Finntroll

Humppa folk metal. When I first saw this(5 minutes before writing this), I said: "What the hell is humppa??" Humppa is related to jazz and a very fast foxtrot. Now that I think of it, some songs might be related to jazz. But some are definitely not. But in Finnish it's a term for all social dancing, which makes sense, because these songs make me feel that I need to dance(if those strange movements could be called dancing and not seizure). I know this band for half a year or maybe a year at max. Their texts are about trolls, Finnish history, and fantasy. If this is true I cannot say, because they sing in Swedish. Quite strange, isn't it?? Maybe its not Swedish, but it's definitely not Finnish, because I'm trying to learn it a bit and it sounds different. And what's best is, that I'm gonna see them live at Masters of Rock festival. I'm so excited!! It's gonna be fun, dancing with friends, beers in hands.
