THE BLACKWATER FEVER: EPK

“Hey mate, who’s this up next?“

“What! Have u been livin’ under a rock!” The other exclaims and proceeds to scull the last of his beer. With the dregs still dripping from his impressive beard he proclaims… “The Blackwater Fever! Bloody brace yourself!”

Instantly a thick electric guitar tone fills the festival tent like surging swamp water from a Mississippi hurricane. Thunderous drums pound and crack as if the sound system was struck by lighting. An organ spins a heavy swirl like some wicked preacher summoning his devilish church. And that primal howl… Does this man eat bitumen for breakfast?!

All this glorious and raucous sound compels the burly man to throw down his can, raise his size 12 boot… and then perfectly timed to the next down beat he… STOMPED ON IT!!!

…and in that moment the term ‘Can Crusher’ was coined. 😉

“DARK RIVER OF VITRIOLIC ROCK ’N’ ROLL”

 
Whether it’s the prog-rock, hypnotic slow burning opus Angler… The poetic, atmospheric imagery of murder ballad’s Ode To Ol’ John Doe and If You Only Knew… the late night rock n’ roll drive of Love Is Strange, or the punk/ grunge molotov cocktail of Everything Always. This is an album packed tight with creative hooks, sharp turns and dynamism. The Blackwater Fever’s 6th studio album, sees the power trio leapfrogging genres with their distinctive sonic aesthetic.
