The Distortion Field makes history in the TROUBLE camp through the band's acquisition of a new lead vocalist, Kyle Thomas of Exorder and Floodgate fame.
Commenting on new vocalist Thomas, TROUBLE
founder and guitarist Rick Wartell says, "Kyle is one of the most
impressive singers I've ever heard, and by far the most extraodinary
singer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He's got incredible
range, incredible power, and an incredible knowledge of TROUBLE, as he's been a fan for 20-something years. We've known him forever, and he innately understands what TROUBLE is about. He's like the perfect guy to come in and do this job. It's awesome."
Veteran
Music Producer Bill Metoyer is once again lending his expertise, having
previously worked with the band on 'The Skull' and 'Trouble', both
Metal Blade releases.
The band consists of Kyle Thomas - vocals, Rick Wartell - guitar, Bruce Franklin - guitars, and Mark "Marko" Lira - drums.
