Black Tusk News

After two decades, Black Tusk are still blazing ahead hard and fast. The sludge metal veterans just released their seventh album of heavy, no-frills riffs behind a new-yet-familiar lineup.

Black Tusk came roaring out of the Savannah swamplands nearly twenty years ago, but they aren’t looking back anytime soon. The sludge metal veterans just released their seventh album of heavy, no-frills riffs behind the strength of their new-yet-familiar lineup. Now, they’re blazing ahead with a tour of North America to support The Way Forward.

BLACK TUSK came roaring out of the Savannah swamplands nearly twenty years ago, but the sludge metal veterans aren’t looking back anytime soon. On their seventh album, The Way Forward, the band blaze full steam into the future behind the force of their new yet familiar lineup.

Black Tusk are debuting their new single “Breath of Life” with Decibel Magazine. The video was produced by Alexandra Petrovich. “Breath of Life” comes ahead of the band’s new album, The Way Forward, which is out April 26 on Season of Mist.

Nearly two decades in, Black Tusk are blazing full speed ahead with a new album that relies more on what these metal punks do best: heavy, no-frills riffing backed by rough and rowdy gang vocals.  

Black Tusk have done more than their fair share of hard living. In their 19 years as a band, they’ve switched labels and lost members while navigating the bumps in the road that come with being touring musicians. But their new album bulldozes past any and all obstacles. The latest single off The Way Forward leaves the taste for sin behind, though that doesn’t mean this sludge metal crew have cleaned up their act. “Dance on Your Grave” sounds nastier than ever.

BLACK TUSK go way back. Guitarist Andrew Fidler and drummer James May both grew up  down in the swamps of Savannah, Georgia, where they’ve been banging heads together for the past 19 years.

God is going on vacation. Not only are BLACK TUSK working on a new album, they’re bringing good times and mutilation to eight U.S. cities this fall.
