TROLLFEST – release alternative music video
- Posted on 16-10-2026
Norwegian masters of True Norwegian Balkan Metal TrollfesT are back with another surprise! Following the release of their latest single “Claiming the Walk of Fame”, taken from their upcoming tenth studio album “Trollywood”, the band has now unveiled a brand-new alternative music video – this time created entirely without the use of Super Intelligence!
The original music video, created by TrollfesT’s own Mr. Seidel, sparked considerable discussion and criticism over its use of AI-generated visuals. Despite the significant amount of time, creativity and effort that went into its production, the video received mixed reactions from fans.
Never ones to shy away from controversy – or miss an opportunity for some good old-fashioned trollish humor – TrollfesT have now responded in their own unmistakable way: with an entirely new music video made using 100% human intelligence!
Rather than simply moving on, the band decided to embrace the discussion and offer fans another way to experience the song, proving once again that creativity, humor and a healthy dose of madness remain at the heart of everything TrollfesT do.
The band comments:
“While we understand everyone’s concern for our future and critic of our latest video, we decided to make a new one that contains no Super Intelligence. In fact, this was made with 100% Human Intelligence.
Grab a drink, turn up the volume and watch the official alternative music video for ‘Claiming the Walk of Fame’ now!”

Welcome to Trollywood!
Released as the second and final single from the upcoming album, “Claiming the Walk of Fame” takes listeners deeper into the bizarre world of Trollywood – a place where trolls chase fame and fortune, Hollywood mythology meets absurdity, and the entertainment industry’s obsession with success is pushed to ridiculous extremes.
Musically, the track showcases the heavier direction of the new album, combining thunderous drums, crushing riffs, catchy melodies and unexpected twists with the unmistakable controlled chaos that has defined TrollfesT for more than two decades.
With Trollywood, the band reconnects with the raw energy and metallic aggression of their earlier releases while taking their unique sound to even greater extremes.
