News : Troldhaugen’s “Obzkure Anekdotez For Maniakal Massez” is out in the wild

By on August 27, 2014

If you’re yet to discover Wollongong’s Troldhaugen then you have been missing out on one of the most bizarrely entertaining bands in the country. After starting as a folk metal band (as you’ll have guessed from the name) a few years back, their sound has expanded wildly into some sort of avant-garde cabaret metal thing.

The guys raised a well deserved $6000ish through Pozible for the album, with one of the rewards claimed being vocalist Raventusk learning and filming the dance from Beyonce‘s “Single Ladies” video clip…

Anyway, the album is out today and it’s a crazy ride. Adding to the overall insanity are guests Gareth Hoyle (ex-Troldhaugen), Evan Anderson Berry (Wilderun), Michael Mills (Toehider), Mara Lazzarotto Davis (ex-Troldhaugen), Sorrow (Germ, ex-Austere) and Katie Wright.

The whole thing is streaming and purchasable over on Bandcamp. September will see them jet overseas to tour Europe alongside Alestorm and Brainstorm, dates here.
