Norwegian "Balkan metallers" TROLLFEST will release their new album, "En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral", on April 29 via NoiseArt Records. The CD will be made available as a limited-edition digipak with a bonus track. The title "En Kvest For Den Hellige Gral" can be roughly translated to "A Quest For The Holy Grail", and is a play on the word "quest" in both the accepted sense and in the sense of the Norwegian word "kvesting," which refers to the crushing of the crusaders — which is something the Trolls are doing throughout the album.

With their fourth album, Meredead, the 4-nation formation unleashes a tidal wave that will leave the music world breathless. Masquerade impressively showcases the endless possibilities inherent in the symphonic metal genre. More than ever before, folk instrumentation refines the album's varied sound. Liv Kristine's first-class vocals lead the way to her Norwegian homeland. Leaves' Eyes, along with a choir and an army of guest musicians, delivers top-notch entertainment. Leaves' Eyes has unequivocally reinvented itself. Refusing to be categorized, Leaves' Eyes dictates its own direction, and with Meredead ultimately achieves symphonic metal perfection.
