BIO:
TROLD plays folk metal with a mischievous smile that is guaranteed to kick off the party from inside the big, dark Danish forests. The storytelling and the melodies are in focus when playing with various folk instruments and heavy guitar rhythms to create the perfect atmosphere. The stories are growled, hissed and sung, while the listeners/audience are taken on a multitude of adventures.
TROLD has its roots well planted in the Nordic soil, where inspiration is found from a multitude of fairy tales, mythology and legends. Giants, Gods, forest animals and the wonderful world of the sea are just some of the places TROLD takes listeners to.When the trolls are on stage, you can be sure that the party will start and the good mood will be kicked off.
TROLD are finally back, with the sequel to their debut album, titled “I Skovens Rige”. Since “Der Var Engang…” the Danish trolls have been brewing their next adventure in the caves, which is now about to begin. This time they have trudged even further into the deep forest and have written a collection of stories that all centers around the theme of the forest.
All songs in “I Skovens Rige” center in one way or another on the forest, and the listener is taken on adventures of many kinds. The atmosphere is intense and it goes from a furious hunt to a mournful farewell and on to folk celebration and singing together. The focus is on melodies and energy, while the folk aspect continues to compliment Trold’s melodic folk metal. True to tradition, it is full of surprises in the form of guest performances from Esse (ex-HateSphere) on death vocals, Lars Thiesgaard (a famous Danish actor) on characteristic speak and Laura Emilie Beck (ex-Huldre, Ællevild) on violin, among others.
On “I Skovens Rige”, Trold shows their strongest side and cements a solid place on the Danish and international metal scene.
Join Trold in the second chapter of their exciting adventure…
“I Skovens Rige” will be released on gatefold LP (green vinyl limited to 500), digipack CD (including 28-page booklet) and digital on March 14th, 2025 via Mighty Music.
