Thrash band Power Trip came to a sudden halt when their frontman Riley Gale tragically passed away from a fentanyl overdose in August 2020.

The band had initially said they didn't know what their future held without Gale, but by February 2024, they welcomed Seth Gilmore on vocals and started playing several shows.

They kicked off their new era with an opening slot for Pantera, which brought some controversy as Gale vocalised his distaste for Phil Anselmo after allegations of Nazism and racism.

Despite this, Power Trip is now powering through regardless and has signed to Blue Grape Music's record label.

In a statement posted to the label's socials, Blue Grape Music said: "We're stoked to announce [Power Trip] are joining the Blue Grape Music crew." The band joins Spiritual Cramp, Fugitive, Silly Goose, Superheaven, and more on Blue Grape Music's roster.

With Power Trip now signed with a new record label, fans can expect new music from the band soon.

Blue Grape Music is an independent record label based in New York City with some European operations based in Amsterdam, created by two former Roadrunner Record employees David Roth – who was head of A&R – and Cees Wessels – the founder himself.
