This show begins a brutalizing tour alongside Foreseen HKI and Red Death with shows in Richmond, Raleigh, Washington DC, Boston, Warren, Brooklyn and Amityville through August 8th.

Surging with a modernized translation of the works of mandatory pioneers Nuclear Assault, the Cro-Mags and Leeway, POWER TRIP‘s Southern Lord-released debut LP Manifest Decimation hurtles the band’s “steel, speed and destruction” ethos direct at the jugular with crossover intensity that sounds like it was excavated from a 1987 time capsule with sixteen tons of radioactive dynamite. With nearly thirty-five minutes of thrashing violence, Manifest Decimation wages war on all in its earshot, much like the POWER TRIP name has become synonymous with in the wake of their extreme live shows.
