Wintersun - The Way of the Fire @ Metalfest 2011

[scotts168]

This is the stuff my ears get a hard on to!!

[eNnI088]

Sick asian sound on Jari's solo

[gggx1000]

As for talent. depth n singular uniqueness....Wintersun (after a single album) is right up there with Iron Maiden, King Diamond, Arch Enemy and Exiled From Light...been waiting 4ever it seems....yet if all of TIME is like unto this....well fuck, perhaps they shall also be immortalized...

[SeventhOfTheSix]

I guess I'll just have to wait for the rest. Pisses me off, because this song is incredible.

[2020jonnybravo]

I swear that moment after the solo is only the greatest moment ever right before that sick guitar riff kicks in.

[Zakkglenna]

i cant help but notice that all the blue shirted security guys are bald?

[smackanimals]

If we give Wintersun time they will give us Time. My favourite band of all time!

[Szymonzor999]

Missing software trolls Jari so hard...

[psycroptic1000]

Great vid..... cant wait for the new album

[numchacar]

4 faggots dislike this, I hope the learn the way of the fire when they burn in hell

[MetalCamelChannel]

@numchacar Thanks for the concern, but I'll be fine.

[eastsideswanger]

WHY WASENT I TOLD!?!?!?!?!? DX

[Litshttam]

Time to praise this awesome track: I f***in' love it!

[Dortiph]

I love you for taking this in video. Im serious.

[PureHayabusa]

why cant i find a studio version of this? D:

[Firedblood]

@PureHayabusa It's a new song from an upcoming album, Time.

[TheFaceOfMelinda89]

@PureHayabusa Because it doesn't exist.

[MasterofOblivion1]

I have heard rumors of some far off mystical place called a new Wintersun Album. After so many years of searching, could it be possible?

[BurntToHouse]

I've spent 6 years thinking that the first wintersun album was too good to top, especially with how long Time has been anticipated.

I was wrong...

[thefranzfrom1991]

QUIERO TIME, DIOOOS

[kugotsumin]

ffs someone buy this man a 64 bit version of windows.

[RhewBleiddiad]

Jukka got bored and went to Kai for a short talk :P Ahahah

[dirge808]

there...are...no...words...

[Blashyrkh22]

I thought I could wait for Time. Now I know I can't...

[Iamnotanumbernr1]

Got metalcamp one on Iamnotanumbernr1 site. Filmed from the frontline. Good quality.

[Iamnotanumbernr1]

Got metalcamp one on Iamnotanumbernr1 site.

[XxTheEternalDuskxX]

Jesus Fucking christ this song is god like. o wait i mean its Jari like

[LaMagra70]

It wasn't enough he needs more than 16gb of RAM to record music, now the best cameras of the world can't record his guitar either.

[kaminda6]

this saturday at Bloodstock!!! cant wait to see them!!!!

[embracedbyfrost]

Jaris music is magical.

[dudemanbro00]

God damn im impressed and if time is a disappointment i'll be truly surprised. Once again classic Jari riffs and solos which i cant get enough of. Nothing but originality and soul.

[HoransHora]

Hope lives on, have listened this past month now, and can't wait the new album to come up... 1 Thing that i actually find amusing.. There's loads and loads of people saying they've waited for 6-7 years for this album... Some of being now 15-16. Perhaps it's the waiting that makes people think they've expected album ages. Myself, i've listened Wintersun from 2004, and i've waited new album from 2006 or so. Going to hype till the end, and i think i won't be disappointed at all.

[frindle8]

3 dislikes?!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! AAHHHHHH should be negative a billion dislikes

[cyberbetica]

I filmed the performance at Metalcamp in 1080P with good sound :) Will upload in a couple of days.. It includes close ups of some of the solos :D

[Krofius]

@cyberbetica When is it going to be uploaded? Gone 7 days ;(

[cyberbetica]

@Krofius trying again now. Youtube has issues with the MP4 format that my camera uses so i had to convert it.. hope this works.. Upload will take 30 mins, don't know how long Youtube takes to process it, but I guess around 45 minutes it should be online :)

[Krofius]

@cyberbetica Awesome!

[cyberbetica]

@Krofius it's up! Link in the description :)

[rickytantriad]

@cyberbetica do you know when the new ablum is coming out? any recent word ?

[MetalCamelChannel]

This is what took him all those years? I was expecting more to be honest.

[ImAViking97]

@MetalCamelChannel Don't worry, you'll get more. Time is supposed to be about 77 minutes in length. That's what took them all this time.

And btw this song kicks some unfathomable ass

[MetalCamelChannel]

@ImAViking97 I know. Not saying it's bad. I was just expecting more I guess. Let's see what the rest of the album brings us.

[EddyT1109]

sounds crappy :D really

[Cousity]

@EddyT1109 then don't listen to it and GTFO? people appreciate this music u know

[XSVmetalband]

@Cousity he was being sarcastic...... he tryin to troll... LMAO

[BeforeTheBlackGates]

The first 3 minutes of this song beats the whole first album, IMO.

[JonnyOnly666]

The break after the second solo sums up everything I love about music. This album is gonna ruin any other album ever made for years to come, until the next wintersun masterpiece.

[thefranzfrom1991]

quiero Time YAAAA... no aguanto más :(

[2dayVpray]

oh my god the first solo is sooo fuckin beautiful

the only person that can possibly create an even better album than the first one is the god of metal himself

[Thurmaan]

I just recently thought to myself that it would be so fail if they worked on the album for so long and it would be bad, but just the first seconds of this song convinced me that it will be totally epic :)

[jjmullaly]

I feel refreshed. I've been waiting so goddamn long for a snippet of new Wintersun, and lo and behold...a full song! And a great one at that. It's nice to see ambition in musicans for a change.

[2dayVpray]

I WANT TIME SO BADLY

[2dayVpray]

I WANT TIME SO BADLY

[IWishIWasFinnish]

2 people are cradle of filth fans

[EraOfBloodtv]

You know it's good music, when this makes me feel like there's 10 feet of snow outside... but it's 102 degrees and in a drought.

[NakeRtHeRoCkEr]

Every song they made kicks ass in it's own way. This is the most epic band on Earth, period.

[executionair]

@NakeRtHeRoCkEr modern mozart. so amazing,

[reaper64]

Looks like a better version of Starchild and that's awesome

[JvL1995]

@reaper64 No.. Nothing beats Starchild /,,/

[IWishIWasFinnish]

@JvL1995 Starchild was by far my favorite song. But this matches starchild for sure in my eyes

[JvL1995]

@IWishIWasFinnish Yeah the way of the fire is f*cking insane, but Starchild doesnt need a solo or two to be one of the most beautiful songs ever made, imo. This song does need it.

[Nevioxx]

Best version on Youtube in my book...only wish you hadn't zoomed in and out so much, but you probably didn't know the sound would be cut, so whatever. What an awesome song! It makes the wait worth it, but also, if they don't release the album this year, it'll make the wait ever more eternal. Hope they do though! Too great a song!! It reminds me of the reason I began listening to them in the first place.

[TomahawkLauncher]

This is unbelievably epic already. Now imagine for a minute, what its going to sound like on the album, when its perfectly mixed, with all the orcestrations and harmonies.

[0Erazoender0]

This song actually made me cry.... holy fuck Wintersun always reminds me why I listen to music.

[VieDmarde]

omg vert good, king of metal in my opinion 

[senseoftaste]

I wish the very best for Wintersun. I loved them dearly but so much time has passed and so much has happened since that they seem like a distant memory and the only song I can still listen to is Beautiful Death. Having said that, I still think that Jari's guitar skills are untouched and Kai's drumming is still in my top three of all time.

[MetalGecko87]

goddam this album is gonna be good

[Kcvee777]

Stop making sexuaal referecnes bout wintersun lol. Its at a higher level, its spiritual., activates the heart.

[voradownz]

I came. I saw. I came some more

[metalaxi]

After this long wait, what could you expect? Either a piece of sh*t or a masterpiece. I think we will get the latter :) \m/

[DArkMetalFromHell]

The phuck which disliked shoulb he hung by his balls... -.-

[voradownz]

i was going through the video isle today at a local shop and found "Wintersun" under "Adult" category...

[newskies]

@voradownz because this music is porn to your ears.

[voradownz]

@newskies nah, you srs brah ?!

[newskies]

@voradownz otherwise it couldnt cause eargasms, could it?

[nemesisdarkman]

I wanna cry :F

[Deathtone6666]

So epic. I don't know if this relieves my need for new Wintersun or makes it worse.

[dragonguardian350]

O_O this is what long "time" does to bands. pure masterpiece!!

[spiderman233]

This is beautiful

[spiderman233]

I cant wait for Time men, i need it nowwwww!!!!!!!

[corntorteeya86]

Finally, I have a nibble on what I was looking forward to. Cant wait

[GaleradoCumbuco]

This is a masterpiece of everykind of Metal. Beautiful and powerfull. Can't wait to hear the Time albun

[revivalmethod]

One person was scorched alive trying to live by The Way of the Fire.

[xUxDontxKnowxMex]

Can't...... Stop....Pressing....REPLAY O.O!

[spiderman233]

@xUxDontxKnowxMex i know how u feel men

[greetz2metal]

This sound like old ensiferum!

AWESOME!!!!!!!

[YesWeLikeMetal]

speechless. soo amazing

[BringerOfTruth123]

Jari has the most amazing voice. Time will be awesome. I am very happy that he is making progress on it.

[hardcorepiss]

hearing to this song makes me want to ride a horse and fight a dragon.....

[gutsberserk1]

This is no song , it´s a musical journey.

[avf13]

This sounds epic!!! Imagine how the studio version is going to be.

[FireMoviesNL]

For everyone talking about Jukka singing:

What you hear is not Jukka singing, it's a backing track of Jari singing. They said it on the site themselves. Maybe Jukka's singing too, but barely audible. So too bad, it's not Jukka but Jari.

Thumb up pls so that people can see it for more than 2 days.

[robin776]

@FireMoviesNL I'll beleve you when you post a link, untill then I'll beleve my eyes and ears.

[FireMoviesNL]

@robin776 Ok, go to wintermadness (dot) net, you'll see. They say they have in-ear monitoring and BACKING TRACKS etc. (in the latest update on the homepage)

And, if you still think it's Jukka, explain 6:15. You hear vocals, but Jukka's not even near his mic.

It is Jari on a backing track.

HAIL WINTERSUN!

[robin776]

@FireMoviesNL Alright, you're right about the part from 6:15, but you can also hear that that part is a lot softer (less loud) than the other parts where there are supposedly backing tracks for vocals.

Backing tracks can also (or mostly with wintersun) mean the keyboard parts.

In other words, I'm not convinced.

[oblivionspawn07]

@robin776 It's not him. Trust me. It's not that big of a deal anyway.

[robin776]

@oblivionspawn07 Trust you? not a chance :P

[oblivionspawn07]

@robin776 Aww, come on I'm a pretty trustworthy person

[diVentos]

@robin776 in other words, this is perfect u must shut your mouth !!!

[Zachpaul95]

@FireMoviesNL Could you send me the link where they say this on the site? I cant seem to find it

[FireMoviesNL]

@Zachpaul95 Front page, newest update (the one with all the live dates)

[Zachpaul95]

@FireMoviesNL well but the thing is, I think he was refering more towards the keyboards, not saying youre wrong, because I think its jari, simply because it sounds like him, but when they say backing tracks they generally mean the synths

[PiKaStRo]

Oh, and even his "fucked up solo" (as Jari called it on Facebook) is amazing ;D

[DeMitreN]

damn jukka sings pretty awesome!

[AbudAisham]

First du dislike :)

[SymphonyforClassics]

You are my hero...



[m3talblad3]

Wow!! Sounds great!!!

I can't wait for the release of "Time"!!!!

[MesousaX]

Holy hell.

If Time comes out this year, it'll be the album of the decade.

[WhyBoysHaveNipples]

Mmmmmm finally some more epicness in this world :'(

Im crying tears of joy.. woww this vid <3 Finally some new stuff from the best epic band ever :O :D

[TimmyScandi]

Thank you so much, this is showing me that waiting for so long is worth, this Cd is gonna be awesome, fuck i wanted to watch them live in switzerland but I have school exams and I had to renounce....

[slayeroflight9]

*edit* Wintersun needs to invest in Wintertowels: for when you make a mess ejaculating to our songs, always have the towel thats keeps you clean and smelling winter fresh.

[WhyBoysHaveNipples]

@slayeroflight9 LOLLL ur so right xD

[slayeroflight9]

Wintersun needs to infest in Wintertowels: for when y

[dimdire]

the epicness is just about to start!

[Haloman777]

This may already be the album of 2011 hell it seems the album has already won the current decade already.

[thedraperyfalls26]

The Solo at 6:45 makes me want to practice for 30 years

[morganix007]

We all need more form Jari and Wintersun. Wheres the sophomore!!!!!!!!!!

[tukenjengi]

Ari Koivunen / Amoral is better

[voradownz]

@tukenjengi troll harder 0/10

[JoekChannel]

I'm starting a new religion called Mäenpääism.

[Cousity]

I waited 6 years for this.... and fk I've got no regrets, heidenfest here I come

[HighOverlordBeardo]

Sounds alright. It'll be nice to buy a Wintersun album again.

[Cobhc951]

I understand now why he has more than 500 tracks for each song ;D

[jamestomo]

Quality isn't great, but fuck me!!! Need this album now!! Can't wait to hear this at bloodstock in august!!

[drawnacrol]

I can't wait to hear this album

[skaplis]

duh.... i hope other songs aren't like this - you know, half of it is mindless soloing - it's boring and not musical

[tuulenkoti]

@skaplis go fuck yourself this is amazing.

[lomion200]

@skaplis what are u talking about man this is amazing

[robin776]

Awesome new song :O

Jari's clean singing really improved, it's beautiful

Also, never knew Jukka could sing like that XD

Took me a while to figure out how I could still hear singing when Jari moved away from the mic in the refrain ^^

[umosay]

@robin776 Not sure if it's Jukka or backing tapes tbh. Hear during the chorus it still sounds exactly like Jari from backing tapes, but since he layers vocals he can't sing them all.

[robin776]

@umosay When you look closely you can see his lips move in front of the mic. But you are right about that it sounds exactly like Jari tho..

So either Jukka does really sound like Jari or he sings/growls something we can't hear at exactly the same time the vocals from the backing track kick in...

I'd say the first is more likely ^^

[ScottyTScout]

omg !! This is Wintersun, this is METAL :D

[karmazon]

I was scared whether their new album is gonna measure up to Wintersun but if it's all like this song, then Wintersun will go down as the greatest metal band in history.

[Buzu1991]

is not heavy metal, and is no revelation!! is just the fucking JARI : D

[WishmasterTheDark]

Heavy Metal Revelation!

[coltonwebb2810]

Shit its Impossible to find a better solo then two in this song :D

[MetalHellOfExistence]

I would like to stuck in limbo with Time... forever...

[Zaothus]

The world should have ended right there and then. This is fucking Biblical.

[ScottyTScout]

WINTERSUN!!!!!

[FireMoviesNL]

Is Jari even able to write bad music??? =D

[wrockholz]

How is this crowd not absolutely freaking right now

[chriswww]

@wrockholz They were locked in trance.

[zidan40o0]

[cyberbetica]

Intro with new material + Beyond the dark sun in my other video's now

[mick17]

oh my god oh my god oh my god

[BodomChildBreeder]

the song doesnt seem very long even though its 9 mins what the fukk--

[DevouredByThem]

@BodomChildBreeder The reason why it feels that short is that you enjoy the song as hell!

[altonormz]

right now for me it sounds more like immemorial but i guess the second it will be in good quality it will be Wintersun

BTW were startung Jarism the first meeting is next week

[OpaKnobi]

omg finally :)

this song is great!

[Doodooma]

WELL, its about fucking time. (see what I did there?)

[robZ8911]

Love it and the waiting is worth it every single day. :) BTW, i think when Jari says he screw up a solo he misses 2 or 3 notes out off 200. xD

\m/ 2.10. Berlin \m/

[Corrosive1]

I LOVE THIS FUCKING SOOOONG

[Amerikhastann]

I honestly did not think Time would be worth the wait. I have been proven wrong.

[umosay]

Happen to record Starchild or Battle too? :D

[cyberbetica]

@umosay i think I recorded the opening song, don't remember wat it was. I will upload it tonight :)

[cyberbetica]

@umosay it was beyond the dark sun, but the intro contains some extra new material from Time (i think) uploading now!

[FireMoviesNL]

Those securities don't know that they're experiencing a most holy moment :p

Let's hope Jari finishes the album this year, we really need it!

[My6God6Is6Ville]

WINTERSUN IS ALIVE!!!

[SubDural12]

I love you, dude. You sacrificed your own enjoyment for us to experience this masterpiece. I am going to purchase like 10 copies of this album, and pass it out to people who I think may enjoy it.

[MW2isOverrated]

I paused my porn, came to this, kept fapping.

[coltonwebb2810]

WOW! I didn't think it would be possible for anything to top the first album. But holy shit this actually did..Jari is genius! Cant wait to hear the rest of the album

[tupajumi]

@coltonwebb2810 You're right. This sounds, even with such quality, very promising. Can't wait to hear it the way it's meant to be heard.

[Metal4Life007]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGOMG OMG OMG OMG OMGOMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG.... BONER...

[Dortiph]

As usual, Jari makes a song with no errors, perfect from 0:00 to 10:22 .

I love this musician, especially when he does music.

[skydancer042]

@Dortiph actually, on facebook he admitted screwing up the solo, but no one will ever notice it anyway... at least not until the album version comes out :)
