Episode 62: Samhain

This week we’re continuing our Halloween tradition by discussing another of Glenn Danzig’s bands—this time Samhain. (Check out Episode 11 for our episode on the Misfits.) Samhain is the second and least known of Danzig’s iconic bands. They released a handful of interesting, hooky, and at times very silly records in the mid 80s. They also often performed dripping with cow’s blood because evil and whatnot. Definitely an overlooked and underrated band whose records are unfortunately out of print and not on any streaming platforms. Check YouTube.

Closing track: “To Walk the Night” from November-Coming-Fire (1986)
