Jari Mäenpää is a super-genius Finnish guy who started out playing viking/folk metal in Ensiferum before leaving in 2004 and forming Wintersun.. This band has ridiculous titles, artwork, and lyrics, and yet, remains one of the most perplexing and dynamic listening experiences that I've ever had in metal. It amalgamates all the best elements of melodic death, black, power, and thrash seamlessly and tastefully. If your definition of tasteful means Scandinavian dudes competing on how long and beautiful their hair can be.
