Chicago-based doom legends TROUBLE have issued the following update:

"Hey Trouble fans! We are still in the process of putting together a brand new Trouble website! This will coincide with the new Trouble release this spring.

During our 25 years in the music business we’ve seen so many amazing Trouble pictures, paintings and digital art works that we feel it’s time for your loyalty and hard work to be seen!"

Back in November 2012, Trouble guitarist Rick Wartell posted what could be the artwork for the band's forthcoming new album, possibly titled The Dark Riff, and due for a 2013 release. Check it out below:

An update prior to that read as follows: "Things are starting to pick up in our camp so we decided to put up a quick page to fill you guys in on what's happening with us. Look for the new site to coincide with our upcoming release this spring.

We just would like to give you a quick update on what's going on in Trouble world. The songs are coming along just great! We have some final guitar stuff to finish up and the vocals aren't far behind. We are very impressed with the talent Kyle (Wartell, guitar) has brought to Trouble and those are just the demos! Trouble fans will be pleased to say the least!

We are all very excited about this new album and look forward to seeing you all in the spring / summer of 2013. Please like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter for all the latest news! Thank you for your patience and loyalty over the years!"
