Originally released in 1987, Children of God stands as one of Swans' most expansive and genre-defying records. Featuring the creative partnership of Michael Gira and Jarboe, the album weaves together dark experimental rock, gothic undertones, and folk-influenced passages into a bold and emotionally consuming listening experience. It remains widely regarded as one of the defining albums of its era and an ideal entry point for those discovering Swans for the first time.
This reissue on Young God Records presents Children of God with remastered audio and printed inner sleeves that replicate those included with the original release, honoring the album's legacy while delivering a fresh sonic clarity. With its sweeping dynamic range — from soul-crushing noise rock to haunting, spiritual balladry — this is an album that rewards deep, attentive listening and has earned its place among the most celebrated experimental rock records of all time.
