Trold

ABOUT

Deep in the dark forests of the North, where the trees whisper secrets and the forest floor hums with ancient legends, lives a noisy, merry, and devilish horde of trolls. They call themselves TROLD – and they don’t come sneaking around!

Forged from bark, blood, and booming tones, Trold is not just a band – it’s a living fairy tale. With instruments in their arms and laughter in their hearts, the Danish folk metal troupe brings to life stories of giants, gods, and forest spirits through powerful rhythms, enchanting melodies, and festive mischief. Their music ranges from heavy and dramatic to foolishly celebratory, always served with a twinkle in the eye and foam in the beard.

The band’s debut album, “Der Var Engang…”, marked in 2023 the beginning of their saga: a journey through Nordic myths and fairy tales, where flutes, mandolins, and accordions intertwine with roaring guitars and pounding drums. The record captured the spirit of the trolls: wild, melodic, and irresistibly fun, carrying listeners deep into the Danish woods for a true folk metal feast.

With their 2025 sophomore release, “I Skovens Rige” (“In the Kingdom of the Forest”), Trold ventured even further into their mythical homeland. Centered entirely around the forest, the album explores tales of furious hunts, mournful farewells, and grand celebrations beneath the trees. Featuring guest performances from Esse (ex-HateSphere), Lars Thiesgaard (renowned Danish actor), and Laura Emilie Beck (ex-Huldre, Ællevild), the record cemented Trold’s place on both the Danish and international folk metal scene.

Also in 2025, Trold captured their wildest and most legendary performance yet: a fiery and unforgettable set at Copenhell, Denmark’s biggest metal festival. Thousands of souls witnessed the trolls’ kingdom come alive under the summer sun, as confetti, flames, and trollish laughter filled the Hades stage. This magical day is now immortalized on their upcoming live release, “Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live at Copenhell ’25)”, due December 19th, 2025 via Mighty Music. Available digitally, on hand-numbered 180-gram fire-colored double LP (limited to 150 copies), and on digipack CD, the album stands as a roaring tribute to unity, celebration, and raw troll magic.

Every Trold concert is more than a show – it’s a forest festival, where audience and band become one. With thunder, fables, and unbridled joy, TROLD invites everyone to dance, laugh, and lose themselves in the tale.

They will make noise.

They will laugh.

And you will be carried away.
