Re-issue of Troll - Universal!
Troll was founded in 1992, when 14-year-old Stian Arnesen aka "Nagash" started writing music with Glaurung and Fafnir. When Glaurung and Fafnir left the project, Nagash continued Troll as a solo project and released the EP Trollstorm over Nidingjuv in 1995 and the album Drep De Kristne in 1996.
Following the release of Drep de kristne, Nagash spent more time working with other bands such as Dimmu Borgir and his other band Covenant which he started with Blackheart. Troll was now inactive until 2000. By that time Fafnir, now under the name Sinister Minister Twice, had rejoined the band. Other members were also added, making Troll a group and no longer a solo project. With Nagash concentrating on guitar and synth, Troll released The Last Predators in 2000 and Universal in 2001. Significant progress took place between Drep De Kristne and The Last Predators. Lyrical content was now mainly English, and the imagery revolved less around Satanic symbols and hate for Christians. The music became less grim and more symphonic over the years."
