Swans are beautiful and elegant creatures. |
||||||||
|

I think I like Swans YO |
||||||||
|

i haven't heard enough of the Swans to give a good recommendation... but i can speak for Angels of the Light, which is one of Michael Gira's many cool Post-Swans bands... they put out an album last year called Everything is Good Here, Please Come Home <--it's pretty sweet... |
||||||||

i have couple of his releases and i'll check this one as well. btw, have you heard jarboe's 'anhedoniac' yet? that's some awesome music, probably even much darker then swans stuff, if that's possible at all :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i've heard Jarboe is very nice... but haven't had the chance to hear it yet... i''ll try to find it in the new year... |
||||||||
|

|
|
well, if you won't be able to get it i'll rip it for you. it's the reissue with 3 bonus songs :) |

i love the swans, they're one of my favorite bands. i don't know if soundtracks for the blind is their best... check out The Great Annhilator. that is my favorite swans album. in fact, it's one of my favorite records ever. also, buy Forever Burned. those two cds are perfect. and i really recommend buying them from Young God Records, because michael gira personally autographs each copy. it's fantastic. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, i'll check that...although the shipping might make the records more expensive :-) |

oh that's so weak. let's go to his house and pick them up. because it's so cool - he writes your name and stuff. |

what did swans eat before bread was invented? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
they were eating corn. |

it's true what they say, you learn something new everyday. |

Swans are my favourite band, I would say that Soundtracks For The Blind is their best album. I think their second best is White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity, that's out of print but most of it is included on the Various Failures compilation. I recommend that release. |

yeah didn't think this was gonna be a thread about Swansea City Football Club |

children of god is the best. it's one of the scariest albums ever. they're my favourite death metal band - except a guy called Aphex Twin, some of you might know his "come to daddy" speed metal hit |
||||||||
|

death metal band !!!!!!!???????????? whaT? |
||||||||
|
|

|

Agreed, Children of God wails. THE SEX IN YOUR SOUL WILL DAMN YOU TO HELL DAMN YOU TO HELL The soft, eerie tracks are good, too. They maket the scary parts even scarier. |
||||||||
|

children of god is sort of scary, but it's nowhere near as visceral and apocalyptic as Filth, imo. READ: the Swans were not at any point death metal. not even close. in the beginning, they were very cacophonous and heavy, an extreme to music. their early music was churning and bludgeoning and loud. children of god lp isn't even close to how intense they were before that album. all that said, they were never considered "metal", so i don't even know where you would get death metal from. they had more to do with industrial music... really in their own category. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
well, as long as it seems death metal bands just roar, scream and try to be scary - and remain pathetic and funny - ol' skool swans and "come to daddy" remain MY definition of death metal. IMO, aphex can be scarier than all death metal |
||||||||

|
|
swans are evil birds. evil. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's fine, but that's not what death metal is. it's a genre of music and neither of those examples are death metal. sorry! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i say 'come to daddy' is heavier, dirtier, scarier, deadly and metallic than any death metal track. sorry ! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think you have a completly wrong idea on what death metal is :) check some napalm death or obituary for that.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
G®uN†€¬S :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i completely DON'T ! :) i mean why is everybody so obsssesssed about genres ? god, don't treat that so serious, please ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'd rather try napalm, thanx LOL |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, im not obsessed with genres at all, it's just that most people know what death metal is so if you tell them that swans are death metal i pretty much doubt anyone would give them a chance :) |

The Queen owns all the Swans in England, It is illegal to kill them, a while back some turkish bloke killed a few to cook in his restaurant. FACT |

"Public Castration is a Good Idea" and the new (double disk) pressing of "Cop" and "Holy Money/Greed" are my top SWANS. This stuff can change your life. |
