Blackpowder was formed in 2021 in Columbus, Ohio, out of a shared dream between two high school friends to play music together. Caleb Bennett (Guitar) and Caleb Turner (Bass) met in high school, and quickly hit it off with their shared interests in music. Through the last 2 years of high school they played together more and more, eventually deciding to form a band. At first struggling to find members they eventually found a drummer (Nathan Rideau) from a flyer posted at a local music store. The three of them began finding our initial success over the winter and summer of 2023. Writing hard hitting, groovy death metal songs we work hard to get the crowd moving but are never afraid to show our more caring and softer side, with many of our songs being centered on the environment and protecting the planet. With our original bassist back and a newfound purpose to spread awareness of all issues we care deeply about, the boys in Blackpowder are ready to conquer the world.

Hey there, my birth name is Nathan Rideau but on stage with Blackpowder I go by Nathan Jackson. I found my passion for drumming in a slightly unconventional way. Unlike many musicians, I didn't discover drums through school or a marching band. Instead, I was drawn to the instrument by the incredible emotion’s it can evoke in others. I feel most alive when I am behind a drum set. My biggest musical influences are Gojira, Sepultura and Death. I aim to bring people together with Blackpowder’s music by making a positive impact on bringing awareness towards environmental issues our planet faces.
