Sucks because he gave me hope for the future of thrash

[@nathancottrill1363]

@@outerspaceman7534 Late on the comment thread here but my love for thrash, punk/hardcore brought me here. Power Trip was such an incredible band. Riley is missed. A band of young Kids are taking the modern thrash scene by storm. If you haven’t heard of them check them out! ENFORCED.🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@nathancottrill1363]

4 yrs after this showing…. Amen to that brother!

@@outerspaceman7534 Let me know if you like them. I think their next level lol. 🤘🏼

[@numsiskit]

Hearing this band for the first time was the only time I've ever really felt like a genre was being revived. They're that good. It's a damn shame Riley has passed on

[@MR.PRESIDENTOFFICIAL]

exactly same as me , heard them a few months ago and was blown away and then i found out he passed, i was shattered

[@numsiskit]

@@MR.PRESIDENTOFFICIAL It was bad news. I think there are some bands popping up because there's more appetite for thrash and hardcore now. Check out Harakiri Diat's channel or No Deal's channel. Not a whole lot of thrash but some good stuff.

[@grasscasket]

Vocalist sounds fucking incredible in this performance

[@dragon-eye75]

love the 80's style metal vocalist reverb on his voice.

[@collt0916]

His voice is fantastic

[@varitsvq9002]

That was a great frontman! Left waaaaay to early from this world!

[@Rhamsody]

Haha I love the casual Circle Pit. Like "let's not over do it. I gotta go to work i the morning!"

[@andrewkratenstein7691]

It's a casual stroll pit

[@YoDawgoneeleven]

It's absolutely crazy how big they've gotten this year. 10 years of dedication in the hardcore/metal scene paid off really well for them

[@arkved]

they are lucky loudwire noticed them.

[@wandring1]

For real. Power Trip and Code Orange have really gotten huge this year. It's awesome to see a band you love get the recognition they deserve.

[@whenibecamethesun..8759]

YoDawgoneeleven guys like these guys deserve it...but they probably don't want the fame

[@whenibecamethesun..8759]

Mr. Meatballs powerful voice

[@mindstorms247]

YoDawgoneeleven I wander if it’s because of there music people do crazy things people are alone no mosh pit? Problem solved there gonna head bang there frustration out of them rather they got a coworker problem or a neighbor problem who could be a grouch or a nasty person who could yell at you for no apparent reason.

[@sunshineoverpass5020]

I love the fact that there's a classic C.O.C. t-shirt, an Obituary t-shirt, a circa-1985 Ratt "Invasion of Your Privacy" t-shirt, and a circa-1988 Fates Warning "No Exit" t-shirt across the front line there...

[@dakotagrusak]

Should give a raise to their stylist.

80s influenced but doesn’t come across as trying too hard. Love it. Havok has some competition now

[@chikinsami4230]

havok tries too hard

[@nategin9009]

@@SlingshotMustang I prefer the raw sound of power trip. But I like Havok

[@crimsonghostohio]

Classic thrash reborn

[@wilfordgrimley4339]

Lol welcome to the party pal

[@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814]

Classic thrash by way of hardcore and punk, no less. Shit rips. Swear to God the first time I heard this song I thought it was from 85-86, not 2016-2017. They nailed it.

[@wenxingwang7867]

Saw them opened for Exodus and Obituary this month, fucking awesome

[@vexedaslin]

Ayy me too

[@joeyoksh]

Same here. They were great

[@feels.good.man__3420]

Saw them at the terragram, they were amazing

[@MegaThrasher95]

Wenxing Wang Saw them opening for Lamb of God and Anthrax last year. I had no idea who they were, or that there were other bands playing. First song played, and I was hooked immediately.

[@mcbillanderkoutsakis8988]

I think that the power trip, obituary and exodus show included dust bolt which is a kickass thrash band as well

[@wazxvicious75]

rip our brother in arms he had gone to soon

I think that is the slowest circle pit I ever saw. xD

[@Thunderbug91]

Vatroslav Morbidović yep the circle pit was pathetic

[@aaronh3419]

If you ever seen them headlining shows you'll realize they arn't a circle pit band they draw more of a hardcore style crowd

[@unr3quited]

SDMF2013 I mean it's an award show lol people didn't come to mosh

[@StephenAlexWalker]

They were playing with Napalm in the UK, this was the mellow band for the evening lol.

[@JesusAlvarez-wp4gj]

Security actually tried to break up the pit multiple times throughout the show, lame 😒
