Hall Of Metal has issued an interview with FINNTROLL vocalist Vreth. The following is an excerpt:
Q: This (Nifelvind) is your second album with the band. How do you feel? And, do you like to be compared with Wilska?
A: "Well, it’s never been a problem to adapt from the beginning to this band, but this album is a bit different for me because the last time, when I joined, they had all the songs already written, and now I’ve been with them from the beginning of the writing process and everything. But I think this feels like an album in which I’ve been more active than in the first one. I don’t think that people are comparing me to Wilska anymore. Maybe the first year, but it stopped a little bit now."
Q: Was it difficult for you to adapt yourself to the band?
A: "Not really. They’re all nice guys and they are really easy to get along with, so I was very welcome in the beginning. Besides, their lyrics are in Swedish and I speak in Swedish also, so they were quite easy for me to learn.
Q: Now that you mention that, why are your lyrics in Swedish if you’re Finnish?
A: "In Finland there are two official languages, Swedish and Finnish. I come from the Swedish-speaking part of Finland. We are not really that many, I think it’s 6% of Finland that speaks Swedish, about 300,000 people, something like that. My parents speak Swedish, but of course I’ve been studying Finnish in the school."
