"Set The Dial" is a CD by the American sludge metal band Black Tusk, released via the renowned heavy-music label Relapse Rec. This album delivers a dense, aggressive sound that fuses sludge, punk, and crust elements into short, hard-hitting tracks full of driving riffs, massive bass, and raw shouted vocals. The songs create an atmosphere of urgency and grit, with mid-tempo grooves that alternate with faster outbursts, giving the record a relentless, propulsive flow. Lyrically and sonically, "Set The Dial" evokes images of desolate landscapes, nocturnal highways, and a harsh, industrial world, making it a fitting soundtrack for fans of dark, energetic metal that never loses its catchiness.
As a CD edition, "Set The Dial" is designed for listeners who value a tangible, collectible format, including proper sound dynamics and the feel of a physical release.
