Finntroll

Finntroll is a Finnish folk metal band from Helsinki, formed in 1997. They combine elements of black metal and death metal with the traditional Finnish folk style humppa, and most of their songs, interestingly, are sung in Swedish. The lyrics often explore myths, trolls, and conflicts between pre-Christian beings and the arrival of Christianity in the imaginary realms of trolls. The current lineup includes: Mathias “Vreth” Lillmåns (vocals), Samuli “Skrymer” Ponsimaa (guitar), Mikael “Routa” Karlbom (guitar), Sami “Tundra” Uusitalo (bass), Aleksi Virta (keyboards), Henri “Trollhorn” Sorvali (keyboards/guitar in studio work), and Heikki “Mörkö” Saari (drums).
