BLACK TUSK’s most recent album, Pillars Of Ash, was released this past January via Relapse. Check out the band’s (NSFW) video for the lead single “God’s On Vacation”, directed by Alixandra Petrovich, now on Vevo and YouTube here.
Pillars Of Ash can be streamed in its entirety via Bandcamp here.
Info/Bio:
Since the band’s formation over 10 years ago, BLACK TUSK have established themselves as one of the hardest working bands in rock. After four full-lengths, numerous splits and EP’s and thousands of shows under their belts, the punk/metal power trio was faced with an immense and unexpected tragedy in late 2014 when founding bassist/vocalist Jonathan Athon passed away after a motorcycle accident in his hometown. Now, as a testament to his profound and lasting legacy on the heavy music scene, the band has released Pillars of Ash, the culmination of three brothers-in-arms’ blood, sweat, and tears and BLACK TUSK’s finest accomplishment to date.
