Spinefarm Records has set a March 28 Finnish release date for the fifth album from FINNTROLL, entitled “Ur Jordens Djup” (“From the Depths of the Earth”). The CD, which was recorded by Nino Laurenne at Sonic Pump studios in Helsinki, will be the group's first release with new vocalist Mathias Lillmĺns (a.k.a. Vreth; TWILIGHT MOON) following the departure of Tapio Wilska (SETHIAN, ex-WIZZARD, former session vocalist for NIGHTWISH) last spring. Lillmĺns is reportedly 24 years old, and like FINNTROLL's original vocalist, Katla Mathias, is Fenno-Swedish, with Swedish as his mother tongue.

01. Gryning
02. Sĺng
03. Korpens Saga

06. Slagbröder

FINNTROLL parted ways with Wilska in January 2006 after “reach[ing] a situation in which we [found] it impossible to continue FINNTROLL” with their previous vocalist, according to a statement issued by the group a short time after the split.
