Episode 172: Power Trip

This week we're discussing every album by Power Trip. Formed in Dallas, TX, Power Trip was part of the wave of retro thrash metal in the mid to late 00s. However, they distinguished themselves through their raw and gritter approach when compared to some of their peers. So much so that they were nominated for a Grammy for the song "Executioner's Tax (Swing of the Axe)." Their future, at the moment, is a bit uncertain after the sudden death of vocalist Riley Gale in 2020.

Closing track: "Crucifixation" from Nightmare Logic (2017)
