A Fallen Troll:(

[~UlvedaL~]

Hi friends...

For all of you out there who, as I do, love Finntroll - this is gonna be sad news once again... !!

Due to my trip in Ecuador, I haven't been in this beloved community of mine since I left in January. I'm glad to be here again, but the the reason why - is so terrible, that I cannot do anything else but to inform you guys.

Here's the exact letter I received from Osmose Records...

I feel your pain guys...

All hails to Finntroll; a favored band of mine... I truly feel sorry for Somniums related family, and the rest of Finntroll!!!

May he enter the golden halls to forever drink and feast!!!

R.I.P.

There are enough fucking threads about this.

No need to be rude. He obviously hadn't heard of this untill now.

I spent about two hours on the bridge Somnium died on today. I looked at the candles, the blood on the ice, and talked to people about him. Some cried, some were just curious. I'm not sure which I was doing there.

The blood on the ice? *grimaces*

impaled nazarene sucks.

It's always a shame when this kind of stuff happens

 

[Nightmarez]

Always... and may their souls rest in peace.

Hey, sorry for being an ass, but since Somnium did not die in glorious battle(unless you consider raving around drunk on a bridge glorious battle)he would not have entered the Golden Halls of Valhalla following traditional beliefs. Wherever he ends up though, I wish him good luck. RIP Somnium!
