“Mind-blowingly fun” – BrooklynVegan

Passage through purgatory was a really good album. Hope this won't disappoint. I'll listen to this later.

Did John Baizley (Baroness) do the artwork for this? Looks pretty similar.

Black Tusk


Baroness

Baizley has done most of black tusk's artwork

listening now.

Just listened to this album start to finish. I like it

Anyone go to the show at the Middle East last night? I missed it.

Nick from Razormaze went and said they ruled!

i would have gone if the tuesday NH show wasnt canceled.

I went to the Fu Manchu show that they opened and Black Tusk was awesome. I had never heard them before the show but from the second they started playing I was headbanging. These guys have great stage presence and the bass player has a beard that could make him an easy replacement for Dusty Hill if he ever leaves ZZ Top.

As a side note, Fu Manchu also ruled hard that night. They played a killer cover of "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult.

yea blacktusk killed it. awesome band, awesome dudes, you can't not headbang to this shit. we've played with them a few times before and always hang out when we make it down to savannah/they make it up here.
