Rating:
9.0

When I first heard the name of the folk metal genre, I wondered how the traditional sounds of a country were combined with metal music, but when I first listened to Finnish folk metal music, I found all my answers. Undoubtedly, the main focus of folk metal is Finland, and Finntroll is one of the main pillars of the country in the metallic folk genre. A group with six beautifully crafted albums and new techniques in the folk-metallic style brings out the true nature of the Finns, which always gives me a sense of both satisfaction and excitement.

Hellbrann Posts: 82 From: The Netherlands	Permalink 19.03.2013 - 11:25 Rating: 9 Hellbrann Posts: 82 From: The Netherlands It's awesome. Way better than Nifelvind. The use off jazzy brass gives it a weird feeling, but it stays far from Trollfest-territory. Blodsvept is more focused, more direct and more powerful. Every song has a major hook that makes it instantly recognisable. It's the same Finntroll, yet slightly different. Amazing album. ---- Druantia \| Folk metal Loading...

Dinruth Posts: 419 From: Austria	Permalink 22.03.2013 - 21:13 Rating: 9 Dinruth Posts: 419 From: Austria I unlike some here have thoroughly enjoyed Nifelvind ... there's imo so much diversity in it and one catchy song after another ... I've just picked up my copy of Blodsvept and it sounds promising ... I'll decide after a couple of spins if i like it more or less than Nifelvind Loading...

moe5512 Posts: 501 From: Finland	Permalink 25.03.2013 - 13:54 moe5512 Posts: 501 From: Finland Really good and fun! I feel it's a mix between Jaktens tid, Ur jordens djup and Nifelvind. It's maybe even their most solid release! Loading...
Until the End Posts: 141 From: UK	Permalink 25.03.2013 - 15:18 Rating: 8 Until the End Posts: 141 From: UK When I heard the first song they released (Blodsvept) I thought it sounded a bit bland but after hearing the album I can tell you now that in its entirety, it's far from bland. It's cheesy as fuck but it wouldn't be Finntroll without that element. Loading...

NocturnalStalker Metal Addict Posts: 889 From: Spain	Permalink 03.06.2013 - 17:38 Rating: 9 NocturnalStalker Metal Addict Posts: 889 From: Spain The last couple of albums since Vreth joined the line-up let me renew my love for the band I once felt after listening to "Midnattens Widunder" and "Jaktens Tid". "Blodsvept" follows the same direction and shows that the band clearly is not lacking in inspiration and energy. Those 40+ minutes has run so fast that I was left dumbfounded and craving more. ---- "And we are not who we think we are We are who we're afraid to be" - Lux Occulta "The Opening of Eleventh Sephirah" Loading...
