About the artist

Finntroll is a Finnish folk metal band from Helsinki. They combine black metal with a type of Finnish folk music called humppa. Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, except the song "Madon Laulu" on Visor om slutet. Finntroll's original singer, Katla, used Swedish over Finnish because he was part of a Swedish-speaking minority in Finland, and the language seemed to suit the band's "trollish" outfit. Despite several vocalist changes, this tradition has continued.
