90's-present Metal bands - Black Sabbath style

Trouble

Noboby talks about THE Band with the most Sabbath influences ever. The band doesnt exist anymore, but there are rumours about a reunion. And indeed, there was a showcase at a german metal festival in 2003. This band lives from an awesome two guitar sound. Rick Wartell and Bruce Franklin, both fans of Gibson Flying V guitars, created a sound even Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield tried to copy back in the early 80'ies when Metallica was opening act for Trouble! The voice of vocalist Eric Wagner is near by Ozzy's voice, but has a more painful and deeper character. Rick Rubin signed the band for his Def American label and produced two albums, a selftitled in 1990 and Manic Frustration in 1992.

This is was AMG writes: No band deserves as much credit for keeping the gospel of classic Black Sabbath-derived heavy metal (no to mention bell-bottoms) alive during the '80s as Chicago's Trouble. And while the group's legend never exceeded cult status, their work would serve as inspiration for an entire generation of '90s bands in the thriving underground doom/stoner metal scene. ....

A self produced minialbum is missing in AMG list, the 1994 'One For The Road' EP.

Check out Trouble!

Important note i've forget: even Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) payed tribute to Trouble. He asked Eric Wagner to contribute on his PROBOT album. The result is track 10 'My Tortured Soul'.
