1. An American doom metal band.
2. Rapper from Atlanta Georgia known for his work with Duct Tape Ent. & His Mixtape December 17th.
1. Trouble was formed in Chicago in 1979 by vocalist Eric Wagner, guitarists Bruce Franklin and Rick Wartell bassist Sean McAllister, and drummer Jeff Oly Olson. Drawing deeply from Black Sabbath for inspiration (with occasional nods to the psychedelic sounds of the late ’60s thrown in for good measure)… , the band forged an uncompromising brand of classic metal all their own, made more unique by their gloomy down-tuned riffs and spiritual, often mistakenly religious lyrics, which quickly earned them the dubious “white metal” tag. The album and songtitle Run To The Light was thought to be a religious title while it actually came from Eric Wagner watching Poltergeist and writing it down.
The band toured throughout the Midwest during the early ’80s before signing with Metal Blade Records and releasing their amazingly mature eponymous debut (later referred to as Psalm 9) in 1984. The equally impressive (and even more depressing) The Skull followed in 1985 and reflected singer Wagner’s struggles with substance abuse as well as the growing turmoil within the group. This led to the replacement of bassist McAllister with Ron Holzner and the departure of drummer Olson, who, as legend has it, had decided to become a preacher. Dennis Lesh was drafted as his replacement for 1987’s Run to the Light.

Get the fuck over it and amuse yourself with whichever Trouble you prefer and stop attempting to use music preferences as symbols in your puerile internet power squabbles.

Listening to "Manic Frustration". It definitely doesn't sound like a 90's album. If it was released in the 70's, it would've been absolutely groundbreaking or even in the early 80's heavy metal scene it would've been great. But for a 90's album, it's so tacky and unoriginal. Psalm 9 is s/t are much better.

"listening to doom metal >not in 5th grade anymore >grow the fuck up faggots" Lol, if you truly love the music and are not 'a victim' to trends, you have truly grown up (in some form). Have you, little boy? And Trouble is more than 'just' Doom...
