BLACK TUSK @ MOE’S ORIGINAL BAR B QUE 4/02/12 ENGLEWOOD-CO

Black Tusk are a sludge metal band from Georgia, formed in the mid 00’s they have branded their style as “Swamp Metal” stoner rock mixed with dirty, low-fi punk. With relentless percussion, buzzing bass tones, violent heavy bottom-end riffs and screamed vocals they create raw, cathartic sludge with more of a punk rock attitude. All of their three albums are excellent “Passage Through Purgatory” “Taste Of Sin” and “Set The Dial” Pure abrasive Southern swamp boogie metal!
