Black Metal, Folk |
Finntroll is an extreme metal/folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. They combine elements of black metal and death metal with
type of Finnish folk music called "Humppa". Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, the only exception being the song "Madon
Laulu" (in Finnish) on Visor Om Slutet. Finntroll's first singer Katla decided to use Swedish over Finnish since he was part of a
Swedish-speaking minority in Finland and the sound of the language seemed to better suit the band's "trollish" outfit. Despite
several vocalist changes, this tradition has since been continued.

Finntroll is an extreme metal/folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. They combine elements of black metal and death metal with
type of Finnish folk music called "Humppa". Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, the only exception being the song "Madon

Swedish-speaking minority in Finland and the sound of the language seemed to better suit the band's "trollish" outfit. Despite
several vocalist changes, this tradition has since been continued.
According to band members Vreth and Skrymer, they took their name from an old Finnish legend where Swedish priests coming to
Finland had an encounter with a wild-looking man who killed most of their party. The survivors came back bearing the tale of the
Finn-Troll.
As of March 2013, the band's discography includes 5 full-length albums and 3 EPs. A fifth album is already finished and waiting
for its release in late March.
