I remember feeling like such an outcast badass wearing the November Coming Fire tee shirt as a kid. Looking back I realize I was just a nerd that knew about some pretty cool music🤷♂️😂

Same... "discovered" Samhain in '93 at a garage sale - cassette tape w/ no sleeve for 25¢. Within 6 months, had all 3 albums, an "Initium" poster (which my mom wouldn't let me put up in my room, lol), and the "november coming fire" T-shirt. No one I knew knew about Samhain, not even the metalhead who turned me on to punk/metal; I was a cult of one for years!

Archangel is one of my absolute favorite songs! My second favorite Samhain song is To Walk the Night! Luckily, I bought the Samhain Box set when it came out in 2000ish. I lost the cool box the CDs came in 😢 but I still have the CDs!! Those CDs are gold! I also copied the music to my laptop so I can burn new ones if the original CDs kick the bucket! I would be very sad if I couldn’t listen to Samhain whenever I want to. About Halloween II, when I was in middle school in ‘93, my art teacher saw I had wrote down the lyrics for that song in my notebook, and since he knew some Latin, he translated the lyrics for me 😂…that was awesome of him!

I was at the very first Samhain show at the Rock Hotel in NYC in early 1984 (or very late 83, can’t remember exactly), Lyle Pressler from Minor Threat played guitar for that show. It was epic, we knew it was going to be big.

I definitely think Samhain is probably my favorite material of Danzig's writing output. The atmosphere on NCF is solid and unique. It's own thing. I revisit it more then any of Glenn's releases. I saw them live in '99 which was a high point in my concert attendance experiences. Great job on this Retro. I'm definitely looking forward to your Danzig Retro next!! At least those first four releases!!

Samhain is a great band that is sadly overlooked. I have Initium, Unholy Passion EP, and November Coming Fire and appreciated Glenn's journey from punk rock to metal. The dark atmosphere, occult lyrics and experimental musicianship gave Samhain a leg up on its peers. A perfect retrospective for the Autumn season and I look forward to your Danzig retrospective.

I wrote a review of the Samhain boxset on the e-music website which was publishing his music at the time, they used it (without my name or information) as a "this is what a fan says about the boxset" on their site which was cool, but I said some of the things you highlight here.. a stripped down gothic horror masterpiece full of dread and oozing with evil percussion ...I think truly some of Glenn's best work. Most people don't know about the Less than zero soundtrack, so thanks for mentioning it.. another track a lot of people haven't heard is the song Father's Grave by Melissa Auf der Maur which includes Danzig's vocals and unfortunately didn't get the airplay it deserved. It can be found here on youtube and Glenn's vocals stand out over everything else.

I saw Danzig and Venom in Portland OR back in 2017 shit was fucking epic. He played all my favorite songs. And even ripped a few deep cuts out like Dirty Black Summer and How The Gods Kill. He also play 20 Eyes from the Misfits. Sadly he did not play any Samhain. But with so many great albums how do you play them all? LOL Funny enough I did not know about Samhain tell late high school back in 2011. Kinda Funny when you been jamming to Danzig since middle school only to find out he had other bands laughs. Great breakdown cheers! Happy late Halloween!!!!

These need to be re released, maybe it will happen, Danzig has recently had Danzig 5, 6, 7, Circle of Snakes, Black Aria and Who killed Marilyn pressed by Cleopatra Records, so hopefully these gems are in the works.

And yeah, Danzig 1-4 is all I'd care to hear about too in a Danzig retrospective, it was great to hear someone else voice the utter disappointment of Danzig 5 after getting rid of the players who made the Danzig sound what it is. That's like firing the Funk Brothers and trying to still make Motown hits.

I got an Initium Bootleg vinyl a few years back on Violet Vinyl, it sounds pretty good and I don't feel bad at all about purchasing a Bootleg because Danzig refuses to release officials. Luckily I was able to acquire official release CD's before they got too expensive. I doubt i'll ever own the Samhain Boxset unless I'm able to find it somewhere and the person selling it has no idea what it goes for. haha yeah right. For a guy who loves to make money as much as Glenn off Misfits it's really strange how he won't so the same with Samhain but I guess he can be commended in a way for sticking to his guns about what he owns.

So many excellent Samhain songs but for me The Howl is the best. The timing of the instruments feels off and that makes the song. I saw Samhain open for Danzing in '99. They did the show covered in blood. Then Glen came back out with Danzig. It was incredible.
