Trolldom present album details and share first song ‘Etter Falla…’

The Swedish Black Metal band TROLLDOM was founded 2004 in the deep woods of Småland by guitarist/composer Swartadauþuz (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ, MUVITIUM, AZELISASSATH, GREVE). Four years after simultaneous twin debut albums “Av gudars ätt…” and “I nattens sken (Genom hemligheternas dunkel)“, we can now announce an incoming third opus of deeply reverent second-wave Black Metal power.

“Tronen” features six tracks of addictive and darkly melodic Swedish Black Metal excellence, honouring the glory days between 1995 and 1998 when so many classics were released.

Tracklist:

01. Tidens Evighet
02. Dräpt ur Dunkel
03. I Völvans Spår
04. Etter Falla…
05. Ulvarnas Kall
06. Dödens Släktled Stiga

“Tronen” was composed October 2023 and recorded 2023-2024 by Swartadauþuz (guitars and keyboards) with the following session members:

Thorn – vocals
Graf Nuzawandils (MARTRÖÐ) – keyboards
Sortilege – bass
K. Paradis (BELPHEGOR) – drums

All music was written by Swartadauþuz, while Lik (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ) penned the lyrics. The album was mixed and mastered in early 2025 by S.D.S. (AVERSIO HUMANITATIS) at The Empty Hall Studios.

The aptly mesmeric cover artwork was created by Greallach (PESTILENTIAL SHADOWS).

“Tronen” will be released on CD, vinyl (including an exclusive DMP edition) and digital on October 30th. Special merch – including a t-shirt, zip hoodie & patch – accompanies the release. Pre-orders are currently possible via DMP’s EU and US shops, and the album/merch are also be available at DMP’s Bandcamp shop.

TROLLDOM now present ‘Etter Falla…‘ as the first and only preview track from the forthcoming storm: a perfect synthesis of melodic prowess and grim force via stirring progressions, anthemic leads, evocative vocals and majestic synth.

The classicistic Swedish Black Metal band TROLLDOM was founded in 2004 by guitarist, composer and Ancient Records/Mysticism Productions owner Swartadauþuz (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ, MUVITIUM, AZELISASSATH, GREVE, BALWEZO WESTIJIZ etc).

In 2016 Lik (BEKËTH NEXËHMÜ) joined as the project’s lyricist to further-awaken and channel inner spiritual revelations. First demo, “Av gudablod röd…“, was given a limited release that same year by Greek label Arcane Angels.

After a sequence of delays, the band’s twin debut albums “I Nattens Sken (Genom Hemligheternas Dunkel)” and “Av Gudars Ätt…“, arrived simultaneously in 2022 via Iron Bonehead Productions. Deep expressions of ’90s second-wave Black Metal veneration, both records found TROLLDOM evolving the form: tapping into the otherworldly sense of melancholy typical of Swartadauþuz, propelled by a storming drum session from the esteemed K. Paradis (BELPHEGOR, MELECHESH).

Upcoming third album “Tronen” was written and recorded between 2023-2024, receiving a mix and master from Simón Da Silva (CANCER, MARTRÖÐ, SELBST) at the Empty Hall Studio in early 2025. Again, featuring drums by K. Paradis, “Tronen” continues TROLLDOM‘s quest to break the spirit from false bounds of material existence via symphonic and reverent Black Metal power. The cover artwork was painted by Greallach based on ideas by the band, and depicts rebirth through the gateway of death.

“Tronen” will be released by Debemur Morti Productions in late 2026.
