| - Finntroll came together for the first time in 1998. The band featured numerous artists members of Moonsorrow, Barathrum, and Impaled Nazarene. The band members of Finntroll are guitarsist Somnium (Impaled Nazarene, Thy Serpent), Katla the vocalist, drummer B. Dominator (Barathrum, Rapture), Örmy on live guitars, Trollhorn (Moonsorrow) on keyboards and Tundra on bass. The band first made their demo tape, %22Rivfader%22 in 1998, followed by their first full length CD, %22Midnattens Widunder%22 in 1999. Despite being a Finnish band, Finntroll chooses to write their lyrics in Swedish being quite rough sounding. In 2001 they release Jaktens Tid their second full length CD. In 2003 they release a new CD with a new sound. Intended as experimental version before their next work, the band decided to record it anyway. Unfortunately, after the recording of the forementioned album, Finntroll was struck by the tragic death of the guitarist Teemu %22Somnium%22 Raimoranta in March 2003. This didn't stop the band however. In 2004 they released the EP %22Trollhammaren%22 and the album %22Nattfödd%22.

| - Finntroll is a folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. They combine elements of black metal and folk metal. Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, the only exception being the song %22Madon Laulu%22 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 %22trollish%22 outfit. Despite several vocalist changes, this tradition has continued.According to bandmembers 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.Finntroll's lyrics mainly deal with legends and tales revolving around the fictional Troll-King %22Rivfader%22 and the trolls fighting against the Christians who entered their lands and spread their beliefs. A recurring theme is the story of two priests named %22Aamund%22 and %22Kettil%22. The first three full-length albums feature a rather short but fierce song about the two men who constantly get themselves into trouble with the trolls, only to get beaten up and mutilated over and over again by the wrathful followers of Rivfader.To date, the band's discography includes six full-length albums, a live album and two EPs. Their newest studio album Blodsvept was released on March 22, 2013. In 2014, the band released the live album Natten Med De Levande Finntroll (%22Night of the Living Finntroll%22).
