Following the solid Passage Through Purgatory release back in 2008, Black Tusk has created another plowing effort that often resembles Black Sabbath on amphetamines (wait, weren't they on those anyway?), but with entertaining results. With vocals that often resemble Tom G. Warrior (that's going on a lot lately) and Tom Araya meshing with a less volatile Billy Milano Taste the Sin is one of the more interesting albums of its type. While sludge is the term of endearment for the band I hear some elements of hardcore fused with a thrashy-doom feel sporadically intermixed throughout. Again, a talented trio from the U.S. makes an interesting and capable album - who'd have thought it?
