About
Norman Westberg (born June 27, 1958) is an American guitarist best known for his work with Swans, joining the band for the recording of their 1983 debut album Filth and appearing on every album except the 1992 album Love of Life and the 1996 album Soundtracks for the Blind, though his playing is sampled throughout the latter record. Westberg became a full-time Swans member once again when Michael Gira reformed the group in 2010.
