‘Revenant‘ is the first musical output from Black Swamp Water in more than two years. The name of the song means “one who returns”, and this is exactly what the band showcases on this single, both musically and literally as a band. Musically the song’s opening hard ‘n’ heavy riffing climaxes in a soaring power metal chorus, and literally the band has been through several significant line-up changes before finding a working formula once again… Truly a rebirth!

Black Swamp Water is old-school hard rock and heavy metal with obvious references to the bands like Black Sabbath, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Corrosion Of Conformity and with a howdy to the southern rock scene.
The Tue Madsen produced- & mixed debut album ‘Chapter One‘ from 2016 gave the band a reputation as a highly energetic live act with great reviews and airplays to follow on both MyRock and National Danish Radio.
Two years after the debut album Black Swamp Water was ready to release their second album ‘Distant Thunder‘ to the world. An album rich on strong hooks, groovy vibes and southern rock-inspired riffs. With 11 songs recorded/mixed/mastered by Christian Bonde Sørensen at CB Studios and produced by him and the band themselves Black Swamp Water is ready to set another mark on the hard rock and metal scene coming from Denmark.
Since then, the band faced some line-up changes, with Kim Langkjær Jensen, former drummer of death metal bands Dawn of Demise, Illdisposed and Koldborn, leaving the fold to concentrate on other projects. Kenneth Vissing Munch (ex-Nothing Less, Sicment) was appointed as the new drummer. Bassist Bjørn Bølling Nyholm and guitarist Thomas Roland were also recruited.
Line-up:
Bjørn Bølling Nyholm – bass, lead vocals
Thomas Roland – guitar, backing vocals
Jan Geert – guitar
Kenneth Vissing Munch – drums
