Samhain-Initium

Samhain is Glenn Danzig's second band and is a bridge of sorts from the Misfits to the band called Danzig. This album abandons the B-movie cliche's in favor of the most literal of evil. Sound-wise, we have a record slower than Earth AD, but still heavier than anything Danzig did before. It's still predominately a hardcore punk/horror punk album, as the transition to total metal hadn't been made yet. If anything, this album (and the band, Samhain) served as the proving grounds for what was to come. My favorite track has got to be "Archangel", an evil sing-along Satanic chant...If you get stoned listening to it, you hear Satan growling at you...It freaked me the fuck out a few years ago and I'm still scarred. This album made me believe that there was evil in this world and that evil happened to be a 4 foot elf named Glenn. Enjoy!
