There are several bands who share the same name:
1) A Norwegian black metal band. It was founded in 1992, when 14-year-old Stian André Hinderson (Arnesen) aka Nagash (Lex Icon for The Kovenant) started writing music with Glaurung and Fafnir. When Glaurung and Fafnir left the project, Nagash continued Troll as a solo project and released Trollstorm over Nidingjuv in 1995 and Drep de Kristne in 1996. The latter album (the title means “Kill the Christians”) had an emphasis on anti-Christian lyrics.
Following the release of Drep de kristne, Nagash spent more time working with other bands such as Dimmu Borgir (bass giutar, back vocal), Astennu project Carpe Tenebrum (lead vocal) and his other band Covenant (now The Kovenant) that he started with Blackheart (Psy Coma). Troll was inactive until 2000. By that time Fafnir, now under the name Sinister Minister Twice, had rejoined Troll. Other members were also added, making Troll a group and no longer a solo project. With Nagash concentrating on guitar and synth, Troll released The Last Predators in 2000 and Universal in 2001.
Significant progress took place between Drep de kristne and Last Predators. Lyrical content was now mainly English, and the imagery revolved less around Satanic symbols and hate for Christians. The music became less grim and more symphonic and industrial over the years.
