Genre: Metal
The Savannah scene has produced so many great bands you'd be excused for thinking that sludge is in the water there, but there's no excuse for overlooking BLACK TUSK. Comparisons of 'Taste The Sin' to bands BLACK TUSK considers brothers only tell part of the tale; the band's sophomore release and first for Relapse Records rips into you with locomotive riffing and powerful percussion, creating a furious display that incorporates the fury of punk and the precision of thrash metal within a familiar Southern-fried landscape. If 'Taste the Sin' is wrong, you won't want to be right!
“This power trio -- the rising star of Savannah's metal underground -- mix heavy metal and hardcore sounds into a frightening blast of hellfire, or, as the band calls it, "swamp metal."”

“Black Tusk is a feral trio that proudly displays their punk, metal, thrash and
sludge influences on their studded denim jackets, making quite a name of
themselves throughout... backwaters as a hard-touring, heavy-hitting act

“BlackTusk: another treat from Savannah’s fine metal cannon, are prepared to die
for their art – and they’re happy for you to watch.
