Trouble is a traditional doom/stoner metal band from Chicago, Illinois, formed in 1979. Taking inspiration from Black Sabbath they helped write the book for traditional doom metal. They are often mislabeled as a Christian Metal band, but this is not totally the case...they've written songs that touch on Christian themes but by no means do they fall under the label completely. Their first three albums all wave the traditional doom flag while later releases had a more stoner metal flair. They went on hiatus for a while after Plastic Green Head but re-formed in 2002 for some reunion shows and Eric Wagner was even featured on Dave Grohl's Probot project. The band recorded a DVD live in Stockholm, Sweden and they released their newest effort in 2007 along with re-issues of Psalm 9 and The Skull. If traditional doom or stoner metal is your thing, or if you want insight on a band who helped form traditional doom, do not pass up a chance to hear Trouble.

Trouble will always be one of the greatest and most important doom metal bands. Kings of the aggressive doom riff.
I couldn't agree more, man.
They'll always be very high up on my favorite doom of all time list.
