Filth

Filth is the debut studio album by Michael Gira and the Swans released in 1983. Most consider it to be a near perfect album and the greatest that Swans has ever produced.

Background
Filth is known for the abrasive and noisy sound often associated with the band's early works, as well as the lyrical content that covers a wide range of topics including body building, masturbation and carpentry. Piero Scaruffi thinks the album is about killing yourself with nuclear weapons.
