Norwegian black metallers TROLL, whose fourth full-length album Neo-Satanic Supremacy was released on Napalm Records at the start of this year, have decided to let their fans choose a track from the album to be used for the band’s next video. The video will be made by Tenners Gnissel, the company that made the 'Neo-Satanic' video teaser for the new album, which shows Troll performing live at the 2009 Inferno Festival.

Neo-Satanic Supremacy heralds a return to the more traditional atmospheric Norwegian black metal of the band’s earlier Drep De Kristne, which is regarded as one of the classic black metal releases. The exact subject matter of the video won’t be decided until the track has been chosen, and nine out of the ten tracks on Neo-Satanic Supremacy are in the running, with the title track itself being excluded as it is already on a previous video. Fans will have until the end of May to be able to vote for their favourite track either by sending a message through the band’s MySpace page, or by sending their choice of track via email to killthechristians@gmail.com. Tracklisting of Neo-Satanic Supremacy as follows:

'Til Helvete Med Alt'

'Alt For Satan'

'Gå Til Krig'

'Burn The Witch'

'Mørkets Skoger'

'Hvor Tåken Ligger Så Trist Og Grå'

'Neo-Satanic Supremacy' (not eligible for the video choice)

'At The Gates Of Hell'

'Smertens Rike'

'The Age of Satan'

Formed in 1992 by Magash (THE KOVENTANT, ex-DIMMU BORGIR), Troll released three full length albums and an EP between 1995 and 2001, and then remained largely dormant until 2007 when bassist Vold (BLODSPOR) persuaded NAGASH and drummer Ygg (WHIP) to reform the band. Tlaloc (MAKT, FATAL DEMEANOUR) and Exilis were added to the line up in 2008 on guitars and keyboards respectively. 2009 saw Troll begin work on the new album and sign with Nuclear Blast Records; whilst early 2010 saw the band sign with UK based manager Patricia Thomas. Plans for a tour later in the year are being considered.

Commenting on the decision to involve the fans, front man Nagash said: “Troll has been around a long time, and we were very encouraged to find that most of the fans had remained loyal during our hiatus. Their response to “Neo-Satanic Supremacy” was overwhelmingly positive, as it was to the video we released of the title track. When we were discussing the possibility of making a video for another track from the album it, occurred to us to involve those people who have supported us for so long, as well all the new fans that are discovering the band for the first time. It’s going to be a fascinating experience finding out which track from the album is the most popular. We all have our own theories, and now we can put them to the test”.
