Wollongong prog-folk-metal outfit TROLDHAUGEN have joined with Sydney-based label Bird’s Robe Records for the release of their second album ‘Obskure Anekdotez for Maniakal Massez.’
They have also announced an extensive European tour, supporting pirate-metal giants ALESTORM on their massive 9-country 24-date jaunt in September & October.
The band released a brief statement earlier today: “We’re super excited to be joining up with The Bird’s Robe Collective. We’ve long been fans of the diversity of bands on their roster and we can’t wait to start working together on great things in the future! Troldhaugen out!”
Bird’s Robe Records’ Director Mike Solo released the following statement “I’m stoked to announce that Troldhaugen are joining Bird’s Robe Records! This band of crazy dudes have been long-time supporters of Bird’s Robe and it was only recently I had the chance to tour with them whilst on the road with Toehider. Their brand of quirky, experimental and theatrical folk-metal is a perfect fit for our little family & the fact that they are stand-up guys makes it all the more sweet. Plus, we all share an affinity for Slimey Things, which makes them instantly likeable. Having heard a taste of the new stuff, I’m really looking forward to sharing their tunes with people around the world. Stay tuned for updates and make sure you see them on tour in Europe & Australia over the next few months!”
Troldhaugen recently completed a successful co-headlining tour with Melbourne’s TOEHIDER and have shared stages with GLORYHAMMER (UK), KORPIKLAANI (FIN) & FINNTROLL (FIN). New Australian shows will be announced soon.
‘Obzkure Anekdotez for Maniakal Massez’ is out August 29 through Bird’s Robe Records
