Hear track from 5th album Pillars Of Ash - out January 29

Black Tusk have issued a stream of their track Desolation In Endless Times.

It’s taken from their fifth album Pillars Of Ash, which is out on January 29 via Relapse Records.

It’ll be the Georgia outfit’s first full-length since the death of founding bassist Jonathan Athon. He died from injuries sustained in a motorcycle crash in 2014. The album features Athon’s final recordings with the band.

Guitarist Andrew Fidler and drummer James May recruited former Kylesa bassist Corey Barhorst for their live shows. They’ll head out on a North American tour later this month.

Pillars Of Ash is available for pre-order.
