The Metal Forge - 284 - Black Tusk (James May)

The Metal Forge®

Coming in from the swamps of Savannah, GA. this week with James May of Black Tusk. We are talking about "The Way Forward" their newest release. While often mentioned in the same weed-infused breath as Baroness and Kylesa, Black Tusk are a different beast. These swamp monsters have never strayed far from their roots in metal, sludge and punk, though their last album found them fighting just to stay afloat after bassist Jonathan Athon’s passing. The Way Forward is just that. This album charges straight-on behind their new lineup, which includes former collaborators Chris "Scary" Adams and bassist Derek Lynch. Please keep in mind that if you rate and review the show the algorithm seems to like that, and if you like the show, please share and recommend it to anyone else in your circle who likes metal. Much love and respect. MRJ.
