A reissue of the twelfth remarkable album from gentleman MICHAEL GIRA"s legendary SWANS. A seventeen-track majestic symphony of haunting melodies and shifting moods featuring some of Gira and partner JARBOE"s most haunting and ethereal vocal work. Dissonant, dulcet and dangerous, The Great Annihilator is clearly some of the group"s best late-period material, and a welcome addition to any music collection. Lushly packaged in a digipack with a lyric book insert.
