Finntroll - Nattfodd
When I interviewed Trollhorn for Urkraft two years ago he proclaimed a return to darker and more brutal realms, as those ventured on "Midnattens Widunder", on coming Finntroll discs. As I now sit here listening to the follow-up to "Jaktens Tid", entitled "Nattfodd" (eng. Nightborn), I have to say it was a truth with slight modification. Sure enough a large part of the songs are more fierce and brutal, especially those with Trollhorn as main composer, but at the same time this is by far Finntroll's most accessible album to date. The power metal influences as heard on "Jaktens Tid" are not as prese nt though, a fact many will salute - perhaps most of all Trollhorn himself, hehe. It has to be said though this definitely is a darker and more sombre release overall than their last full-lenght, in spite of its accessibility. I've always found it extremely hard to review albums such as this one. Albums filled to the brim with one great song after another. Where to start!? What to emphasise? I could get off easy with hailing this as one of the greatest albums I've ever heard. Because it is. I could praise this as the supreme culmination of Finntroll's own brand of folkish metal...thus far. Because it is. Few albums have had the power to move me to tears simply by being GREAT. Guns n' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction" was one. Sentenced's "Amok" was another. Moonsorrow's "Kivenkantaja" a third. "Nattfodd" definitely belongs to that exclusive category of magic musical art. There is no point in picking out top tunes as they all claim that throne at one point or another - first it's "Trollhammaren", next it's "Grottans barn" (Children of the Cave), then it's "Manniskopesten" (Humanpest)....you get the picture. Neither is there any more reason to ramble on about the greatness of this album. Just buy it and marvel
