Trouble--Psalm 9

Trouble--Psalm 9 (1984) Rating--7.1

1974 Sabbath bottom-heaviness is mixed with 1984-era innovations, as thick and murky distortion marks this debut by a landmark and extremely underrated band. They would go on to magnificent things...
Pace changes abound, and heavy riffs are mixed well into "The Tempter," "Assassin," and "The Fall of Lucifer". "Revelation (Life or Death)" is a churning pool from start to end, and beware the doomsday sludge of the title track...
Singer Eric Wagner is a treat, but a nice instrumental is served up as well in "Endtime."
An intriguing debut, and it only gets better from here.
TRACK LIST: The Tempter/Assassin/Victim of the Insane/Revelation (Life or Death)/Bastards Will Pay/The Fall of Lucifer/ Endtime/Psalm 9/Tales of Brave Ulysses
