Blackwater Drowning sit down with Scott this week for a fun chat
on their career! The band formed in 2013 in Western NC. In this
discussion, the band talks about their early days, formation, and
much more. 


In this talk, the band share their songwriting and recording
processes for how they get such a unique sounds. Their first
album, 'Dillusionary' was released in 2015. Scott gets the
behind-the-scenes story of how the album was made as well as how
they view it in hindsight.


Their singles 'Saint' and 'Violent Ends' have helped solidify the
band's sound. In this discussion, the band share the stories
behind these songs and the state of the band at the time of
writing/recording. Details of the making of the videos for these
songs are also shared.


As the pandemic raged in 2020, many independent venues across the
country have struggled to survive. To that end, Blackwater Rising
partnered with Ass Clown Brewing to create a limited-run craft
beer (Blackwater Clowning) to help. Ass Clown is donating 15% of
the sales to Music Everywhere CLT,  an economic initiative
that supports Charlotte’s music scene.

album cover for the first time. You can see the video version at
