The band last tour Australia in 2011 with Perth folk metallers Claim The Throne.
Fintroll are promoting their brand new album, ‘Blodsvept’ (English translation: Shrouded in Blood) out now via Century Media Records.
According to legend their formation was conceived when, after a heavy dose of beer and vodka, the bands axeman Somnium (who sadly left our realm for another in 2003) thought it would be a great idea to mix heavy guitars with the melodic ‘humppa’ style of Finnish polka. When it still sounded good to him after sobering up, the concept was kept and Finntroll and an entire new genre of heavy metal was born.
There are legions of bands who owe their folkish sound to the mighty Finntroll and while often imitated, their sound is never duplicated and they remain the undisputed genre leaders.Their ferociously fun live show which sees them dressed completely in troll attire right down to their floppy and pointed ears is visually entrancing. Add to it their powerful death metal riffs, brooding keys, pounding black metal intensity and some super catchy 80’s pop style groove and you have the ingredients for one of the most exciting and otherworldly live shows going.
Keep up to date with the band via their official Facebook page: www.facebook.com/officialfinntroll
