Savannah, Georgia's BLACK TUSK will enter the Jam Room studio (BARONESS, BAND OF HORSES, KYLESA, WITHERED) in Columbia, South Carolina today (Monday, January 11) with engineers Jay Matheson and Steve Slavich to begin recording the band's new album, tentatively titled "Taste The Sin", for a spring/summer release via Relapse Records. Songtitles set to appear on the follow-up to "Passage Through Purgatory" include "Unleash The Wrath", "Double Clutchin, Part 1", "Redline, Part 2", "The Take Off, Part 3" and "The Ride, Part 4".

BLACK TUSK recently announced a handful of U.S. tour dates which will see the trio headline several shows in addition to joining SKELETONWITCH, IRON AGE and HOWL in select cities.

BLACK TUSK was featured in the December 2009 issue of Spin magazine along with labelmates BARONESS as part of a story on Savannah's burgeoning metal scene.

Formed in 2005, BLACK TUSK released its full-length debut, "Passage Through Purgatory", in 2008 via Hyperrealist. The band more recently issued a series of split seven-inch singles, including those with ASG, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN and FIGHT AMP.
