	Finntroll - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although it is a Finnish band, Finntroll's lyrics are in Swedish, because Swedish just sounds "damn trollish", according to the band's first vocalist, Katla (who speaks Swedish as a native language).
		Finntroll was founded in 1997, by Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta, guitarist of Impaled Nazarene, and Jan "Katla" Jämsen.
		Finntroll didn't dissolve after losing one of their founding members, but decided to go on, touring for two weeks in Europe, supported by the group Katatonia.

		Finntroll Has been a very influential band for me. I am not going to lie, without Finntroll I would have never came up with the idea of Trolleve.
		Finntroll is back and they have returned to their Trollish Metal roots.
		Finntroll also performs a metal version of "Försvinn Du Som Lyser" a song originally on their acoustic cd which included some of the last work of their previous guitarist, Somnium, who died a tragic death last year.

		Finntroll's inscentives behind the music is to take regualar trips in the the kvlt dark woods and hunt for innocent pagan virgins to mercilessly sacrifice to whatever Finnish gods they worship.
		As a means of protection against Finntroll, the pop music industry declared that the creation of horrible music must be increased tenfold in 2005.
		So far, no change in Finntroll's awesomeness has been noted, a fact particularly worrisome to Linkin Park and Korn fans, who have become deathly afraid of other forms of music in case they might be Finntroll in disguise.

		Finntroll: Late in 2005 I had received a copy of “Nattfodd” for review and I was instantly blown away by some of the most different sounding Metal I had heard in a long time.
		Finntroll is not a name that you hear too often when speaking of International metal bands, but you wouldn't know it this night at BB Kings when a nearly packed house of screaming fans came to witness the arrival of these Finnish metal upstarts.

	Finntroll : Nattfödd - Review at Harvest Moon Music
		I've been aware of the Finnish band Finntroll for a couple of years now, knowing them to be a Black Metal band that incorporated folk elements into their sound.
		To say that Finntroll is a "Black Metal" band would be a misclassification, however.
		The brutal folk metal of Finntroll is a unique blend of extreme and traditional elements that sets this band apart from their peers.

		A Finnish style of polka, this humppa influence is brought to life by a plethora of keyboard wizardry, easily imitating the sounds of an accordion, a mouth harp, and kazoo.
		Finntroll’s sophomore release, Jaktens Tid (2001, Century Media) was considered to be the band’s breakthrough in the underground.
		Recorded in a cabin in the woods, Finntroll’s third album was almost bereft of metal in any shape or form.

		Beginning from the year 2002 the band hit a string of bad luck, beginning from cancellations of some tours, continuing with the vocalist Katla's worsening throat problems which finally lead to his early retirement from the band.
		While recovering from the loss of a dear friend and bandmate the rest decided that ending the band would be an insult to his memory, and decided to honour and grieve him the best way they could, by going on tour and keeping his music alive.
		The new material captures the essence of Finntroll, raw, epic, melodic in all it's glory, combining elements of metal, folk, punk, humppa mixed to a trollish beat.

		Finntroll is a Finnish Metal Band founded in 1997.
		Nearly all songs are done in Swedish, because their original lyric-writer Katla spoke it as his native tongue and, to quote the band, it just sounds "damn trollish".
		Finntroll are the best folk metal band in my opinion.

	Finntroll - Wikipedia
		Nattfödd stellt bis dato, trotz großer bandinterner Veränderungen, Finntrolls ausgereiftestes Werk dar und wurde von der Fachpresse hoch gelobt.
		Finntroll kombinieren in ihrer Musik Metal-Klänge vorwiegend aus den Bereichen des Black und Death Metal mit traditionellen Instrumenten und Klängen, dem so genannten Humppa.
		Finntroll singen ihre Texte allerdings auf schwedisch, da Schwedisch „verdammt trollisch“ klingt, wie es Jan „Katla“ Jämsen, der erste Sänger, einst begründete (außerdem handelt es sich um seine Muttersprache, da er der Schwedisch sprechenden Minderheit Finnlands angehört).

	Finntroll
		Finntroll is definitely a band that is full of originality.
		Finntroll has been out of the scene since 2002 which to me is just too damn long.
		Also a typical thing for Finntroll is that when you listen to their songs, you sometimes have the feeling that something's very disharmonic, but this is a particular, important detail of Finntroll's sound.

		Successfully moving forward FINNTROLL barricaded themselves in a cabin outside Helsinki with a mobile studio, sauna, and large quantities of alcohol.
		The band, choosing to honor their fallen comrade the best way they knew, kept the commitment it had made to Katatonia, and honoring his memory played his music on a two-week European tour.
		FINNTROLL's captivating rhythms and warlike anthems pour forth, each note painting a scene reminiscent of the battle-hewn northland.

	Finntroll - Trollhammaren - review @ Tartareandesire.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Three years have passed since Finntroll unleashed their latest trollstorm (“Jaktens Tid”) upon the world and many things have changed in their realm since.
		“Skog” is perhaps the most typical Finntroll song of the three remaining tracks (surprisingly written by newcomer Routa) and goes back to the sound of “Midnattens Windunder” with its haunting and mid-tempo humppa-esque rhythms.
		“Helvete” differs quite a bit from the Finntroll we are used to with its jazzy feel but after two spins it hits like a punch in the face as well.

		Finntroll exists as one of the most unique and enjoyable metal bands of the current time.
		While 'band of the month' is certainly an honorable enough title for any band to have bestowed upon them, Finntroll is perhaps the one band I can think of for whom the title just doesn't seem adequate.
		Finntroll was formed in Finland in 1997 by guitarist Somnium and vocalist Katla.

	Finntroll at Harvest Moon Music
		Finntroll are anything but simple, however, and can probably be considered one of the most complex and eccentric metal bands on the scene today.
		Combining Black Metal with elements of folk, classic metal, and Power Metal, these guys show a remarkable ability to derive a listenable sound from influences that would on the surface seem to be mutually exclusive.
		This has been done before, of course, by bands such as Waylander, Elvenking, and others, but Finntroll have carved out a unique niche for themselves in the world of extreme folk metal.

		Finntroll are one of the most bizarre metal bands in the genre today.
		Finntroll may be one of metal's most bizarre bands, but they are another talented group to come out of Finland.

	Pile Of Skulls - Finntroll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The duo recorded their first demo Rivfader in early 1998, and figured that they couldn't go on as a duo anymore, so several musicians were hired to complete the line-up: guitarist Skrymer, bass player Tundra, drummer B.
		Don't deny it, there was a time just about everyone thought of Finntroll as a joke, in a positive way, but nevertheless a joke.
		Two of Finntroll's best songs appear in the form of "Försvinn Du Som Lyser" (which was re-recorded as a better, electric version for the Trollhammaren EP) and the emotional ballad "Svart Djup".

	Amazon.co.uk: Midnattens Widunder: Music: Finntroll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Finntroll's debut album was the result of random experimentation by a few drunken musicians, but they have managed to form a whole career out of it.
		Album highlight "Rivfader" is a fantastic amalgamation of all these elements, Trollhorn's keyboards playing just as big a part as the guitars of Skrymer and Somnium, whist the title track is Finntroll's greatest song to date, featuring a great keyboard riff and some insane babbling from Katla.
		With this record, Finntroll both set the foundation for what will (hopefully) be a long and successful career, and also recorded the best debut of 1999.

	FINNTROLL \| Rockdetector
		A quite unique proposition in extreme Metal circles in that FINNTROLL base their lyrics upon the Trollish myths of Scandinavia and back it all up with Polka inspired "Schlager-Death" Metal.
		According to legend, the FINNTROLL concept came to the pair in March 1997 upon waking from a drunken stupor induced by a marathon drinking binge.
		It would not only be the act’s revolutionary clash of tradition and amplification that set them apart, Finntroll also chose to sing exclusively in Swedish, apparently because this language was better to evoke the trollish spirit.

	Heavy Metal Resource Reviews-FinnTroll & Jimi Hendrix Tribute
		Spikefarm's Finntroll release a new album as well as an ep titled 'Trollhammeren' which are definitely cool for various reasons.
		This band without a doubt has to be one of the most unusual but infectious and catchy bands I've heard in a while.
		Finntroll embrace a sound that I would classify as thrash folk.

		Finntrolls music is the truest form of Pagan Folk Metal today.
		Sinister guitar riffs combined with devil-driven drums, wrap themselves in folkish melodies and traditional Finnish humppa (polka) style.
		Drummer D. Dominator (Barathrum, Rapture), guitarist rmy, keyboardist Trollhorn (Moonsorrow), and bassist Tundra crawled forth from the deep woods to lend their strength.

	Rough Edge: Finntroll CD Reviews
		But the metal guitar that eventually burns through every song on "Nattfodd" leaves no doubt that Finntroll are out to crush and destroy with each track.
		If I had to find a band that would compare with Finntroll's unique sound, I'd have to draw a comparison to In Extremo.
		Like In Extremo, however, Finntroll makes for some very different, very fascinating heavy music listening.

		But it all makes sense when you listen to it, and the songs themselves are catchy and vibrant as hell – if you can sit through a Finntroll record without tapping your feet or banging your head, then check your damn pulse, poseur.
		Don’t worry, for all their gypsy accordion and mug-hoisting choruses of drunken golem-hunters, there’s still a lot of fl fucking metal in the Finntroll soul.
		Finntroll are one of the best bands around right now, and it’ll be a crime if more people don’t get into Nattfodd.

	Finntroll - Jaktens Tid review
		Following up their debut, "Midnattens Widunder", the Finnish Finntroll unleash yet another fun folk/polka/fl metal release.
		As with their debut, this isn't just another fl/folk act that take themselves way too seriously.
		Sharing the same line-up as before (including Somnium aka Teemu Raimoranta of Impaled Nazarene fame), Finntroll seems to have gelled together nicely as the songs have a more fluid and established feel compared to their original release.

		Finntroll produce a sound like nothing else on earth; Humppa and Metal, never mind how it works it just does.
		Finntroll merge two of the most different musical styles around, fl metal and 'humppa', a Finnish style of polka.
		This combination was discovered entirely by accident by two drunken musicians, but has paved the way for two albums, of which Jaktens Tid is the second.
