Patricia Thomas Management has issued the following:

With a catalogue of releases that includes five full-length albums and exuberant live performances that have earned them an ever increasing and dedicated fan base throughout the world, TROLLFEST, the inventors of True Norwegian Balkan Metal are set to celebrate their 10thAnniversary with the release of a limited edition 12” picture vinyl.

Trollfest2013

The band has been busy in the studio preparing the 16 track album, to be named “A Decade Of Drekkadence”, which will include a completely new song, three covers, 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. According to the band, they had such a great time performing a special acoustic set at MetalCamp that they couldn’t resist adding them to their Anniversary release.

Swedish Cartoonist Jonas Darnell and designer Terje Johnsen, who have worked with TROLLFEST for a long time, will produce the artwork for the Picture Disc. It was Darnell who created the iconic Iron Duck from the 2009 album “Villanden”. The striking and humorous depiction of the TROLLFEST universe which Darnell and Johnsen create is inhabited by a crazy cast of Trolls who feature in the band’s songs, and who each have their own individual characters and roles, has become an integral part of the band, and one much-loved by fans.

“A Decade Of Drekkadence” will go into production in February, and is expected to be released in time for the band’s first North American tour in March, when they will hit the road with ENISFERUM, TYR, HEIDEVOLK and HELSOTT for the Paganfest America tour. Anyone wishing to pre-order the limited edition picture disc may do so already from the TROLLFEST webshop.

Word came down on November 12th that Children Of Bodom have cancelled their scheduled appearance at the Tuska Open Air 2013, scheduled for June 28th – 30th in Helsinki, Finland. Bassist Henkka T. Blacksmith issued the following statement:

“We’ve been waiting to play Tuska for some years now. It is our home festival after all. Unfortunately this year we have to sacrifice a couple of festivals in Europe in order to be able to be part of a big tour in USA. These are not easy nor nice decisions. We only can hope we can do Tuska in the near future again. Please stay tuned for our schedules for summer 2013. Fortunately we are able to play shows in Europe as well. Looking forward!”
