As they close out their last week of their extensive 8-week-long North American tour, Savannah, GA’s Black Tusk have unveiled a music video for their “God’s On Vacation” single from their latest album, Pillars Of Ash (January 29th, Relapse). Check out this NSFW video, directed by Alixandra Petrovich, below:

Since their formation over 10 years ago, Black Tusk have established themselves as one of the hardest working bands in rock. After four full-lengths, numerous splits and EP's and thousands of shows under their belts, the punk/metal power trio was faced with an immense and unexpected tragedy in late 2014 when founding bassist/vocalist Jonathan Athon passed away after a motorcycle accident in his hometown.

Now, as a testament to his profound and lasting legacy on the heavy music scene, the band, which also features guitarist Andrew Fidler and drummer James May with Corey Barhorst now on bass, are releasing Pillars Of Ash, the culmination of three brothers-in-arms' blood, sweat and tears, and is Black Tusk's finest accomplishment to date.  

Pillars Of Ash tracklisting:

“God's On Vacation”
“Desolation Of Endless Times”
“Bleed On Your Knees”
“Born Of Strife”
“Damned In The Ground”
“Beyond The Divide”
“Black Tide”
