Metsatöll began as an epic heavy metal trio (Markus Teeäär, Silver “Factor” Rattasepp and Andrus Tins) in 1999. This line-up recorded and released the first CD-R-album “Terast mis hangund me hinge” (“The Steel Frozen in Our Souls”). The ancient Estonian dialect word “metsatöll” is a euphemism for the wolf.
In the year 2000, Metsatöll was joined by Lauri, adding a second guitar, the Estonian bagpipes “torupill”, and a variety of zithers and flutes.
In 2001, Kuriraivo joined to take over on bass guitar; in the beginning of the following year the CD single “Hundi loomine” (“Creation of the Wolf”) was recorded; also a video was shot for the title rack.
In the beginning of 2004, Marko Atso replaced Factor behind the drum kit. In December of the same year, the album “Hiiekoda” was completed, bringing the band the title of the Year’s Best Metal Artist at the Estonian Music Awards event in 2005. A year later, the same award went to the album “Terast mis hangund me hinge 10218”*, the re-recorded and enhanced version of the band’s debut release. At the presentation gig for the album, a DVD entitled “Lahinguväljal näeme, raisk!” (“See You on the Battlefield, You Scum!”) was shot, later raking in the Year’s Best DVD award for 2006.
In the autumn of 2007, Metsatöll buried themselves in a studio, emerging with the album “Iivakivi” (“The Mating-Stone”), released in the following February.
Having performed in Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Belgium and Germany, Metsatöll have more than a 170 gigs under their belts. Various albums have sold more than 25 000 copies in all.
In the year 2006, Metsatöll initiated a cooperation project with Estonia’s National Male Choir, staging “Raua needmine” (“Curse Upon Iron”), the magnum opus of Veljo Tormis. Later, DVD-s of the performance in the ruins of the medieval Pirita cloister were released in Estonia and Germany.

My new 3 album box set ODESSA delves into the disgusting involvement the United States government had in hiding Nazi war criminals that were deemed, "intelligence assets", to be used against the Russians. ODESSA also examines the enthusiastic role the Franciscan Order, Argentinian and Chilean Governments, and Arab leaders who hated the Jews played in hiding and finding new homes for former fascists. It seems many nations had a reason to keep these monsters from being captured, and this is my attempt to expose the establishment of a Fourth Reich in South America that still exists to this day.
