Beats: Trollfest – Brumblebassen review
Trollfest describe themselves as a True Norwegian Balkan Metal band, which, on listening is folk metal . I think they’re just taking the piss out of the utterly ridiculous sub-genres that bands seem to create these days which is completely cool with me because some of these new-fangled genre names are quite absurd. Hell, I can imagine the first time someone released a folk metal album they got quite a reaction! Anyway, Trollfest are a folk metal band that doesn’t take themselves too seriously. The lyrics of each album are centered around a troll universe and the new album continues this theme by introducing a new character whose name is that of the album title. Brumblebassen is the village beekeeper who gathers honey for the mead.
