Finntroll

Finntroll is a band from Helsinki, Finland, that combines folk metal, black metal, and Finnish traditional dance Humppa. Finntroll's lyrics are mostly in Swedish, the only exception being the song "Madon Laulu" on Visor Om Slutet.

Despite several vocalist changes, this tradition has continued. Read more on Last.fm
