Troll was founded in 1992, when 14-year-old Stian Arnesen aka "Nagash" started writing music with Glaurung and Fafnir.

Other members were also added, making Troll a group and no longer a solo project.

Lyrical content was now mainly English, and the imagery revolved less around Satanic symbols and hate for Christians.

[2] In 2007 Nagash had assembled a full line-up for Troll, and began recording a new album in January 2009.

That album, Neo-Satanic Supremacy, was released in early 2010, and described by one critic as "An entertaining, if somewhat over-familiar slice of 90s-style symphonic black metal".
