'Sacrifice And Transcendence' captures the chaotic rise of Michael Gira's band to become one of the most acclaimed rock acts of recent decades. For the first time, Gira has lent his support and approval to a text providing the first comprehensive and honest account of the infamous 'loudest band on the planet' from their origins in the aftermath of New York City's No Wave scene to their exhausted collapse in the late nineties, and on to their surprising and triumphant return in 2010, which saw the band top end-of-year polls and achieve their highest ever sales, and brought Swans a feted status among fans and critics alike as the great survivors and latter-day statesmen of the underground scene.
