Royal Tusk announce new album ‘Altruistic’

ROYAL TUSK have announced a new album!

Titled Altruistic, the upcoming album from the Canadian rock band is the follow-up to 2018’s Tusk II, and is scheduled to be released in February next year, via MNRK Music Group.

Spending nearly a year writing throughout the pandemic, the trio eventually hunkered down in Alberta’s Audio Department recording studio where they self-produced Altruistic. In the midst of the process, frontman Daniel Carriere wound up in the throes of a year-long battle to get healthy after suffering from a blood clot in his lung. He lost over 20lbs and could barely speak.

“Sandy [bassist] and Quinn [guitarist] helped me through the entire experience,” Carriere says. “These songs were written prior to this life-changing event, but they still tell a story of struggle, suffering, uncertainty, courage, and watching your back. It’s bizarre how that happened. When I think of them now, they definitely illustrate what we all went through.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Here On Out. The new song is the fourth single to be released from the upcoming album, following on from All My Life, Head Up and Relegate.

Speaking about the new song, Carriere says, “to me, the more people who resign to their fate and don’t live their true selves, the more fucked up the world becomes.”
