SWANS have announced a remastered reissue of their ninth studio album, The Great Annihilator on Mute.
The Great Annihilator, originally released in 1995 and described at the time as “…a majestic symphony of haunting melodies and shifting moods” [SF Bay Guardian], will be released on double vinyl and as a 3CD set. Both the vinyl (in the form of a download code) and CD will feature Drainland, Michael Gira’s debut solo album recorded at the same time as The Great Annihilator.

Band members and Jarboe and Bill Rieflin etc came and went, and somehow we crafted this thing into what it became.”
