dankrsta you really need to look into Caroliner......i am positive they are right up your alley....

Swans and Michael Gira's work in general...in my opinion are sheer bliss...although i completely see how they come off as boring and pretentious...i don't feel they are in way....i also think you should explore their latter albums....Gira stated in numerous interviews that he was tired of being lumped into a "aggressive noise" group....and in the later albums found new ways to explore noise and i guess pain through melody and instrumentation versus pounding guitar and drum....it's just a much more fluid sound while achieving the same feeling and message

i also think that Crispin Glover should be mentioned here....his one album is beyond weird

I have their whole discography, I'm a big fan. And I like their later albums as much as earlier ones. (EDIT: ^^If that was addressed to me)

I'll look into Caroliner, thanks.
