Kill the Child: 1985/1986/1987 Live is a live album by American experimental rock band Swans, released in 1995. Recorded across 1985–1987, it showcases the band's early industrial/noise-rock and no wave tendencies through stark, repetitive rhythms, heavy bass, abrasive guitar textures and confrontational vocals, documenting a live phase that precedes their later, more expansive and melodic work.
