POWER TRIP Premieres Video For “Executioner's Tax (Swing Of The Axe)”
March 28, 2017, 7 years ago
Texas' Power Trip has released their official video for "Executioner's Tax (Swing Of The Axe)". The band continues to tour the planet in support of their Nightmare Logic LP, as they are currently torching the West Coast of North America and will head to Europe in the coming weeks.
Power Trip's new video for "Executioner's Tax (Swing Of The Axe)" takes us front and centre, into the eye of what is guaranteed to be a perfect storm time and time again. The footage, captured at a spirited hometown show in Dallas melts with clips of political propaganda which encompass vocalist Riley Gale's lyrics that hone in on the devaluation of human life by those who've gained power through money and politics. The video was directed by Andy Capper (Vice, Noisey) with director of photography Joel Pront, and editor Andrew Betsch.
After a wild, sold out East Coast/Midwest tour, Power Trip is currently taking over West Coast this month with Destruction Unit. Highlights include Los Angeles, Portland, Denver, Vancouver, and more just before they head to Europe with Napalm Death and Brujeria. Check below for a full list of dates.
