Katla is a Finnish singer, most notable for co-founding and singing in folk metal band 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).
