7 Songs That Foreshadowed Awful Events

7. Power Trip - Waiting Around To Die

In 2017, Power Trip burst on the scene seemingly as the last best hope for 21st century thrash metal. Having formed in 2008 in their native Dallas, the energetic and spirited thrash group went on a trailblazing run across the States, highlighted by staggering live shows and great studio albums. It wasn’t until their 2017 breakthrough album though, ‘Nightmare Logic’, that the wheels of momentum started to turn.

‘Nightmare Logic’ became one of the best selling thrash albums of the entire decade, helping Power Trip to pick up Billboard chart features and a Grammy nomination. Despite the record’s success, one of the lesser known songs featured on the album titled ‘Waiting Around to Die’, would prove to be closer to the truth than anyone would have liked. Lyrics such as ‘If I don’t force your hand, it could cost you your life’ and ‘You say the future’s yours, I say your future is filled with rot’ took on a gut wrenching new meaning following the sudden death of the band’s vocalist, Riley Gale, in 2020.

Power Trip have not released any new material since the passing of Gale or announced a new vocalist, but have teased a return on social media in recent weeks.
