055: Power Trip HAIL to Riley Gale and Power Trip

055: Power Trip HAIL to Riley Gale and Power Trip

Often in life, we don’t discover the truth about something until it’s too late. And the truth about Powertrip is that they are an anachronistic anomaly in Thrash Metal: yeah they may have come to power in the late 2000’s and 2010’s but they would sound right at home in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s era of Thrash Metal that we hold so dear. Sadly, some of us are only just now discovering the band for the very first time upon learning of the unfortunate and untimely passing of Powertrip frontman, Riley Gale.

So, prepare your favorite relaxer, raise a glass, raise your horns, and JOIN US as we honor Riley Gale and Powertrip and their phenomenal contributions (thus far) to the mighty pantheon of Thrash Metal.
