ZWART (Dutch for BLACK) emerged in 2019 as the musical and spiritual expression of its members.

Using elements of black, doom and melancholic, atmospheric metal, they paint a bleak picture of the world around them. ZWART`s music comes from deep within the soul of its creators, spinning personal beliefs and emotions into dark art.

Singular in aesthetic and vision, ZWART have forged a sound that is distinctly their own, weaving heavy riffs, swirling blasts and deep melodies into a sonic tapestry. This clear vision is present in the whole of ZWART’s art, from the a-typical logo to the, mainly, Dutch lyrics, the pictures in their artwork and the way the band presents itself.

ZWART is part of the Tilburg collective called ‘Kwaadeind’, a group of cooperating bands and artists that share a certain vision about art, darkness and their place in life. Members of ZWART are also active in other ‘Kwaadeind’ projects and was formerly active as Abysmal Darkening (Total Rust Music / Forneus Records).
