This page was created by devoted fan "DJ_Machine" and is not maintained by the band. Unfortunately the Swamp Terrorists are no longer together but even today their music still remains unsurpassed by the times.
The Swamp Terrorists are a Swiss electro-industrial music group that was started in the late 1980s by synthesizer programmer STR, (of Band Berne Crematoire, Nacht-Raum, and Strangler of the Swamp fame) and vocalist Ane H, (formerly of Tierstein), who met at a Strangler/Tierstein show. Swamp Terrorist music is harsh pounding electro mixed with grinding metal guitar riffs (which is usually sampled from other heavy metal bands), and produces a sound similar to nothing you've ever heard.
The original line-up consisted of STR, Ane H, and guitarist Francis H, who left after the release of their first EP, He is Guilty. Ane and STR recorded their first album, Grim-Stroke-Disease together, releasing it on the Machinery/Noise label in 1990. About a year later, it was followed by Grow-Speed Injection.
Shortly after the 1994 album Combat Shock, Swamp Terrorists added several members for their live show: bassist Anrej A, guitarist Spring and drummer Piet Hertig. However, STR left the band immediately following the 1995 release Killer, and began to work with the guitar-heavy Hellsau. The other four members of the band have since released a live album, Five in Japan and 2 EPs: Wreck in 1997, and Rare & Unreleased in 1999, on Metropolis Records.
