With the imminent release of their fourth full length album En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral, self-styled true Norwegian Balkan metallers TROLLFEST have decided to celebrate the occasion by uploading a series of weekly videos on YouTube in the five week run up to the April 29 release of the album on NoiseArt Records. The first week’s video is a Tour Diary shot during the band’s German tour with PANTHEON I and FINSTERFORST in December of last year and can be seen on Trollfest’s YouTube channel here. A new video will follow every Friday, with the last one appearing on the April 22nd.

In addition, the band is inviting fans who have videos of themselves playing/performing Trollfest songs to post their videos on the band’s Facebook page and the best video will be awarded some Trollfest prizes, with the winner being announced on the 30th April. Commenting on the competition the band said: “We noticed quite a few videos of people playing Trollfest tracks appearing on YouTube and really enjoyed them, so we thought it would be a good idea to mark the release of En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral with a little competition. As a band we love the interaction with fans and the competitions we have are a way of us all having fun together”.

The winner will be announced on the April 30th.

Aside from signing with NoiseArt Records this year, Trollfest, whose line up is composed of members of bands such as URGEHAL, PANTHEON I, UNTIME, MELCH, SARKOM, HALLUCINATIONS and POWERSWORD, also signed a world-wide booking deal with Rock The Nation, which will see the band increasing its live appearances.
