Power Trip have released the two-song single “Precinct 3” / “Scavenger,” their first new music since frontman Riley Gale died in 2020. The band recorded the tracks with new vocalist Seth Gilmore and says it is working on a full-length album planned for spring 2027.

Power Trip have released “Precinct 3” and “Scavenger,” the Texas thrash-metal band’s first new music since singer Riley Gale died in 2020. The two tracks feature vocalist Seth Gilmore, who joined the group’s live lineup after its return to the stage, and serve as the band’s first recorded release since Gale’s death.

The band recorded the songs at Empire Sound in Carrollton, Texas. Guitarist Blake Ibanez and producer Jacob Hansen co-produced the tracks. Hansen has also worked with Arch Enemy, Volbeat and Amon Amarth, according to the source report.

Ibanez said “Precinct 3” began with the band asking what Gale might have wanted to write about. He described the approach as a way to honor the late singer and said the lyrics came together readily once the group settled on the idea. Gilmore described “Scavenger” as addressing people who gain a sense of importance through association with others and then misuse that influence.

Power Trip is also working on a full-length album targeted for spring 2027. The band has not announced the album’s title, track listing or a specific release date in the information provided.

A New Recording Chapter for Power Trip

The release marks a shift from Power Trip’s return to live performance to recording new material with a vocalist other than Gale. The band’s previous album, Nightmare Logic, came out in 2017; these two songs are its first new music in the years since Gale’s death. Their release gives listeners an early indication of how the group is approaching its next phase, while the planned album will be the more substantial test of that direction.

The songs also make Gale’s absence part of the story rather than presenting the new lineup as a simple continuation. Ibanez has said the band considered Gale while writing “Precinct 3,” while Gilmore’s comments describe the subject of “Scavenger.” The tracks therefore introduce both a new recording vocalist and the group’s stated intention to keep Gale’s memory in view.

From 2017 Album to New Singles

Power Trip released Nightmare Logic in 2017, nearly a decade before these new songs. Gale died in August 2020. The source report says the cause of death was pulmonary edema resulting from an accidental fentanyl overdose.

The band returned to the stage in December 2023, playing a surprise five-song set with Gilmore on lead vocals, and has continued performing since. The new single follows that live return with the first recorded material from the current lineup. It is a two-track release, not the full-length album the band says it is preparing.

““When we were writing this, we wondered what Riley would have wanted to write about.””

Album Details Still Await Announcement

The band has said a full-length is in progress and planned for spring 2027, but the source report gives no exact release date, title, track list or further details about its recording. It is also unclear whether the album will include either of the newly released songs.

The report identifies Gilmore as the vocalist on the new tracks but does not detail how songwriting and vocal duties are divided across the forthcoming album. No further statement from the band about the album’s sound or its complete lineup is included in the available information.

Live Dates and the 2027 Album

Power Trip’s reported upcoming schedule includes a show supporting Slayer in Mexico City on October 21, an appearance at Sick New World in Fort Worth, Texas, on October 24, and a performance at Pantera’s Great NOLA Trendkill in New Orleans on November 20. The dates offer further chances to hear how the group is performing with Gilmore, though the report does not say whether either new song is part of the set list.

The next major release milestone is the band’s planned full-length, currently expected in spring 2027. Until Power Trip shares additional information, its title, exact date and track details remain unannounced.
