Beginning as a live act in 2012, The Black Swamp summon sludge and stoner laced riffs reminiscent of the 70's and 90's. The four piece slither between Iommi infused doom and Vinnie-Paul groove throwing out a brand of metal made for nodding heads and emptying beers.

Over the last 10+ years, they’ve peddled 3 independent releases, pushing their brand around the country on their own national tours, various festival appearances as well as earning coveted support slots with international acts such as Beastwars, Black Label Society, Bongzilla, Crowbar, Eyehategod, Hellyeah & Stöner, to name a few.

The band’s off-kilter approach to their artwork brought them Music Video of the Year at the Gold Coast Music Awards, and they’ve had a sludge ridden stout brewed in their name, partnered with Bacchus Brewing Co. 

The Black Swamp will be hitting the studio in 2024 to build on from where the highly regarded EP “Witches” left off, with a new LP of riff-centric heavy music. 

Ultimately, live is where the Swamp thrives. You can catch a full set online from Mo’s Desert TV, or better yet, witness their serpentine riffage live at *insert show here*!

May thy riffs runneth over!

"With a frontman who oozes all the things a frontman should and backed by a band of again seemingly effortless and talented musicians, they never fail to have crowds in the palm of their hands or held in place by their gazing stare as they become one with their sound and deliver not only a performance but an energy and vibration that mesmerises those watching" - HEAVY MAG
