APOCALYPSE ORCHESTRA is a Swedish metal band that masterfully blends medieval melodies with the crushing power of doom metal, creating an epic and atmospheric soundscape that transports listeners to a distant past. Formed in Gävle, Sweden 2013, the band is known for fusing traditional folk instruments, such as the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, and mandolas, with heavy, distorted guitars and thunderous drums.
With their debut album “The End Is Nigh” (2017), Apocalypse Orchestra quickly established themselves as a unique force in the metal scene. The album received critical acclaim for its innovative approach to storytelling, weaving together history, mythology, and existential themes. With their second release, ”A Plague upon Thee”, they unearth new stories from the past, with tales of walled in zealots, religion and science in medieval times, and the ransacking of hell!
Apocalypse Orchestra delivers memorable live shows where the band utilizes theatrical performances, sometimes actors and dancers, fire and projected animation, thus enhancing the experience, giving the show a feel of classic storytelling.

Deep in the dark Danish forest, where the trees whisper and the forest floor hums with legends, they live – the trolls. A noisy, merry and devilish horde that lives for song, partying and mischief. They call themselves TROLD – and they don’t come sneaking around! TROLD is not just a band – it’s a living fairy tale. Forged from bark, blood and booming tones, they rise from the earth with instruments in their arms and laughter in their hearts. It’s folk metal with horns on both foreheads and hands – epic tales served with a twinkle in their eyes and foam in their beards.
Every concert is a forest festival, where the audience doesn’t just watch, but becomes part of the story. The music ranges from the heavy and dramatic to the foolishly festive – and everything in between. TROLD is thunder, fables and celebration – a quirky fairy tale told in the language of the forest. They will make noise. They will laugh. And you will be carried away!
