Norman Westberg is a guitarist from Detroit best known for his work with Swans. Present through almost the entirety of the band's existence, Westberg was brought on for Swans' debut album ''Filth'' (1983) and appeared on every album through 1991s ''White Light From the Mouth of Infinity'' (he also played in 1995 for ''The Great Annihilator'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.discogs.com/artist/Norman+Westberg#t=Credits_Instruments-Performance&q=&p=1 )〕 Westberg became a full-time Swans member once again when Michael Gira reactivated the group in 2010.

Westberg was for a short time a member of The Heroine Sheiks with Shannon Selberg (ex-The Cows) as well as John Fell (ex-China Shop). Aside from the present incarnation of Swans, he currently plays in the NYC bands NeVAh (with Vinnie Signorelli & Algis Kizys) and Five Dollar Priest (formerly Size Queens) (with Ron Ward of Speedball Baby & Bob Bert among others).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url =http://www.clockthing.com/Personalhistory2.htm )〕 He also appeared (credited as Norman Westburg) in a short film The Right Side of My Brain directed by Richard Kern and starring Lydia Lunch.
