Trollfest is an exuberant band that stands at the crossroads of folk, metal, and unadulterated fun, proudly hailing from Oslo, Norway. Formed in 2004, the group has carved out a niche for itself through its distinctive brand of "True Norwegian Balkan Metal," fusing the raw energy of extreme metal with traditional Eastern European music, all with their tongues planted firmly in cheek. The members of Trollfest are known for their raucous live performances, dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect their vibrant musical personality, and for their lyrics written in Trollspråk, a whimsical language of their own making that mixes Norwegian with German.
Over the years, Trollfest has gained a loyal following by creating an immersive world filled with myth, storytelling, and irreverent humor captured in their music and live shows. Their eccentric and captivating sound is on full display in their most recent releases such as "Flamingo Overlord," "All Drinks on Me," and the party-ready track, "Flamingo Libre." With their 2021 EP "Happy Heroes," they showcased a lighter, more playful side, while "Norwegian Fairytales," a full-length album from 2019, dives deep into the lore and folk tales of their homeland, all delivered with the high-speed intensity and musical proficiency that their fans have come to love. Whether they're retelling traditional stories or inviting the audience to join a tipsy sing-along, Trollfest's inventive spirit and bold fusion of genres make them a unique treasure in the world of metal and folk music.
