“The Black Swamp bring you sludge metal from South East Queensland, Australia.”
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. An act not to be missed.
“It’s all doom gloom and sludge, but with a subtle southern rock edge that makes it catchier then a stomach flu. Think in the ballpark of the first Down album, early High On Fire, with a smattering of Clutch and Crowbar thrown in for good measure and you’re starting to get there.” — Ragged Press
