Swans – To Be Kind

This is the third epic release since the Swans returned in 2010. They remain both brutal and powerful, a brooding colossus in the realm of experimental rock. After more than 30 years producing records, it is obscene how good this is. Yes, To Be Kind is a marathon to listen to and subsequently not easy to digest, but it is worth the effort.
