Absolutely.

Finally someone makes a real reaction video to Dark Sarah!!! I'm glad you liked it!!! That's why you get a subscription from me, even if I don't really want to give anyone else one because I just have enough of it for myself. I highly recommend Memories Fall!!!! For me along with Dance With the Dragon the best song by Dark Sarah. Memories Fall is a duet with Manuela Kraller, who I think has one of the most beautiful voices. Please listen to this. You will definitely not regret it!!!!! It is completely incomprehensible to me why there are so few videos for "Memories Fall". If you listen to it you will understand why.

This song blew me away. I will for sure check it out.

I love JP's voice. So dark and powerful.... both of their voices are so good. Also the chorus in this song is so epic🔥 Thank you!

Cinematic metal, a subgenre for symphonic metal. Heidi Parviainen made a compilation of three albums featuring Dark Sarah. Sarah is a woman who was getting married, but the groom never showed up. So..., she became Dark Sarah, whose journey you can follow through those three albums. The album features a number of guest singers in different roles (Manuela Kraller, Inga Scharf, Tony Kakko, Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto, Charlotte Wessels, Manuela Kraller, Zuberoa Aznárez , Marko Hietala, Netta Skog, Juha-Pekka Leppäluoto, Jasse Jatala). As it may have been mentioned before, the metal genre is really strong in Finland and if a band wants to get to the top or be featured, it has to develop something that makes it stand out from all the others... So, in Finland you can probably find every metal genre that exists, and if it doesn't exist, it will be invented. 😂

If you dig JP's voice and/or vibes, you're in for a treat when the Holidays roll in and you'll inevitably react to some Raskasta Joulua stuff. 😉

JP Leppäluoto - the voice of Charon and Poisonblack.

OK, I'm gobsmacked. I have heard JP Leppäluoto in Northern Kings, and thought he had a wonderful voice. I had no idea, however, how wonderful. Never heard of Dark Sarah. Want more.

He's also the singer for Charon and was the singer for Poison Black for awhile.

Well, they are amazing together. I really recommend To continue The journey with her. Marko Will also join this project and other great artists. JP is solo artist mainly, after his band "Charon". Now it is really time To check "Northern Kings" with JP, Marko, Toni Kakko and The male Floor, Jarkko Ahola. Also "Powerless Trio" ❤

Heidi was in a band called Amberian Dawn, heavy, neo-classical metal. They were good, she split off and has written three very gothic metal concept albums. The first two were about “dark Sarah” which is where the band name comes from.

Thats so cool! I can't wait to dive into more.

Dark Sarah is such a lovely band! Warning Sign, Aquarium feat. Charlotte Wessels etc.. JP were member of Dark Sarah few yrs.He is usually one of those metal heads raskasta joulua (heavy xmas) tour also raskasta iskelmää (heavy pop / schlager music) tour. Then u find him bands called Harmaja, Powerless Trio (kinda project) with Marco Hietala and Ari Koivunen and also his own solo career albums. And already mentioned Charon (not active anymore), Poisonblack's one album + and still in Northern Kings.

I am pleased you like the song and the video. I believe it is Dark Sarah's most watched vid.

I have NOT heard this group before, though I have heard JP sing several times. But THIS, yes, I understand about getting swept away. It has so much of what I love in music - the orchestra, the romance, the darkness, the metal, the passion. Thanks for introducing me to this and I will restrain myself and wait to hear more when you have it on your channel lol. Big love Cosmic :)

Oh! Oh! Oh!!!! I love this song! I was going to suggest it later on, but thank you to whoever gave this suggestion!

I will post a link to my favorite song of that group. It is more of a blusey rock sound--and I love it!

Anything with JP is gold.

This album is one masterpiece of a story top to finish. JP is on I once had wings from this album and on another 2 or 3 videos. AND on that winter tour i sent a link, you can hear him in all his glorious voice.

Super excited you reacted to some Dark Sarah. I love her voice and their storytelling is top notch. They call themselves cinematic metal so it makes sense that I get metal Disney vibes. There is a lovely live version of this song that you should listen to for yourself, kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6Cm0tSBdarKadI.html. For more Dark Sarah I love this live performance of Icehart, kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIKmm8mEfcKyqNY.html. Also Trespasser and All Ears. Not that familiar with J.P. solo or his bands work. Mostly know him from his work with Finnish metal super group Northern Kings (Jarkko Ahola - Terasbatoni, Marko Hietala - Tarot,/Nightwish, Tony Kakko - Sonata Arctica, J. P. - Charon/Harmaja) who sing metal covers of pop songs. Their most popular cover is Take On Me. I love this performance of a Finish Christmas Song that also works in some melodies from Walking in the Air, kzread.info/dash/bejne/fp-CpMiHe8Szldo.html.

Heidi Parviainen was previously a member of Amberian Dawn.

I discovered Dark Sarah a few months ago myself and got swept away! They are incredible, I am so glad to see you do this reaction! I was showing all my friends this song within the first 2 weeks after I discovered it! I have a very different suggestion than you might have ever heard of and you might never hear of from anyone else. But I'd love to see your thoughts on Luc Arbogast - Stella Splendens live with the Blazers. It's a very different style of music and the guys voice...you'll never forget it!

Charon was a great band with JP on vocals 😊

Great reaction❤

right in the romantic era of XIXth century^^

JP's band Charon is also great, fe their song "house of the silent" is amazing.. No video though if I remember correct..

@corinna007

Yeah, I think Charon only had four videos; "November's Eve", "Little Angel", "Ride On Tears", and "Colder".

Ah, Dark Sarah, they have been around for a while and have at least three albums. There are so many great band around the symphonic metal genre from the last twenty plus years, you could make a career out of just reacting to all of them.

They have five albums now. They've changed their sound a little but I still love it, and the way Heidi continues to keep the story going is really creative. Although I admit I'm not sure how she'll continue the story now after the conclusion of the most recent album, but I know she'll come up with something.

Hahaha yes!! Now you can see why I keep mentioning JP and why he is my favourite Finnish singer. 😁🤘❤ To be honest it took me a few listens to decide if I liked this song when I first heard it, but once I did, I threw myself down the rabbit hole and have no intention of leaving. And also, it's not so much a concept album as much as a concept band; all of the music, artwork, and everything is constructed around the story that lead singer Heidi is creating. (At this point in the story, the character of Dark Sarah, played by Heidi, is trapped in the Underworld trying to escape, and this was her first, but definitely not last, encounter with the Dragon, the ruler of the Underworld, played by JP.) I could go off on a whole tangent about this band but I'll let you get into it for yourself. 😊 Welcome to the Darklings, and enjoy the ride. 😁🤘 My first trip to Finland was to see them with JP for the release show of their third album. They're honestly some of the best people. ❤

Thank you so much for reacting to this masterpiece and I'm so happy you loved it!! I think I was one of the first, if not the first, who requested this (at least here in the comments) as JP has been my favourite singer since Charon's first album many years ago! I've loved this song since the first time I watched this video and have watched it a 1000 times at least 😂 l love all Dark Sarah's albums but especially the 3rd one called The Golden Moth where JP as The Dragon sings with the lovely Heidi on every track. They made a few videos for it and I would love to see a reaction for Trespasser! Next must be JP's goth metal band (my favourite band together with Nightwish and Ghost) Charon - there are only videos for 4 songs unfortunately so start with Little Angel and Colder! JP also sang on Poisonblacks first album (their best imo) and there's a video for Love Infernal, very old video so not great quality. But a banger of a track! All else is hollow is another amazing track with a lyric video. Would love to see reactions to those! Northern Kings is also a great band with 4 superstar metal voices, they made metal covers of everything from Aha to Tina Turner. I recommend We don't need another hero. Looking forward to much more from JP, especially Charon, and also Dark Sarah!! ❤
