Trouble

Psalm 9 is the debut studio album by American doom metal band Trouble, released on March 10, 1984. The album was originally released eponymously and was later renamed to Psalm 9 after the release of the band's fourth studio album, which was their 1990 self-titled release. Along with Saint Vitus' self-titled debut album from the same year, Psalm 9 is considered by many critics to be one of the first doom metal releases. The track "Assassin" was released as a single and included a cover of British rock band Cream's 1967 song "Tales of Brave Ulysses" as a B-side. The album has been released for CD on three occasions: in 1991 by Metal Blade Records, a year after the release of then-current album Trouble; remastered using the original master tapes and reissued again by Metal Blade in 1994, commemorating the 10th anniversary of its release; and again remastered and reissued by Escapi Music in October 2006, with a bonus DVD containing video footage of the band from 1982.
