There currently are very few
albums that stand out in terms of originality and avoid the "Been there-done
that" moniker that is present within the world of music. But with
Trollheim's Grott debut album Bizarre Troll Technology there is finally an
album that is as unique as it is truly excellent. Never straying far from the
concept of black metal this band shows an incredible amount of range and
proves that they are capable of anything. Most of the album reaches speeds
somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 BPM but within the fold lies traces of
atmospheric synth oriented music with almost operatic vocals laid over the
top. Trollheim’s Grotts music even obtains the quality of a third dimension as
every millimeter of disc space is covered with music. There is also a certain
catchiness and smoothness to the tracks rhythm that can be credited to the
equal contribution of guitar, synth and drums. Every instrument is given its
time to shine but not all in unison. Some of the tracks are driven by the
chunky guitar work that gives the album an overall heaviness. Some tracks are
synth driven giving the album it's more ambient and melodic feeling. One
thing for certain is that "The Troll Syndicate" know their instruments well
and they are not afraid to tear away at them with a devious ferocity. Even the
title of the album fits perfectly, as one look at the lyrical content will
explain how bizarre these trolls can be.
