Visor om Slutet (English: Songs of the end) is an all-acoustic folk metal album by the Finnish band Finntroll. It was released in 2003 by Spinefarm.

Visor om Slutet was released after a number of misfortunes befell several band members, including the death of guitarist Teemu Raimoranta whom the album is dedicated to. It was recorded in a cabin off in the woods near Helsinki, and coined as an "acoustic experiment," and features the use of tradionally non-metal instruments such as the kazoo. Though quite different in its sound to the Viking metal-inspired Jaktens Tid, the album was a relative success.
