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

Hon stod vid foten av en häll så mörk
Målad kalkad och kall
Hon drog ett streck
Med en ryckande arm
Over himmelens rand
Ner till hetaste djup

Hon stod på isens blåaste vidd
Målad kalkad och kall
Hon ristade sitt tecken, sin runa
Med en ryckande arm
Runt vattnens flöden en ring
Havsbestar och ånga då steg

Hon lyfte upp över sky och rymd
Målad kalkad och varm
Ur klippens djup en låga då steg
Ur hennes höfte, en storm av eld

Hon lyfte upp över sky och rymd
Målad kalkad och varm
Ur klippors djup en låga då steg
Ur hennes höfte, en storm av eld
Ett ljus hon blev av lågans makt
Ensam på rymdens tron
I all sin prakt

Hon ristade sitt tecken, sin runa
Med en ryckande arm
Runt vattnens flöden en ring
Havsbestar och ånga då steg
