I've seen both Finntroll and Korpiklaani, though I was a tad bit disappointed in the Finntroll gig, Korpiklaani was dreadful apparently. I say "apparently" because I already disliked them, but even some friends of mine who are fans of the band ended up walking out halfway through their set. Yes I sort of am an AC/DC fan, the only reason I'm not a big fan is the reason you stated above. BTW-'blackened brutal power metal with extreme vocals and blues influences'? What bands? I'm always looking for blues-influenced metal, this sounds interesting.

I think Fintrolll lose somethng when they play ive cus they were using keyboards instead of the trad intsruments, i have also heard most of the time korpiklaani are pretty mediocre live, perhaps i was lucky.

Finntroll use a wide variety of keyboard effects, which makes every song unique and surprising. I usually prefer real folk instrumentation, but Korpiklaani always sound the same, especially on their last two albums. Korven Kuningas goes by without you even noticing the different tracks...

I have to say that I marginally prefer Finntroll to Korpiklaani. I say this because I can only listen to about two or three korpiklaani songs in a row without skipping around between songs, just because they are so damn repetitive. Finntroll always finds ways to surprise or entrance me, and have a huge variety of songs. For instance, can listen to Visor om Slutet, my favorite of their works, if I want something creepy/folksy or ambient, or I can listen to Nattfodd or even their new album for more aggressive songs. Finntroll also just make more interesting albums, which always feature captivating intros, outros, random, unpredictable diversions to 'trolliness', and an overall flow from one song to another (in contrast to Korpiklaani, who are more often create collections of songs). I've made playlists primarily of Finntroll's ambient, atmospheric material for reading or writing, thanks to some really inspiring tracks like the outro in Jaktens Tid and Rok from Nattfodd. To be fair, Korpiklaani has some similar songs as well, like With Trees and Mother Earth, but they aren't as interesting and seem play out more predictably. Some of my favorite moments of Finntroll's involve Jonne's yoiking, which I think he should do more in Korpiklaani. Yes, the folk instruments create a more pleasing sound, but due to a lack of creativity in the song writing, this in my opinion detracts from the music more than it benefits it, because you know exactly what sounds and limitations to expect from each song. I'm starting to ramble...essentially, if you listen to Visor om Slutet, the comparison to me is in Finntrolls favor.

Korpiklaani is the most repetitive, tedious bands I know. Finntroll wins by default. Neither put on interesting shows, but Finntroll's vocalist has more energy than all of Korpiklaani combined.
