From Wikipedia

Filth is the debut studio album by American experimental rock band Swans. It was released on May 27, 1983 through Neutral Records, following the release of the band's self-titled debut EP in 1982. Though it did not receive much contemporary attention, Filth has since been recognized as ahead of its time and significant to heavy genres of music.
