Power Trip/Manifest Decimation/Southern Lord Records/2013 CD Review


  Power  Trip  are  a  band  from  Texas  that  plays  a  mixture  of  thrash,  hardcore  and  punk  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2013  album  "Manifest  Decimation"  which  was  released  by  Southern  Lord  Records.

  Drums  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  drumming  with  some  blast  beats  being  utilized  at  times,  while  the  bass  playing  has  a  very  dark  tone  with  riffs  that  follow  the  riffing  that  are  coming  out  of  the  guitars  and  at  times  they h ave  a  very  powerful  sound  to  them.

  Rhythm  guitars  range  from  slow,  mid  paced  to  fast  riffs  that  combine  old  school  thrash  metal,  punk  and  hardcore  together  to  create  a  sound  of  their  own,  while  the  lead  guitars  are  very  old  school  sounding  punk/thrash  guitar  solos  and  leads.

  Vocals  are  mostly  crossover  style  shouts  and  yells  as  well  as  a  brief  use  of  spoken  word  samples,  while  the  lyrics  cover  violent  and  everyday  themes,  as  for  the  production  it  has  a  very  strong,  powerful,  heavy,  old  school  and  professional  sound  to  it  where  you  can  hear  all  of  the  musical  instruments  that  are  present  on t his  recording.

  In  my  opinion Power  Trip  are  a  very  great  sounding  hybrid  of  old  school  thrash  metal,  hardcore  and  punk  and  if  you  are  a f an  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Heretic's  Fork'  "Crossbreaker"  and  "Power  Trip".  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
