A lot of Hermann Nitsch's composition work (proprietor of the aforementioned blood origies) is pretty consistent with the sound/dynamics of Swans, admittedly in a more avant garde/modern composition context. Like, pairing lovely punk bands with orchestras together to just make pure noise, or using a tank as an instrument. The Island and Das 6-Tage-Spiel Des Orgien Mysterien Theaters: Day 5 box sets are a great introduction, as is Musik Der 66. Aktion.

Blast Fantasto posted:There's a new deluxe edition of Filth on Spotify today. Which is great because the only one they had on there before was the Filth/Body to Body, Job to Job comp. I'm going to have to buy this, if only for that third disc with EP #1 and the live material.

Blast Fantasto posted:Sad that this version of Swans will be done, but there's something to be said about accomplishing all you can artistically and moving on. I will definitely be supporting their next Kickstarter. Yeah, if you look back at their discography they never really did the same thing for more than a handful of albums. Looking forward to this one and then whatever Gira does next.

Blast Fantasto posted:What do any of us really know about Michael Gira's "character" beyond "writes scary, noisy music" and "sometimes wears cowboy hats"? I dunno, considering the split with Jarboe was pretty acrimonious and public, I'd imagine she would have had similar lovely stories to tell of him.

You may dig Skullflower too. Lots of overlap between Ramleh as far as members go. Bodychoke were great too from that scene but a bit more obscure.
