"Metal fans have always been easily seduced by symbols of sacrifice; martyrs to the cause. In this context, Bon Scott was not seen as the wandering minstrel he really was, with an anything-goes weakness for booze and drugs and a careless, some might say selfish, attitude towards his own safety that ultimately betrayed the love of his family and friends. He was seen as a heavy metal hero. The most formidable kind: a fallen hero, lost in battle, fighting the good fight for rock and metal, riding the ‘Highway To Hell’, whose memory, swaddled ‘Back In Black’, would always be celebrated by glory of the ‘Hells Bells’".
Mick Wall, "Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be"

What does "swaddled ‘Back In Black’ " mean in other words?
 
It feels to me like there's an 'in' missing.

swaddled in 'Back In Black'

Are you sure there's no 'in'? If not, it may be a typo.

I alwaty copy the text form the source, not type. It says "swaddled 'Back In Black'"
 
In that case, I don't know. My best guess is that it should have said 'swaddled in 'Back In Black'—that Bon's memory was swaddled in the feel and the fame of their most famous and most loved album.
 
I alwaty always copy the text form from the source; not I don't type it myself. It says "swaddled 'Back In Black'".
You need to install an English spellchecker on your browser. That would at least have picked up the dreadful misspelling of "always". If you install one that's also a grammar checker, it would underline "form" because it didn't make sense in the context.
