Power Trip are back with their first new music since the death of frontman Riley Gale.
The Dallas crossover thrash band released a double single, "Precinct 3" and "Scavenger," the first recordings with vocalist Seth Gilmore. Gale died in August 2020.
Guitarist Blake Ibanez said the band wrote the songs around one question: "When we were writing this, we wondered what Riley would have wanted to write about." He added, "I think he would have been stoked to see it come to fruition."
Gilmore said "Scavenger" is about people who "develop some sort of self-importance from association" and then turn it "against the same people they leeched it from."
The songs were recorded with producer Jacob Hansen and are the band's first for Blue Grape Music, which is pressing both on a limited 7-inch.
