Trouble have wasted no time in replacing vocalist Kory Clarke after the Warrior Soul frontman announced his departure from the veteran doom outfit yesterday.

Kyle Thomas, former vocalist with Exhorder, Alabama Thunderpussy and Floodgate, has been confirmed as the band's new singer.

Thomas, who has also previously worked on projects with members of Down, Obituary, Deicide and Slipknot, has actually performed with Trouble previously, fronting the band for four shows betweeen 1997 and 1999.

Kory Clarke announced alongside news of his departure that, as well as working on a new Warrior Soul album, he would be collaborating with former Pentagram guitarist Russ Strahan on a project called The Bones Of Children.
