BLACK SWAMP WATER – Chapter One 2016

The debut album “Chapter One” is written with the same energetic approach to rock music – but the band has matured and garnered valuable live experience in the past 2 years (at Royal Metal Fest 2016 at Voxhall/Atlas in Aarhus, a.o.), and (other than the power rock songs) this has made room for more calm, thoughtful songs and passages on the 11 track album.

With this album, the band brings all of their musical inspirations to the table to make the most diverse record possible – a record which is also shock full of grindingly heavy tunes and pure kickass rock ‘n’ roll. In that respect, the goal of the recording is to take the listener on a musical journey through everything from fast and loud to mellow and acoustic – something that is a dying art in this day and age where singles, streams and downloads rule.

The album is mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Antfarm Studio), whose characteristic drum sound is in high standing with particularly drummer Kim Langkjær Jensen. Kim started his drumming career in various death metal bands, such as Dawn of Demise and Koldborn, and he made Tue Madsen’s acquaintance while playing and recording with Danish death metal legends Illdisposed. Other than Kim, the band consists of singer Bjørn Bølling Nyholm, bass player Jeppe Birch Friis, and the two guitarists Jan Geert and Martin Lykke Hansen.
