Tapio Wilska was fired in January 2006 and replaced in April by Vreth. Since then, Katla has been writing Finntroll's lyrics again. Although they are from Finland, their lyrics are in Swedish as Katla is Fenno-Swedish (a minority in Finland whose primary language is Swedish).

Compilation appearances:
-"Korpens Saga" on Metal Hammer - Battle Metal VII (Metal Hammer, 2008).
-"The God That Failed" on Metallica- A Tribute to the Black Album (Metal Hammer, 2011)
