Trollfest are a band from Norway that plays folk metal and this is a review of their 2021 ep "Happy Heroes" which will be released on March 19th by Napalm Records.
A very heavy and symphonic sound starts off the album along with some black metal screams a few seconds later. Folk instruments are also mixed in with the heavier sections of the songs while spoken word parts can also be heard at times as well as some clean pagan vocals also being added into some parts of the music.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. Female vocals can also be heard briefly along with the riffs also bringing in a lot of melody as well as some of the songs being their cover versions of Aqua, Bobby McFerrin and Pharrell Williams's tracks, at times the music also captures the raw energy of punk rock and when the music speeds up a small amount of blast beats can also be heard.
Trollfest plays a musical style that is mostyl rooted in folk metal on the original track along with their cover versions also mixing in that style with the different musical genres of the artists that they covered. the production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover trolls, drinking and humor themes.
In my opinion Trollfest are a very great sounding folk metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Happy heroes" and "Happy". 8 out of 10.
