The Swamp Terrorists were a Swiss electro-industrial music group that was formed in 1988 by STR, Ane H, and Francis H.[1] Their music is harsh pounding electro-industrial/industrial hip hop beats, turntables and occasional rapping mixed with grinding metal guitar riffs (which are usually sampled from other heavy metal bands), and produces a sound similar to Die Warzau, KMFDM and White Zombie.
[2][3][4] 'Swamp Terrorists' were 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), vocalist Ane Hebeisen (aka Ane H), (formerly of Tierstein) and guitarist Francis H. Francis H departed from the group after the release of their first EP He is Guilty, after which Ane and STR recorded their first album Grim – Stroke – Disease together and released it on the Machinery/Noise label in 1991.
[7][8] 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.
[9][10] The band had a dedicated following in Brazil, where they have toured and where their international fan club was based.
[11] STR left the band immediately following the 1995 release Killer, and began to work with the guitar-heavy Hellsau.
