Power Trip return with ‘Precinct 3’ and ‘Scavenger,’ their first new songs of the post-Riley Gale era

Power Trip have released **“Precinct 3”** and **“Scavenger”**, the band’s first newly recorded material since the death of frontman Riley Gale in 2020. The double single is out through Blue Grape Music, with an Eric Richter-directed video accompanying “Precinct 3.”

The tracks mark the recorded debut of vocalist Seth Gilmore, a longtime friend of the group who also fronts Skourge and Fugitive. Guitarist Blake Ibanez co-produced the sessions with Jacob Hansen, while the core lineup of Ibanez, Nick Stewart, Chris Whetzel and Chris Ulsh remains intact.

Ibanez has framed the songs as both a continuation and a carefully considered new chapter, keeping Gale’s writing instincts and legacy in mind rather than treating the comeback as a reset. That balance is audible in the clipped, percussive riffing and hardcore-driven momentum that defined Power Trip’s earlier records.

A new full-length Power Trip album is planned for spring 2027. Until then, the two-track release offers the first concrete picture of how the band sounds with Gilmore at the microphone.
