About Am I in Trouble?

Am I in Trouble? is a love letter to the eclecticism and experimentation displayed in the early-to-mid 2000s avantgarde black metal explosion.

However, rather than recreate and imitate the work of the artists of that time, Am I in Trouble? extracts elements from their approaches to creation, to develop something new—filtered through a unique lens.

A vivid and varied journey through the colorful black corners of metal and beyond.

Invisible Oranges review!
Jan 08, 2025

Huge thanks to Colin Dempsey at Invisible Oranges!

On their debut album, Am I in Trouble? honors avant-garde black metal from the early aughts. They tap into the unpredictability of its source material, and shift between genres on tracks. It’s a progressive-minded approach that cherry picks elements without dragging along their dead weight. As such, precise black metal riffs, crystal clear vocals, folk straight from The Shire, and even flamenco are all present on Spectrum.

Featured in the Upcoming Metal Releases!
