Black Tusk is not the only Savannah-based metal band to face vehicular-based tragedy in the last year or so: while their own bass player Jonathan Athon
lost his life in a motorcycle accident in late 2014, fellow Georgians
Baroness collectively survived a
tour bus crash, only for two of their members to have to bow out of the band due to critical spinal injuries afterward. But whereas there is a certain amount of resigned pathos to be found on the latter's new
Purple album,
Black Tusk come roaring back pissed and looking for a fight as ever on new single, "Desolation of Endless Times".
