Finntroll

[hevydevy]

Il va falloir ce grouiller pour trouver un remplaçant : la tournée arrive en avril !

Finland's FINNTROLL have parted ways with singer Tapio Wilska (SETHIAN, ex-WIZZARD, former session vocalist for NIGHTWISH). Wilska's official statement on the matter reads as follows:

"With a heavy heart I bring you the following news: In a band meeting one hour ago I was fired as a singer of FINNTROLL. Reasons are many and for the most part private, but personal differences and lack of discussion have led my bandmates to doubt my commitment for this band. I believe this will be discussed widely in the following days and more info will undoubtedly be out soon for your viewing pleasure. I will only say the following: These past three years have been the best times of my life and I want to thank all the friends I've gained from this, crews past and present, supporters who came to our shows and shared the good and the bad times. I will always cherish you in my heart. Thanks for my now ex-bandmates for sharing this experience with me. Life goes on and wounds will heal. The future remains to be seen.

"Thank all of you and see you sometime, somewhere."

Ils ont trouvé le remplaçant


Finland's FINNTROLL have secured the services of TWILIGHT MOON frontman Mathias Lillmåns as the group's new lead singer. Lillmåns is reportedly 23 years old, and like FINNTROLL's original vocalist, Katla Mathias, is Fenno-Swedish, with Swedish as his mother tongue.

FINNTROLL parted ways with frontman Tapio Wilska (SETHIAN, ex-WIZZARD, former session vocalist for NIGHTWISH) in January after "reach[ing] a situation in which we [found] it impossible to continue FINNTROLL" with their previous vocalist, according to a statement issued by the group a short time after the split.

FINNTROLL in January completed a short North American tour with German thrashers SODOM. The band's next live appearance is scheduled for June 4 at the Rock Hard Festival in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.

Le précédent album était un chef-d'oeuvre ! ça va être dur de faire mieux !

[blackoum]

J'aime bien tous leurs albums, en premier l'album acoustique,"visor om slutet".
Je m'impatiente de plus en plus pour monter les voir à Paris avec AFTER FOREVER

[Miki]

Mais bon sang d'où sort donc ce concert AFTER FOREVER / FINNTROLL ? ça fait plusieurs fois que tu en parles, et je n'en vois trace nulle part. Ou alors tu vises l'hypothèse où ils viendraient un jour prochain à Paris, sans qu'un tel concert aie pour l'instant été programmé ???

[tiamat]

Fevrier Ensiferum, Mars Finntroll et quoi de beau en Avril ? Le korpiklaani ?

sympathique la pochette, no dirait que ça vient d'un groupe de stoner ou de doom !

Pour ce qui est du titre je le trouve plutôt bien catchy et dansant !

[AdrieN]

Le titre, je l'ai trouvé nul à chier

bien bien moisi

[Mr. Sandman]

Un petit trailer pour patienter jusqu'à la sortie de l'album:

[Mr. Sandman]

l'album est sorti cette semaine !

Première avis, même si je ne l'ai pas encore énormément écouté:

Un album assez étrange, qui alterne le bon et le moins bon, et qui fait place à des sonorités parfois étranges.
Sur le coup, je ne retiens pas grand chose de cet album, comme si le groupe ne s'était pas vraiment foulé...
Je vais lui donner une nouvelle chance d'ici peu, mais pour l'instant c'est moyen...

[Mr. Sandman]

, c'est nul !

(PET SHOP BOYS) and 'The God That Failed' (METALLICA). The cover versions were recorded and mixed at Sonic Pump Studios in June/July by Finntroll and Nino Laurenne.

[Everflow]

Pour le mois de mars.

According to Metalfan.nl, Finnish metal marauders FINNTROLL have set "Blodsvept" as the title of their sixth album, due in Europe on March 25 via Century Media Records. The follow-up to 2010's "Nifelvind" was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki.

"Blodsvept" track listing:

01. Blodsvept
02. Ett Folk Förbannat
03. När Jättar Marschera
04. Mordminnen
05. Rösets Kung
06. Skövlarens Död
07. Skogsdotter
08. Häxbrygd
09. Tva Ormar
10. Fanskapsfylld
11. Midvinterdraken

Check out the cover artwork below.

In regards to the new album, FINNTROLL commented on their studio blog: "Combining our trademark sound with even more influences from non- traditional genres in metal music, we have created 11 songs which show you everything we want to offer. And boy, wasn't that one of the hardest tasks for some time. After all, how do you keep your sound fresh, yet familiar, after 6 albums and 15 years?

"At some point, we were afraid that the songs are not melodic enough. Then we started to fear they became too melodic. Then we let the songs rest for a while and molded them more in a way that the non-melodic stuff got something to hum with, and the cheesy pop songs were arranged more stripped and aggressive. We were confident, yet sometimes scared what will people think of the stuff we've been doing so hard. What if they hate it? That would be fine, but if they would hate it because the material was uninspiring, boring and done-to-death, that would be a huge disappointment. So, we kept pushing and tried to keep it fresh all the time, while still having the 'this has to be FINNTROLL because no other band sounds this insane' — grinning going on."

Fan-filmed video footage of FINNTROLL performing the brand new song "När Jättar Marschera" during their November 3, 2012 concert in Giessen, Germany as part of this year's Heidenfest tour can be seen below.

FINNTROLL in 2011 released a special tour edition of their latest album, "Nifelvind". The digipak tour edition came with new artwork by the band's guitarist, Skrymer, and an extra CD including three brand-new cover versions: "Insects" (OINGO BOINGO), "Can You Forgive Her?" (PET SHOP BOYS) and "The God That Failed" (METALLICA). The cover versions were recorded and mixed at Sonic Pump Studios between June 27, 2011 and July 4, 2011 by FINNTROLL and Nino Laurenne.

"Nifelvind" was released in North America on March 9, 2010 via Century Media Records.
