Just when the hard-core/ punk movement seemed chewed up,
swallowed and spat into a sea of nothingness, SON OF SAM
have come bearing the fruit of all that is death-rock integrity.
Formed in 2001, following AFI's tour with Samhain and
Danzig, SON OF SAM is the brain child of guitarist Todd Youth,
vocalist Davey Havok (AFI), drummer London May
(Samhain, Tiger Army, Dag Nasty), and bassist Steve Zing
(Samhain, Doomtree). The project began almost accidentally with
May, Youth, and Zing penning four tracks one night out of
simple boredom. Havok was asked to write and record the vocals.
Before long, SON OF SAM
(a name created by Youth) was spawned.
1. Of Power
2. Stray
3. Evernight
4. In The Hills
5. Songs From The Earth
6. Satiate
7. Of Man
8. Michael
9. Purevil
10. Invocation
Son of Sam started as a horror rock "supergroup" side project created by Todd Youth in 2000, while playing guitar for Samhain/Danzig. Son of Sam recorded one album, which features members of Samhain, Danzig, and AFI.
After nearly a 7 year absence, Son Of Sam is back.
Commented Todd Youth After doing the 3 weeks of this past Halloween tour with Danzig, Steve and I had so much fun playing together again we decided the time was right for Son Of Sam II.
