“T’oussaint you’re in deep shit rn” that was hilarious. T’oussaint led one of the first prolific, successful slave revolts in Haiti. They brutally fucked all their masters up. That song is Michael channeling that energy

There's no live music experience like Swans. As much as I love their records, Swans are first and foremost a live band. Intense, overwhelming, louder than anything, hypnotic. If they're ever playing live anywhere near you, make sure you go. You'll be very glad you did.

100%. It's a must watch band where the studio albums are just a teaser for the ultimate expression of their sound, which is the live experience. Same as bands like Sunn O))), Earth, Boris, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, etc - the live experience is just another beast altogether.

Whenever I do acid and I want a very 'shamanistic' experience, my go-to band is Swans, specially this album, but really more so The Glowing Man (their best work, in my opinion) and the live album Deliquescence. Groovy, hypnotic, trance-inducing. Going hard, 4 tabs, turning off all the lights and listening to Swans is a religious experience.

@@solartea_ for me, yes. I got hooked on them, around 2010, via an Occult Writer and Editor Friend of mine. (He started seeing them live in the late 80's. I started listening, Religiously, all the way back to their, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity Album). He took me to see them. I was pretty much ill-prepared, with,..."surrendering" to 'The Tumult' that was to play upon my Senses. I am right now, as I write this, listening to The Beggar Album. And of course, "Medicines" differ upon us. All I know, for me, here is another Dose of Mana.
