Texas metal favourites POWER TRIP threw out a surprise this week – Live In Seattle 05.28.18 was issued through Dark Operative, and is now streaming for free. It’s been an absurd couple of weeks and all of us have been feeling the sting of this new harsh reality. What better way to channel all that…
