ANCIENT FIRE Crossing through the veil Where the flesh and the heart will fail Chaos is at work Where joys behind afflictions lurk A shape in the moonlight A shadow in the dark A slumbering ancient fire Neither spirit nor spark Those who face the flame Never stay the same Servants of sorcery, servants of fire It flashes like ice, ice in the sun The ancient fire and the father are one A cult of eternal death True to its final breath Slaves embracing their chains Until nothing else remains A shape in the moonlight A shadow in the dark A slumbering ancient fire Neither spirit nor spark Those who face the flame Never stay the same Servants of sorcery, servants of fire It flashes like ice, ice in the sun The ancient fire and the father are one All too frail - Slender and pale Doomed to fail - The serpent eats its tail A shape in the moonlight A shadow in the dark A slumbering ancient fire Neither spirit nor spark Its skin is flame Through the veil it came Its heart is flame By now you know its name Those who face the flame Never stay the same Servants of sorcery, servants of fire Its flashes like ice, ice in the sun The ancient fire and the father are one

THE SOIL RUNS RED Satan is right Power and might Vengeance of the fallen one Saturn as the new black sun The eternal punishment Trapped in fire and ice Crossing dimensions Gathering grains of paradise The soil runs red! Ancient races Twisted places and wicked faces Desecration And eternal damnation The fear inspires The dead grow the fires Stretching and stretching Higher and higher The soil runs red! Make them crawl - Enslave them all Just black no white - There is no light Burned in fire - A funeral pyre Face the wall - Kill them all The soil runs red! Rotten fruit, barren soil Endless hunger, wasted toil A constant death, cold as marble Unholy spawn, a morbid marvel The soil runs red!

THE BEAST I am good-looking I am the one I’m foe of God I’m Satan’s own I am the wicked And the cruel I am the dark The right and true I am the beast I am malignant Foe of Jesus What nobody knows Is none of their business I am the one I shall be unleashed One with Satan I am the beast I am good-looking I am the one One with Satan I shall be unleashed I am the beast

HE WHO DWELLS I am fire, and I am flame I am legion, I have no name We are one, we are many The light of the Morningstar Dark day, bright night Bringer of the light I am darkness, and I am fear I am relentless, I am always here You are the ancient voice There is no hope there is no choice There are those who worship might And there are those who fear the night So many paths, so much desire I hold with those who favor fire I am death, and I am pain I am murder, and I am vain We are the tongue of fire We are the storm reaching higher

Troll plunges listeners into a realm where ancient spirits converge with blistering riffs and haunting, atmospheric melodies. Painting an immersive tapestry of cursed runes and Dark magic. These are your fears made flesh. This is Trolldom.»

𝕿𝖗𝖆𝖛𝖊𝖗𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖌 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖀𝖓𝖐𝖓𝖔𝖜𝖓
From the opening chords to the fading echoes, each track off "Trolldom" serves as an esoteric journey through the veils of the unknown. The album's artwork, adorned with intricate designs inspired by dark mythology, complements the relentless sonic assault that defines Troll's signature style.

The wonderfully imaginative cover art was made by Ksenia Hinderson, a multi talented creator, who also directed, shot and edited the music video for the single To The Shadows, took the band pictures and did the layout for the cover.

𝕽𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖎𝖓 𝕿𝖗𝖆𝖉𝖎𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓, 𝕱𝖔𝖗𝖌𝖊𝖉 𝖎𝖓 𝕿𝖎𝖒𝖊
Gathering inspiration from 70’s progressive rock, 80’s horror films, with a firm base in mid 90’s Symphonic Black Metal, a style Trolls founding members were instrumental in making the best selling genre of Black metal to date.

Trolldom was recorded at Evil Octopus Studio, over the last ten years. Troll has truly gone back to their roots on this album, just like on the first albums Nagash is again behind the drum kit wielding the sticks with infernal frenzy. Guitarist Tlaloc delivers high speed intensive shredding and evocative leads. Throughout the album Tlaloc truly reveals his mastery over the guitar, using a multitude of different styles and techniques in his playing. Bassist Sturt’s adventurous bass lines alongside the drums provides an entrancing backdrop to Tlaloc’s unrelenting guitars and Nagash’s unnerving and beguiling synth leads.

“Trolldom" is a visceral exploration, intertwining the aggressive with the haunting narratives of ancient folklore. The seven tracks on the album each capture the band's intense energy and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of the genre.

The band was formed way back in 92’ by Nagash, who would also go on to found Covenant later that same year. Making classic Black Metal albums as Drep De Kristne, In Times Before The light, Trollstorm Over Nidingjuv, and Nexus Polaris.

The word Trolldom does not have a perfect translation in English, you may say magic or witchcraft. The related word trolsk is maybe the word that most aptly describes the atmosphere in Trolls music. It is a word we use in Norwegian to describe dark bewitching moods you find in nature, in the twilight, before a thunderstorm or when the mist lays wispy and seeming to dance over a body of water. Times when you see shadows creep in the corner of your eye.

Lyrically Troll begs the listener to consider the great dark truths we face, in the ultimate destruction of our universe. The sure, final, and approaching death of all life as we know it.

This release solidifies Troll's position as pioneers in the Symphonic Black Metal realm, cementing their legacy and inviting listeners to embrace the darkness and the mystique that "Trolldom" offers.

Masterful use of acoustic passages and synth stuff. This is definitely my favorite black metal-dungeon synth kinda album I've found recently. Each track flows into the next so well, I cannot recommend it enough. Perri

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
