After a long and exhausting decade and a half of following the same formula, Swans has finally made the decision to abandon it and move to smaller sounding album. This is a great thing, because this album details everything wrong with that formula.
Don't get me wrong, I do think that this is a good album and a solid effort from Swans. The last track, "(Rope) Away," particularly blew me away with its incredible atmosphere and peaceful ending ... read more
After Sematary's failure to drop "Butcher House" in 2022, he did what I can only assume is compensation for taking too long by releasing 2 projects in 2023: "Butcher House" and this EP, "King of the Graveyard."

While I wish he would hurry up and release the record already, the glimpses into the album's world that we've gotten in "GODSTAINED" is nothing short of incredible. It has these elements to it that are ... read more
