Album Notes & Community Reviews
Trouble鈥檚 highly influential sophomore album merges the crushing, funereal tempos of traditional doom metal with explicitly Christian, spiritually redemptive lyrical themes. Eric Wagner's dramatic, wailing vocals navigate deeply sombre, incredibly heavy riffing that wrestles with death, depression, and salvation. 'The Skull' is an epic, highly serious, and pioneering monument in the development of American white metal and doom.
