The band's name is a reference to an ancient legend about a group of Swedish priests who entered Finland and had most of their group killed by a wild Finnish man; the survivors returned home with horrible tales of their encounter with the dreaded Finn-Troll. The Sámi are the indigenous people of the northernmost portion of the Fennoscandian peninsula, first settling the region at the end of the Bronze Age or beginning of the Iron Age. Originally founded with the name Vargatron ("Wolfthrone"), this Swedish band Vintersorg began with the goal of pushing the boundaries of extreme metal genres, originally starting from a mostly black metal sound with folk influences, but over the years shifting into a more avant-garde and even prog-metal sound.
