    AMATEUR CONCERT PHOTOGRAPHY HOUR: BLACK TUSK/Whores/WhiteNails @ Lee’s Palace, August 20, 2018

    Black Tusk and Whores brought the energy up from Georgia to put a heavy end to the start of the week–with a solid supporting act straight outta Quebec!

  • Black Tusk – TCBT

    Black Tusk – TCBT

    A bit of a new look for Black Tusk on this one, as this Georgia trio puts out its first new record since replacing the late Johnathan Athon with ex-Kylesa bassist Corey Barhorst. But while the lead singer might have changed, the song largely remains the same—despite some slight variations, their brand of thrashy, sludgy…

  • Black Tusk – Pillars of Ash

    Black Tusk – Pillars of Ash

    Not entirely sure if this is to be Black Tusk’s final album—bassist/vocalist Johnathan Athon tragically passed away weeks after it was recorded. They’ve replaced him with a guy who used to play in Kylesa, and are hitting the road in March, so whether or not it’s the end of the band’s legacy, Pillars of Ash…

  • Black Tusk – Tend No Wounds

    Hellbound Metal: “Bottom line, if you enjoy the Georgia sludge sounds of Black Tusk, this’ll certainly whet your appetite.”

    It’s been a long time, but here’s what happened this week on Witchfinder Radio. Find out more about the show by heading to http://www.facebook.com/witcfhinderradio

  • Clamfight – I Vs. the Glacier

    Overall, this is a pretty solid sludge record. Nothing that I haven’t really heard before, but these guys do it fairly well.

  • Kowloon Walled City – Container Ships

    Kowloon Walled City – Container Ships

    Though they’re named after an opulent area of Hong Kong, this band hails from San Fran, across the Pacific Ocean. And after their self-released debut record generated a bit of a buzz three years back, KWC has signed with Brutal Panda for this, their sophomore release—35 and a half minutes of punishing post-sludge.

  • Baroness – Yellow & Green

    Baroness – Yellow & Green

    Yellow & Green by Baroness is arguably one of the richest and most diverse albums you are going to hear this year. It is certainly the most ambitious musical undertaking by Baizley and Co yet, but they manage to pull it off without a hitch. Production-wise it’s a little too retro for my taste, but…

  • Corrosion of Conformity – self-titled

    COC has a new album coming out and, as Gruesome Greg says, “this is some good shit!”

  • Black Tusk – Set the Dial

    “These guys have definitely got the Georgia sound (Kylesa, Baroness, Zoroaster et al), though they mould it into shorter, faster and maybe not quite as loud tunes. Still better than most.”
