stands for the world's age according to Estonian chronology. It is much more influenced by folk music and done in a much more professional way in general. They have also released a live album called Lahinguväljal näeme, raisk! (See you on the battlefield, sod/bastard!). In 2009, Metsatöll signed the Finnish record label Spinefarm Records. A new album, titled Äio was released on 3 March in Estonia and Finland. An Internet single, along with the video to a song from the album, called "Vaid Vaprust" was released on 13 January. The video used fragments of the 1980 animated film Suur Tõll by Jüri Arrak. In 2011, Metsatöll released another album called Ulg. The first song released was Kivine Maa and a video was made for Küü. The album was nominated for the Estonian Music Awards in the "Metal Album of the Year" category. In 2012, Metsatöll played on the main stage of the Tuska Open Air Metal Festival in Helsinki. They later released a concert album called Tuska from the same performance.

For example, a Hiiekoda is a type of (usually wooden) sacral building constructed near or in a forest considered holy in the pre-Christianisation customs of Estonians. While the word Sutekskäija does mean Werewolf, the Estonian werewolf legends are considerably different from those known in Anglophone countries, and this particular word has an emphasis on the human aspect of the person involved, so a better (although not as catchy) translation might be One who regularly engages in werewolf business. The name Raua needmine is a reference to a work of the same name by Veljo Tormis. The latter's name is sometimes translated as Curse Upon Iron in English. References External links Official
