I don’t how it’s been four years since Power Trip released ‘Manifest Decimation’, but thankfully they are back and more punishing than ever. With the new tracks that have been released from their forthcoming album, ‘Nightmare Logic’, they are intent on raising the bar for heavy music in 2017.

There are still plenty of groove to satiate the hardcore faithful who have stuck by them and awaited their return, yet their thrash and extreme metal influence evidently can no longer be contained. The classic 80’s style riffing of ‘Executioners Tax (Swing of the Axe)’ is redolent of Exodus and Voivod, with Riley Gales dry-throat vocals sounding visceral and coarse over the top. Power Trip show no remorse to the listener, but if you are willing to pay the price you will be highly rewarded.
