>Jesus Christ>Sex>Cult-like feeling of album>Loud, preacher man singing>Released around the same time of the cult's primeI'm pretty sure it wasn't a criticism of Christianity, but Gira wanting to satisfy his need to create something fucked up.
>>124476424It's more Jarboe than Gira. You can tell because it's actually music.But you're right, it's not a criticism.
Gira has always been shaman tripping.Given the live performances during this time Gira treated the whole presentation of CoG era like a cult/church. Swans audience were cult-like, Gira knew this being totally self-involved with a spiritual transformation which given the sincerity of the performances. The lyrics are in concept with duality kill your ego; new mind, our love is lies, blackmail, the fantastical Girl You're Not Real, imo best cut from the LP Jarboe's I'll Swallow You, howeverbeit Gira flew too close to the sun with this record, spiraling into alcoholism afterwards sowing the seeds of CoG's undoing. It was a tent on the road preaching moment, unraveling the exstasy caught of what was a latest craze.Prometheus fire handled then dropped.
