Texas hardcore thrashers Power Trip released the album Nightmare Logic earlier this year. And on his show The Five on Wednesday (Dec. 6), Greg Gutfeld, Fox News’ resident music head, played their thrash tune “Executioner’s Tax (Swing of the Axe)” from it and name-dropped the band. The band were not so happy about it. See below via Pitchfork.

Apparently @greggutfeld digs @powertriptx as he just named dropped them on @TheFive. Also, Nightmare Logic is one of the best albums of 2017. https://t.co/Z8y9Bmk4hb

Check out the song, which features the lyrics “You buy in for the privilege, to know what lies beyond/ Death hides behind veiled faces/ It only takes one swing, and you’re gone.”
