Hailing from Oslo Trollfest is a folk metal outfit that formed in 2003. The band quickly developed a cross between black metal and viking metal and released its debut full-length record Willkommen Folk Tell Drekka Fest, in 2005. Though Trollfest released its second album Brakebein, in 2006, the band didn't play its first live appearance until 2007, when it landed a set at Germany's Barther Metal Openair festival. The band went on to headline several shows and festivals including the 2008 pagan metal gathering, Ragnarök Festival, and continues to release studio albums, including 2012's Brumblebassen.
