Biography

A folk/black metal band from Helsinki, Finland. Finntroll was established in 1997 by Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta (guitar) and Jan "Katla" Jämsen (vocals) who had the vision of fusing the darkness and grandeur of black metal with the traditional Finnish hoedown-music. Group's original line-up was completed in 1998 by Skrymer, Tundra, Trollhorn and Beast Dominator and their debut album "Midnattens widunder" was released in 1999. Altogether they have released six full lengths, the last one being 2013's "Blodsvept". Despite being a Finnish band, Finntroll chose to write their lyrics in Swedish due to their original vocalist Katla being Fenno-Swedish. In March 2003 Finntroll was struck by the tragic death of the guitarist Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta. Current line-up: Tundra (Sami Uusitalo) – Bass (1998 - ) Skrymer (Samuli Ponsimaa) – Guitars (1998 - ) Trollhorn (Henri Sorvali) – Keyboards, Guitar (1998 - ) Routa (Mikael Karlbom) – Guitars (2003 - ) Vreth (Mathias Lillmåns) – Vocals (2006 - ) Virta (Aleksi Virta) – Keyboards (2009 - ) MörkÖ (Heikki Saari) – Drums (2014 - ) Past members: Ancient Lord (Mikael Harju) - Bass (1997-1998) Nattvind (Rauno Raimoranta) - Drums, keyboards (1997) Grönt Helvetes Kungen (Tomi Ullgrén) - Guitar (1997-1998) Somnium (Teemu Raimoranta) - Guitar (1997-2003) Katla (Jan Jämsen) - Vocals, keyboards (1997-2003) Beast Dominator (Samuel Ruotsalainen) - Drums (1998-2014) Tapio Wilska - Vocals (2002-2006)

LYRICS

[Somnium / Katla]
... Bygden står stilla, en stjärklar natt ...
... En eld fjärran skådas, ty de närmar sig ...
Fram rider trollens kung
med vargbroder ut på jakt
Allt levade flyr, fä och frände
blodet skall dranka denna ensliga trakt

Utav mörket i sin evika sal,
han ger sig ut, en törst att släcka
Gär skyndas de fram på krokiga ben,
Flera liv att tas, hundra ben att knäcka

Trollherrens sällskap river sig fram,
genom dyster skog och fruset fjäll
De dräper vad de ser och finner allt gömt,
huvudens snart pryder deras heliga häll

Så står trackten dyster och mörk,
solen stiger inget liv att skåda
Underjorden firas en lyckad jakt,
sedan igen sekler tystnad råda ...

(ve dig människa du inkärktar här,
snart trollen dig till hällen bär ...)
