After four years, with a minimal amount of touring and no record deal or album release date in sight, frontman Kory Clarke has left legendary US doom metal outfit Trouble.

Clarke, who replaced vocalist Eric Wagner in Trouble, has wasted no time in planning a new project, working with former Pentagram guitarist Russ Strahan on 'The Bones of Children'. 

Kory Clarke:

"This metal album will be high energy, with a fresh artistic approach to the genre without the limitations of the over 50-something religious crowd!"

"It will be so nice to be working without the shackles that a previous singer has left behind of a band that is over 30 years old and acts and sounds like it. I like to do progressive, pushing the boundary, lyrics in an individualistic style, I don't want to sound like OZZY like their old singer tried to do."

"I am also glad when I look to my left on stage from now on, I will not be seeing 'Derek Smalls' in my peripheral vision. LOL. I just cannot play with people who are fundamentalist Christians, or too family oriented to the point that they can't tour, do records or knock down a few margaritas with me at the bar. This is rock 'n' roll guys not the family channel."

"The Bones Of Children" will be released this fall 2012.
