German pressed music cassette. Black cassette with white text. Limited 300 numbered copies

Troll’s first demo ‘Trollstorm Over Nidingjuv’ offers straight no-nonsense black metal. Although originally released as a demo, these tracks were recorded at a professional recording studio, and the result is a clear sound that isn’t synthetic or overproduced. The guitar-sound retains enough rawness needed for this kind of metal. The songwriting is rather simple, but effective. The riffs are cold, the drums and vocals are typical (in a good sense) for mid-nineties Black Metal. The speed of the music varies between mid-tempo and fast, only the second track is interrupted by a few acoustic guitar-parts. In sharp contrast to Troll’s (very good) debut album ‘Drep de kristne’, no keyboards are used on this release (except for the intro). ‘Trollstorm over Nidingjuv’ might not be a classic of the genre and its music was rather unoriginal even when it got released back in 1995, but no matter what questionable music Nagash has later created with Troll and his other bands and projects, ‘Trollstorm over Nidingjuv’ offers sincere Black Metal. It is definitely worth listening to and can be recommended to everyone interested in this kind of music.
