Trold | Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live At Copenhell '25) | Mighty Music


Release Date: 19 December 2025
Format: Digital/LP/ CD
Genre: Folk Metal
Country: Denmark

Trold have grown fast in the Nordic folk metal scene, and their roots run deep in a world of myths, wild humor, and loud celebration. Formed in Denmark, the band has spent the last years turning every stage into something closer to a rowdy forest gathering, where shouts, laughter, and heavy riffs mix together in a thick haze. Their studio releases built the foundation, but their reputation truly exploded through live shows where the line between band and crowd almost disappears. With “Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live At Copenhell '25)”, they trap that atmosphere inside a release that carries the heat, noise, and madness of that famous afternoon at Copenhell.

The album opens its gates with the crowd roaring like a summoned beast, and Trold jumps right in with a performance that radiates energy from start to finish. The guitars cut across the air in a bright, lively way, the drums push everything forward with marching force, and Allan Madsen’s vocals are wild and earthy in the best possible manner. It is the kind of performance where the band sound locked in with the audience, building a momentum that stays strong through the entire show. You can almost picture the dust, the raised fists, and the sun shining on bodies that refuse to stand still. The festival magic is captured clearly, without getting messy or losing shape.


Songs like “Med Høtyv Og Fakkel”, “Troldmanden” and “Heksen” come across with the same playful aggression that made the studio versions so popular. Live, they have more bite, more sweat, and more chaos. Trold uses their folk elements as a spark rather than a decoration, pushing rhythms that invite movement, chanting, and loud voices from the crowd. When they dive into longer moments like “Den Gamle Sump (Medley)”, the performance grows even bigger and more theatrical in a fun, noisy way, the sort of thing that makes strangers throw arms around each other. The whole album keeps that spirit alive, staying warm, fast, and festive without losing clarity.

As a whole, “Til Gilde Under Ulven (Live At Copenhell '25)” works like a bottled storm, chaotic in flavor but steady in how it hits. It is loud, colorful, and proud of its roots, the kind of live release that reminds you why folk metal thrives on stages where sun and sweat mix together. Trold sounds hungry, joyful, and absolutely in their element. It is easy to imagine fans returning to this release whenever they want that Copenhell afternoon back, even long after the festival dust has settled.

Score: 7.5
