If you never have, you might want to check out Swans (but be forewarned--the stuff can be pretty harsh).

From Wikipedia:
One of their trademarks of their early work was playing painfully loud live to which audience members sometimes regurgitated and the police sometimes had to force them to cancel.

Harsh sounds about right.

Although there is not an untrue word there, they fail to mention the incredible gorgeosity of Sountracks for the Blind, White Light From the Mouth of Infinity, and the great stuff on Various Failures.

Hell, buy Various Failures just for the songs Love Will Save You, Failure, Will We Survive?, Miracle of Love, Why Are We Alive?, Eyes of Nature, and, the crowning achievement, God Damn the Sun.

Now that I think of it, that's about a third of the songs on the thing, and the rest are all damned fine, too.

Buy it.
