Swans - Filth (1983) [Deluxe Edition 2015]

'Filth' was originally released in 1983, the album was recently described by Clash magazine as "a brutally exhaustive work swimming in a thematic pool of audacious abjection" and by The Village Voice as "no wave with five years of practice, too messy for mysticism and too funny for suicide."

Swans, led by Michael Gira, formed in 1982 and, after disbanding in 1997, returned with the critically acclaimed albums 'My Father Will Guide Me Up A Rope To The Sky' (2010), 'The Seer' (2012) and 'To Be Kind' (2014).

SWANS debut album re-mastered and reissued on 3CD digipack printed on embossed brown chipboard with booklet including rare photos.
