BLACK TUSK Premiere New Single

BLACK TUSK are debuting their new single Breath of Life with Decibel Magazine. The video was produced by Alexandra Petrovich. Breath of Life comes ahead of the band’s new album, The Way Forward, which is out April 26 on Season of Mist.

Breath of Life was a fun one to work on”, says Chris “Scary” Adams. In addition to playing guitar and contributing vocals, Scary also produced and mixed The Way Forward at his studio Hidden Audio. “There were a few iterations as we were riffing alone, but once we all got together it really took shape. That’s my favorite part about writing collaboratively. It really does come to life when everyone contributes”.

Breath of Life is a bludgeoning track that showcases the new versatility of having a second guitarist”, says bassist and vocalist Derek Lynch, who makes his debut as a member of Black Tusk on The Way Forward. “We decided to bookend the chaos with some experimental synth parts that I feel set the tone for what’s to come”.
