Tusk is the sixth album by the New Zealand noise rock band the Dead C, released in 1997 through Siltbreeze.[2][3] Many of its songs were edited and trimmed from longer jams.[4]

Critical reception

The Sunday Times wrote: "On the 11-minute 'Head' and the similarly expansive title track, simple riffs are pounded out by the usual guitar, bass and drums line-up, but the Dead C steer an identifiably structured course through the sort of freeform feedback most bands of the ilk would simply surrender to."[5]
