Finntroll - Solsagan

I have a french friend that love this band and now Im going to please him a bit.
They are quite cool. Love the energy they have.

Finntroll is an extreme metal and folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. They combine elements of black metal, death metal, and folk metal with a type of Finnish folk music called humppa.



Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish YAY :D the only exception being the
song "Madon Laulu" 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.



In february this year they had to cancel a couple of shows in the US due to the harsh weather over there, I think they closed the roads down cos it was snowing to much.
