The Swamp Terrorists are 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) and vocalist Ane Hebeisen (aka Ane H), (formerly of Tierstein), who met at a Strangler/Tierstein show.

Their music is harsh pounding electro mixed with grinding metal guitar riffs (which are usually sampled from other heavy metal bands), and produces a sound similar to KMFDM and White Zombie.

The original line-up consisted of STR, Ane H, and guitarist Francis H, who left after the release of their first EP, "He is Guilty". Ane and STR recorded their first album, "Grim-Stroke-Disease" together, releasing it on the Machinery/Noise label in 1990. About a year later, it was followed by "Grow-Speed Injection".

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. However, STR left the band immediately following the 1995 release "Killer", and began to work with the guitar-heavy Hellsau. The other four members of the band, as well as STR's live replacement ND, have since released a live album, "Five in Japan" and 2 EPs: "Wreck" in 1997, and "Rare & Unreleased" in 1999, on Metropolis Records.
