News: trailer for Finntroll's upcoming album released

Artist: Finntroll

Album: Blodsvept

Genre: Extreme Folk Metal
Country: Finland
Release date: March 25, 2013

After the info about Finntroll's upcoming album somehow leaked at the end of January, the band officially revealed the details about Blodsvept, their highly awaited new album. Hence, we found out that the album is scheduled to be released on March 25th, 2013 via their label, Century Media.

The painting used on the cover was done by the band's guitarist Skrymer (who also did the artwork for the band's previous releases). Along with this eccentric image, the anticipation for Blodsvept just keeps rising. Three years after their last release, the band gives us a six-minute preview of all the songs set to appear on the album. You can hear bits from this upcoming album in this YouTube video:

Blodsvept, the title track, was described by the band:

"'Blodsvept' is the track that sets the tone for this new abomination of an album. This song is perfect for driving - Driving for your life, that is, while being chased by a gang of trolls, in a catapult, on a motorway! Pull out your sun-spectacles from your glove compartment and honk if you love blood and guts!"
