The Swans.  Apparently 3 records out, 2 lp's and an EP.  First LP named
"Filth", second LP named 'Cop' (I'm trying to get a hold of it now)

Credits list 2 drummers and 2 bass players and a vocalist I think, 
(and it sounds like it) EVERYTHING is used as percussion instruments
(they might as well beat on the bass strings with drumsticks, about
the same effect).  Short repetitive angry shout vocals.  A previous
poster said it well - 'a Flipper from Hell played at 16 rpm'.
No melody, all brash percussive texture.  Great combination.
