Hit: 5 Stars
I'm sure you know by now, Finntroll adds massive Pokla elements to Black Metal. The thing is, IT WORKS. Extremely well.
I've had this album for about two years and for some reason in the last couple months it has grown on me a lot and became quite addicting. The songs are quite catchy and well... danceable, containing very upbeat rhythms and accordions quite often and sometimes calmer Viking-style brass instruments and keyboards. This is all in addition to crushingly heavy guitars and aggressive growling vocals (in... Swedish). If the melodies aren't polka, then they're more of a Viking-metal or folk-metal sort of feeling.
It is not quite as silly as most people think, although there are a few parts that are silly such as the second part of the last track, "Tomhet Och Tystnad Härska" which is some kind of Finnish drinking song played in a folk style with banjos, hefty trumpets and drunken slurring. Also the "backing vocals" in the title track are some form of totally wacky/drunken chanting, and there's a few bits and pieces of crazy vocals like that scattered around.
"Krig" is a short intro to gradually unleash the chaos, containing pounding drums and deep brass instruments over ambient keyboards. It continues right into the next song "Fodosagan" which begins with a deep piano melody and seems like a relatively normal black metal song until it breaks down and emphasizes the wild accordion melody, then goes into a slightly calmer section with acoustic guitars.
"Slaget Vid Blodsalv" is quite possibly the best song, it immediately starts with a hyper-paced accordion melody right along with heavy guitars; the clash of these two genres is just so ridiculously wild. The drumming in this song is excellent. "Bakom Varje Fura" is a short symphonic arrangement and a break between the chaos, it almost sounds like music from a kid's animated movie or something, but it is honestly really good.
So far I have this album and Nattfodd, and it is really hard to determine which one I like better. So if you like one you'll definitely like the other. And If you haven't heard Finntroll at all yet, you'll love it if you're craving some metal that adds fun and craziness to the chaos.
Jaktens Tid Poster
Collectable 2008 reissue of the band's debut album, released to coincide with the 10th anniversary of it's original release. The packaging features sleevenotes, band essay, expanded artwork and revised front cover design. This hard-tourin', rum-swiggin', take-no-prisoners Finnish brotherhood have made an international name for themselves by combining traditional Finnish music (`humppa') with dark, Folk-tinged Metal. Could it be done? Should it be done? Well, Finntroll proved that this fresh blend of styles could indeed be coaxed into life, and that actually it was an inspired move! Look around today, and there's a whole host of bands furiously waving the `Folk Metal' banner, but Finntroll remain true originals: ahead of the pack and still very much out for blood!
