Troll Bends Fir is a Russian folk metal band known for integrating traditional folk elements from their native culture into their metal sound. Previously introduced to audiences through their releases, the band’s style combines energetic performances with a focus on cultural authenticity.


"Brothers in Drinks" is a compilation album that features their last two EPs, originally released in 2010 and 2011. The band performs primarily in their native language, with the exception of the track titled "Beer Mantra," which is sung in English. Their musical approach emphasizes lively, festival-ready folk metal that aligns well with celebratory atmospheres, particularly those centered around beer-drinking events.



The album’s overall tone is upbeat and accessible, prioritizing enjoyment and cultural expression over innovation. Notably, the compilation includes a bonus track featuring Jonne Järvelä of Korpiklaani fame, adding an additional layer of recognition within the folk metal community.


In summary, "Brothers in Drinks" offers a collection of spirited folk metal songs suitable for fans of lively, culturally infused metal music with a focus on celebration and tradition.
