Black Tusk

We already mentioned that Georgia swamp-metal lifers Black Tusk have a new album called Pillars of Ash on the way from Relapse on January 29. Now the band, always road warriors, have a bunch of tour dates to go along with that release (the first since the tragic death of founding member Jonathan Athon).

The extensive tour will feature support from Royal Thunder and Bask on one leg and Holy Grail on another. The latter leg will stop by NYC for a show at Saint Vitus on 2/27, with opener Blackest. Tickets for that show are on sale now.

Black Tusk have also shared a second song from Pillars of Ash. It’s called “Born of Strife,” and it’s, well, a Black Tusk song. Which is to say, it rips. Stream that, and check out all tour dates, below…
