Swamp Metal from Nashville, TN

Blackwater Down is a rock band from Nashville, TN. Which is like saying that the '74 Dodge Challenger is a car from Detroit. While the statement is true, it fails on nearly every level to capture the power, depth and magic of the entity itself. Blackwater Down's music conjures the electric tension of a duel at high noon on main street as well as the dark danger of swirling swamp water. Big, bad-ass rock riffs made by massive, meaty bass tones, gigantic & dominating drumming, and eerily incendiary guitars support lyrics & melodies that have the grit to make you want to drink, fuck or fight. In an era of rock that's been polished to a sickening shine, Blackwater Down's brand of precious metal has a touch of patina to it. This is the kind of rock that makes you want to drive a classic Camaro through the desert at top speed, chug a bottle of whiskey & chain-smoke full-flavor cigarettes. This is the kind of rock your mama warned you about. This is Blackwater Down.
