CD

Power Trip were already lords of the Texas hardcore scene by the time 2013 rollded out, but Manifest Decimation made them kings. The Dallas bands incendiary debut album is a careening steam engine of sabertooth thrash riffage, knuckle-cracking hardcore mosh parts and commanding vocals from the now-late frontman Riley Gale, who summons the gust of a hundred winds for his opening battle cry and never lets up until the soldiering groove of Hammer of Doubt marches the record to a triumphant close.
