Finland's Finntroll have secured the services of Twilight Moon frontman Mathias Lillmåns as the group's new lead singer. Lillmåns is reportedly 23 years old, and like Fintroll's original vocalist, Katla Mathias, is Fenno-Swedish, with Swedish as his mother tongue.

Finntroll parted ways with frontman Tapio Wilska (Sethian, ex-Wizzard, former session vocalist for Nightwish) in January 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.

Finntroll in January completed a short North American tour with German thrashers Sodom. The band's next live appearance is scheduled for June 4 at the Rock Hard Festival in Gelsenkirchen, Germany.
