Swans - Live at Novi Rock 1987

Immerse yourself in the relentless and visceral sound of Swans, the legendary New York experimental band, performing live at the Novi Rock 1987 festival in Ljubljana. Known for their crushing intensity, hypnotic repetition, and raw emotional power, Swans delivered a performance that left an indelible mark on the former Yugoslav alternative scene.

This rare footage captures the band's punishing sonic assault and commanding stage presence, bringing their signature blend of industrial, post-punk, and noise rock to the Novi Rock audience. A must-watch for fans of extreme music, avant-garde rock, and the uncompromising artistic vision of Michael Gira.

Every new live footage of Swans from '80s or '90s is a gem for community!! Quality of audio and video is surprisingly good! This is the one of very few performances of In My Garden. This show was also uncirculated to this day!
