EPTYou can imagine how confused I was, surely any site, forum, magazine, tv show, fruit market, anything no matter how un-related would have at least one Jari Maenpaa page.
So it's up to me to make a Jari tribute on this [STARCRAFT:BROOD WAR] site, even though I'm not very good at this kind of thing.
Jari Maenpaa is an awesome guy from Finland that can do anything. He started off in some band I forget which anyways it wasn't that great, but one day he went to a better band: Ensiferum. He then became an awesome viking metal person. He wrote epic melodies in Ensiferum and played guitar, even though it couldn't be extra awesome uber prwn guitar because Ensiferum was supposed to be slow folky music.
One day a guy from the label Nuclear Blast listened to demos Jari had recorded for his solo project Wintersun and of course was blown away by awesome. The three original demos can be found in the link below

So the Nuclear Blast guy offered Jari a contract. Feeling generous, Jari accepted. Jari started working on his solo project, but soon Ensiferum and Wintersun schedules started affecting each other, so Jari had to leave Ensiferum.

An Ensiferum fan who just heard the bad news
Thus Jari Maenpaa released an album where he could be as awesome as he wanted without having to worry about being too awesome (...)

Jari continues to write awesome songs and sing them with his growling skills which cannot be compared to any other persons.

I hope my sub-par tribute page made you remember how awesome Jari Maenpaa is.
