GA's BLACK TUSK and Wilmington, NC's ASG (Amplification of Self Gratification. Volcom Records) team up for "Low Country", a split EP of southern sludge power. Four tracks from surfer / stoner groove metal heavyweights ASG and three from swamp metallers Black Tusk, all more raw than their previous recordings. Produced by Phillip Cope (Kylesa) and beautiful cover art from John Baizley (Baroness). Look for both bands in the upcoming "Slow Southern Steel" documentary and also on the road - ASG with Fu Manchu and Black tusk with Black Cobra - in the fall. 10" vinyl format to be released soon.
