Outburst, the New York hardcore veterans are pleased to unveil their cover of Power Trips "Executioner's Tax (Swing of the Axe)" now available via Blackout! Records. Captured live earlier this year, the single serves as a tribute to the late Riley Gale. Blackout! Records will be donating 100% of the proceeds of this digital single to the Riley Gale Foundation to support LGBTQ+ youth, animal welfare and mental health organisations around the greater Dallas area.
Outburst comment: "Thanks to the wonder of the Internet, the legend of Power Trip covering our "Intro" during their live show began to grow. With their tour rolling through Brooklyn in August of 2015, we decided to form a welcome committee, take in the Power Trip experience and say hello. The rest, as they say is history."
Outburst and Power Trip played various live shows together in 2018. With Power Trip then recording Outbursts song "When Things Go Wrong" for Blackout! Records album of Outburst covers Shit Hot Attitude in 2019. Unfortunately, in 2020 came the news that Riley Gale had passed away.
This recording of "Executioner's Tax (Swing of the Axe)" is from 1720 Warehouse in Los Angeles in April 2022 and as Outburst say "it is our heartfelt way to return the respect to Power Trip whilst paying tribute to our dear friend Riley Gale. You'll be able to hear the outpouring of love from the crowd, singing along to every word and even seizing the microphone. Thank you to 197Media for capturing these awesome live moments. Thank you Power Trip. Riley Gale forever."
