OK folks, now rare stuff by Troops Of The Sun which you can't buy or stream or anything like that... The band was formed after the fatal end of Serene Fall and basically picks up where it left off. No wonder, first as Carrows which made a demo and shortly thereafter renamed Troops. Parallels to the early days of Serene Fall are undeniable. The current line-up consists of Maul (vocals/guitars), Lumpi (guitars), Eddie (bass), Uli (drums) and they made one album (2019) and one 12Inch (2021). Stylistically, the four move in a dark, melancholic, almost epic sound and tell stories that are mostly unfunny and develop a real affection with hymn-like choral passages. Because all the shit around us that we face on a daily basis, makes us angry and tired, and the band manages to pound it in your face with terrifying clarity. Life doesn't mean pretending and always swallowing shit, NO! ... Life means standing by yourself and representing your ideals, regardless of the losses. And sometimes it takes bands like this to remind us not to be or become an Asshole.
