Deep Cuts guide to Swans

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Deep Cuts is a channel I discovered recently, I like it a lot.

Good isn't it. Loads of great material there. Let me know how you get on, I even found the guide to experimental Hip-Hop interesting, and that's certainly not my favourite genre.

For anyone else watching this thread, five albums to get you into Post Punk is really good as well:

I watched the Swans one on Friday night and immediately thereafter stuck The Seer on, it being one of a very small number of Swans records I hadn't previously heard.

Hello!

I thought we were music lovers on this forum:

If you don't like that, find something else! and let the rest of us know.

I know f**k all about Death Metal, don't understand it, can't get on with it. Help me with it.

Same goes for etc... etc... etc...

For anyone who fancies it, they are in session on 6Music this evening.
SWANS - possibly the loudest band on the planet in session tonight.

They have announced a remastered reissue of their ninth studio album, The Great Annihilator, out April 2017.

The album was entirely remastered by Doug Henderson, but only after Bill Rieflin recently tracked down DATs and cassettes containing unmastered mixes from the sessions. Michael Gira (the bands head honcho) described the discovery as "a revelation of great sonic effect".

SWANS is an experimental rock band formed in the USA in 1982, it travels around with very very large amplifying speakers.
Cheers.

If you've never seen the recent incarnation of the band, don't miss it. Swans live are quite astonishing.

If anyone is going this evening, I'm wearing a pink Hawaiian shirt. Feel free to come over and say hi
