Detailed Description
Troll's debut EP, Trollstorm over Nidingjuv, stands as a potent example of mid-'90s Norwegian black metal. Released in 1995, this raw and unapologetic offering captures the essence of a young, fiercely driven Nagash, who helmed the project at just 14 years old. Stripped of the later symphonic embellishments that came to define much of the genre, Trollstorm over Nidingjuv thrives on its minimalist approach, where the atmosphere is conjured purely through icy riffs and relentless pacing.

Opening with "Over Daudens Kolde Mark," the EP wastes no time plunging into the cold, unforgiving soundscape that defines much of Norwegian black metal. The guitar work here is sharp and direct, delivering a sound that is as aggressive as it is captivating. Tracks like "I et Hedensk Land" channel the raw spirit of Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger, with its fast, repetitive riffs that work in perfect harmony with Nagash’s furious, hateful vocal delivery.

What sets this EP apart is its ability to create a deeply atmospheric experience without the use of keyboards—save for a brief intro. The music leans on its powerful riffing and dynamic shifts between mid-tempo and faster sections, crafting an icy, misanthropic tone that immerses the listener completely. The second track, "Trollstorm over Nidingjuv," exemplifies this with its slower, more majestic pacing, giving the EP a varied yet cohesive flow.

Though the songwriting may appear simple on the surface, the rawness of its execution is precisely what makes Trollstorm over Nidingjuv so effective. It’s a no-frills approach to black metal, harking back to a time when atmosphere and sincerity were paramount. Despite its somewhat overlooked status, this EP remains a hidden gem for fans of the era, offering an unpolished yet captivating slice of Norwegian black metal history.
