Black Water Rising - The Edge (2025)

Think the Brought Low but with radio-friendly songs or the Black Label Society with more of a Southern spin and you're close to the sound of Brooklyn's Black Water Rising. Featuring former Dust to Dust vocalist Rob Traynor, former Stereomud guitarist Johnny Fattoruso, former Boiler Room drummer Mike Meselsohn, and bassist Oddie McLaughlin, the band began gigging around New York City in 2006. By the end of 2007 they had made a video for their track "Brother Go On" and had begun considering offers from a variety of labels. The year 2008 was filled with recording sessions for their debut album.~David Jeffries
