Power Trip - "Waiting Around To Die"

"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.

"Waiting Around To Die"
Human “being” has lost its meaning when you refuse to fight
If I don’t force your hand, it could cost you your life
You’re waiting around to die and you’re all right with it
You’re waiting around to die and I can’t stand for it
You can you’ve got the fire in you, then show me what you’ve got
You say the future’s yours, I say your future is filled with rot
You’re waiting around to die, how can you live with it?
Just waiting around to die and I can’t fucking stand it
You’re waiting around to die, how can you live with it?
Just waiting around to die, is this how we’re going to end it?
No
Can’t be held accountable for another hopeless soul
The choice ain’t up to me, you’ve got to fight to be free

This was the sucker punch in the face I needed to get my life back on track. Such a powerful song

[@annanhildebrand9667]

Lmfao trying to do the same here

[@briankeevan8134]

I grew up with Thrash of the mid to late 80’s, (Exodus, Laaz Rockit, Nuclear Assault, Slayer,) But until running across Powertrip, I had pretty much lost faith that any true Thrash was still being created. These guys do Thrash right!!

[@gerardovillarroel1065]

Rest In Peace Riley Gale. Power Trip will always destroy!

[@jmanned]

I was trying to find tour dates and couldn’t find any, explains why.. bummer he died, so sad

[@IamTyler3]

My favorite Power Trip memory was seeing these guys at some bar in Seattle. Riley says, "This next song is based off a Townes Van Zandt song, and it goes out to Merle Haggard, rest in peace" and went into this. I lost my mind as a country music fan. Rest in Power, Riley.

[@cameronmallin3097]

Dude that is incredible. I bet it went over quite a few heads at that show but I would have been like hell yeah Townes and Merle. Fuckin rio Riley.

Best song on the album but the album is a masterpiece.

[@archangel5627]

Live Action Sonic I totally agree with you! Waiting Around to Die is everything I want in a Thrash song! Definitely my favorite on the album but Nightmare Logic isn’t far behind! These guys are amazing!

These guys rip hard

I love this "futuristic distopic Terminator style" intro. It is worth the purchase of the album

[@michaelmallamo5040]

Intro is definitely fun, but how about that absolute beat down of an ending!?

[@nuclearthrasher666]

Unbelievable that Riley is gone. He was one of the key elements that made Power Trip one of the BEST new thrash metal band. Rest in peace to Riley Gale, strength and courage to his loved ones

[@ce8539]

[@RisingSun96]

Power Trip compete as one of the best thrash bands of all time, and most probably are amongst the top 5 metal bands of the 21st century. I'm honoured to have seen them live before Riley's passing, the circle pit at the gig was fucking insane, just pure adrenaline, so thanks for the memories Power Trip and of course Rest In Power Riley Gale.

[@jmanned]

This songs resonates with me so well. Sometimes I literally feel like since the day we are born we are just waiting around to die. Listening to this song is actually very motivational to me and I’ve been using at as a reminder to get up and do something new or productive.

Their guitar tone is the quintessential Thrash sound! If I didn’t know they were a new band I would swear this was from 1986!💪🏻🤘🏻

Good! Speedy!

[@sixpenceguy]

Man, this is perfect early to mid 80's thrash. This is what Metal Church, Testament, Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth should still sound like. Now, they just need to record the vocalist so he doesn't sound like he's trapped in a cave.

[@johnnybravo6866]
