Not even close. Neurosis barely matches post-reunion Swans.

No one comes close to Swans. Cop is the single biggest denouement of suffering in music.

Raise the volume so you can actually hear what's going on.

Gerogerigegege is loud and crazy. But it's not that heavy, and it's loud/crazy is usually in short bursts.

Gira's voice is the only reason the music has the intensity you mention. You won't find anything "heavier" than Swans, and loud music will be impotent by comparison.
This has a similar noisy guitar, and it uses dynamics. You won't think it's heavier than Swans, but it may scratch a similar itch.

I've listened to a thousand albums in search of a song that is as soothing as this Swans song. Of course I haven't felt anything.

>>73840753
Really? I would say that it's more intense than the first two songs on Filth; it certainly doesn't match anything beyond that, but it was pretty good.

>>73840425
That track just sounds like SPK/Neubauten whom Gira was influenced by

I'm familiar with Swans and am well past the "lel Swans are the heaviest thing evar xD" phase. try Eyehategod then

>>73840838
Gira cites SPK as an influence, so I've already listened through all of their catalog. The second song certainly sounds closer, but "Stupid Child" is much more saturated by noise, particularly during the second half of the song. Thanks for the recommendation, though. I'll have to listen through Neubauten

Can anyone recommend me more songs like Avatar?

>>73841024
just listen through To Be Kind

>>73841031
I have. The Seer and To Be Kind are both really damn good. Also liked The Great Annihilator. Mother_Father was my favourite song.

I like The Melvins intro here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFgzPojlwIE

I really wish there were more innovative takes on the sludge/noise/no-wave potential for heaviness. Apart from Swans, I can only think of Melvins and Butthole Surfers. Anything similar that came before or after those bands sounds either like early attempts or revisionism.

Swans is better at conveying brutality, tho

Also just fucking get into avant classical

Imma listen to these.

Avantsy as they may seem to us, most of the bands this thread has discused about still sound like some twisted, atavistic form of rock and roll. I think it's easier to find brutality and heavyness in avant garde, and rock always has some degree of structure and convention, so innovation is harder

Eh, Swans aren't even that brutal though. Their repetition makes it all much more lenient and easier to take in compared to like the metal genre with its constant riff assault; meanwhile their tone isn't as abrasive or heavy as the noisiest metal or noise groups.

Also kek at recommending avant stuff or Penderecki; all that stuff is far more cerebral than visceral particularly due to a lack of abrasive yet percussive parts in the music.

Holy shit

>>73841765
I've always felt that metal is the more cranial genre. I find it hard to believe that something as virtuous as Death is even trying to communicate anger, for example. Too majestic to wrench my gut, iykwim

>>73840029
>post-revival swans
>heavy

>>73841959
Death is terrible example because the band is extremely tame compared to its extreme metal peers in every way possible. Yeah it's true that often even at its heaviest/most intense metal's more of a "prop you up/make you feel badass" type genre than anger based, but there's all sorts of noisy heavy misanthropic stuff like Gnaw Their Tongues.

>>73842118
Just listened to the track previously posted. It's great, but sounds more like harsh noise than anything remotely similar to metal. Perhaps Mories as an artist tends towards metal too, but very little of this particular song matches the conventions of metal.

>>73842018
MFWGMUARTTS, The Glowing Man, and Deliquescence are fairly heavy. Admittedly, the latter two are riddled with respites. OP was talking about early Swans, though; you'll notice that he has mentioned Cop and Filth.

>>73842197
The dude's all over the place with no one set sound. Above track was like Murmuure where there's sorta riffs but the sound's super distorted but GTT takes it to the next level. This link's closer to sludge I guess?

this has more in common with later Swans than what I think you're looking for, but it's fucking incredible and well worth a listen. Probably my overall favorite album

Music is just impotent, regardless of its content or of its volume. Everything posted in this thread, from the avant-classical to the no-wave, is pathetic. Go mow someone's lawn using a motorized lawnmower, and you'll subject yourself to an experience that's more intense than any music. Go shoot a gun.

Are you serious? Even Slayer is more intense than Swans.

>>73843616
Let's not forget the most intense band of them all, Tool.
