I write a lot about bands coming to Savannah, but I’ll try to say more in future posts about bands traveling from Savannah.
I don’t know if any Savannah band has been traveling as much in recent years as Black Tusk, a hard-charging metal band whose three members — Andrew Fidler, James May, and Jonathan Athon — create more sound than you’d think three people would be able to. They’ve just launched a European tour with Howl, playing 19 gigs in 24 days.
Here’s the video of “Red Eyes, Black Skies”:
Taste the Sin
For more background on the metal scene in Savannah, take a look at “Metal in the Garden of Good and Evil” from Spin in December 2009, about Black Tusk, Baroness, and Kylesa. Black Tusk’s latest Taste the Sin and other albums can be purchased through their MySpace page.
