Power Trip - "Firing Squad"

"Firing Squad" is the first track to be released from the forthcoming Power Trip album "Nightmare Logic." "Nightmare Logic" has taken Power Trip’s classic Exodus-meets-Cro-Mags sound to new places. With hooks and tightness rivaling greats like Pantera or Pentagram and production by the esteemed Arthur Rizk, "Nightmare Logic" punishes fans not only sonically but with pure songwriting skill.
The sophomore release and second on Southern Lord Records, raises the bar and pushes Power Trip to new extremes.

"Firing Squad"
Peace be unto thee, unless you want a piece of me
Whose side are you on?
You can’t hide
You can’t run
You wage war on life,
Logic lost in brainwashed minds
Storming heaven, it’s not too late
Hit them hard, crash the gates
I see your way of life and I think it’s a joke
“Don’t step out of line, you’re walking a tight rope!”
Before long I’ll be dead and gone
Locked up for the firing squad
Old guard changes hands
This will be your last stand
You had yours
I want mine
Second chance: Denied
I see your way of life and I think it’s a joke
“Don’t step out of line, you’re walking a tight rope!”
Before long you’ll be dead and gone
Locked up for the firing squad
Warfare everywhere?
I shudder the thought!
Lined up with the firing squad,
Now take your best shot!

So glad I've randonly came across this Band, first song I've heard was Hornets Nest, while working out outside, gave me a good fckn energy-boost

Finally a new metal band (not nu metal!) to get EXCITED about \M/

[@taylorbenson3093]

Saw this band on the 11/8/17 in Dallas with Cannibal Corpse. They were amazing. New band I love.

[@Rob-bn9ib]

I just saw them with Cannibal Corpse on the 13th, in Santa Ana. Awesome show. Gatecreeper did great too.

[@lovelettertypewriter_3151]

Dammmnnnn!!! When that break was about to hit all I could think was "can they outdo Suffer No Fool??" Maybe not but that was sick!!!

[@zdengvox]

1:40 I almost thought that "Seek and Destroy" from Metallica started

[@rippedhydra1494]

This is fucking sick!!

[@MrAtomicDon]

In-fucking-tense!

[@DemoGuy6069]

Shit is intense! just a few good thrash metal albums this year.This one is to be sure in the top list!

[@ivansantillanes680]

This band deserves so much more recognition

[@samharradence5689]

Ivan Santillanes Anthony Fantano gave them some love.

[@drverano1918]

true thats why I'm here.

[@scottkiriakoutsos960]

Ivan Santillanes agreed

[@QuestionKnife]

Yeah well now, they’re finally getting it. This album brought them to a whole-nother level .... modern Pantera for me ;)

[@scottbrougham9681]

Just smashed Australia few weeks ago.....

[@joshansharma4244]

Now I can imagine what it'd feel like listening to Fight fire with Fire in 1984. All thanks to this song.

[@Belenus3080]

Joshan Sharma underrated comment. I always wonder how music is gonna sound 30 years from now and production these days is gonna be outdated.

[@geraldlikens4750]

You have a great idea. These guys are so fking great and i been with metallica from day fking zero. These boys from power trip lay it fucking down sir!!!!

[@jctiller8719]

Pretty close...I've listened to Metallica since the beginning

[@WesllyOni]

The burst of acceleration on 2:39 sends me every time, it is pure, undiluted, thrash metal right there. Holy shit.

[@mitchelllewis8864]

Riley, I saw you live in Atlanta in 2019 when you opened for High on Fire. I thought I was there to see High on Fire, more specifically Matt Pike; but as it turned out, as much as I love High on Fire, I was there to see you that night. We didn't meet, and now we never will, but I want you to know you made me happy and I enjoyed watching you, be you. Thanks for everything. I'll bring my guitar to the other side and when I get there, I'll look for you.

[@dannygagne4693]

Saw them open for High on fire in Montréal, Hof is one of my favorite band but have to be honest, they completely stole the show. Happy to have seen Riley live twice, what a frontman, so sad.

[@timh9497]

I can't believe I'm making this cliché statement but I can't get enough of this band! 80's glory thrash resurrected. These guys are the real fucking deal.

[@QuestionKnife]

what's the cliche there? "can't get enough"? That's not cliche. "80's thrash", however = certainly cliche lol

[@Bandre0114]

This song has everything I love about thrash, with a sound that reminds me of Slayer and Sepultura! I went and bought their previous album and cannot wait for the release of the next one.

[@nukkleargoat7648]

Well

[@treyjenkins6405]

These guys are so fucking talented. I grew up playing discharge and black flag, thinking I was fast. Shit.

[@whyloechoedome8122]

love that change up at 1:40

[@LeoM-zt3pl]

Whylo Echodome totally. Slayer Esque

[@zdengvox]

[@ThrashTilDeth83]

Same here man.

[@wahoo2782]

This is set to be one of the best albums of 2017 along with the new Code Orange and Malevolence records. So much fucking hype.

[@USinchains]

These guys are like a mix of megadeth and suicidal.

[@Obinjess]

I first heard this song today on SiriusXM while driving. I really wish I discovered these guys years ago. This is excellent metal and I'm ordering the CD today. RIP Riley Gale I'm sorry that I didn't get a chance to enjoy your music before this.

If you carefully hand-pick the best of '80s Thrash and distil it, you get Power Trip. Awesome work!

Bring it on, I'm ready!

[@serenitymetal]

Yes, that was ear pleasing.

[@Tim99GT]

I knew these guys wouldn't disappoint.

[@AgesofAges]

I hear Sepultura and Slayer in this and for that I am beyond happy. And this is a newer band? How have I not stumbled across this yet!? As a thrash fan I am ashamed I haven't heard of them before, but better late than never. I am in LOVE!!!

[@AKAthatoneguy]

I wonder if the "Alright!" as the drums kick in is an homage to Metallica's Seek and Destroy. Sounds like young Hetfield when he yelled the same thing way back then. May not mean anything, but pretty cool if it's a nod to them.

[@QuestionKnife]

Been wondering this since they released the single of November 15, 2016 ;)

[@tuuresuomalainen9388]

most likely not a direct homage, most of these ad lib metal cliches have already been done. It would be really difficult to distinguish a direct reference from just that

[@redshaftedflicker]

With hooks and tightness rivaling greats like Pantera or Pentagram sold me on Power Trip. There's no way I would have bought into these guys without a sales pitch like that. Thanks $outhern Lord.

[@AdamCantFathom]

Can't wait to see these dudes kick some ass live with Black Dahlia and Napalm Death!

[@inducechaos]

Adam Torres Just saw them all in New York. Fantastic stuff. Caught a concussion, so I consider that night a success.

[@jonathanportillo1373]

Adam Torres I just saw all 3 this past Saturday /,,/ badass fucking show

[@Pleasedontmakeascene]

any liveshow you don't remember, because of a head injury, is a good one. Happened to me about five years ago at a slipknot gig

[@QuestionKnife]

Max Romano I was there the same night. Legendary lineup.

[@mmcpa]

This song is plain and simple infuckingcredible!!

[@joshansharma4244]

I think the way I felt about the intro to this is the perfect example of how people would have reacted to Fight fire with fire in 1984.

[@Pulsed101]

Wooooooooooooooow I'm buying this fucking album damn it!

This Thrash Metal reminds me of Slayer.

Sounds a lot like alters of madness. Its pretty good shit.

the riffs on this album so far are in the vein of motorhead, OMG so fucking dope!!!

RIP RILEY GALE

[@gebackeneketzer5267]

These guys are fucking insane.In the good sense.Whoever said thrash is out of the times,probably needs to give this madness a listen

[@stevewonder662]

I saw these boys open for Anthrax and LoG in Houston last February. Totally impressed -- amazing talent. They had their lead guitarist on the side of the stage standing by himself in the dark -- he totally shredded it. I have never seen anyone play a guitar better than that. Was amazed.

[@MegaThrasher95]

I saw them in Corpus Christi that same tour. They kicked so much ass! I wasn’t really fond of Deafhaven though.

[@bobbyberetta4206]

It has that DRI, Early Prong, Negative Approach, Slayer type sound going on, which I totally love and glad this shit exists!

[@jereth13]

Rest In Power Riley Gale. #rileygale

thank God you guys are back.....been hanging out for a while and this is definitely the dose I needed

[@SpartanLaserCanon]

I heard about this band and track from theneedledrop and I am glad I found this. This track is really sick, I like how parts of the solos are experimental sounding

[@user-ny5vp9be8v]
