Swans, Live in Stockholm


Swans, live in Stockholm, nov 25, 2012. This is Golem music, you can almost hear him/it stomping in the background. The sound of a mobile phone recording cannot possibly reproduce the actual volume these grizzled old guys were playing in. The teeth were rattleing and the inner organs vibrating in pace with the soundwaves. Even though I used ear plugs, after this capture I had to back to a position in the rear of the audience, just to cope. According to wikipedia the front figure Michael Gira used to turn of the air conditioning in the concert room before a Swans performance. About his live shows, he has stated that it is at once 'soul-uplifting and body-destroying'. You get the picture.
