"Young God" is the 4th release by the New York No Wave band Swans. It is also referred to as "Raping A Slave" & "I Crawled", but is referred to as "Young God" by the band. It is considered by critics to be one of their most brutal releases, sounding similar to Cop and Filth but slightly more experimental, and with subject matter exemplified by the title track, from the point of view of Ed Gein. One notable element of the release is the use of a chain and metal table in the percussion section.

It has been re-released with the Cop LP.

Kurt Cobain included it (under the name of "Raping A Slave") as his 50th favorite album on one of his last "50 favorite albums" lists in his Journals.

The Swiss band The Young Gods took their name from this EP. The Australian band Raping A Slave also take their name from the album's most infamous song.

The EP sold around 1000 copies in its first year, making it K.422's largest selling record.
