Since his first self-released album in 2017, Anders Buaas has really made a name for himself in the prog-rock scene. He has previously played in several renowned Norwegian bands, worked as a producer, and was a touring guitarist for Paul DiAnno (Iron Maiden) and Tim Ripper Owens (Judas Priest).
The new Anders Buaas album Trollringen is loosely based on and inspired by the novel of the same name by Norwegian author Sigurd Hoel – a historical saga, murder mystery and domestic tragedy inspired by a childhood discovery of an executioner’s block used in the beheading of a murderer in 1833.
On Trollringen, Buaas has included songs with lyrics and vocals for the first time.
“All the songs were written between 2019 and 2025 without a concept in mind but fit the narrative of the story well. It is up to the listener to connect the dots. As I mainly focus on instrumental music, my main love and musical venture, I had some songs with vocals and lyrics that were unused. This was the time to fit them into an album. A live string section is also new to this release, as well as the use of soprano saxophone on the title track.”
He has brought in several internationally renowned vocalists to interpret some of the compositions on the album, including Tanya Wells, Tim Condor and Miriam Kjølen.
