BLACK TUSK Signs With SEASON OF MIST

March 14, 2018

Season Of Mist has announced the signing of BLACK TUSK. The heavy-duty trio from Savannah, Georgia has entered the Garage Savannah to record its forthcoming sixth studio album; jointly produced with Aphelion. Mixing will lie in the hands of engineer and long-time collaborator Chris "Scary" Adams while Brad Boatright has been chosen for the mastering.

BLACK TUSK comments: "After more than a decade of pushing through as a band, we have opened a new chapter and are ready and excited for everyone to hear it."

When BLACK TUSK first hit the streets with its debut EP, "When Kingdoms Fall", in the year 2005, the band had grown out of the Savannah scene but right from the start with its own twist. The three-piece consisting of guitarist Andrew, Athon on bass, and drummer James with all sharing vocal duties added a dash of punk as well as a viscous heaviness and groove to the Savannah school of rock that some critics compared with various stoner and sludge outfits.

Flanked by further EPs, split singles and demos, BLACK TUSK steadily expanded both in reach and number of die-hard followers with each successive album, "The Fallen Kingdom" (2007),"Passage Through Purgatory" (2008),"Taste The Sin" (2010),"Set The Dial" (2011) and "Pillars Of Ash" (2016). Partly responsible for their success, are the strong live shows of the trio, which garnered early attention on tour with such heavy-weights as BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, DOWN, WEEDEATER and EYEHATEGOD. Meanwhile, the band has toured and performed at most major metal festivals both at home and overseas.

BLACK TUSK's latest full-length, "Pillars Of Ash", sadly had to appear posthumously for one member as the band had tragically lost their charismatic bass player Athon through a motorcycle accident. With a heavy heart, BLACK TUSK decided to honor Athon's memory by carrying on and recruited veteran musician and already longtime friend Corey Barhorst to take over his duties on the low end.

BLACK TUSK is:

Andrew Fidler: guitar, vocals
Corey Barhorst: bass, vocals
James May: drums, vocals
