Emerging from Esbjerg, Denmark in 2016, Black Oak County is a dynamic force in the world of hard rock and metal.
Formerly known as Great White Buffalo, the band has developed a signature sound that fuses classic rock influences from the 70s and 80s with elements of sludge,
grunge, modern hard rock, and contemporary metal. This unique blend has become their hallmark.
The quartet, consisting of Niels Beier (vocals/guitar), Rene Kristensen (vocals/bass), Jack Svendsen (guitar), and Mike Svendsen (drums),
united to chase a shared musical vision, one that would ultimately propel them to the grandest stages in the rock scene.
Black Oak County made waves with their self-titled sophomore album in 2016, featuring standout tracks like Mad Dog, Someone Else,
and the emotive ballad If You Only Knew.
Their evolution took an intriguing turn when Niels Beier briefly parted ways with the band, leading to their 2019 release of Theater of the Mind
as a power-trio.
This album introduced heavy-hitting tracks like Pretty Pistol and the monumental Watch Your Back, arguably the band's biggest song to date!
In 2022 the band's reunion with Beier brought them back to their original four-piece lineup. This marked the release of Back For Blood,
an explosive return to form, securing them a nomination for Single of the Year at the Danish hard rock and heavy metal award show Den Haarde Tone.
The band followed up with It's On You, a single co-written with renowned guitarist, producer, and songwriter Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp,
Marco Mendoza), and produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Arch Enemy, Invocator) of Hansen Studios.
The band's third studio album III, co-written, produced, engineered, mixed and mastered by Nicklas Sonne (Defecto, Eurovision Song Contest preliminaries), is out worldwide on October 25th. For tour dates and more, visit www.blackoakcounty.com
