This year’s Power of the Riff West really fucking outdid itself with positive vibes & way beyond insane music. What makes this day so rad is how no matter the age of the people there, or what tribe of heavy music they belong to, you just can’t escape the true power of the riffage. CVLT Nation would like to salute Greg, Sam and everyone involved that made this event happen, because there is nothing else like it in Los Angeles. We were super lucky that our comrade in photography, Adam Murray, was on hand to capture the whole affair with his magical lens. So today, peep Part One of our Power of the Riff West photo essay, featuring Nausea, DNF, XIBALBA, POWER TRIPS, ANCESTORS, ALPHA OMEGA, GAZA, EAGLE TWIN, LEWD ACTS, NOOTHGRUSH & DEPISE YOU…Let the madness begin after the jump! Stay tuned for CVLT Nation filmed footage coming your way soon…Stay tuned for The Power of the Riff EAST 9-1 & 9-2!!!
