Trouble County’s "Blacken The Sky": A Thunderous Wake-Up Call You Can’t Ignore
Portsmouth’s rowdy trio Trouble County just dropped a molten music video for Blacken The Sky, the title track off their knockout debut album. Picture Southern-fried riffs colliding with doomsday prophecies, served with a side of classic rock swagger. The track? A gut-punch anthem for a world teetering on chaos. Greed, destruction, climate collapse—it’s all here, wrapped in guitar solos that’ll melt your face.
“Will we watch it all burn, or rise before it’s too late?” the band snarls. Spoiler: They’re not here to sugarcoat it. With lyrics darker than a bourbon-soaked midnight and riffs that hit like a freight train, Blacken The Sky is less a song, more a survival guide for the apocalypse.
Since 2015, these three renegades have been tearing up UK stages with their gritty blend of bluesy stoner rock and introspective rage. Their debut album, Blacken The Sky (out now via Epictronic), is a manifesto. Critics are already swooning: “Catchy, intelligent rock played to perfection,” gushed Jim Houlbrook Photography. Sonic Breakdown Records called it “bluesy stoner rock at its finest.” Translation: Trouble County’s the real damn deal.
Their lyrics hit like a sledgehammer: “We bleed her dry whilst millions die” isn’t exactly subtle. But hey, subtlety’s overrated when the world’s on fire, right? The chorus—“Bring the locusts, blacken the sky”—feels less like a melody and more like a rallying cry. You’ll either headbang or hide.

Look, we’re drowning in sanitized playlists and autotuned fluff. Trouble County’s raw, unapologetic fury is a breath of smoky, whiskey-laced air. These guys aren’t just musicians—they’re prophets of the stoner. And honestly? We need that.
So, crank it loud. Let those riffs rattle your bones. Ask yourself: Are we gonna just watch it all burn?
