Revision as of 05:51, 25 May 2005 by CanisRufus (talk | contribs) (dab Iron Maiden)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Trouble is an American proto-Doom Metal band noted for their slow (by 80s standards), heavy albums such as their 1984 debut, Trouble (later Psalm 9), The Skull (1985), and others. Other than their influence on the just-emerging subgenre, they are also known as being one of the better, more prominent Christian metal bands, now or then.
Their sound is mid-tempo compared to Funeral Doom bands like Skepticism or Esoteric or even Doom-Death like My Dying Bride, but was some of the slowest metal being written at a time when NWOBHM and then Thrash bands were playing faster and faster; Trouble songs generally move about as fast as a slower Black Sabbath song, like "Ironman," "Lord of this World" and "Into the Void," but while the tempo had been done before, the sound is all their own. While most slow songs by Iron Maiden or Saxon tend to border on ballads, all of tracks on The Skull are as heavy as they are slow, with the distinctive fuzzy distortion and melodic, integral (rather than superfluous or ostentatious) guitar solos that are all their own.
