乐队的名字可以这么差开：Finn——意为“芬兰的”无可厚非；然而troll的意思就丰富多采充满悬念了。乐队称自己的风格为Trollish metal，自然和troll的本意有关：A vocal composition in successive parts; a round.轮唱曲由连续的部分构成的声乐曲，轮唱曲。那么Finntroll意为芬兰的轮唱曲。也有“To sing heartily:声音洪亮地唱，高声唱”的意思，见troll a carol高声唱颂歌。那么该叫做芬兰颂歌。注意注意！troll——Ultimately from Old Norse最终源自古斯堪的纳维亚语：是一种巨怪斯堪的那维亚民间传说中的超自然的生物。时而被描述成友好的或顽皮的侏儒，时而又被描述成巨人，居住在山洞里、小山上或桥下。。
似乎芬兰的乐队都以旋律见长，像大家熟悉的Amorphis，Nightwish，Sentenced、Startovarius 、Children of Bodom、Sonata Arctica……与大家所熟悉的Empyrium有所不同，Finntroll听起来更偏重黑金属的残暴彪悍。1997年，乐队灵魂Somnium(同时又是ex-Thy Serpent和Impaled Nazarene吉他手)和主唱Katla用源于芬兰波尔卡舞曲的民谣旋律加之野蛮的黑腔演唱做出了风格独特的音乐效果，这个特点在他们的demo《rivfader》中便显现出来。
1998年一月Finntroll制作了小样《rivfader》.问题是他们仍然在使用鼓机（听起来十分明显），他们缺少一个有力量的鼓手。不久，鼓手B. Dominator (分别又是Barathrum, Rapture的鼓手)加入到乐队Finntroll变得完整而更加强大：吉他手Skrymer（那时他的名字是Ffirmy）、键盘手Trollhorn(他同时又是旋律死亡乐队Moonsorrow的键盘手)和贝司手Tundra。
1999年，在Spikefarm Records的“严格要求”下，Finntroll完成了首张专辑。《Midnattens Widunder》收录了九首Rhythm/Black metal作品，也因此确立了他们的风格
此后通过对旋律化地进一步探索，Finntroll和Walltone Studios再次合作,他们对波尔卡舞步中的黑金属更加谙熟,甚至有了些交响方面的表现。此时这伙人已经知道了如何做出他们想要得到的那种音乐效果。他们开始了第一次巡演，在这期间慢慢地磨合各自的灵感。那个夏天Finntroll在芬兰和国外的一些地方举行了几场露天表演。最成功最著名的一次莫过于在Wacken那次,他们被许多杂志记者问到“何时进行下一次演出？”受欢迎程度可想而知。不幸的是键盘手Trollhorn在这之后便离队了。秋天时，乐队准备开始他们第一次的欧洲巡演，但是由于主唱Katla患病，他们不得不放弃展示才华的大好机会。
巡演之后Finntroll的第二张专辑于2001年问世《Jaktens Tid》。再这张专辑里，乐队在音乐氛围的设计上有了很大进步,而这种对营造氛围的关注，从他们的第一个demo中大家就可以注意到。专辑在全世界内饱受赞誉，吸引了越来越到的大批听众。Finntroll比以前任何一个时候都更加团结和强大。专辑在芬兰的专辑排行榜爬升到前二十位，这毫无疑问是乐队的成名作了。
乐队结合了Death/ Viking metal 配以Finnish Russian Folk（芬兰的俄语民谣）与Humppa唱诗（我们强调了很多遍的芬兰波尔卡舞曲风格，也是Finntroll独有的），这绝对不是异想天开的组合，把好奇心使用上吧！去Finntroll的音乐世界一探究竟！Finntroll is a folk metal band from Finland. They
combine black metal and Finnish polka, called humppa. Although it is a
Finnish band, Finntroll's lyrics are in Swedish, because Swedish just
sounds "damn trollish", according to the band's first vocalist, Katla
(whose native tongue is Swedish). Swedish is a native language of
Finland, along with Finnish.
