I'm not a big fan of mediveal/pagan metal or folk metal, but FINNTROLL actually works just fine. Probebly becuse they're more aggressive, and not just humpa-humpa, lalala, if you know what I mean?
FINNTROLL was formed by original singer Katla in 1997, and his the one to blame for the Swedish lyrics (they're from Finland). He was unfortunately forced to leave in 2002 due to problems with his vocal cord. Tapio Wilska replaced him, and in 2006 current singer Vreth stepped in (his the only one who can speak Swedish by the way).
"Nifelvind" is the band's fifth album, and I've only heared a couple of songs here and there before. It's a good album, so it will probebly not dissapoint the old fans.
