Antrisch @ Dark Troll

The band from Bavaria was originally planned as a studio project, but after their music was so well received, they decided to bring their lyrically and musically exceptional concepts to the stage! We are very happy and proud to announce that they will play their first Open Air at our castle ruin!
Musically, each release is about a different expedition and the logo also changes in detail. The first release was about a mountaineering drama, the second one about the expedition of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror of the last missing part of the Northwest Passage.
Further expeditions are planned.
Here is a song of Expedition II: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUOy8idWfxw&ab_channel=BlackMetalPromotion

In unseren Adern fließt Berserkerwut, Drachenblut
Der Schlachtengesang aus unserer Väter Hallen erklang!
Pagan as it's best. We are happy that THORONDIR from Bavaria will finally be with us again after 2017.
The band, founded in 2007, has released three albums so far, which show us that the pagan sounds have by no means dried up yet.
Here is the song we teased at the beginning, which comes from the current album "Des Wandrers Mär": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Ya-uUxevM&ab_channel=TrollZornRecords

Tryglav @ Dark Troll

The Croatian solo project around Boris Behara was founded in 2018 because he wanted to realise his own musical visions. Till now he has already released two albums, which have already been well received.
Thematically, it's all about horror stories, murder and death.
We are really looking forward to Tryglav and hope you celebrate the band just as much as we do!
Here is the title track of the album "The Ritual": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN-2BOSED1w&ab_channel=BorisT.

Midnight Odyssey @ Dark Troll

Next year's Men's Day will be on May 9th, so the Dark Troll will take place from May 9th to 11th.
Those who have at this year's Dark Troll will have already spotted the first five bands. We are very honored to be able to start directly with an absolute highlight.
Midnight Odyssey from Australia will play their very first show in Germany at Dark Troll.
In 2007 Dis Pater founded the solo project which is influenced from a wide range of music, from black metal, doom metal, neo-classical and dark ambient music, electronic music, classical/early music and folk. Mixed with themes of cosmic destruction, xenoarchaeology, and classical mythology, Midnight Odyssey has become a vessel that explores the outer reaches of humanity’s obsessions with space and death.
Here is a song of their first album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4om9u8byZjY&ab_channel=MidnightOdyssey-Topic
