Provenance & Context

The Story of the Release

Tusk II is the acclaimed sophomore studio album by Edmonton rock trio Royal Tusk, released on October 26, 2018 via Entertainment One (MNRK Heavy). Recorded at The Machine Shop in Belleville, New Jersey with producer Machine (Clutch, Lamb of God), the album channeled raw frustration, political turbulence, and social consciousness into thunderous, blues-infused heavy rock anthems. Powered by top-charted Canadian rock radio hits including 'Aftermath', 'Die Knowing', and 'First Time', Tusk II expanded the band's international profile and spurred extensive North American touring.
