Más allá de la baba triunfante, ellos buscan sobrepasarse, como lo harían otros genios del pasado. Su aspiración un tanto titánica me recuerda la que sostuvo la obra de Bach o del propio Beethoven. En cuanto a buscar sentido a su música más allá del sonido, creo que los de Swan no se casan con quienes andan buscando tres pies al gato. ¡La hostia en verso!
An die Studenten der Kunsthochschule für Medien und des Instituts für Musik und Medien Düsseldorf, die das Konzert aufgezeichnet haben: VERY GOOD JOB LADIES & GENTLEMEN! Complimenti!
The Knot is sublime, so glad I caught them live in 2017 just as Deliquescence was released. A mind-expanding experience, bordering on spiritual. They played for nearly 2 and a half hours, 2.5 hours of sonic brutality.
Missed this tour with a freshly broken clavicle. Luckily a good buddy was able to enjoy the psychic pugilism for both of us. This is a fantastic presentation - although there is no translation for the live experience of SWANS, and their ability to take sound levels and groove to the level of Elemental Force. The shows are not to be entered into lightly, but they are not to be missed if you have the courage to run their gauntlet. You will leave the show a changed individual. It's worth noting that if you leave your ear plugs at home, you'll probably leave a good chunk of your hearing at the venue, too! ;)
I saw them to years ago. Never thought they'd come to my country but they did. It was really something else. So raw, so visceral. One of the greatest musical experiences of my life. A night to remember forever.
"Psychic pugilism", I love that. Perfectly describes facing Swans. Trial by fire, with the reward being ecstasy. Seen them twice live, back in 2017 and last year. Wish I could see them dozens of times.
a music orgasm... and such great video/sound... one of the best Swans live videos... awesome performance... one of the bands that get better when older... pure pleasure... many thx @ KHM and the people who invited them! respect
This is more than music. At least that's how i feel about the Swans. I love to get lost in those soundscapes. Irgendwie freue ich mich für jeden, der das live erleben durfte, bin gleichzeitig aber echt neidisch, auf jeden der da war.🥰
I saw SWANS in 2016 and it was incredible. Although I was a little disappointed at first cause Thor Harris was no longer a member. But believe me Paul Wallfish is a great musican as you can see on this video! And so are the whole band members.
Organic, genuine sound. Swans, the only band still trying to cross to the other side through a massive repetitive monolithic sound wall, an endless effort.
A band that after a hiatus of more than 10 years, returns to the active, and creates one of the best journeys of the present music! Legendary! Killer band, I never saw anything like it
If only his voice was better. He can't hold a single note.. Sometimes his voice is fitting, but most of the time it is like a torpedo, sinking what is otherwise very interesting music.
swans is one of those bands... their albums are fucking amazing, but when they're live, it's just michael gira dragging his ballsack on a spiked slider. horrible live performances
