"Nifelvind"
Commented FINNTROLL in a statement: "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 '80s 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."

Keyboardist Henri "Trollhorn" Sorvali previously stated about the follow-up to 2007's "Ur Jordens Djup". "I personally think this will be our best album ever. Overall I can sense there's a lot 'punk' on it, lots of weirdness, a load of *riffs* instead of chord progressions, quite a bit of folkish parts and a lurking, evil atmosphere. In the terms of 'heaviness,' it's probably the heaviest album we've done, at least judging from the song material. I could pretty much safely say this sounds like a meaner and more wicked version of 'Ur Jordens Djup' with an occasional hint of the first album."

Oscuros saludos.
attended a listening session for the upcoming FINNTROLL album on September 1, 2009 at Sonic Pump Studios in Helsinki, Finland. Several songs from the band's long-awaited new CD were played back to the media, including "Solsagan", "Den Frusna Munnen", "Dråp" and "Under Bergets Rot".
Vaya cambio de look. Es una mezcla de trolls, akercocke, korpiklaani y unos tiroleses beodos.
Under bergets rot la tocaron en el concierto de barcelona, y escucharla en directo fue muy interesante a pesar de no contar con los intrumentos adicionales (banjo, violín). Yo disfruté como un enano, la verdad. Es un tema muy bailable y que se aleja de las pautas de Ur Jordens djup que no era mal disco ni mucho menos pero no sonaba a Finntroll al 100% (era más "serio", vamos). Si el disco va por este camino la cosa pinta muy muy bien.
¿Pegas? Por ponerme tiquis miquis...yo diría que la producción de guitarra se come demasiado a teclados,banjos & friends. Si lo equilibraran un poco más me parecería un comienzo perfecta y prometedoramente perfecto.
