Album Description The Savannah scene has produced so many great bands you'd be excused for thinking that sludge is in the water there, but there's no excuse for overlooking BLACK TUSK. Comparisons of 'Taste The Sin' to bands BLACK TUSK considers brothers only tell part of the tale; the band's sophomore release and first for Relapse Records rips into you with locomotive riffing and powerful percussion, creating a furious display that incorporates the fury of punk and the precision of thrash metal within a familiar Southern-fried landscape. If 'Taste the Sin' is wrong, you won't want to be right! Similar CDs

CD ReviewsIf You Miss Remission Era Mastodon, This Band is For You Oliverio Casas | Montevideo, Uruguay | 07/01/2010 (4 out of 5 stars) "It's and inevitable reality of the music business that applies to any genre. As soon as an original band comes along and becomes popular, soundalikes seem to sprout around it like mushrooms, and what's worse, labels go on a signing frenzy that ultimately kills whatever made that particular sound fresh in the first place. Whether these latecomer bands are legitimately pushing the same sound or just jump into a bandwagon is always a matter of debate, and much to their chagrin, Black Tusk will be probably lumped into the second group regardless of their musical merits.
Relapse Records has been pushing this trio from Savannah, Georgia as "Mastodon's back-water brethren" and that description is more than accurate: Black Tusk does sound a lot like the aforementioned band in their early albums. This is not to say that they're completely unoriginal or just another clone band: Black Tusk's take on the groovy sludge sound that Mastodon popularized with Remission is dirtier and groovier, without harmonized guitar leads and a much bigger southern rock influence, especially notable on Way of Horse and Bow. So ultimately, whether you like this band or not will depend on how much you miss Mastodon before they discovered the joys of prog rock while recording Blood Mountain and how burnt out you are by the relative glut of bands currently pursuing this sound. If you enjoy Bison BC, Baroness, Howl and Kylesa, you'll probably enjoy this album too. " |
