Troll Spell is a stoner/sludge metal band from Mirano near Venice, formed in 2025. Their enchanted name adds mythological charm to the heavy, fuzz-laden sludge they deliver from the Venetian mainland.
Troll Teeth is a doom and stoner metal band from Atlantic City, New Jersey, formed in 2014, delivering slow, heavy riffs rooted in the psychedelic underground tradition of the genre.
Trollcave is a funeral doom/death metal band from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2022. They deliver glacially paced, cavernous doom from the Catalan underground.
Trollech are pioneering figures in Czech pagan black metal, active from Pilsen since 1999 and among the first Czech bands to fuse black metal ferocity with Slavic pagan themes and folk elements. Over two and a half decades, they have built an extensive discography celebrating pre-Christian Bohemian spirituality and the natural world.
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.
Norwegian party-metal collective Trollfest have spent two decades crafting a gleefully chaotic fusion of folk metal, speed metal, and Balkan music performed with an infectious enthusiasm that makes their live shows feel like a medieval tavern brawl set to blast beats. Their use of invented languages, absurdist humor, and traditional instruments like accordion and banjo alongside extreme metal ferocity creates a sound utterly unlike anything else in the genre. Albums like 'Helluva' and 'Flamingo Overlord' demonstrate that Trollfest take their musicianship seriously even when their subject matter involves trolls, beer, and sheer pandemonium.
Trollfjell from Jesenice play pagan black metal that channels Norse and Slavic mythology through fierce, nature-worshipping compositions since 2020. Despite their Scandinavian-sounding name, they are firmly rooted in the Czech pagan metal tradition established by bands like Trollech.
Trollgrad is a Brooklyn-based folk and black metal band formed in 2023, weaving pagan-influenced melodic elements and folk instrumentation into a foundation of harsh black metal.
