Background information about 'The Distortion Field'

Trouble's 2013 comeback "The Distortion Field" stands as a testament to the band's ability to reinvent themselves while staying true to their doom metal roots. After the departure of long-time vocalist Eric Wagner, the Chicago legends brought in Kyle Thomas from Exhorder and Alabama Thunderpussy, and the result is nothing short of extraordinary. Thomas delivers a powerhouse performance with his incredible vocal range, soaring melodies that perfectly complement the band's signature heavy sound. His harmonies mesh beautifully with the layered instrumentation, proving that sometimes change can breathe new life into a classic formula.

The album brilliantly balances Trouble's classic doomy metal approach with their psychedelic rock influences from their later period. Bruce Franklin and Rick Wartell once again demonstrate why they're considered masters of heavy, doomy riffing, delivering crushing guitar work throughout the record. The songwriting feels more straightforward in terms of arrangements, but that only serves to highlight the power of their compositions. Songs flow with a natural progression that showcases both the band's evolution and their unwavering commitment to quality heavy music. This remastered edition by Erwin Hermsen at Toneshed Studio brings out every nuance of the band's rich, heavy sound.
