The band that can only be described as True Norwegian Balkan Metal, Trollfest announce their new EP Happy Heroes, alongside a release of the title track. The track is accompanied by a disturbing and hilarious animated music video. If Marvel thought it would be great to introduce Happy Tree Friends into the mix, then you get the idea!
The video takes us on the quest of 3 of Earth’s mightiest heroes whilst they pull off a series of daring and dangerous quests to rescue the fair citizens from peril. However, if you have seen the video, you know that is all bollocks. Our fearsome heroes completely ruin everyones day. If ruining your day means getting sliced in half or impaled on a tree branch. Well we can’t all be good at our job I suppose.
Accompanied by some chirpy saxophones and delicious metal riffage. A jolly ol’ party it be. The Happy Heroes EP presents the aforementioned title track, plus three re-energised cover songs. Balkan and folk metal re-imaginings of the world-famous Happy by Pharrell Williams. Alongside quite possibly the cheeriest song known to man, the newly released Don’t Worry Be Happy by Bobby McFerrin. The Aqua hit Cartoon Heroes round things off.
Each revitalized track keeps its original catchiness and will have you humming in K.A.O.S!
Happy Heroes is out March 19 via Napalm Records.
