TROLLFEST have released a new single and lyric video for ‘Doomsday Christmas Song’.

Mr Seidel comments

No one wanted or needed it, but the folly of mankind has forced our hand! We present to you a catchy, timely Christmas track that captures the world’s rising anxieties and a sense of looming uncertainty. With doomsday seemingly closer, this song asks if we can still find the joy to celebrate Christmas and look forward to a brighter New Year. Perfectly positioned to be December’s earworm, it balances holiday cheer with a thought-provoking twist on the season’s spirit.

Listen to the single at this location.

TROLLFEST release their 2nd single & video from their new “20 Years in the wrong lane” compilation album. The AI generated video unleashes the Flamingo Overlord in true kaos.

TROLLFEST on “Smoldering Failure”
Step into the battleground of musical mayhem with this hidden gem from the Flamingo Overlord sessions! Picture Bob Venke, the Flamingo Overlord, orchestrating a clash of titans, pitting foes against each other in a spectacle of destruction. This track arrived fashionably late to the album party, bursting with such ferocity that the album couldn’t contain it!

Join the kaos as warlords compete eagerly for global supremacy, their clashes set to a symphony of folk harmonies and thundering metal riffs. With production so pristine, it’s like bathing in the purest sound waves, whisking you from the eerie depths of Norwegian forests to the exuberant chaos of Balkan folk. This isn’t just music – it’s a wild, unforgettable journey through realms of chaos and conquest!

Bottoms up! Flamingo Overlords TROLLFEST buy a round of drinks for everyone just days shy of the release of their new album, Flamingo Overlord, dropping this Friday via Napalm Records! “All Drinks on Me” is a raucous party anthem in the vein of Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys that only TROLLFEST could deliver, arriving in perfect time to celebrate the album’s release – featuring special guest Jonne Järvelä of the infamous KORPIKLAANI! No matter where TROLLFEST pop up, a whole lot of fun is bound to occur – Flamingo Overlord is one of the craziest, most eccentric, and multi-faceted releases of the year!
 
TROLLFEST Singer Jostein “Trollmannen” Austvik says:
„‘All Drinks On Me‘ is a party song to go along with those wonderful great parties that become the talk of the town once they go down. With the highest possible singalong factor this tune is guaranteed to make you stomp your foot and sing yourself hoarse while sharing the best of times with your finest friends.“

More flamboyant than Elton John, as intense as Slipknot, cooler than Limp Bizkit and boasting dance tunes that would make even ABBA proud —TROLLFEST has it all and more. In addition to their beloved trademarks, on Flamingo Overlord, TROLLFEST don’t shy away from adding new elements to their already expansive soundscape.
 
Catchy, groovy and threatening to have you seeing Flamingos wherever you walk in life, TROLLFEST’s Flamingo Secret Agents will soon be everywhere.

Flamingo Overlord begins with the insanely catchy “Dance Like A Pink Flamingo” – the unforgettable track made world-famous with the band’s zany performance at Eurovision qualifier Melodi Grand Prix earlier this year – clearing the way for the bar anthem “All Drinks On Me”, which keeps the energy and drinks flowing before venturing into “Twenty Miles an Hour”. The track continues the party with a groovy funk flavoured sound, featuring a rap and saxophone solo that will leave listeners going bonkers! “Flamingo Libre” will soon whisk you away and have you dreaming of tropical drinks and magical nights, while “Pina Colada” stands as a much-needed summer anthem best suited for blasting while convertible cruising. Flamingo Overlord closes with the mysterious “Bob Venke”, telling the unlikely story of the mighty Flamingo Overlord’s quest for world domination.

TROLLFEST’s flamingo madness is taken to another level today with the release of their new single “Flamingo Libre”! If you were delivered a mysterious package to your door – by a Flamingo of course – would you open it? If there was an ominous drink in that package – would you take a sip, just to see what it tastes like? If your answer to both of those questions is “yes”, then you are in for a wild, wild ride with “Flamingo Libre”!

“Flamingo Libre” is a psychedelic flamingo party, accompanied by deep saxophone, shrill organs and a catchy chorus. With crystal clear mixing and mastering by Jacob Hansen (Hansen Studios), TROLLFEST’s multi-faceted, colorful Flamingo Overlord comes to life on this track!

TROLLFEST singer Jostein “Trollmannen” Austvik on “Flamingo Libre”:
“Flamingo libre is a fairly unknown substance favored by dictators and mad people alike. No one knows exactly what it is or what it does, but a lot of people have radically changed their outlook on life after contact with it. The song flamingo libre is, to date, the most in depth study of this concoction we have. It is by no means complete, so caution is advised whenever approaching any and all things looking like or otherwise connected to this elixir.

If Michael Jackson had gotten all his plastic surgery to make concrete balls instead, this would have been his biggest hit.”

At the time of TROLLFEST’s last official transmission, we alerted you of their eccentric flamboyance and grooviness. This new alert is being dispatched to signal the arrival of a third, straight up pop single from TROLLFEST, no longer high-classified and officially out to entertain with good, positive vibes!

TROLLFEST’s new single, “Piña Colada”, is the latest offering cut from the most colorful, outlandish and adventurous album of 2022, Flamingo Overlord, to be released via Napalm Records on May 27, 2022. The track is a much-needed, energetic anthem with metallic reggae flavor, and takes the stance that sometimes you just want that fruity drink, and no other libation will do! The video perfectly captures the mood of knowing that your best friend is on a tropical island and you are stuck at your same old bar in the middle of winter, covering all genres of entertainment from happy humor to horror.

Singer Jostein “Trollmannen” Austvik about the “Piña Colada” music video:
“Friends are important, that is why we have made a video to remind everyone how horribly wrong things can go when you are alone. Also, don’t be a picky fuzzmaker and pester your bartender!”

Eirik “TrollBANK“ Renton (bouzouki, vocals & DJ) adds:
“Ever been to a bar and the bartender refuses to give you what you ordered? Yups, we too – that what’s this video is all about, and some other things also.”

“Piña Colada” proves once again that TROLLFEST has it all and more! Catchy, groovy and threatening to have you seeing Flamingos wherever you walk in life, TROLLFEST’s Flamingo Secret Agents will soon be everywhere.

In addition to their beloved trademarks, on Flamingo Overlord, TROLLFEST don’t shy away from adding new elements to their already expansive soundscape.
