High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Finntroll is a folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. They combine elements of black metal and folk metal. Finntroll`s lyrics are mostly in Swedish, 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.
