WINTERSUN - SONS OF WINTER AND STARS | COUPLE REACTION (Patreon Request - Jan Olav Walldal) 

Looking forward to this :)

The symphonic elements are composed and pre-recorded by that "main guy" singlehandedly.

Top band. You're patreon members know what's up. Wintersun is a mix of several genres. Unique band.

You should also check other two songs from same album Time and Land of Snow and Sorrow both live rehearsals at Sonic Pump Studio. Album is titled Time 1 and that is hint for concept. Time 2 album has been coming since this album, but wait and see. Also Forest Seasons album is really great with four songs: Awaken From the Dark Slumber (spring), Forest That Weeps (summer), Eternal Darkness (autumn) and Loneliness (winter) all official lyric videos. First album is Wintersun and there is also really great songs like Death And Healing, Starchild, etc.

Wintersun is mix of genres... you got right folk, power and also death and even black metal elements. Also symphonic metal included. Jari (leadsinger, guitarist and songwriter) has said that Wintersun could be defined as epic metal. Great reaction btw! 😊🤘🏼

The four parts are called: I Rain Of Stars II Surrounded By Darkness III Journey Inside A Dream IV Sons Of Winter And Stars

This song (and the whole album it's from) is a musical masterpiece. Wintersun is amazing. One of my favorite bands easily. I've seen them live before and everyone just sings along. It's a great time. By the way...the drummer in this video is the current drummer for Nightwish. Definitely recommend "Loneliness" (there's a lyric video, I think) and "Time" (studio session like this one).

I saw you smiling the entire reaction. Glad you liked it! It's a very complete band, if you have the chance to listen to the rest of the songs. Always happy to see more and more people discovering this band. You didn't just react to the song, but commented a lot about it, which is great to see. Next song I recommed you react to is "Loneliness", "Death and the Healing", and "Land of Snow and Sorrow (Pump Studios)". Nice reaction!

Wintersun reaction = Instant click 👌🏻 Great channel guys!

Wow! Hitting us with epic guitar riffs *and* blast beats right out of the gate, huh? Well OK, then! ETA: That was really something! Great blend of genres/styles, and really impressive playing all-around (and yes, there were plenty of stick tricks on display here!). I think "epic" is absolutely the word of the day!

Oh boii . Yup reminder bell on.. 🎧🎶🖤🤟🤟🤟. Epic band of musicians..👍👍👍 enjoy ...👏👏👏

So many comments, I probably have nothing to add which wasn't said. Your point that the song mixes many different styles and subgenres, bringing contrast of them, keeps the long song alive and interesting: yeah, that's my feeling exactly. Really likes that layered singing there, and Jari has beautiful clean vocals. Nice pirate song! BTW, there's apparenltly lots of new Wintersun music coming. I heard Jari has written material for several abums, but he hasn't publish them, forgot what was said the reason but obviously lot more to come. I'd recommend band called Smackbound in the meanwhile. The dark haired guitarist Teemu Mäntysaari of this video is also in that band. The band was started by its vocalist Netta Laurenne (former name Dahlberg) who is also an actress and has played roles in some Finnish TV-series but also has studied singing, written songs for other artists and made solo albums. And also Rolf Pilve from Stratovarius is in the band. They have published one album (20/20 is the name) so far, but just heard from Netta that they are writing their second one as we speak. For example, "Drive it like you stole it" is an energetic, fierce song, while "Wind and Water" is a soft ballad mixed with agressive metal and heart ripping raw vocals also. Every song in the album is just very good and Netta has this enjoyable raspy rock voice.

...other great classics from WS are e.g. "Time", "Loneliness" and "Forest that weeps" 🤗

Late to the party, guys. But, glad you reacted to Wintersun - another overseen band - Epic. Jari (multi-intrumentalist, composer, singer) asked Kai to play the drum as this was the part he couldn't do on his own. He gather a great band of musicians. Btw. I just subscribed - should now see more from you.

Blessing from Finland for this reaction :]

"i can't figure out what's more impressive, like technically, the druming or the guitar" The bassist: 14:13

There's definitely a backing tape for the studio session. But the main guys are definitely live.

You guys really like this song because you smiling all time.

I love the LOTR comparison, best i describe this bands sound is if dark elves made metal

If you liked this, you might consider reacting to Wintersun - Eternal Darkness (Autumn). Intensely epic and deeper lyrics. Jari himself thinks it's his best lyric writing and I do agree.

Time next!

In Finnish storytelling lore it is common to not to have happy endings, just stories. It’s a conscious separation from Hollywood’s obsession with happy endings. Also it gives you a better understanding on the minds of people of forest and lake.

nice reaction to the band

amazing music - this was a live rehearsal with the backing tracks playing behind

Great reaction to a great song! I thought you would like this song. Wintersun is so versatile. More music from Finland? My recommendation: Insomnium - While we sleep 🤘

Спасибо Алёне за комментарии к тексту песни, меня всегда смущало восприятие текста через призму героического звучания мелодии, чувствовал что здесь есть какое-то второе дно, но никак не мог его нащупать. Прямо как герой повествования, Алена прошла путь от "I'm confused" до принятия экстрим-вокала. :D P.s Респект Brad за упоминание значимости дуалистичных гитар в общем звучании, мало кто обращает внимание на этот элемент.

"Oldschool? Like in the early 2000s" :)

Yes! More people to doscover this masterpiece. The amount of work had been put into making this one must be incredible. I bet some other bands, can make enough tunes, that have zero musicality, to make a full album for comparable time . The whole song is not so abstract to my ear. It is about wandering soul, looking for home. It could be warrior, or sailor, i suggest latter, for number of reasons. Vikings been famous for sailing. Sons of winter and STARS. Sailors navigate by stars, even today you can do it, if your GPS went off. In vikings time it was probably the only way to navigate. The chant - "the way of the ocean grind so strong". The chanting on it's own - it is not chants of warriors ashore, as they have no chance to chant for a prolonged period, while at the sea, you have plenty of time, especially reminds me of oarsmen. The wind - Scandiavian countries are having different topology, but its more hills, than plains. In hills ypu have less winds, in plains more. In sea you are open to all winds. All this link up, and you got the licture of sailor and warrior. If you enjoyed this one then Time from same rehearsal session is another great one👍😀

I have not seen all your videos, but I have watched a few; this is the first time I'm seeing the missus (I'm assuming she's the wife) enjoying, interacting and noticing some details in the song and I'm loving it....keep it up please...

SA -----------Finland South --------- North same taste of music !! Music unites all people !! (i have seen "Kaffer" (not belivers) to react Nightwish to, and they love them to !! We are all same when it's about music !! Take care .

It's a fusion of Power Metal, Folk Metal, Melodic Death Metal and Black Metal. I disagree that Power Metal is/should be easy. Most songs of decent Power Metal bands are really difficult.

The main vocalist jari has recorded all the instruments by himself apart from drums. He had tuberculosis so his one part of lungs has removed thou still he sing like this.

super traduction de votre facon de voir ou decouter wintersun gratitude a tous les deux

Well fuck, spheres of madness as an intro, nice choice.

Thank you from Finland:)

Alena in Swedish is/mean "Alone". But beautifull /smart women like you, will never be alone !! (sorry Brad) haha. Stay safe. Greetings from A Finn (Finland) living in Sweden.

this makes me want to watch Vikings again,play Withcher 3 again and God of War ps5 again :D

Did you recognise the superbusy drummer?

Btw. i think Son's of Winter means Finnish people !!

epic song and performance,i can see leonidas that 300 movie fighting with his men to the beach when this song goin on :) thanx very good reaction and have great day there. ps. you should listening wintersun- loneliness it´s song what jari make when his father die. many people choose that funeral music and it´s haunting and beautiful song not this world :) choose lyric orginal video,not have studio or good live version.

You have completed my holy trinity. Ne Obliviscaris, Be'lakor & Winterson

You guys are missing out!!! SLIPKNOT- NERO FORTE Exciting, high octane, busy song, that is bound to get a laugh out of you at some point. The song is about Corey Taylor's ex-wife, and the weird thing you're gonna see in the background? That's how he felt in his marriage. Enjoy, stay safe and stay blessed. 😊❤🤘🤘

Contrast for power- and folkmetal: Powermetal: Rhapsody of Fire Folkmetal: Ensiferum

In one of the earlier reactions Alena thought "L'ENFANT SAUVAGE" was to heavy so please can you do Fleshgod Apocalypse - The Violation" without saying anything in advance..... let's see if her taste has widened ;-)

Can't wait! 😎🤘🏼

First of all, Finland is not a country belonging to Scandinavia. (Sweden, Norway, Denmark) Time to react to some more Finnish metal.

Hey guys! Just subscribed to your channel and i'm really enjoying your content. I've seen you done some death, symphonic, progressive and power metal, so how about some doom metal? Pallbearer - Worlds Apart. No video for this one, but the music speaks for itself.

I do prefer Time from the same session - though this is brilliant in its complexity

Wintersun is one of my favourite bands, great video guys! I would like to suggest that y'all check out BABYMETAL if you guys dont know about em or have listened to em already its a Japanese Kawaii metal band that does a mix of Pop & Metal, on paper it shouldn't work but it just does so damn well, I suggest you guys check out their song called Road of Resistance which will most likely remind you of a certain band. ;) Thank you! I'll link the song here for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zTEYUFgLveY.html

Finland is not part of Scandinavia. Scandinavia is part of Fennoscandia. Nice reaction. Please react to Time from the same rehearsals. Here`s the link: time ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4UMwLxFNKS0.html
