The Swans are awesome! Personally one of my favorite band names too. Just something about it. They sound like the unholy lovechild of Nick Cave and Throbbing Gristle.
Oh man, this is nice! I love the blend of doom and black. 🤘

Re: Music
This thread is so damn helpful to me. I'm discovering a lot of great doom bands through you people. My musical taste are pretty eclectic, but growing up in San Diego in the early '80s, I'm a child of old school punk, early post-punk and thrash metal.
I love everything from The Circle Jerks and FEAR, to Joy Division, The Smiths, and P.I.L., to Slayer, Exodus, and Metallica and I was lucky enough to see many of these bands live. In the late '80s, death metal became a part of my musical diet - Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, etc. LOVED it all and I still LOVE it to this day. In the past year, doom metal has really caught my ear and I'm slowly taking it in and absorbing it into my DNA. Thanks to everyone for posting what they're in to with a special thanks to cletus and jmcrook! I love talking and sharing information about music and I hope I'm able to introduce something new to someone that they end up loving. 🤘
In the past month, I've discovered a band out of England called Church of the Cosmic Skull that is really putting the wind in my sails. I love their whole aesthetic and vibe. Someone described them as "They put the ABBA in Black Sabbath" and I think that's pretty accurate. I'm a huge fan of Ghost and I could see these two bands touring together.
