Swans
Children of God (1987)
One of my all time favorites. Dark, menacing, insanely creepy, just mindblowingly amazing. Moments of brutal ugliness are balanced by touches of sheer majestic beauty… Gira’s vocals and lyrics are more fucked-up, wounded and brutal than ever, while Jarboe’s angelic voice provides a perfect contrast. Genius.
White Light from the Mouth of Infinity (1991)
Angry, big, beautiful, more powerful than ever.
Soundtracks for the Blind (1996)
cd 1
cd 2
The weirdest, bravest thing they've done. Lush orchestration + dark, eerie soundscapes + post rock + doom and gloom and despair + transparent moments of majestic, heavenly beauty.

CD1 is wrong - Infinity again instead of Soundtracks
Thx!
At their high, I was a child.
Merry christmas!
oh sorry, I fixed the link to CD 1. Thanks for pointing it out. Should work now :)
Great post! I had the honor of playing in a band that opened for Swans on the COG tour at which they played mostly Burning World material which wouldn't come out for another year...it was incredible! M Gira was very kind and soft spoken...we talked a lot about the Skin records that had just come out and blew me away... Thanks for the memories..Any chance of posting Shame Humility and Revenge
