Gwydion @ Dark Troll

Only recently they made a new pact with our friends from TrollZorn. They are not sure yet when the new album will be released, but one thing is for sure - they will definitely present something new from the upcoming album at our beloved castle ruin!
We are already very happy to welcome the Portuguese band Gwydion in the line up.
Here is a track from the current album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMXuhwyzNyM&ab_channel=ArtGatesRecords

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

Thorondir @ Dark Troll

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.

But today it's time again and we are happy to announce the Danish Viking Metal band par excellence.
Vanir was formed in 2009 and have released six albums so far.
The Vikings are unstoppable and plan to release their new album in 2024, although their current album was released only a year ago.

Stay realistic and please choose only a band of our main genres (Black, Pagan, Folk, Celtic, Viking). Also, please only one band per person. We only count the first band mentioned!
Wishes please under the original Facebook post!
We are already working hard to offer you a top-class line-up once again.
The next band announcements are already in the pipe line.

Finsterforst @ Dark Troll

Besides, it's a known fact that seeing each other again is always a pleasure. Old acquaintances and long-time companions are always welcome guests.
The Black Forest Metallers Finsterforst have been active since 2004 and will release their newest EP "Jenseits" this summer, which contains a 39-minute song. More epic than ever and for the first time on vinyl!
At the castle ruin, they are coming up with a very special show especially for their twentieth anniversary.
Join us and welcome these crazy dudes to the Dark Troll 2024 line up!
Here is a song from their epic "Zerfall": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QQeP2dlZRA&ab_channel=NapalmRecords
