Norwegian folk metal institution TROLLFEST has inked a worldwide deal with German metal label Reaper Entertainment. The band joins a growing roster and promises new music and creative highlights in the near future.Norwegian folk metal veterans TROLLFEST have announced a new chapter in their storied career, signing a worldwide recording deal with German metal label Reaper Entertainment. The agreement covers future releases and sees the band officially join the expanding Reaper family.
Since their formation, TROLLFEST have carved out a truly singular niche in the global metal landscape, blending folk metal with absurdist humor and an almost theatrical sense of chaos. Known for their explosive live performances and a devoted international fanbase, the band has released a string of acclaimed albums — from early efforts such as „Brakebein“ and „Villanden“ through to more recent records including „Norwegian Fairytales,“ „Happy Heroes,“ and 2022’s „Flamingo Overlord“ — that have cemented their reputation as one of the genre’s most inventive and entertaining acts.
The band commented on the signing with characteristic flair, promising to spread „true Norwegian Balkan metal madness“ across the globe under the new partnership. Reaper Entertainment’s Flori and Greg expressed equal enthusiasm, citing TROLLFEST’s unique energy, creativity, and legendary live shows as key reasons for welcoming the band to the label.
Further details regarding upcoming TROLLFEST releases on Reaper Entertainment are expected to be announced soon. In the meantime, the band is scheduled to perform at Copenhell in Copenhagen on 24 June and at Summer Breeze in Dinkelsbühl, Germany, on 13 August.
