Band of the week 28/2025
Origin: Denmark
Genre: Folk Metal
Hier geht’s zur deutschen Version.
The band about itself:
Deep in the dark forest, where the trees whisper and the forest floor hums with legends, they live – the trolls. A noisy, merry and devilish horde that lives for song, partying and mischief. They call themselves TROLD – and they don’t come sneaking around!
TROLD is not just a band – it’s a living fairy tale. Forged from bark, blood and booming tones, they rise from the earth with instruments in their arms and laughter in their hearts. It’s folk metal with horns on both foreheads and hands – epic tales served with a twinkle in their eyes and foam in their beards.
TROLD is thunder, fables and celebration – a quirky fairy tale told in the language of the forest.
They will make noise. They will laugh. And you will be carried away!
Editorial commentary:
The details of how I came to discover Trold would be quite the long story. However, it definitely was a lucky coincidence that I was visiting a friend, we were driving home from a concert together and Trolds music just happened to be playing in the car! My ears pricked up immediately and my mission was clear: I wanted to see this band live! Too bad that there was no German date on their agenda so far.
But after a while, everything fell into place, thanks to a wonderful person called Frederik, the organizer of the Mahlstrom Open Air. Trold were finally going to play their first German gig!
What can I say, it was worth the wait! Trold came, brought the Danish shitty weather with them and turned the infield into a troll house!
With a lot of fun and enthusiasm, many nice details on stage (e.g. the shrunken heads on singer Allan’s belt) and sophisticated songs, it was easy for them to captivate the crowd, who responded very favourably and continued dancing in front of the stage despite the rain. The trolls also visibly enjoyed what was going on and kept coming out from under the stage roof. These lively Danes should really be on your radar! Got curious? Then check out Trold and give them a Like!
Hopefully, Trold won’t take so long to visit us again, and we’ll be able to enjoy this party again soon!
And be sure to check out the homepage and the store, maybe you’d like an original Trold G-string thong? NAAAA?!? Of course, you can also find all kinds of information about the songs there, including the lyrics. I’m also a big fan of all the cute artwork! As you can see, there’s a lot to discover there.
