WINTERSUN - Sons Of Winter And Stars REACTION | Metal Head DJ Reacts 

Welcome to the world of finnish metalmusic. Crazy good!👍❤️

They are great :) Check out "Time" from the same session as well. Btw, both the drummer Kai and base player jukka now are with Nightwish 😊

Greetings from Helsinki, Finland. Hometown of Wintersun. Thx for a very good reaction video. I think Wintersun is a big influencer for many musicians to future because of you reaction video guys. Thank you.

I have listened this a thousand times, but still that reaction: WOW! Every time. One of my favorite songs of all times. They are all so good. Including the bassist, who hardly ever gets mentioned. His low vocals are amazing, as well.

As a Metal Fan This is pure Joy to listen too.

Jukka (Bass) and Kai (Drums) are now in Nightwish. But this is effing amazing

I've heard this song I don't know how many times and still hear new stuff

Their album "the forest seasons" can be the best conseptalbum there is

You're right! Wow!!

Greetings from Finland, I´ve watched so m anyof these Wintersun reaction videos and have to say that this is one of the best !! So proud to live in Finland and have metal bands like Wintersun, Amorphis, Stratovarius, Battle Beast, Beast in Black...and of course the one and oly Nightwish =) But still, Wintersun, my personal favourite, wanted to buy their very rare LP-vinyl Time 1, but over 300€....hoping that santa claus is beeing nice to me in this christmas =)

There's also a drum cam play through with Kai Hahto. So amazing!

Your reactions are so fun to watch - you seem to enjoy so much, like not any show/over anything, just pure valuation of good music, talent & vibes. ❤️🎶🤘

You've seen drummer Kai Hahto with Nightwish once so far. You have not yet seen bassist Jukka Koskinen over there yet, he joined after Marko left in 2021. Both are still listed as being Wintersun members, with Kai on hiatus since 2017. Jari is the lead singer, and from what I've heard , he is working on new Wintersun material. Time, from this same session, as others have suggested , is worth checking out.

Certainly one of my all-time favourites. I regularly listen to the entire album, and I never tire of it! 🖤🤘🏻 from Germany. Edit: Epica, Nightwish, Wintersun, Eluveitie, and for Nordic stuff Wardruna. Top tier stuff all the way. Not much more needed... Well, not to forget Heilung!

Check out the other two songs from this same session. You won't be disappointed. Thanks for that. 🤟🤪🤘

It was fun to see how your head started to nod right from the start the same way as everyone else's. Before Wintersun, Jari Mäenpää was a member in Ensiferum. Try their song "Lai Lai Hei". They have made some great songs also after Jari's time.

Everytime I watch this video, and I've seen it alot, I have still the same reaction you had. Still laughing seeing Kai happily banging away🤣🤣But also being in awe with the phenomenal guitar play. Wish i could to that haha. This song had 1670 tracks that had to be mixed! Still wow!

Glad you enjoyed and appreciated this band. It warms my bones to the core that Wintersun are being found by some. This band deserves so so much more recognition. Please spread the word.

You found the next Finnish metal band! 😄 Singer-guitarist Jari Mäenpää is to Wintersun what Tuomas Holopainen is to Nightwish. Composer-lyricist. And now half of these musicians are also members of Nightwish. Drummer Kai Hahto has been playing Nightwish's drums since 2014 and Jukka Koskinen was the 2021 session bassist and this year a full member of Nightwish. Wintersun's next song could be from the same rehearsal situation, "Time". Kai Hahto, drummer. He is considered one of the best active metal / rock drummers. As you saw, the T-shirt he was wearing was from the Pearl company. Kai is indeed one of their most important drummers. There are several videos on RU-vid where Kai presents Pearl's products. Kai also makes a lot of so-called "drum-cam" videos. They are really fun to watch because the man is so talented.

Next Wintersun songs to react: 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 Wintersun - Land of snow and sorrow - Live rehearsal @ Sonic Pump Studios ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cZB6JVllJSg.html Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) Official Lyric Video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qIiZFpOQnd8.html

Great reaction!! 😂😁🤘🤘👍 Greetings from Finland, the birthplace of Wintersun 😄

To be fair I only stumbled on this reaction because of the awesome look of the person reacting.

Great reaction. Concur with others on Time which I like even better then Sons of Winter and Stars. My favorite Wintersun song is Loneliness (Winter) from the Forest Seasons album. Perfectly captures the mood and silence of winter (grew up in Vermont so I can relate). You also should checkout Jari's previous band Ensiferum. He was their singer on their first two albums. Folk Metal with that Middle Ages/Viking warrior vibe. Lei Lei Hei is my favorite. No good videos from their early days so I recommend the studio version. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uEqsfYLRqDc.html.

I just knew you'd really dig this one! Ppl will come and recommend the other famous two, so I won't have to do that. At 7:24 the drummer working his behind off is Kai Hahto, you'll recognize him from another pretty famous band. The base player Jukka is now in that same band and I'm really looking forward to hearing him growl alongside a certain Valkyrie Goddess ;) Should singer Jari, whose vocals I really admire, also join in.. man it will be metal overload. Would be awesome! The countermelodies on guitar alone are something to die for. Add to that the sublime time signature shifts, sick syncopation, Kai doing a 4/4 over bass pedal triplets or 6/8 (whatever), the compositional genius of it all and epic lyrics.. Yep, I really love this song. BTW: funny you'd say that at 20:10 haha, you'll see why. Cheers from Amsterdam! 🤘

wintersun - Time : is as epic as this my friend.

😁🇫🇮❤️🎼✨💙🤘 Another 🇫🇮💎 🔝

Instant sub, when you react to Wintersun and dig it!

Life and metal is not same after listening Wintersun.

There are lots of Kai Hahto drum cam videos. Here are two. Kai Hahto drum solo Tuska 2005. (Tuska Open Air Festival, tuska is the Finnish for pain, agony) Kai Hahto - Obey (This is with the band Rotten Sound) Many drum cam videos with Nightwish as well.

Yes, Wow is pretty much the best word I can find to describe this as well and heard it many times now. They all so locked in, and Kai is a beast. Jukka on bass took Marko's spot on Nightwish, and as you saw, he can sing too.

Love it dude. Totally know the song, love the hell out of it. Listening and watching along while cooking dinner and stopping just to see how giddy / blown away you are by it. Fucking cool shit hey? Get into them, solid band. Check out Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope live in Colorado 2016. From my home city.

Second guitaris plays Megadeth now.

The drummer and bass player play in nightwish this will take you on a journey this band is kick ass love the footage keep rocking

Take "Time" from Wintersun, the next one please. Thank you for your comments, it was just like mine when I first heard of their music. Greets from the land of Metal Music; Finland.

I have seen them Live in Finland. You should react to Wintersun - Loneliness (Winter) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qIiZFpOQnd8.html The singer and composer Jari Mäenpää wrote this song after his father died.
