  "account": "Power Trip, the thrash-metal band led by the late Riley Gale, have announced their return with a new double single, their first music since Gale's passing in 2020. The tracks, \"Precinct 3\" and \"Scavenger,\" can be heard via Blue Grape and will be followed by an album next spring, according to a press release. The video for \"Precinct 3\" was created by Eric Richter. Since reuniting in late 2023, Power Trip has been fronted by Seth Gilmore, a longtime friend and vocalist of the band, along with Skourge and Fugitive. Jacob Hansen handled the production of the new tracks. Founding guitarist Blake Ibanez, who co-produced the new music, shared that while writing, they contemplated what Riley would have wanted to write about. Once they decided on an approach, the lyrics flowed naturally, making it feel like the perfect start to this new chapter and a fitting tribute to Gale. Ibanez believes Gale would have been pleased to see this come to fruition.",
