song is at the end of my playlist because just nothing can top it
this used to be one of my favourites back in 2010
I've been trying to remember the Band and The Title for weeks now
Until JUST NOW! It came to my mind as I was sitting on the toilet
FUCK YEAH, MIRROR OF MADNESS !! \m/
I wish my girlfriend looked like Petri. Lol. =)
+MobileDecay lol :)
+MobileDecay
Haha, seriously Petri is fucking purdy in this vid, no doubt. Its fairly ridiculous, even.
vikingmetaldragon Not gonna lie I have a boner. Lol. :-)
+MobileDecay something's wrong with you. lmao. or are you gay to start with?
YouPuup I like getting fucked in the ass by a pack of rabid wolves. It's hot
Petri, why have you left this band?
The album 2011 was awful. The year later Norther died.
They were the 1-st metal group I have heard 1-st. And always were the best. I am still listening their albums, particularly 2002-2003
me too; i like ensiferum but i like Nother too.
He didn't leave. He was kicked because they wanted him to pay more attention to Norther than Ensiferum. Norther signed it's own death warrant.
We had two excellent bands: Ensiferum with Jari, and Norther with Petri. Jari left Ensiferum and Petri left norther, so those two bands eventually were fucked up.
Jari is the heart, soul, and mind of Wintersun. Without Jari there would be no Wintersun. Plain and simple.
He didn't leave the band
Growing up in India… this was my favourite band… phenomenal album
when melodic death metal was actually good
It's still good.
what a shit take
Petri's got one of the most distinguished screaming voice I've heard so far
I love this band !
no conosia este grupo hasta hace poco a mi me gusta muxo el symphonic metal.. i me encanto esta banda
13 years ago I got an A in school because of this song. Thank you
been so many years since I've heard this song! still as bad ass as the first time I heard it !
I was a teen when this made me a warrior.
Excelente canción, gran sonido. NORTHER
The best melodic death metal band ever! RIP Norther!
One of Petri's masterpieces, thank you Finland!
unbelievable song..this chorus is phenomenal..
I only clicked this 'cause I saw the thumbnail and thought he was a chick. Can't resist metal girls. Turns out it's a really great song and band.
-!-alex-!- and guy
Turns your clickbait just made you gay.
Such a kickass song👌👌 even after all these years!!!
finland rocks!!!
norther,COB,ensiferum,wintersun,sinergy,kalmah
a great country whit a great bands!
I love the chord variation in this song.
This is so fun to sing! Too bad we won't be able to sing to this ever again at a concert :(
This brings me some good childhood reminiscences!
ALL TIME FAVOURITE.
I need to borrow Petri's hair for my college graduation
I used to be well into this stuff - listening to DnB these days, but just strolled across this and its still as awesome as i heard it back in the day.
Brilliant melodies, amazing Palm muting skills, Solos that fry your brain, and some pretty bad-ass vox ( bar one or two, one being 'fuc off my mind' - ?? :D what thats meant to mean, i dont know)
Loving it.
It's been over 15 years that I've met Norther and that is my favourite solo of all time. Probably played it over 10k times on guitar.
Also Norther is still my favourite band even after a long time they broke up.
i was 16 years old ... my gate to extreme metal ... Norther rules !
That solo riff at 2:20 sounds just like something Alexi Laiho would do.
anyone else here like norther and ensiferum equally?
they are both good bands
+moopisgreat Check out Children of Bodom, Imerinon, soilwork
+Jacob Teeter There's no such thing as Imerinon lol!
i miss spelled Imperanon
+Jacob Teeter Yeah i think Norther is bit influenced by CoB !!
+Faithless666 Daniel Freyberg is actually joining CoB now, and yes definitely influenced by CoB xD
Years later it still unbelievably amazing!

But he always looks better than her, I think
And which lady do u look like ?

i could listen to the intro all day
I wish that end riff would last just a little longer. When i'm angry with myself, i picutre me playing guitar and singing this song atop a frozen mountain top somewhere in scandinavia haha
Right! i want to keeo hearing the drums but it fades out :(
do you know if the song on the album fades as well?
Yeah man it lasts about a good 30 secs longer on the album version but it still fades out.
Discovering this in 2021 is sad
this is for you brother, soon eleven years of your path to otherside, i still got my mirror of madness like we all three brothers always had
Damn, THIS SHIT JAMS!! First time hearing this song or the band, I'm definitely checking them out more now!!
una de las mejores de melodeath pues y ensiferum no se queda atras arriba el viking y el power
Such talent! So sad they did not last long enough...
i love that song. REALLY
Essa música me ajuda até hoje.
so many metal bands to explore so little time :(

awesome song awesome band awesome guitar solos awesome music....oh god i love Finland :D
Of course dude.! They`re both an awesome songs. I almost wet my pants when i listened for the first time memories to dust. =D
Damnit, I've always loved Norther and I was hoping one day they'd finally play in the US. Then they go and split up. This seems to happen with every foreign band I fall in love with.
Please don't fall in love with Be'lakor :-|
Miss that epoch, Petri need to resurrect the Norther, for the sake of good.
Agree soooo much. I really miss Petri's Norther.
will there ever be a reunion?
Wild E. Coyote probably not, because Petri this more focused on his current band,Esferium !
+Faruk Wilson man i hope he decides to something with norther again. Like a special show or something. ensiferum is a great band tho as well
cuando no.. estos finlandese.. los dioses del metal
Oh man, this takes me back
Petri is so beautiful *--*
Is this a joke?!?!?! O_o
To me, Petri fits perfectly in Norther, more than he singing in Ensiferum. Like if You think the same...
shout out to scandinavians playing music in the middle of nowhere. gotta be one of my favorite genders
Norther, so nostalgic 😇
high COB influence
Except one thing.. This is less gay
Fuck off
Gwayne Graham Gan I totally agree and it’s an awesome thing.
@@patriciomagno940 you could too
RIP Norther! Im listening this in 2016. Norther was better than Ensiferum, Im sad that Petri didnt continue Norther.
Norther better than Ensiferum? I call bullshit. Iron will kick every Norther albums ass
It could be your personal opinion, I respect that. To me, I stop listening to Norther since Petri left :))

Although, its been quite uneventful these past few years. He is too critical of himself and I think it just creates unnecessary delays. Wintersun self title album is just fine, and we don't need it to be LIGHTYEARS better than that at the expense of zero content for decades. I prefer the simplicity (although its not so simple) of Wintersun self title album, to so many years in waiting for ultra polished, and not so exceedingly great material in the form of EP length releases. Well... sorry for the essay. Good to talk with fellow metal heads though.
This video is so awesome, simple but very professional. So unique and perfect style, Lindroos is my master lml
Timeless track.
I've been into metal for a long time, but I'm just starting to discover bands like Norther, Children of Bodom, Wintersun, and Starkill, and I really like them. Any other recommendations for great bands like this?
+Jonah Esty Whispered, Whispered and Whispered.
+Jonah Esty ensiferum of course *o* !!!
+Jonah Esty Imperanon. Their song Blade is amazing.
+Jonah Esty I've actually seen Wintersun, Starkill, and Bodom live. Got to meet all of Starkill, really nice guys. Parker kept giving me hugs. I even met Alexi Lahio, he was in a rush but he snapped a pic with me and we talked for a few minutes, really nice guy but kinda quiet. Let's see here, Eternal Tears of Sorow, Darkseed, Crematory, My Dying Bride, Deathstars (before they were Swordmaster, a black metal band), Sentenced, Charon, Poisonblack, Katatonia (their older material is really dark and heavy), Solution .45, Scar Symmetry, Sybreed, Skyfire, Dark Tranquillity, In Flames, and At the Gates. There's tons more but that's a start.
+kyle boswell Awesome story! I know My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Scar Symmetry, Dark Tranquility, In Flames, and At The Gates, but I'll check the others out.
