Swans - Soundtracks for the Blind
Year: 1996
The musical equivalent of inviting your sleep paralysis demon over and telling it to bring all its friends to truly go wild for over 2 hours. Few non-metal bands truly manage to be heavy as ****, much like Comus' First Utterance, Soundtracks for the Blind achieves a cloying, unyielding and uncomfortable heaviness that most extreme metal bands could only dream of. Listen to this album, if only for the sheer relief you will feel when it's over. Listen to it again when the demon demands it.
