Hello, thank you for listening to our music. I hope it gives you some joy and pleasure.
I am pleased that you have discovered our music through this medium. I view this experience as the equivalent of previewing a record in a record store in days of old. However, if you wish to experience the music in its' fullest form, I would strongly encourage you to acquire it in a physical format you can bring into your home. Not only will you then be able to experience the richest version of the music sonically, but you will also be afforded the opportunity to enjoy the tangible artwork, which was conceived in tandem with the music, and serves as a further portal to experiencing the total conceptual and spiritual and emotional content of the work we have labored, lovingly, to bring to you.
I love you,

"Swans are majestic, beautiful looking creatures. With really ugly temperaments."
this band is iconic
just like me fr fr
You can say that 100 times.
Nah, that ain't me. Swans are beautiful but I'm the ugly duckling with much more terrible and edgy temperaments.

I know it's just 2 notes but that's the best bass line I've ever heard.
Sounds like a SHARK! =D BITE BITE BITE me HAAAARRRDDDD! HAHA SnapSnap!
alfonzo two bass guitars
U don't need 2 basses 2 do this. I play bass. I don't think. I know =) U hit the top thing while letting the bottom thing ring out. It's not rocket science.
It sounds like the word filth
Deathrape2001 He’s talking about how they recorded and performed with 2 bassists around this time. That’s what made it sound even more heavy.

Jeff Mecham and the gym is named after this song

Can we just spend a while to appreciate how the Swans album covers perfectly depict the actual content of each release.

@Air Conditioner oddly melancholic
@@thegucc593 nice hylics
Even the ugly ones (Children of God) make a lot of sense with the overall concept of the album.
@larls Feels kinda warm, too.
Great workout song.
They should replace the mainstream radio with an infinite loop of this in the local gym.
You know this is a *satire* of that right?
John Burns this album is just one song slightly varied 12 times
good point, but still
John Burns what how
Its a good workout song for how heavy it is not bc it says “flex your muscles”. I prefer weakling though both artistically and for that purpose
I showed this song to one of my Brazilian friends 2 months ago
In 2 weeks he ended up listening to the entire discography

The lack of replies indicates the adventurer perished on their journey through Swans.
Hahaha, excellent comment. @@JeanMarceaux
This album is pure genius. Swans were way ahead of the times. Great band, great music, insane album.
I always come back to this track & this album. It's raw, dark, primitive , pummeling, cold scathing blistering primal aggression & relentless anger to the listener's eardrum. These guy's were the innovator's of groups like Godflesh's album Streetcleaner & other dynamic bands. Really great stuff.
they sure were ahead of their time because there is literally no other music from 1983 that sounds like this.. if anyone knows better, I want to know
I don't know the exact dates but many things ~ a whole genera known as 'industrial', & also some 'experimental' music. 'Unfindable' things like 'Demi Urge' & others. & no I don't mean the 'black metal' one from 2003 Google sez... something else. It was varioius construction equipment sounds put together in a musical way = very heavy! =)
@@SimMaster sonic youth
@@SimMaster the birthday party
Nothing compares to early Swans. Its the realist, scariest music ever created. None of these black metal, grindcore, etc. bands come anywhere close to this raw, unfiltered expression of emotion.
fu....ng true! the same thing i already thought in 1983, do still thinking it. and i love extreme metal stuff.:-)
All the best metal bands point to Swans as a major influence.
@@markuselipka I once asked Henry Rollins (I met him several times over the years) if he could recommend anything "as heavy" as Swans and he responded "there isn't really anything. It's pretty ultimate stuff!"
I listen to a lot of death metal and grindcore, but this is without a doubt the most brutal, unpleasant, grating song I have ever heard. The only things I can think that are on par with this are Napalm Death's peel sessions or Sonicrime Therapy by GISM.
Disembowelments- Transcendence into the Peripheral, Infesters-To the Depths in Degradation, Close to a World Below- Immolation, and Gorguts - Obscura are examples of music that are far scarier and malevolent than this album. This is a great album but this opinion that you hold shows a lack of sufficient knowledge in the extreme subgenres. No offense.
For some reason, I can picture the entire album being played on a very gritty, dimly lit, abandoned underground gym.
Ooo Gustavo Cerati nice
@@jordannietos thanks ❤️
Exactly. Like Apollo Creed’s gym in Rocky III.
fight club music
That's not far off from the kinds of venues they were playing in when they started out
I'll never forget the first time I heard this song. It was like someone discovered a way to tap into a repressed, buried part of my emotional core and expressing it in a pure and beautiful way with music, in a manner that the most aggressive 'metal' music could never capture. It's ugly but honest, like admitting that your girlfriend isn't that important to you outside of your physical needs. I discovered Swans about a decade ago, in a particularly dark time in my life, and no band has ever been the soundtrack to my inner life in the same way since.
They have a way of capturing the disgusting nature of humans in a way that no one else has.
Recommend listening to Manowar then.
I had a similar experience when listening to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum for the first time, which coincidentally, were influenced by Swans (hence why I'm checking them out now). I would give them a listen if you haven't already.
@@otomauth That's a hell of a band name
RIGHT?? Early Swans is like the band did a deep dive into their more disgusting emotions and feelings. Unlike a ton of other music it offers none of that emotionally sappy or empathetic feeling - just pure, undiluted ancient-reptilian-brain-aggressiveness.
The fact that this is the same band who would go on to make soundtracks for the blind is insane to me
there is no discernible melody here --- and none required. Primal visceral brutality. Instinctive and intense. This is as raw as it gets.
I hear a definite melodic direction on that bass
No melody? Swans was always about melody.
Check out city song by Daughters
Have you ever heard meshuggah?
@@concars1234 it's minimal chromatic movement. Its there, it's 3 notes. Honestly it feels like the art in this is there is none by which can be described as intentional. But I think he did that just to be like "alright, it's fuckin music now, you happy?"
I am in awe this album exists. Swans were ridiculously ahead of their time for 1983 and this sounds highly influential in heavier music later down the line
the double bass grooves in this whole album is just so metallic and gritty and dark. fucking love it.

I tried having sex to this music but i just end up imagining gira yelling at me mostly naked with the Mic in his mouth hands behind his back wailing into the Mic trying to capture and telegraph the pain and misery of every living being on the planet all at once..

Thank you Michael Gira from Swans. I love you too
Just watched "Kids react to Swans". This was the last tune they last sampled. I am amazed that children would give this more a chance than most adults might.

I like everything they've put out but Filth is by far my favorite Swans album.
Tha Filthiest! =8^D
Same here but then i listened to "coward" loud as fuck. The way he says STICK YOUR KNIFE IN ME
WALK AWAY.
is just so damn sad...
For me its between Cop and Holy Money...
Filth is one of the grittiest albums ever made
Yes, it is...

Been obsessed with this song the last few weeks.
I really like the way the voice getting more and more exhausted but still stronger and harder. FLEX YOUR MUSCLE😂
That description made me tear up
And thus, begins one of the most incredible discographies in the history of music
(I know they first released their self-titled EP but most people consider mostly just studio albums).
This is like pure existential hatred put into sound. This album is fucking insanely brutal and crushing.
It’s hard to believe this masterpiece was released in 1983. Wow 🤩
Can you believe it - I didn’t know any piece of music from the Swans! This is one of my first experiences of Swans music! I thank you so much for uploading! It’s now one of my absolute favorite songs! I’ll try to see you live in October in Germany, hope, I can manage it. Of course, I’ll buy your records! As you said: UA-cam for me is a medium to find the music I like and want and then to buy the cd.

A construction site never sounded so beautiful before.
Still hits the spot after so many years. Uncompromised heavy sound of filth. Something great.
This song really activates my fight or flight response, and what's weirder is that I enjoy it
Solid alarm clock tune
When you're Swans and you pioneer industrial metal, sludge metal, art metal, noise metal, alternative metal, avant-garde metal, grindcore, and grunge. All in one fucking album...
That’s a little too far fetched lol
when you're james guillory and you are wrong
This stupid. There is nothing 'metal' about Swans, and even if there were I'd say Killing Joke pioneered "industrial metal" and most of those other genre on their first album. The only one with a grain of truth is grindcore, but only insofar as members of Napalm Death said they came up with the term "grind" to describe the sound of Cop-era Swans... but nothing about the actual sound of Napalm Death would make someone unacquainted with that statement stop and think, "wow, this sure sounds a lot like Swans!". I get Godflesh, especially early on, was basically Swans worship, but again I'd say Killing Joke (and even Ministry tbh) beat Justin to the punch on the industrial metal thing. And yeah, the Melvins are Swans fans (you can hear it a lot in Crover's drums IMO), but they're hardly a band that can be pigeonholed into any one genre themselves. Flipper (who Gira auditioned for) were more progenitors of things that would later get labelled sludge and grunge more than Swans were.
How the fuck is this grindcore?
Metal is for teenagers
Definitely see where Godflesh got some of their influence. Hell yeah!!
Absolutely
AW SHIT I'M FEELING IT

Are you the one in every Radiohead comment section, or just same profile pic?
@sleepism Thanks!
and while listening to it and after listening to it
When a band was releasing amazing shit like this in 1983 and they release a fucking masterpiece all the way over in the 2010s, you know they're on some next level shit
This sounds like a song that would play in a sort of dirty, rundown, gritty, shittily lit, illegal gym and fight club that’s in a underground basement below a equally shitty cheap bar or pub. Full of shady people, criminals, biker gangs, thugs. Alcohol pungently attacking your nose. The walls full of mold and rust. All the electric lights constantly flickering barely staying on with dirt smeared over the broken glass and flying insect guts. Same with the walls.
“The smell of dried blood. Dirty, bare footprints circling each other. That aroma of old sweat like fried chicken. The feel of a floor still warm from a fight the night before.” -Jack, Fight Club (1999)
basically that room from the beginning of big hero six?
In a world of fake beauty, filth is our sonic hero.

@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT COME BACK FOR MORE!!!!
all the good energy in the universe for you ! Eat a lot of Vegs!!!
This song makes me feel like i am in a fighting ring in some heavily industrialized alleyway, completely naked and covered my own blood and bodliy fluids while a man absolutely gargantuan in size slowly paces towards me. In this situation, all i can do is embrace the fact that I will get absolutely fucking destroyed. Slowly and painfully as the crowd surrounding the both of us cheers on and laughs maniacally.
that is fr what it feels like
It's from 1983 but sounds like something that came from the late 90's, damn.
Goes to show how timeless swans is
this shit doesn't even sound that it is from this planet or that it came out from our times ....
Agreed
More like late 80s (Godflesh).
No, it sounds like the 80s. There was lots of absolutely insane, genre-defying stuff during that period like Laibach, Neubauten, No Trend, Coil... everything since then became a lot less free and groups tried to pigeonhole themselves into genres and work backwards. I think the 80s was more or less as intense as it ever got for anything vaguely "rock" related (not that all the aforementioned were, but Swans most certainly were).
Wow, the fact that I've never been recommended this band before is as insane as this music. Thank you to Jamie for mentioning them

Fuck man, that sucks...
Flex your muscles
Ived loved this song for over 20 years
really great music to hold and pet a cat to
Wow, this was released the year I was born! '83!
Надо подкачаться, надо надо подкачаться!
Just realized that the intense drums that appear later on sound like being hit by a belt. Brings back childhood memories of my father's belt.
The first time I heard this album it scared the shit out of me, the second time I was laughing half the time. I finally heard it again for maybe the 5th or 6th time after not hearing it for years and it finally clicked. Man this shit is brutal but funky in an insane asylum dance party kind of way.
Got it in lp version. For me, my favorite. Since along time. Unique!
I always come back to this song when I'm at my lowest. The only person that truly has my back is myself
I love you too gira
This reminds me of Silent Hill industrial music, repetitive and abrasive. Very Cool!
