The great annihilator

Description

SWANS announces the remastered reissue of their ninth studio album, The Great Annihilator, on Mute. Released in 1995, The Great Annihilator will be published on both vinyl and CD. As a bonus, we find featured Drainland, the first solo album by Michael Gira recorded at the same time as The Great Annihilator. The album has been fully remastered by Doug Henderson, after Bill Rieflin ("honorary member of SWANS forever") spotted DATs and cassettes containing unmastered mixes of the sessions. This discovery is described by Michael Gira as "a revelation of great sonic impact." On the album we find: Michael Gira, Jarboe, Bill Rieflin, Algis Kizys, Norman Westberg, Clinton Steele, and Ded Parsons.
