TROLLFEST release alternative music video for "Claiming The Walk Of Fame"

19-10-2026

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.

Watch the alternative version of “Claiming the Walk of Fame” below.

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!”

“Trollywood” will be released on November 6th, 2026 via Reaper Entertainment. 

With Trollywood, TrollfesT invite listeners into a bizarre world where trolls chase fame, Hollywood myths crumble under satire, and the entertainment industry devours itself—all wrapped in the band’s unmistakable blend of crushing metal, infectious folk melodies, massive choirs, and outrageous humour.

Marking a return to a heavier and more aggressive sound, Trollywood combines everything fans have come to love about TrollfesT while pushing their unique musical universe even further. Bigger riffs, epic arrangements, relentless energy, and the band’s trademark chaos make this their most ambitious album to date.

The first taste of the new record comes with “Day Drinking”, arriving on August 7th, 2026. Packed with irresistible hooks, festival-ready energy and TrollfesT’s unmistakable sense of fun, the track is the perfect soundtrack for the summer. Pre-Save the single here: https://lnk.to/TFDayDrinking
 

To celebrate the single’s release, “Day Drinking” will also be available as a strictly limited 7-inch yellow vinyl, exclusively at Summer Breeze Open Air. Limited to only 100 copies worldwide, the single features the exclusive, previously unreleased B-side “Fire Fine Firfisler”, making it a must-have collector’s item and the band’s first-ever physical single release.

More than twenty years into their career, TrollfesT continue to prove that there are no rules in their world—only bigger riffs, stranger ideas, more K.A.O.S. and even more reasons to raise a glass.

“Trollywood” will be released on November 6th, 2026 via Reaper Entertainment.
