The Swedish black metal entity TROLLDOM was founded 2004 in the deep woods of Småland by guitarist/composer Swartadauþuz (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ, MUVITIUM, AZELISASSATH, GREVE). Four years after simultaneous twin debut albums “Av gudars ätt…” and “I nattens sken (Genom hemligheternas dunkel)“, Debemur Morti Productions now proudly announce the band’s upcoming third opus of deeply reverent second-wave black metal power – “Tronen” .
The offering features six tracks of addictive and darkly melodic Swedish Black Metal excellence, honouring the glory days between 1995 and 1998 when so many classics were released. All music was written by Swartadauþuz, while Lik (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ) penned the lyrics. The album was mixed and mastered in early 2025 by S.D.S. (MARTRÖÐ, AVERSIO HUMANITATIS) at The Empty Hall Studios. The aptly mesmeric cover artwork was created by Greallach (PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS).
Tracklist:
01. Tidens Evighet
02. Dräpt ur Dunkel
03. I Völvans Spår
04. Etter Falla…
05. Ulvarnas Kall
06. Dödens Släktled Stiga
TROLLDOM now present ‘Etter Falla…‘ as the first and only preview track from the forthcoming storm: a perfect synthesis of melodic prowess and grim force via stirring progressions, anthemic leads, evocative vocals and majestic synth. Listen below:
“Tronen” will be released on CD, vinyl (including an exclusive DMP edition) and digital on October 30th. Special merch – including a t-shirt, zip hoodie & patch – accompanies the release. Pre-orders are currently possible via Debemur Morti’s EU and US shops, and the album/merch will also be available at the label’s Bandcamp shop , with pre-orders going live on Bandcamp Friday, September 4th.
