Black Oak County drop explosive new music video today for award-winning single “Boom Boom Baby”!

Danish hard rockers Black Oak County are back in the spotlight with the release of the official music video for their raucous and infectious single “Boom Boom Baby”, fresh off winning Rock Single of the Year at the 2025 Danish Alternative Music Awards.

Originally released digitally in August 2024, “Boom Boom Baby” features powerhouse vocalist and guitarist Nicklas Sonne (Defecto, Aries Descendant, Danish Eurovision preliminaries), and has since become a fan favorite with its tongue-in-cheek lyrics, thunderous riff, and one of the catchiest choruses on the band’s third album “III”.

“This one started as kind of a silly party song based on a teenage story from a friend of ours”, the band shares. “But with the riff, the energy, and Nicklas joining in, it really took on a life of its own, and it’s become a highlight not just on the record, but live as well”.

The new live video was filmed during the band’s fiery performance at the 2025 MoshNMay Festival in Schapen, Germany – captured and cut by Daniel Christensen – showing Black Oak County doing what they do best: delivering high-octane rock with grit, sweat, and a smile.

Catch Black Oak County live on tour throughout 2025, and at festival shows across Denmark, England, Germany, and Switzerland.

The official video is out today on YouTube. You can check it out below or via one of our official media partners for its debut, which premiered it yesterday:

The Danish hard rock quartet Black Oak County released their third album “III” last October, taking them to new musical horizons, with a wide mix of thundering breakdowns, catchier choruses than ever before, a massive wall of pounding guitar riffs, and a heartfelt piano ballad.

“III” was co-written and produced with Danish metal heavyweight Nicklas Sonne (Defecto, Aries Descendant, Danish Eurovision preliminaries), which proved to be a fruitful creative relationship between the two parties.

“We came to Nicklas and worked on [the singles] “Save Your Breath” and “Fire Inside” together back in 2023, and we absolutely loved the process”, the band says. “It was amazing for us to have someone as competent as Nicklas giving us feedback on our songs, their structures, compositions and riffs - just to have someone impartial to work with, who wanted nothing but the best for the songs was awesome. We knew right away that we wanted to do a full album together, and hadn’t left the studio before we started working on songs for “III” together”.

The album marked a return-to-form for the band, reuniting with guitarist/singer Niels Beier on 2022’s singles “Back For Blood” and “It’s On You”, produced by former grammy nominee Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Asinhell) and co-written with Soren Andersen (Glenn Hughes, Mike Tramp). Now with both Beier and singer/bassist René Kristensen doing vocal duties in the band, new musical doors have opened for the Esbjerg-based rockers.

“We realized we had two great singers and hadn’t utilized it before”, Kristensen confirms. “We took advantage of that on “Back For Blood”, but have worked out the songs for the album with this in mind. There’s a lot of back-and-forth between us on this album, swapping verses and choruses, doing harmonies for each other’s parts, etc., and we sound better than ever on this album!”.

Black Oak County has dug deep into their pile of musical ideas, in order to come up with a wider range of songs than ever, incorporating brand new ideas with older material from the early days of their career. “III” is an energetic record, with the band’s well-known mixture of high-intensity low-tuned riffs paying homage to their metal and hard rock heroes, mixed with modern mixing techniques, synthesizers and a fresh take on the band’s familiar sound.

“III” is out now digipack CD, LP (black and green vinyl versions available, each limited to 200 copies) and digital via Mighty Music.
