Troll
"Neo-Satanic Supremacy"
(Napalm Records)

Following a deep winter slumber, Norwegian cult band Troll emerges from the blackened fjord mist. For the unsuspecting, Troll is the formation revolving around legendary frontman Nagash (ex Dimmu Borgir, The Kovenant) paying homage to the true Norwegian black metal sound. With expected infernal blastbeats and tortured demonic vocals, Troll also has a heavy keyboard element be it in subtle off melodic tones or cold haunting atmospherics creating a suave sound that is both captivating and yet accessible in tracks like 'Til Helvete Med Alt' or 'At the Gates of Hell'. As such "Neo-Satanic Supremacy" is a worthy combination of Nagash's musical experience to date and is a fitting testimony to himself and of course, his dark horned God.
