Relapse Records has signed Savannah, Georgia's Black Tusk. The band formed in 2005 and saw the release of their debut full-length, Passage Through Purgatory, last year via Hyperrealist. The band most recently released a series of split 7-inches with ASG, The Holy Mountain and Fight Amp.

Check out some music on their MySpace page.

savannah should also have better venues. the pink palace had some good bands come through but that was a while ago. sweet melissas is okay, but i never hear of anything good playing there.

Black Tusk are good. Learned about them when they opened for baroness a few years ago. The drummer is pretty badass.
