      Michael Gira is smart about being street-level with marketing. Record companies have always screwed artists, and he's no exception. I saw Swans perform twice around 2013 or 2014. Tickets were $20. Gira must be over 60 years old and the performance was white-hot intense.

It feels like you're witnessing a tribe in the deep wilderness reach some insane power, and it really just is probably the most insane record I've heard. So many sections are deranged and hellish while still somehow being beautiful and touching, seriously recommend!

    Well, this is a screenshot for the ages. (sorry...) This is my first Swans song and I've been listening to it every day for a week straight.
    And as far as band introductions go, I think this is as best as it can get.

    What I like about Swans is that he doesn't explicitly give you the message, he simply gives you the seeds and you grow your own message. I think that's what makes this type of music so powerful.

    This is based off the Buddhist Heart Sutra.
    So, in emptiness, there is no body,
    no feeling, no thought,
    no will, no consciousness.
    There are no eyes, no ears,
    no nose, no tongue,
    no body, no mind.
    There is no seeing, no hearing,
    no smelling, no tasting,
    no touching, no imagining.
    There is nothing seen, nor heard,
    nor smelled, nor tasted,
    nor touched, nor imagined.
    There is no ignorance,
    and no end to ignorance.
    There is no old age and death,
    and no end to old age and death.
    There is no suffering, no cause of suffering,
    no end to suffering, no path to follow.
    There is no attainment of wisdom,
    and no wisdom to attain.
