Finntroll - New Album Details Revealed, Song Online
Original news, posted on 26.11.2009
Century Media Records press release
The last leaves have fallen in the old world of Europe, stripping down the trees to wooden skeletons, and a dark wind is blowing from the coldest north to freeze your souls. Finntroll will blow their new album Nifelvind across the withered earth on 22nd February 2010. Everybody who thought that the album title is Mot Skuggornas Värld should learn his lesson to never trust a Troll. Nifelvind was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki, Finland and mastered by Mika Jussila (add any big Finnish Metal band for namedropping) at Finnvox Studios. The album cover artwork was done again by the band's own guitarist Skrymer.
Finntroll comments on the album as follows: "After tough and hectic weeks in the studio, due to lack of time and summer festivals, we are now really, really pleased with the results. Nifelvind is the most advanced and mature Finntroll-album to date, with musical themes ranging from powerful death metal riffs to dark soundtracks, from pounding black metal to groovy 80's pop-music. All this is accompanied by our trademark sound, lots of never-before-heard instruments in the metal-scene, folklore and legends that make it overall the most versatile album we have created so far."
The tracklist reads as follows:
01. Blodmarsch (intro)
02. Solsagan
03. Den Frusna Munnen
04. Ett Norrskensdåd
05. I Trädens Sång
06. Tiden Utan Tid
07. Galgasång
08. Mot Skuggornas Värld
09. Under Bergets Rot
10. Fornfamnad
11. Dråp
Whereas the band's unique style has spawned an entire new genre that successfully blends black metal darkness with folkloristic melodies, in 2010 Finntroll shall proudly reclaim the folk metal throne and leave myriads of copycats crushed to pieces...
UPDATE (thanks to WinterChild)
In February 2010, Finntroll band will release its highly anticipated new slab of folk-rooted back metal hymns entitled Nifelvind. The album was recorded at Sonic Pump Studios (Apocalyptica, Amorphis, Ensiferum, etc.) in Helsinki, Finland and mastered by Mika Jussila (Children Of Bodom, Sonata Arctica, Him, etc.) at Finnvox Studios. The album cover artwork was done again by the band's own guitarist Skrymer and visually captures the true FINNTROLL spirit perfectly.
Now, the band presents you the first track from this opus, "Under Bergets Rot", at its redesigned MySpace page.
Nifelvind will be released on the following dates:
Finland: Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Germany / Austria / Switzerland / Benelux / Italy: Friday, February 19, 2010
UK / France / Greece / Denmark / Norway / Rest of Europe: Monday, February 22, 2010

| I think still "Mot Skuggornas Värld" sounds like a better title but yeah "Nifelvind" sounds good too. Hope the album will be better then their latest one. |

Well, that is what it said in the news bulletin, so that is how I responded. Yeah, that does seem like a weird type of music, though. I'm looking forward to hearing stuff from the album. |

O.O That sounds fucking *awesome*. |
|
|
|
| Nifelvind does sound much better than Mot Skuggornas Värld. Raaghr I can't wait! >D |
|
|
|
Expecting the same old thing as ever.
If they manage to make a single catchy fun song (like Korpiklaani's ''Vodka'') i'll be happy enough. |
|
|
|
| Extremely interesting news. I have learned to trust this band so much that I'm sure that I will not be disapponted. |
|
|
|
| It will be fucking awesome album! i can't wait!!! |
|
|
|
Nice artwork,as I noticed new logo & the song sounds very folkish  |
|
|
|
Well the first song isnt something very special...but still decent solid work  |
|
|
|
| Nice! |
|
|
|
| Dig their new image...very tolly still but bit more medieval, cool stuff! New song isnt that great tho, not terrible but pretty soft. Guess a way to attract some new fans but I hope the rest of the album will have a bit more balls like the Ur Jordens Djup - totally love that album! |
