Black Tusk has finished recording its new EP that will be released sometime this Spring on Relapse Records. I'm not sure of the name, but I guarantee you there will be mad riffage. Kylesa vocalist Phillip Cope returned to produce and record the new EP, which is supposed to serve as a gateway between 2011's Set The Dial and the band's next full-length album.
The Savannah, Georgia swamp lords recently hit the road for a short run of headlining dates, followed up by a month-long run of shows with Today Is The Day, KEN mode, and Fight Amp, then a two-week run with Kvelertak and Cancer Bats.
Black Tusk is scheduled to appear next week at the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas. The band will headline the Rock Of Ages Tattoo Showcase at Yellow Jacket Social Club on Friday, March 15 with Howl and True Widow, and the official Relapse Records / Chaos in Tejas showcase with ASG, Royal Thunder, Howl, Inter Arma and Call Of The Void on Saturday March 16 at Red 7.
