Power Trip Samantha Tellez Power Trip have released a pair of new songs, “Precinct 3” and “Scavenger,” the Dallas thrash band’s first new music since the death of singer Riley Gale in 2020.
In 2024, the group’s founding four musicians — guitarist Blake Ibanez, guitarist Nick Stewart, bassist Chris Whetzel, and drummer Chris Ulsh — confirmed plans to reunite, enlisting singer Seth Gilmore for a series of live shows that year.
Those shows ultimately led to the group returning to the studio with Gilmore, and work on the band’s third album began. “Precinct 3” and “Scavenger” are the first offerings from that 2027-bound LP, the band’s first album since 2017’s Nightmare Logic and first with Gilmore on vocals.
“When we were writing this, we wondered what Riley would have wanted to write about,” Ibanez said in a statement. “So once we decided on that approach, it honestly came really easily– the lyrics were flowing and it just felt like the right way to kick off this new chapter and honor him. I think he would have been stoked to see it come to fruition.”
