FINNTROLL: 'Trollhammaren' Performance Video Released

June 17, 2014

Finnish folk metallers FINNTROLL have just released a live album, "Natten Med De Levande Finntroll" (Night With The Living Finntroll),as a digital download.

To give the fans a taste of what they can expect from this unforgettable live show, the band has released a video from this event, for the song "Trollhammaren". Check it out below.

Since its inception in 1997, Helsinki's FINNTROLL has been one of the strangest and most original entities on the international folk/heathen metal scene. Drawing its subject matter from the Olden Days when the Southern plague called Christianity hadn't yet swept over every forest, nook and cranny of Scandinavia's troll-laden woodlands and telling tales about eradicating mankind (starting with the men of cloth),FINNTROLL's "trollish hoedown metal", a sort of — for lack of a better expression — death metal polka, has been a genre unto itself.

A tireless touring act, the unquenchably thirsty trolls have wreaked damage on stages big and small in all the corners of the Earth. Yet until now there has never been an official FINNTROLL live recording available anywhere. Tuesday, June 17 will mark the uncaging of the live album "Natten Med De Levande Finntroll", the exhibit of what a cadre of alcohol-fueled trolls can do when leashed upon a live audience. This is FINNTROLL in full flight as witnessed onstage Amsterdam’s prestigious Melkweg concert hall on September 20, 2008.

FINNTROLL's sixth album, "Blodsvept", was released in April 2013 via Century Media Records. The follow-up to 2010's "Nifelvind" was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki and was mastered by Mika Jussila at Finnvox Studios. FINNTROLL's Henri "Trollhorn" Sorvali and his bandmates produced the album themselves, while the CD cover artwork was handled by FINNTROLL guitar player Samuli "Skyrmer" Ponsimaa.
