POWER TRIP KICK OFF NORTH AMERICAN TOUR TONIGHT


POWER TRIP BILLBOARD - "the best they've sounded, the tightest representation of their no-holds-barred thrash attack that pummels you into dirt for 32 frenzied minutes straight, without so much as a 10-second breather"

LOUDWIRE - "one of the best live acts of the modern day"

PITCHFORK - BEST NEW MUSIC: "You don't need to be a metalhead to have a blast with Nightmare Logic... Power Trip's fist-pumping choruses, ricocheting grooves, and ample charm are so animated that they leave us with something addictive and, well, fun."

NPR - "possesses a certain monolithic quality Lemmy would admire: a massive rawness and a sludgy, heavy hopelessness that thrashes with punk immediacy and metal intricacy...it's a track preparing for war"

THE NEW YORKER - "one of the most highly anticipated records in aggressive music in recent memory"

NIGHTMARE LOGIC OUT NOW VIA SOUTHERN LORD!

POWER TRIP kick off their massive North American tour tonight in Little Rock just before they hop on supporting Obituary and Exodus throughout September and October. In November the road warriors continue on through the end of the year with Cannibal Corpse in support of their latest critically acclaimed album, Nightmare Logic.

Highlights include NYC's Music Hall of Williamsburg, Aftershock Festival, Austin's Sound on Sound, Chicago, Seattle and so many more. POWER TRIP also play the inaugural Loudwire Music Awards in Los Angeles. They've been nominated for Metal Artist of the Year, Metal Album of The Year and Best Metal Song of the Year; you can still vote here!

Nightmare Logic, POWER TRIP's most powerful effort yet and one the year's smartest and most crucial releases to spawn from the rock, metal and punk scenes. Their sophomore release does not disappoint. With hooks and tightness comparable to greats like Metallica, Pantera, or Pentagram, POWER TRIP punishes fans not only sonically but with pure songwriting skill.
