Trinity?

And it's got the re-recorded 'God Is Alone' 7"

Quote from: Pentagrimes on August 17, 2023, 02:53:10 PMYeah they really were unstoppable in their early days, and as above "As the flower withers" is my favourite. "Sear Me" is still incredible to this day.
"Swans" was the last thing of theirs I really liked and I always found it a little too polished (probably to make up for how think "Flowers" sounds) but this live version of "The Snow In My Hand" is absolutely perfect. Must have worn the VHS tape I used to have it on out from watching it so much

True
It's way too dry

This live version sounds immense
Gives the song a new lease
Violin sounds great as well, carrying a central melody
 
They are some band for mixing heavy; fast; slow; doom

It's like misery and anger in 1 tune 😎

thats the one!

I can't stand here and listen to people defame Turn Loose the Swans. I won't stand for it!

What is the image on the artwork? A dripping candle? Or actual jizz??


Yeah I was thinking it looked like a grotto with a statue that had been distorted or overlayed with something else.

Yeah I always had it down as a frost/ice enclosed grotto

Quote from: Pentagrimes on August 17, 2023, 11:31:08 AMLovely stuff, must pick them up as I've been gradually replacing some of the old Peaceville bits I don't have any more. That run from the demo through the EPs up to "Swans" is absolute genius.

'Symphonaire ...' was when I got into them
It was a revelation


To then get 'Turn Loose the Swans' sandwiched by 2 EPs after 'As the Flower Withers' (my favourite by them) was just unreal
- The Thrash of Naked Limbs
- ... Swans
- I Am the Bloody Earth

They were pure gold then

The Thrash of Naked Limbs is one of my favourite EPs
Gather Me Up Forever !!!


The Collectors Club 7" series by Peaceville was great then too - MDB, Anathema, GGFH, At The Gates


I got this poster around then

yeah, had this on a longsleeve shirt. was my pride and joy, but feck did i know what was going on with that image for a brave while
