Wintersun - Land Of Snow And Sorrow (REACTION) with my wife 

If I could recommend "Sons of winter and stars" from the same session as this song. Well worth a listen I think

Greetings from Helsinki! You should check out their song Loneliness (winter). That song is a masterpiece. Another great one would be Time from the same live rehersal session.

Ahhh you would be surprised how many amazing metal bands Finland has. I haven't been really into it for last 10 years, but before that I had a long period when I was obsessed by Finland and their metal scene. And maybe the most amazing thing for me is that all of them, no matter wich genre of metal they play, respect each other and often colaborate. I think that only in Finland you will find musicians from power metal and death metal band (for example) hanging and making music together. I could talk much more about this topic, but I will cut it short and say that I really think that you should start discovering more Finnish metal bands of all genres, because I am sure you will love some of them. And when I say that, the first one that comes to my mind is Sonata Arctica and their first 3 albums. First of all, their main composer and singer is a great friend of Tuomas from Nightwish, then, they have to offer you something that you haven't heard yet, but I think will surprise you how beautiful and melodic it is, and lastly, they are a big nature and wolf lovers. 😉 I don't like their sound after the third album, but those first three are really special. Or maybe trying Stratovarius from 90s. That band influenced both Nightwish and Sonata Arctica (and used to be my favourite band for a long time). Ok, I could really recommend so many Finnish bands, but this was something that I think you might truly like. I think you would be especially moved by Sonata Arctica ballads. They are wonderful. Like "Last drop falls", "Letter to Dana", "Mary Lou" (acoustic version), "Draw me"... there are so many. Or Stratovarius ballads like "The land of ice and snow" (about Finland) or "Forever". Sorry for the long comment. 🙈 Warm hugs! 🖤

I love Wintersun.. check out their song "time" and "Sons of Winter and Sun" it's from the same play session.

Great reaction! Wintersun is found by Jari Mäenpää (guitar, leadsinger) and he is mastermind behind the band and writes all the songs of Wintersun. Other wizards are Teemu Mäntysaari (guitar, backing vocals), Jukka Koskinen (bass, backing vocals; also now basist of Nightwish) and human metronome Kai Hahto (drums, also in Nightwish). There is still two songs from same rehearsals Time and Sons of Winter and Stars. I suggest you do first song Time. Forest Seasons album is great to react also. Especially you could react to Loneliness official lyric video. Their first album Wintersun has really great songs like Death and Healing, Starchild, Winter Madness, Sadness and Hate. I suggest you react to Death and Healing official lyric video first. Please and peace 🙏🏼😎✌🏼

WINTERSUN now were talking have been waiting for you guys to get to this was going to recommend them but wasnt sure Dominika would like Jari’s growling lol but this was a perfect intro song to these top class musicians now get ready for Time and Sons Of Winter & Stars from same sonic pump studio you are both in for the ride of your lives lol another great reaction guys keep up the good work 👍🏻👊🏻

More good melodic heavy rock bands from Finland : Amorphis. More from Wintersun- Loneliness

Wintersun! Try time, It was in the same session

You're rapidly becoming a true music expert, Dominika. At 10:50 you say this: "I love how they put all three voices together, and they're not always in sync..". That is exactly what jumped out to me when I first listened to Wintersun ("Sons of Winter and Stars"). They do the exact same thing with the guitars, i.e. the secondary melody line following its own path. Has a very distinct and almost "classical" feel to it, like a Bach fugue. Then I saw John Wilson's reaction (JW Soundworks. Now there's an expert if I've ever seen one!), who used the classical term "countermelody". And that's precisely what you described when you talked abt their voices (oh please Tuomas, so hope you've written vocal parts for Jukka in the new NW songs!). Anyhew, great reaction again you guys. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

More Finnish metal band to listen, Amorphis and The Bee or Silver Bride for start, Before the dawn and whole album Ghost and maybe Sonata Arctica😁

You absolutely have to check out "Time" from the same rehearsal session next! One of the most gorgeous songs of all time.

If you like that. I recommend listening to same session Time

When you get a request for the greatest show on earth please do the Finland concert, great reaction as usual.

Thank you! Loved your reaction. Two of there members are members of Nightwish ❤😙❤

You MUST react the Song TIME!!! MASTERPIECE from Wintersun!!! Best of the Best

Now, Nightwish needs to let Jukka sing! He has a good voice.

Got in my car after digging out from the worst snow storm in decades. Turned on the car stereo and this was the first song that came on. Now that is what I call karma.

G'day, Aussie fan here. I've loved your reactions ('specially the Aussie ones) since you started your Nightwish journey. Someone coined a term for Wintersun's music: "Brutiful" ... a combination of "Brutal" and "Beautiful." Their song "Time" from the same session is my personal favourite, but "Sons of Winter and Stars" also has that killer Brutiful sound. Definitely worth checking out. Keep up the great work, you guys are wonderful!

Insomnium is another gem of a band that keep on making amazing music

Hello from Finland! Love your reactions, always makes me smile 😊 I have a request for you. In Finland we have this folkmetal band called Korpiklaani and I would like you to react to their song Leväluhta (official video). It's a folkmetal song with a little reggae wibes.

If you liked this song, I would strongly reccommend you watch the song "Time" from the same rehearsels. I honestly think that "Time" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written!

Drummer in Nightwish for last 7/8 years now Kai. Bassist came to Nightwish when Marco stopped.

😊🇫🇮❤️🎼✨💙🤘 Haven't you reacted 'Sons of Winter and Stars' on this Band 😳? Go for it 🤘😁👍💙🎼

Wintersun are the best of this metal genre out of Finland

Hi there, great reaction, correct there are two members of Nightwish present, drummer Kai Hahto and bass guitar Jukka Koskinen, here Jukka sings, maybe he will sing on Nightwish too, greetings

TIME from same rehearsel would def be your kind of song!

TIME II is out now and I strongly hope you will do "One With The Shadows" atleast

Whooow ,that sounds great , Marijke Delwel, The Netherlands.

Pls do more Wintersun reaction, appreciate it a lot

Your reaction/analysis are always a pleasure 🖤 And yeah, Kai & Jukka have a sidhustle at Nightwish and Teemu at Megadeth. Also, now that Time II has finally been released a week ago after 12 years of waiting, I think "Silver Leaves" took the title of the most beautiful song of Wintersun ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Lp2wU6gtp0E.html

Wintersun - Loneliness (deepest heart pain to lyric and melodic.. you love it!)

Thank you so much 😊

Greetings from Finland🤘 Love you guys❤

Dominika's description of metal band stereotype, got me laughing 🤣😂

I like this much better than Sons of Winter and Stars, because I prefer the vocals here - I'm not a fan of very harsh vocals except for highlighting (which this song does well). I found it too much in SoW&S. Glad to hear Wintersun isn't always liike that!

I’m sure you’ll love Be’lakor! 🌀🌀🌀🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Wintersun Loneliness

This sounds so Finnish and I love it, well I’m Finnish😂

Two more Wintersun songs to react: Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K2p9PsVD9Ho.html Wintersun - Time (TIME I Live Rehearsals At Sonic Pump Studios) REMASTER ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4UMwLxFNKS0.html

It is always good to see one to wake up from "just a noise" point of view. Metal has one thing that not a any other "group" in the world has...everyone is welcome. Much love from metal capitol of the world, Finland /

Bucovina - Spune tu, Vant (official video) Bucovina is a Romanian folk metal band formed in Iași in 2000.

Time II D-44 😎

Salut Andrei! Daca vrei inca ceva din Finlanda, ar trebui sa incerci si "Wolfheart - Routa pt 2". Cred ca va va placea amandurora. 😁

Well since they are going to react to more finnish bands then I am going to recommend Battle beast, Sonata arctica, Children of bodom, The Dark Element and Ensiferum. 🤷🏻‍♀️🥳🖤

Check out song called 'time' from the same session! You will love it!

Check out Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give it Away, Scar Tissue, By The Way, Can't Stop, there's so many to choose from.

Another jaw dropping performance from Wintersun to check out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4UMwLxFNKS0.html

I love you discovering bands that I enjoy. Great reaction. Here is another one for you - the band Soilwork, a Swedish metal band that I really like. Here is a link to a concert that they did in Helsinki Finland, and on this song, Let This River Flow, Floor is a guest singer. It's a wonderful surprise, and it's stunning! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--yXB7CB6DmU.html
