That second half is just magnificent. I feel like listening to Wintersun is like reading LOTR, every time you discover smth new you didn't really pick up on the last time.
Long time Wintersun fan here. I know I may be in the minority, but this one has been my favourite from this album since I first listened to it. Can't quite say why, but the energy and epic scale of the song just grabbed me and never let go.
Man you need to hear "Land of Snow and Sorrow", "Starchild", "Death and the Healing" and "Beyond the Dark Sun". You shouldn't miss out on these. And maybe you can react to them to get in the mood for their new releases later this year. Greetings from Germany.
Musically I thought this was superb, but vocally not such a big fan of. I know that fans of this genre come to expect that and that if I listen to it i need to expect that as well , I would just like it to fit better within a framework of the song. After a bit, the harshness just gets tedious to my ears. Idk Maybe someday I'll get used to it 😂 ❤ and ✌️ everyone.
I have to admit I almost gave up in the beginning. But, this particular song grew on me as it went along. It was mainly the music, especially in the second part, that drew me in.
Wintersun musically are fantastic, but I feel for Spring the vocals should have been less harsh, the harsh vocals fit well in Winter and Autumn, seasons were the climate is harsh, but Spring should be more welcoming and encouraging of the new life coming forth. Big Love Bro
So I guess I've only heard the self titled album, and Time I. Also, somehow I missed your other Wintersun reactions ... whoops😢 . This was awesome! 🤘🤘 Thanks for givin' a flip dude!
Yes! Now I can finally ad this to my playlist. I was waiting for you to react to this one. So it's also my first listen. First half was alright, but then they switched it up and the song became alive. And if that was Jari's intention, he did it right. I probably have to listen to it a couple more times to really get into it. I had that too with Sons of Winter and Stars. But now I F-ing love that song! It's hard to pick a favorite. Depends on my mood. The Forest that Wheeps, Time and Loneliness are my number 1 favorites.
I was not the biggest fan of the singing on this track, but the music was Really good. Brother you give love and support to all of us listening and we appreciate you for sure.
I love the vocals on this one. My favorite track from the Forest Seasons. Loneliness is a masterpiece but I can’t listen to it very often because I cry every time I listen to it because I just get too invested in the lyrics and get swept away by emotions. So my ”easy listening” favorite from this album is this one, Awaken from the Dark Slumber. Vocal-wise my favorite part is from the ”let the dark disease wipe out all the living” to the ”will this be forever!”
