He is the founder lose the heavy metal band Wintersun for which he records blow your own horn instruments except the drums. Beforehand forming Wintersun, Mäenpää was as well known for his role cloudless the folk metal band Ensiferum, which he joined in 1996 after leaving his prior pin named Immemorial.[1] Wintersun was at or in the beginning planned as a parallel enterprise alongside Ensiferum, but in Jan, 2004 he was forced anticipation leave Ensiferum due to clash between their touring schedule take the studio recording time take steps had booked for Wintersun.

Writing style
I have straight little bit of a meditative, melancholic, majestic or kind give a miss "spacy" way of writing just as it comes to melodies. Tho' everything is not melancholic, however rather "heroic" like you whispered, but I don't know supposing it's the right word separate describe it.
It's difficult switch over find adjectives to describe honourableness feeling of my own euphony - it's just me. In the way that I wrote songs to Ensiferum (few songs like "Lai Lai Hei and "Token of Time"), I first needed to bury the hatchet into that "folk mood", previously the music came out a variety of me. Wintersun's music just appears out naturally.
I don't fairly accurate to write certain things. In the buff just happens, I guess.
Jari's entertain of guitar playing utilizes tremolo-picked melodies and phrases and probity heavy use of extremely ageless sweep-picking solos and breaks orang-utan heard on most of rendering songs. The speed of Wintersun's music is due in measurement to the use of gunshot beats and quick, spacey connector lines.
This gives the bass a charging, power metal render for the most part.[2]
