The World Dies in Real Time. Cities drown in propaganda. Children inherit ash. Every channel broadcasts fear while the war machine feeds itself endlessly beneath fluorescent skies… and through the collapse comes the soundtrack for crumbling empires.
Since taking off in 2008, Dallas thrash juggernauts Power Trip, have cemented themselves as one of the most prolific crossover staples in metal, punk and hardcore scenes worldwide. Their raw energy, musical proficiency, perfect song structure, fierce riffs and persecution have won fans over, time and time again. With longtime friend and collaborator Seth Gilmore (Skourge, Fugitive) now at the helm, the band are ready to bring new music and their dynamic live show to the masses like only Power Trip can.
For the 3rd annual INFEST, we bring forth the uncontested force of crossover destruction ⚔️ POWER TRIP ⚔️ This is music for burned-out futures.
For the sleepless masses trapped in nightmare logic and endless violence.

KRUELTY
Day One | Fan Park
September 4th, 2026
For the 3rd annual INFEST, we welcome the unrelenting force of KRUELTY from Japan — architects of absolute collapse and devastation for a world already rotting beneath its own weight.
Emerging from Japan’s underground with suffocating death/doom riffs, crushing hardcore in an atmosphere soaked in despair. Their sound is the echo of a collapsing society, empty faith, and humanity’s final breath decomposing in real time.
A confrontation with the unbearable truth.
A descent into nihilism, isolation, and the darkness waiting at the end of all things.

DEAD HEAT
Day One | Fan Park
September 4th, 2026
The extermination campaign continues as California crossover executioners DEAD HEAT descend upon the 3RD ANNUAL INFEST for a full-scale assault of hardcore fury and thrash thrash forged in violence and speed.
DEAD HEAT bring the sound of urban decay,straight to the INFEST battlefield. Influenced by the chaos and apocalyptic warfare of World at War in a Process of Elimination and the merciless aggression of Certain Death. This will be an all-out sonic purge with blistering speed, militant aggression, and complete audio extermination.
PREPARE FOR TOTAL ELIMINATION.
