Norway’s TROLLFEST have begun recording their sixth full-length album, starting with the drum tracks, and the ever increasing army of fans of the band can expect to see a few changes.

As the band explained: “We will record 11 metal tracks and we also have a couple of acoustic songs up our sleeves, but at this stage obviously we are not sure which ones will make it onto the album. We will, however, be taking a slightly different musical direction with this album. The sound will undoubtedly be Trollfest, but it will vary from our last two releases. We will also be using a different studio this time. We have been more than happy with the Strand Studio who did an amazing job on En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral and Brumlebassen, but we just wanted to get a different sound to match our new musical direction so we decided to use Endre Kirkesola’s Dub Studio in Oslo”.

The album will be released on NoiseArt Records. Updates and photos from the recording sessions will be posted along the way.

Trollfest recently released a track-by-track video breakdown of their latest release, A Decade Of Drekkadence, which is an exclusive, limited edition, 10th anniversary picture disc containing new and unreleased material spanning the band's entire career.

Performing the voice-over on the video are Eric and Mark Dow from American folk metlallers HELSOT, who were on the recent PaganFest America tour alongside Trollfest.

The 16-track album, A Decade Of Drekkadence, includes a completely new song, three covers, including songs from TOM WAITS and Britney Spears, two b-sides and the band’s 2004 demo which has never previously been released, and which has been long-sought after by Trollfest fans. Also included are re-recordings of acoustic versions of three of Trollfest’s signature songs which the band performed during a special acoustic set at MetalCamp 2012. Each picture disc includes an email address that purchasers can contact to receive an MP3 download of A Decade Of Drekkadence.
