The new 3-track live session – recorded with Gallows'
producer Steve Sears – is released on 8th November 20019
"It's an open secret that Tuskar need to be be
experienced live. This proves, however, they'll crush you in the comfort of
your living room, too."
KKKK, KERRANG!
"For being relative newcomers to the game—Tuskar formed
in 2016—The Tide, Beneath, The Wall is a big step forward for the band, who are
ones to watch."
DECIBEL MAGAZINE
"The Milton Keynes
sludge duo get even heavier on their second EP […] bolstering thick riffs with
genuinely inventive drumming.”
METAL HAMMER
"YOU’RE NUCLEAR SLUDGE! GREAT NAME! IT’S SCORCHED INTO
MY BRAIN!"
PANDORA, KERRANG!
Signed to one of the UK’s leading purveyors of psych, doom
and stoner rock in Riff Rock Records, Tuskar – Milton Keynes' most sulphurous
“Nuclear Sludge” duo – returned in 2018 with one of the year's most critically
acclaimed EPs, The Tide, Beneath, The Wall.
No longer new to the fold, despite having only formed in
2016, for vocalist/drummer Tyler Hodges and guitarist Tom Dimmock, The Tide,
Beneath, The Wall marked a significant shift in perspective. Recorded by
Slabdragger’s Sam Thredder it ushered in a sea change in scope and sound,
which, over three chapters captured punishing progressive sludge and savage,
sub-world vistas. Soundscapes shaped by moments of dark brooding doom and
relentlessly riff-heavy and psychedelically charged movements.
For Hodges and Dimmock the chemistry they share is
unshakeable, both live and in the studio, having grown up together listening to
the likes of Conan, Sleep and Darkthrone. Still in their twenties both bring an
unmistakable energy and ferocity that has marked them out as UK Sludge Metal's
most exiting prospects.
This November the boys are back with an EP to showcase just
how ferocious they can truly be. Recorded with Gallows' producer Steve Sears,
The Monolith Sessions features four tracks of electric, live-wire sludge that
for the first time really captures the band's spirit and sound away from the
studio.
Released on 8th November 2019, the EP can be pre-ordered in
advance directly from Riff Rock Records.

"Like a mad geologist’s spare room, this short record
is crammed full of all kinds of species of metal and rock, cramped together in
a powerful, multifaceted lump of heaviness."
ECHOES AND DUST
"A deep sonic voyage through extreme virtuosity; like
early Mastodon, The Melvins and Ufomammut."

best EP’s released this year but one of the best records as well."
