FINNTROLL Guitarist Passes Away At Age 25 - Mar. 16, 2003

FINNTROLL/IMPALED NAZARENE guitarist Teemu "Somnium" Raimoranta died this morning in Finland at the age of 25. A message posted on FINNTROLL's official web site states simply, "Our dear friend and guitar player passed away on Sunday morning. This is a extremely heavy blow for us and everyone who ever knew this man. We hope that fans and the public won't speculate, more information will be available when things calm down."

FINNTROLL recently completed work on an "acoustic/experimental" CD, titled "Visor Om Slutet" (the group's first with new singer Tapio Wilska), and were set to embark on a European tour next month with KATATONIA. It is not presently clear if the band will proceed with their touring plans in light of Somnium's passing.

Very sad news. Finntroll are a very unique band. Jaktens Tid is a work of pure genius.

Very sad indeed. I feel sorry for his friends, family, band members, fans, etc.

I loved 'Jaktens Tid', one of the most original Metal albums from the last few years.
