Trouble--Trouble (1990)
Rating--9.2
End of My Daze--RealAudio Black Shapes of Doom--RealAudio
From the opening malevolent riff and proceeding groove of "At the End of My Daze", you can just visualize the evil grin
overlooking the apocalypse, as Trouble brings their groove-based and deep churning reckoning upon the metal world. The band
toils in a domain similiar to Sabbath, but are oh so much better, working their
way close to a slower Overkill, a simpler Iced Earth. With soaring vocals, precise and tight
guitar work, and songs that completely take over your nervous system, causing you body to jerk and pulse with every head-banging
note, Trouble are truly one of a kind. A dangerous album--a dangerous band.
Lock the doors and turn up the groove on
"Psychotic Reaction", "Black Shapes of Doom", and the afore-mentioned "Daze". "The Wolf", "Heaven on My Mind",
"E.N.D.", and "R.I.P." beckon back to the band's faster, thrashier "Assassin" sound of the mid-'80s, though all feature updated sounds and schemes.
HOT CHOPS: See above. The groove-meisters, and they will only improve...
You can just see the guitarists on the opening track--Axes slung low, standing in the shadows, bringing doom to all...
