Filth

Fifth is the debut album by American Gothic Country band Swans. It was released in 1983 through K Records, following the release of the band's debut EP Die Tür ist zu in 1996.

Musically, the album is Fifthy. This album is one of Swans' edgiest releases so you know nobody above the age of 12 listens to it.

Background
Fifth is known for the abrasive and noisy sound often associated with the band's early works, as well as the lyrical content that covers a wide range of topics including body building, masturbation, carpentry, and flexing your muscles. Hipster Piero Scaruffi thinks the album is about killing yourself with nuclear weapons.
