Samhain-a tribute

We all want our time in Hell -Glenn Danzig

About Me

THE INFAMOUS BAND FROM LODI, NJ, THE MISFITS, IMPLODED ON THE NITE OF OCT. 31ST. 1983 IN DETROIT, MI...THE MISFITS' FOUNDER, VOCALIST, AND SONGWRITER; GLENN DANZIG, QUICKLY RECRUITED KINDRED SPIRITS IN EERIE VON AND STEVE ZING...THE RESULT WAS AN EVEN MORE MALEVOLENT CREATION THAT ROSE FROM THE ASHES OF THE MISFITS...SAMHAIN! AN INFERNAL BAND THAT SERVED UP MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF REAL-LIFE HORROR, INTENSITY, DARKNESS, AND EROTICISM STRAIGHT INTO THE HEARTS, MINDS, AND LOINS OF PUNK, GOTH, AND METAL AUDIENCES. THEY WERE FAMOUS FOR THEIR "BLOOD SHOWS," WHICH FEATURED EVERY MEMBER COVERED IN THE BLOOD (AS RUMOR HAS IT) OF SLAUGHTERED ANIMALS. AFTER EX-MINOR THREAT GUITARIST LYLE PRESLAR LEFT THE BAND AFTER 1 SHOW, PETE MARSHALL AKA DAMIEN WAS SOON ADDED AS GUITARIST IN 1984. IN 1985, ORIGINAL DRUMMER STEVE ZING VACATED THE DRUM THRONE AND WAS REPLACED BY BALTIMORE NATIVE LONDON MAY...IN 1987, SAMHAIN METAMORPHISIZED INTO DANZIG.IN 1999, GLENN DANZIG BROUGHT BACK SAMHAIN (FROM THE SHADOWS) AS THE OPENING ACT ON HIS 'SATANS CHILD' TOUR...HOWEVER, THIS LINEUP DID NOT FEATURE ORIGINAL MEMBERS EERIE VON OR DAMIEN (FOR VARIOUS REASONS WHICH WE RESPECT.) THE FIENDS' APPETITES WERE SATIATED NEVERTHELESS.NO OFFICIAL WORD ON ANY FUTURE SHOWS OR PROJECTS...'THE SON OF SAM' ALBUM FEATURING STEVE ZING, LONDON MAY, (AND A GUEST APPEARANCE BY GLENN DANZIG,) IS THE CLOSEST THING TO DATE.THIS IS OUR TRIBUTE TO THIS OFTEN OVERLOOKED, YET HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL BAND...SO, ENJOY YOUR VISIT HERE IN OUR INNER SANCTUM OF EVIL...YOU MAY NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN...;)SINcerely,-THE UNHOLY ADMIN.
