Finntroll biography

Finntroll is a band from Helsinki, Finland, that combines folk metal, black metal, and Finnish traditional dance Humppa. Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, the only exception being the song "Madon Laulu" on Visor Om Slutet. Finntroll's original 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 continued. To date, the band's discography includes seven full-length albums (Midnattens widunder (1999), Jaktens tid (2001), Nattfödd (2004), Ur jordens djup (2007), Nifelvind (2010), Blodsvepet (2014), Vredesvävd (2020)), a live album (Natten Med De Levande Finntroll (2014)), and three EPs (Visor Om Slutet (2003), Trollhammaren (2004), Blodsvept EP (2013)). Their newest studio album Vredesvävd was released on September 18th, 2020.

  • What's interesting in Manchester?

    Manchester has become one of the largest cities in Britain over the past hundred years. Although Manchester is a city with a very rich history, the main focus of its development has always been industry. The center is almost entirely furnished with warehouses and factory buildings, entangled with a network of canals and old railway bridges. It is quite natural that no one gave such kindness to the reduction of production: in the former shops now open fashionable bars, in factory warehouses - designer shops, and under the old bridges "settled" nightclubs. It was for the active nightlife of the city and got its middle name - Madchester.
