15/12/00
-- Hello, everyone. It finally happened - a complete and very exlusive report of the Motorhead Moscow appearance is now on the site, featuring our own footage of the man himself, and some very interesting and particular details of the band's visit to Moscow. Check it all out in the GIGZ section.
-- And yeah, sure as hell we got more reviews -- Beseech, Hatred, Nashville Pussy, and Various Artists Russian Gothic Rock compilation. Go to the HEADZ to get those.

-- Yessir, it's us here again, surprised? Well, so are we - and I mean, 8 new reviews - Canaan, Coverdale, Dreams of Sanity, Gardenian, Napalm Death, Natron, Theatre of Tragedy, and Virus 7. Due to the public holidays I won't be in the office until next Wednesday, so no updates will be made in these few days unfortunately, but at least 5 more are coming as soon as I am back at work, so stay tuned.
08/12/00
-- Phew, has it been a hard night for me putting all of them badass old reviews to the archives section... I mean, you might have noticed, it was beginning of December already and we still had October reviews hanging out in the Heads section - well, having wasted something like several hours of my precious time on this bullshit I managed to put all of the October and November acrhves together, leaving the current month with only 8 reviews.
-- Ah, yeah three of those 8 are new, check out Star Industry, Behemoth and Gehenna.
07/12/00
-- Okay, not too much but way too cool this time - check out the new Goregous Ogress of the Month for our Miss November the lovely MorrIghan
05/12/00
-- It's X-mas time in Holice Queens! Yep, folks, the season is coming and soon the time will come for all of us to draw up the odds and see what 2000 has brought to us. You know like, summing up the results, analysing the mistakes made, and all... Anyhows, that is still to come and we hope you gonna help us with this like givinng us feedback and stuff... and for now, check out our latest - Aion, Andras, Houwitser, Heliheim, and Grim Force.
-- Also, expect a new Goregous Ogress to appear on the site some time later in the week - hope fully by Friday.
-- And expect our very own and exclusive report of the Motorhead visit to Moscow. -- Stay tuned...
28/11/00
-- Okay, here we are again rushing ourselves to do more and more reviews every week and time and time again the only thing I am certain about is that 24 hours a day is not enough- anyhows 5 more albums coming our way here - Dee Snider, Mercyless, Origin, Rhapsody and Children of Bodom.
21/11/00
-- Oh, dammit, just one and the same thig over and over again. Never doing anything for myself. Just always this site, the reviews, tapes, disks, - shit, man! You call this a life? Come on, give me a damn break, somebody! err... or something... Anyways, where was I? ahh, right, the reviews: Jorn by the Maniac, Bohze Onkels by Big Daddy (yep Poppa's back), Burial by Felix da Katt, and finally Pro-Pain by yours truly... Stay tuned for more later in the week.
16/11/00
-- Wow, this is actually surprising - more than one update done in one week? Yep, true, well... there's always room for some perfection, I reckon. Anyways, it's not my blah that you are here for, I should think. So the reviews, boys and girls, the reviews - two of them this time: Krabathor and Skyclad.
14/11/00
-- Okay, more and more news coming our way these days: First and foremost - what we are all here about - the reviews: three more of them this time. Slash's Snakepit, Thyrfing, and Enslaved crypted down by the lazy-arsed Troll, that I am. ;)
-- The second major news concerns our partner project of the lovely Rag Doll - not being content with her previous hosting-provider, she has decided to make a brave move and establish a server of her own, that is currently to be found at MetalKings.ru. Due to the transition process difficulties some of the links and pages of the site might be malfunctioning, but, hell, at least it loads heaps better now... :)
13/11/00
-- Man, has it been a hard decision to make, but we've finally did it! The new Goregous Ogress is here! Kneel all ye weak mortals at the feet of Black Widdow!
09/11/00
-- OK, slowly and strivingly though, but we still manage to proceed somehow - Panzerchrist, Tanzwut, and Doro reviews are here, and... finally, we have picked our new Goregous Oggress of October, who will decorate our site with her devilish beauty starting from next Monday! Keep waiting...
01/11/00
-- Hell... oh! Yeah, we're here again, and with us three new reviews - Postmortem - brought to you by Felix the Katt, Rob Halford - cortesy of the Maniac, and last but not least, the one we have all been long waiting for - Morbid Angel - by yours truly.
-- Also, we have finally moved the September reviews to the archives section. High time, it's November already. ;)
25/10/00
-- Sorry, folks, for have kept you waiting but we have been putting too much effort on the Russian version of the site. More bad news, we haven't completed Tanzwut and Postmortem yet (sorry my fault). But still, something is out there for you to read - the new Cradle of Filth record is here, and do I just love it. Fucking A!
18/10/00
-- Boy, I start getting troubled about this - making updates only once a week has started to become a tradition for us, and I definitely do not like this new tradition... Well, words... words... Anyhows, first and foremost, I've just noticed we've cheated you last time - the Unlord review was not here. Ooops, did it again! ;) At least now it is, and to accompany it - Haemorrhage (another nice not act brought to you by Morbid Records and the Katt), and Danney Alkana, Dark Tranquillity, and Nightingale - (all cortesey of the Maniac). Two more will be posted today or tomorrow - Tanzwut and Postmortem (keep watching)...
11/10/00
-- OK, some of you might have been wonmdering how come there were no updates made to the Troll's Independent in the beginning of the week. Well, the reason is very simply. I got a cold and had to stay at home for a couple of days. And, since I don't have a net connection at home, I couldn't make any updates. But, being ill, means I have had some free time to do some serious work and as a result now you can get 11 new reviews. Yessir, this goes up to eleven ;) Chaostar, Unlord, Nyctophobic, Grief of Emerald, The Lord Weird Slough Feg, Tristitia, Fleshless, Four Seats for Invalides, Suicidal Tendencies, Nifelheim, and Raison D'Etre. More is yet to come from the Maniac, some time around Friday. And well, you never know, I might write a couple of more one of these days too :) Enjoy!
03/10/00
-- As we have promised to you earlier this week, Soulfly and Nile are here. Enjoy.
02/10/00
-- Alright now, one more review so far, largley due to mine being busy with some minor alteration made to the site. We've been hearing that some of you are upset with the fact we don't have a full list of what has been reviewed, well, since TTI is always concerned about bringing its best to the readers (uhuh, my ass! ;) we've made it and now when you enter the OLDZ section you can see the full list of reviews for each month put in alphabetical order.
-- You also might have notived we have put up a sort of a schedule for upcoming reviews and rumoured/confirmed coming releases from some major bands (that is to be seen on the title page)
-- Pretty much the same additions have been made to the Russian section of the site, and two new translations were put up for those of you who didn't learn English.
-- Ah yeah, well, the new review - Agent Steel -- and expect Nile, Soulfly and some more in a couple of days. Keep your eyes peeled...
02/10/00
-- Finally - the new seciton has arrived. TTI proudly presents t's very own - Goregous Ogress of the Month - Featuring Miss September - Vampirized Ophelia.
-- More news are due later today or tomorrow
28/09/00
-- OK, moving forward, folks, the end of the month will definitely see us doing quite a lot of stuff, this time it is three more new reviews in the English version: The Firstborn, Omega, and Stratovarius. Four new translations have been put up in the Russian version. The end of the week will also see the opening of a totally new and unexpected section (yep, finally)
-- Also, check the caves section. There is a totally cool new project there -- CIS Music. The guy - Idol Fenriz - has started a database of bands from all over the former USSR. The site has quite a content and a pretty good design, so go check it out. At the moment he is working over the English version of it.
25/09/00
-- All right, fellas, this time we are back with some very thick and brutal sound brought to all of you especially by the boyz from Barathrum, Manos, and Gurd. Expect more later this week. Also in the Russian version - translations of Orplid and Die Toten Hosen.
22/09/00
-- Three more reviews were added this morning and I love the diversity: a beautiful folk release from Germany's Orplid, a sick dark-wavish album from Plasma Pool, and finally a very primitive gore metal CD from the US-based Exhumed... Have fun!
18/09/00
-- OK, we've got tons and tons of news this time. Well, first and foremost you might have noticed that the logo on the mainscreen have been slightly changed. Yes, we have now got a corporate mascotte - or 5 of them to be exact. The pictures of the other four figures will be incorporated into our design as soon as possible. Each of the figures represents a respective member of the editorial. Keep your eyes peeled...
-- Of course, we have got several more reviews posted: Hammerfall, Hypnos, Viking Crown and Die Toten Hosen. The Russian version has several more translations added. August reviews have been moved to the archives (yes, finally).
-- Also, TTI announces the start of its partnership programme with the Double A studio. Click here for details.
14/09/00
-- Crematory and Dispatched reviewed by da Katt, and two more translations in the Russian version.
11/09/00
-- OK, only one new addition so far - Rotting Christ. More are to follow shortly (yep, promises-promises). There's also a couple couple of new translated reviews in the Russian section of TTI.
-- And well, today is the birthday of yours truly - like I come here not to bury Troll, but like... later, dude... huh-huh... You may kindly tell me to go and get screwed in the guestbok-section ;)
08/09/00
-- Well you might have noticed a line in the title screen of our site spelled in the same coloured letter like this one... Well, you might want to check it out ;) CLICK
06/09/00
-- Oh, dammit man, we've almost forgot! It's Maniac's birthday today! So why doncha all say something nasty to him in our guestbook! Keep it going mate!
-- Okay, we've added two new reviews to the English site (Gloomy Grim & Disassociate) and two more translations to the Russian version (Tribute to Kreator & Firebird).
05/09/00
-- I told you we're always one day back behind aour deadlines. The russian vwersion has just opened today... sorry... ;) Anyhows, there's still a new review of Motley Crue's latest New Tattoo, provided by our new man - the Big Daddy! Read all about him in the Trollz Section/
31/08/00
-- As usual with us we almost make it to our own deadlines, almost. Geez, this is just impossible. How come we can never make it on the day we actually promise to? Well, nevermind, this time we've got three more reivews added: Firebird, Flauros, and Unmoored.
-- The Maniac and Rag Doll are continuing to work on the translation for the Russian version of TTI, and well, it just seems we actually will be opening it on time. Mind you, some of the stuff like, archives, or most of the concert reviews, will not be translated that fast, so they will be evolving more or less spontaneously.
-- And well, last but surely not least - It's Rag Doll's birthday today!!! Many happy returns and stuff!!! ;)
28/08/00
-- Ok, there's only one more new review, although it is a treat, this one - Boney Nem a Russian deatð meallesque band covering 70-80ies pop hits. There're tons of more reviews to do from some major cool bands, which will be appearing some time later in the week. The problem is at the moment most of our staff, including yours truly, is working their bloody arseholes off on completing the Russian version of this page, which we have promised to post on the web already next Monday (and we're determined to do that.) Also we're thuinking about starting a couple of more sections, but that is yet to be accomplished so I'm not disclosing any details just quite yet... Until then, enjoy and check back for new additions circa Wednesday.
24/08/00
-- Seriously I just don't feel like writing much now, the time being nearly two in the bloody morning Monday, so I guess I'll just name the latest additions: the Chasm, Alchemist, Benumb, Thy Primordial, and Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows... enjoy.Hopefully, we'll be posting more yet some time later in the week so keep checking back.
