trollfest

Milan

Milan started out great with beautiful sunshine and a cooooolld beer! TrollBANK crashed his crash-cymbal, so it got killed. We had to find a musicstore faster than fast, so he could get a new and alive cymbal. We found what we were looking for and the rest of the tour was saved:) We started playing early this day because the venue was going to be a gay-club after the concert. This sucked more than just dick, because some fans of TrollfesT never got to see us, because the website stated that the concert started 22:00 instead of 19:15. Well, hopefully we will be back faster than fast. The audience was great and we had a blast on stage! 

Florence

Today we actually had some time to do tourist things so we went into the city centre and saw some statues, some churches and ate some  pizzas and pastas.  The food was really good even though it took the better part of a decade before it arrived.  After some more touristy stuff we went back to the venue and had a great time onstage.  Mr. Seidel thought he spotted some homemade trollfest t shirts in the crowd and sure enough, after the show we met some really nice people who had actually made some trollfest t shirts for us.  Unlike us, greedy t-shirt pushing euro hunting bastardos, they gave them to us for free.  Needless to say they are going up on the rehearsalroom wall as soon as we get home.  We had a great party with them outside our bus after the venue had closed, and that seriously pissed off our busdriver who missed his last half hour of sleep because we were screaming and yelling drinking songs. 

We had a blast in Spain and Portugal, but it still was good to be back in France. You guys were fantastic :-) 

We knew Toulun was gonna be good when hearing a horn blowing outside our bus signalling it was time for a toast. The horn sounded a lot of times before the concert started. When we went on stage all hell broke loose with constant crowdsurfing and stagediving. We had a blast in Toulun and as always in France the food was exellent.

Sevilla

The venue had the greates entrance ever! A giant ego ramp where we had to walk over the audience to get to the stage, hell yeah! Boosted our ego! The show was fucking great, met some awesome guys from MetalCamp, and all in all a great evening! After the show we had a good time drinking and listening to bands like Metallica, Pantera, etc. Hell yeah! Ugha bugha! Countrymusic rocks with the boots on!!!1111!

Valencia

We were all very excited to come to Valencia because we were told that the biggest aquarium in europe is there.  After the quickest set-up of the tour we all jumped into a taxi and drove off to the aquarium.  It was fucking awesome.  We had two hours there and we got to see most of the attractions.  We missed the dolphin show, but then again we probably spent thirty minutes just going back and forth in the underwater tunnel looking at the sharks.  The only let down was that we could not see the octopus, then again he is a true master of disguise.  The show was a lot of fun as well and the crowd was cool.  We realy hope to play in spain again as soon as possible.

Lisboa last nght was fucking cool!

One of the best crowds so far. We saw more of peoples feet than on any other concerts, because of half the audience was fucking crowdsurfing!

We needed that kick from the audience after a recordbreaking long soundcheck and exhausting day. Our hail goes to the people of Lisboa who gave us much love and a lot of beer and mead on stage. TrollfesT loves ya!!!

Yesterday we woke up to this beautiful view!

As it turned out, some of the people here like us as well! We're baffeled!

After playing some music and meeting some of the fine folks in this town, we had to have our normal porsion of god old fun. 

Drekka Dag led the way:

And off course, after some good partying you always need some:

here we are under the bridge by the harbour in Porto, eating food and drinking lovely Sangria!

cant wait to play in Lisbon tonight! :D

For the first time ever Trollfest played in Madrid and what better way to celebrate that than with a piece of fan made cake.  As you can see in this photo it was a delicious cake, and it tickled Manskows "granny-tastebuds" so ferociously he almost fell out of a chair.  After our show we hung around talking to some of the nice people who had come out to see us and we even met a guy who came all the way from Marokko.  Thats a   We certainly hope to come back to Madrid as soon as possible.

The following day we went to Santiago (also for the first time) and we actually had time to try ourselves at this tourist buisness.  We went to see a very old church, laughed at the smiling horses outside and lamented the poor people who were in the church actually worrying about this silly god shite those old perverts invented so long ago.  We even got yelled at for wearing a hat inside, which reminded me of good old George Carlins observation: Catholic men and Jewish women are forbidden to wear hats inside the church while Catholic women and Jewish men must wear hats inside the church.  Somebody is completely wrong here, could it be both of them???

After the show we joined some very fine folk and went to a local metal pub called TNT, it was a fuckin blast and we even got some flaming shots from the barkeeper so all the trolls were very happy. 

We arrived early here in  Barcelona and spent the day walking around the beach and enjoying ice cream and sun.

A really beautiful day and nice for us to finally feel some warm weather after a long winter home in Norway.

Wish we could stay here some days, but life on the road is hard, and tomorrow we have to enjoy the sun in Madrid instead.

A big thanks to all who showed up at our gig in Bilbao yesterday. You were a killer audience!

And we got killer food as well:

Now its time to prepare for the show, which means drink more beer. 

Enjoy some of todays pictures: 

Yo fellas! A little update from yesterdays show in Lyon. Where we once again played for a really energetic french audience. The circlepit keeps getting better and better each day. To bad we didnt have time to explore the city of Lyon more, but we will be back, hopefully next tour, for ever crazy circlepits and delicious wine.

Thanks for all who showed up, here is some picture for you to enjoy!

We certainly appritiate these ques before the shows!

We took so many pictures with our fans that we got envious and wanted a picture with us ourself as well.

You guys were amazing!

We're now in Toulouse in France and its the fifth day of the tour.

We're relaxing backstage with beers, waiting to go on stage.

So far the tour has been great! We started off at the PPM festival in Belgium were we saw the biggest circel-pit we've seen in a long time! And we even witnessed a guy crowdsurfing with a kilt, with his feet spread out in the air and cock and balls on display. Nice! 

Next up was Paaspop festival in Nederland.

We fittingly played at the Jack Daniels stage

We got all the booze we wanted:

...and the chocolate fountain:

So..., the most essential was in order. 

Next up was Lille in France and it was nice to be back!

It was a great show just as it was at Heidenfest! 

Thanks to the folks that went to see us again and to the people that came up to us and hang out after the show. 

Still in France, next up was Paris

A big thanks to everyone that qued up in the rain to catch the show

We were overwhelmed by the respons from the audience. You guys was crazier than expected!

We were all drained in sweat after and during the concert. 

A big thanks, we had an amazing time :-)

Yesterday we went back into the studio to finish some of the final things that's missing on the album. We had an amazing time at the Inferno kick-off on Saturday (thanks to everyone who came, you were awesome!) so yesterday we had finally recovered from the hangover and it was time to record again. The task for the day was some acoustic guitar, percussion and some creative vocal performance. We thought we would manage to finish the final bits during the evening, but when we were listening to the album someone came up with some new ideas again that made us all laugh really hard so of course we had to try it out too. No wonder it takes forever to finish the recording process!

Here's Mr. Seidel doing some acoustic guitar. He was so focused and concentrated that we needed a pop filter to shield out the heavy breathing

TrollBANK has full control on the technical stuff making everyone sound good.

Psychotroll trying out some groundbreaking vocal techniques

Cheers! TrollBANK, Mr. Seidel, Psychotroll and Manskow
