Biography

Emerging from Savannah, Georgia in 2005, Black Tusk is known for their "swamp metal" sound, blending dirty punk, sludgy heavy metal, and a Motörhead influence. The trio of Andrew Fidler, Jonathan Athon, and James May released several self-issued albums before signing with Relapse Records for their 2010 album Taste the Sin. After Athon's passing in 2014, the band continued with Cory Barhorst on bass, releasing Pillars of Ash in 2016. Black Tusk shifted to Season of Mist for their 2018 release T.C.B.T. and returned as a quartet for 2024's The Way Forward.

Black Tusk's sound is characterized by its intensity, murkiness, and a blend of influences from bands like Baroness and High on Fire. The band's early releases, including When Kingdoms Fall and The Fallen Kingdom, showcased their heavy, driving style. After gaining attention through tours with bands like Weedeater and Pentagram, they signed with Relapse Records and continued their prolific output with albums like Set the Dial and EPs like Tend No Wounds. Despite tragic losses and lineup changes, Black Tusk has persevered, evolving their sound and maintaining a strong presence in the metal scene.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low
How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
