*Power Trip* frontman *Riley Gale* has died.
Reports of his passing emerged on social media, with the thrash metal band confirming the news in a full statement.
Only 32 years old, Riley Gale led the politicised thrash metal force, releasing two sought after albums on Southern Lord.
A rarities compilation followed in 2018, with Power Trip releasing a bracing live album earlier in the year.
Power Trip wrote: “It is with the greatest of sadness we must announce that our lead singer and brother Riley Gale passed away last night.”
“Riley was a friend, a brother, a son. Riley was both a larger than life rock star and a humble and giving friend. He touched so many lives through his lyrics and through his huge heart. He treated everyone he met as a friend and he always took care of his friends. We will celebrate Riley’s life and never forget the great works of music, charity, and love that he left behind. You, the fans, meant so much to him, please know how special you are. If you have a memory of Riley please share it, no matter how small, as we remember him.”
