Finntroll\'s second album, 2004\'s Nattfodd, offers yet another confounding manifestation of their weird splicing of black/death metal brutality with Finnish folk music -- more specifically, the quite uppity, polka-like form known as \"humppa.\" Yes, it\'s all quite daft, to be honest, and we haven\'t even touched upon the no doubt drunken sextet\'s fantasy-based lyrics -- sung entirely in Swedish, naturally. Further enhanced by mood-setting sound effects (ocean sounds, horses galloping, birds chirping, seagull\'s squawking, etc.), mind-boggling tunes like \"Fiskarens Fiende\" and \"Marksnadsvisan\" are usually spared utter comedic dismissal only by the carefully assembled layers of sound underneath, which collate pummeling, dark-edged guitar riffs, spine-chilling death shrieks, and fully orchestrated walls of synths, strings, and chorales. Yet, having said that, it\'s rather telling that Finntroll\'s strongest moments (see the stunning title track and album-closing tandem \"Grottans Barn\" and \"Routas Vaggvisa,\" in particular) seem to occur when dramatic minor chords crush those happy-go-lucky melodies and polka rhythms underfoot. Therein lies Finntroll\'s dilemma: how to sell a project so obviously rooted in a good giggle as a serious enterprise -- especially within a genre as oh-so-serious as heavy metal? Clearly, it comes down to a matter of opinion and a split decision. If the rudimentary folk-metal experiments of Amorphis were already more than you could stand, then stay the hell away from Nattfodd; but if you\'re starved for a little bit of humor and variety with your heavy metal, Finntroll\'s well-executed curiosity offers a welcome diversion. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
