“We want to push forward and share this music with the world” – interview with Power Trip

Author Arto Mäenpää - 30.1.2025

Riley Gale’s tragic passing in 2020 left Power Trip‘s future hanging in the balance. Now, almost four years later, the Texan thrash metal outfit has returned to the stage with a new vocalist Seth Gilmore and is currently touring Europe with Pantera and Lovebites. We sat down with guitarists Blake Ibanez and Nick Stewart after their show in Helsinki, Finland on January 21st to discuss difficult decisions, new directions, and how Riley Gale’s legacy continues to live through the band’s music.
