Troller is an Austin, Texas trio formed around 2012 whose music fuses darkwave, post-punk, industrial textures, and shoegaze into a brooding, synth-driven sound. Vocalist and bassist Amber Star-Goers anchors the band's atmospheric crawl, which draws favorable comparisons to Bauhaus, Clan of Xymox, and early Cocteau Twins. Their two albums — a self-titled debut (2012) and Graphic (2016) — were released on Relapse Records.
Trollfat is a California-based blackened heavy metal act formed in 2024, fusing the raw aggression of black metal with the driving, riff-forward energy of traditional heavy metal.
