Singer Kory Clarke Quits Trouble (Blabbermouth)

Posted on Tuesday, February 7th, 2012

After four years and a minimal amount of touring and no record deal or album release date in sight, singer Kory Clarke of Warrior Soul-fame has decided to leave Chicago doom metal legends Trouble to start a new project with guitarist Russ Strahan (Pentagram, Land of Doom) called The Bones Children.

“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,” Kory laughs. “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 [Trouble's] old singer [Eric Wagner] 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. [Laughs].” He adds, “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 Children will make its debut release available sometime this fall.
