BLACK TUSK goes way back. Guitarist Andrew Fidler and drummer James May both grew up in Savannah, Georgia (USA), where they met 19 years ago. Although often associated with bands as famous or infamous as Baroness and Kylesa, BLACK TUSK is a different beast. This swamp creature has never strayed from its metal, sludge, and punk roots, even if their previous album saw them fighting to stay afloat after the death of bassist Jonathan Athon. This new album, ‘The Way Forward,’ gets straight to the point, building on a new lineup that sees the return of guitarist Chris "Scary" Adams and bassist Derek Lynch. Together, they pave the way forward, leaning more into what BLACK TUSK does best: delivering powerful, sticky, and catchy music. After almost 20 years, BLACK TUSK’s career is more promising than ever.
For fans of WEEDEATER, EYEHATEGOD, MASTODON, HIGH ON FIRE.
