Katla is a Finnish singer, most notable for co-founding and singing in folk metal band Finntroll.
Finntroll
In 1997, Katla and Somnium (the future guitarist of Finntroll) got drunk on a party and founded a band. Later they recruited four more members to form the first Finntroll line-up, in 1998, they recorded the demo Rivfader and in 1999 their debut album.
In 2001 they recorded their second album, Jaktens Tid, which would become their most successful (in selling). Before they went in to record their third album, guitarist and co-founder Somnium died by falling from a bridge, but they continued and recorded Visor om Slutet, Finntrolls most unique album to date because it is Humppa only, with acoustic guitars instead of electric guitars.
Tumor
On Visor om Slutet, he shared vocal duties with Tapio Wilska and after the album he quit singing entirely, this was because he received a tumor in his vocal folds and could never sing again.
