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!
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.
November-Coming-Fire is the very first Glenn related record I ever heard. It had a profound impact on me. I'll never forget listening to it for the first time
November coming fire is one of my all time fav records. The influence it had on certain artists AFI, integrity, vvegas, ringworm and the band called November coming fire.
Danzig didn't write the music for that album ncf. He bought the music from another duo of artists from the early 60s. I can't rember there name but it's a fact
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!!
I definitely love these in depth introspectives! Keep it up!! As someone (47 years old now) who has loved the Misfits since 13 years of age. I stumbled upon Samhain via the archangel track.
Great channel! I don't know how I haven't stumbled across it before. I became a Misfits fanatic in '90 and was super excited when I learned about Samhain. I tried, I really tried to get into in the same way; I had that freaking wall sized b&w poster from the Intium photoshoot, so I did like them but other than songs like He Who Cannot Be Named, Archangel and a few others, it just didn't hit me the same way. Danzig (the band) had the same effect. The Misfits covers made me realize how much I preferred the melodic punk and over the top B-Grade horror movie vibe of the originals. Once he started getting all serious about the subject matter it lost a lot of charm for me. It sucks that it's hard to find now; I would like to revisit more of it.
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!
Misery Tomb is the bass and background vocals from I Am Misery. You can hear the full track bleeding through the headphones in the vocal booth of the studio at certain parts. Really cool.
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.
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.
Saw them on the Season of the Dead Tour in 85 and the Shift when they paused was tense then when it kicked back in crowd went crazy. Samhain live or Misfits? Samhain definitely! I have my original Unholy Passion White Vinyl in burgundy cover I play on occasion. My favorite Samhain release. Never for sale! ;-)
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!!!!
Initium & NCF are my favorites 🔥🔥🔥 Initium is probably my favorite but they usually bounce back and forth between the two. I have that Black Dream bootleg cd that has the original mix of Unholy Passion ep plus a lot of rare stuff. I’m so happy I bought all the Samhain releases back in the day cause the prices are crazy now lol I have all the original cd first pressings plus the 2000 reissue cds, the boxset and original lps along with a bunch of bootlegs lol
10/10, great job on this video brother. I’ve been a huge Danzig/Samhain fan for nearly 20 years and even learned a few things in this video. Your hard work paid off! Great job
I'm lucky enough to own a copy of the original 1990 final descent (with the unholy passion EP as the second half). And for some reason, it remains my all time favorite of the Samhain albums.
Good job dude. Thank you. Danzig V is incredible but i understand not initially liking it. Its actually his closest album to a Samhain album. Hint of her blood, sacrifice and Serpentia are some of his finest work. His vocals took a backseat to the overall production but it will slowly grow on you. See all you were is Samhain. I love all of Glenn's work except Circle of Snakes. Lol
As a 48yr old, you always get me hyped to listen to stuff ive listed to a million times and kinda moved on from. Like "Oh yeah, those are incredible albums..." Well written script dude. 👏
You did a fantastic analysis of this period of Glenn’s career. Samhain might be my favourite of his three bands. Keep up the good work! I also have a channel where I analyze music and movies.
Great video. For any one interested in listening to these albums I hear if you type keywords Samhain Blog, there may be a blogspot that may or may not be hosting these albums in mp3 form. 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.
I was going to ask you. Ps good to see young people into the Damned, all things Danzig til 4. Twisted Sister. Etc Hell I bought Club Daze because of watching you. And the Twisted Sister documentary in the same week. Couple years back.
James telling the story of getting lyrics from Glen is hilarious cause he said every time they'd reach out to get a lyrics sheet, it would be ddifferent lol
Good research here. I wonder if you’ve seen my video, “To Walk the Night: A Tribute to Samhain.” You’d enjoy it! Hopefully Cleopatra reissues these albums in a timely fashion.
Dude these are so awesome! Watched the misfits retrospective and Samhain retrospective b2b. Do a Danzig one! Sure Danzig 5-9 or whatever last album came out are well, to put it lightly, each one is probably better than the next. Still it’s worth doing a retrospective! Also do a type-o-negative one!
Man , I had that boxset you showed a glimpse of at the beginning . Some bastard stole it from my house ! I REALLY wish I knew who did it . But that was 20 years ago ! Karmageddon I hope rains down on him .
I love Danzig from his music to who he is. He clearly understands his own art but at the same time he’s one of the biggest trolls lmfao that man lives to piss people off 😂
12:57 Funny you say that because Unholy Passion was my starting point with Samhain. I own a bootleg copy on vinyl and was the first Samhain release I listened to.
You didnt talk about the HOWL. And barely mentioned THE HUNGRY END. Two of the best for me... But this video was absolutely great and I cant thank you enough.
I hate when people shit on Danzig it bothers me the man deserves all the credit he has got over the years people now will praise nirvana over alot of the work danzig has done
This and the misfits one were great!!! A Danzig one would be nice too. Yes, the first 4 albums are essential, I'll give you 5, 6, 7, and not being great, I think they're fine but whatever. However, circle of snakes and Deth Red Saboath are killer! After that, the rest is terrible.🤣🤣🤣
Tis the season. Last year I played Misfits and Damned covers at several open mics but this year I was too busy working. Must be time to quit haha. I will see if I can learn Mother Of Mercy on electric guitar. My acoustic punk covers are a bit lacking. Stay hungry and poor, fiends.
Oh...I was very, very, lucky. Downtown San Diego had a mom & pop record store that had all the weird and all that was rare. I cast my eyes about, and what did I spy (in '99 going on 2000?) The Samhain BOX SET? $79.99? Oh, believe me. I pulled out my money faster than a sailor pulled out of a cheating wife. Descent became my favorite album. How about the rest of you?
My buddy dropped the 80$, so I could cheap out and have hime record rhem onto disc fir me. But...all these years later they are scratched up and worn out, and I am screwed. I did have INITIUM on cd, but it went the way of Amelia Erhardt( the lost pilot lady? No idea how to spell it).
When I was a kid I use to speak about the November Coming Fire record as a warning what is coming in November. Apparently this still holds true.😁 This is was such a good record.
" Misery Tomb " is literally the (chorus) track to " Iam Misery " ..If you crank up misery tomb you can hear the track buried under the bass or synth sound .
Misfits is my favorite band, but Moribund is the first/most favorite song I've heard from Samhain, in my opinion the best one because it builds up so much creepy tension, then releases it, almost like a more death rock oriented type of song than All Hell Breaks Loose
Thanks for this. Never knew much about Samhain. Danzig lineup with Biscuits, Christ and Eerie Von is my go to. Like you said first 4. Haven't tried to go beyond that much. Pissed me off that they broke, but you know Chuck was done. He likes to draw. That was the first blood. It's good to see some of them back together...but there will never be another like the best 4 with the first 4 lol. So Glenn is still blocking shit. Oh well. He's older than i am, maybe he'll mellow out quick before it's too late eh?🖤👻🤘🏼☠️
One of the influences on Type O Negative. Samhain was his best band,not many appreciate their transformation sound & overall influence on post punk/heavy metal.
Great video. Reminded me of my love for Samhain. 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 saw Glenn say in an interview that 5 was basically a 90s SAMHAIN record....which made me re-listen To It In A Different Mindset Cause I First Hated It Too.
Fuckin' thank you for doing these retrospective videos I literally just stumbled across your channel and this being my 2nd video of yours I've watched it just like the first video (misfits retrospective) had me stopped what I was doing and literally glued to it thanks... Next video is going to be a fucking real tear jerker (The Smiths Retrospective) Thanks again for the time and effort you put into your videos P.s FUCKIN SAMHAIN IS Danzig at his fucking finest 😊
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.
Holy Hell! YESssss! Happy - other side of what once lived - season - o - ween. The End has begun. To quote QOTSA : "The End is Really F#$%^g Nigh. So, you know - Strange Days, in a final kinda way. (fffantastic editing and leg-work, Brother) -sweet treat on an important night. I appreciate it. Hail Satan

Love samhain have the box set
Seen Samhain twice, both in Chicago. First show at the Metro in 1986 the other was at riot fest 2014.
Danzig invented his own world and every time I listen to his music, I am transformed to that world.....Not many bands can do that
GAY
King Diamond and maybe Dio? I think Glen Danzig is up there with them
Yeah, Dio did that too. King Diamond as well event hough he isnt my cup of tea@@kyleisreal_tv
You don't love anything? @@ongogablogian3178

Thanks for covering the Less Than Zero circumstances! Great video- love all the minutia and details.
November coming fire is one of my all time fav records. The influence it had on certain artists AFI, integrity, vvegas, ringworm and the band called November coming fire.
Dude!!.. haven't seen Anyone mention either RINGWORM, or NOVEMBER COMING FIRE in the same sentence..
@∅

I seen the 99’ reunion tour( phx,AZ ) plus the 2014 reunion tour in philly,PA. I can die happy. The cherry on top. I got the bloody towel and setlist.
Seen them in Providence. Got Glenn's blood cup. Plastic Budweiser cup with GD written in black marker.
Definitely an underrated band. I cannot live through a Fall that doesn’t have To Walk the Night on it’s soundtrack
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 have a bunch of 1st pressing Misfits, SAMHAIN, and the first Danzig albums,, very cool. I seen Misfits in Ann Arbor Mi in 82 in some old theater,,
Misery Tomb is the bass and background vocals from I Am Misery. You can hear the full track bleeding through the headphones in the vocal booth of the studio at certain parts. Really cool.
I like blackacidevil. It sounds like an industrial version of Samhain.
It's terrible.
He was trying to be Nine Inch Nails. It's was way worse though.
Agree. Samhain vibe throughout 5
My favorite of the 3 Danzig projects. I've got my minty copy of the boxed set.
The music and darker tone was just so good
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.

To walk the night, Let the day begin and Archangel are my favorite Samhain songs
I’m lucky to own all Samhain records! My favorite tune of theirs is “To Walk the Night”
"You & Me Less Than Zero" is my All Time favorite song.
Always dug danzig met him in 96 to cool and super down to earth. Fan forever.
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.

I agree with your opinion on Archangel... Might be Glens finest moment
Angelfuck is another one that’s in the top 5
I’m of the opinion that To Walk the Night is his finest moment
I paid $30 for Samhain and Danzig bootlegs in the 90s!! Cool video
Late as 1991 Samhain III was in Camelot and Disc Jockey record stores. (Corporate Mall stores)
Always my favorite by Danzig. Samhain is some of the most unique, darkly fun music I’ve ever heard.
I'm lucky enough to own a copy of the original 1990 final descent (with the unholy passion EP as the second half). And for some reason, it remains my all time favorite of the Samhain albums.
Great overview, listened them and Misfits very much the last month

I was going to ask you. Ps good to see young people into the Damned, all things Danzig til 4. Twisted Sister. Etc
Hell I bought Club Daze because of watching you. And the Twisted Sister documentary in the same week. Couple years back.
it is really good stuff. That intro was, wo - a very very evil chef's kiss to you, sir. Good stuff.

Halloween II, Chef's Kiss. What a delight!
Dude, great coverage! More attention given to Samhain, the way God intended 😌🤘
thanks, homie
Man , I had that boxset you showed a glimpse of at the beginning . Some bastard stole it from my house ! I REALLY wish I knew who did it . But that was 20 years ago ! Karmageddon I hope rains down on him .

Love the production on this mids where def scooped
I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND the intro about the tangibility of Autumn/Halloween

@@ScoopedMids no problem man. I'm just being a tool. Very good video of a great band.
Great job! As a Misfits fan Samhain has always been a mystery to me and I love learning about the underrated band!
There is nothing that sounds Iike Samhain, unique at its finest
November Coming Fire is my favorite Samhain album. It's better than Earth AD. It's better than any post-4P Danzig albums.
I hate when people shit on Danzig it bothers me the man deserves all the credit he has got over the years people now will praise nirvana over alot of the work danzig has done

It’s a shame Samhain isn’t streaming
I saw Samhain once in Chicago it got old real fast. Back in the day I was at
That Show I in 1986. at the Metro
Samhain is my favorite, just the whole feel to it. On side note any Samhain fan I recommend check out Zombeast, especially their newest album

Thankyou for the retrospective. I really enjoy your channel dude.
Thanks, my dude.
Danzig V blackaciddevil is one of the best records ever recorded
Lol
I have all of those on cassette on account of being alive back then lol
Samhain is the most influential band for me of all time
One of the influences on Type O Negative. Samhain was his best band,not many appreciate their transformation sound & overall influence on post punk/heavy metal.
Love Danzig !!!!
Great video. Reminded me of my love for Samhain. 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 saw Glenn say in an interview that 5 was basically a 90s SAMHAIN record....which made me re-listen To It In A Different Mindset Cause I First Hated It Too.

Good job I agree with you about Archangel and I always felt like Bloodfeast off Earth AD was more a Samhain song but it’s ALL Danzig
Hahahahaha.i have the boxset w/scarecrow pin,all the vinyl and the cassette types.plus a lot of there shirts.
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.
The correct pronunciation is Sah win.
There it is!
I hear the howl!!
Awesome video!
I’d check out the band Final Gasp, they capture the Samhain sound very well.
17:25 speaking of Zombeast did a nice cover of Mother of Mercy
I WANT IT NOWWWWWW
Sorry for new fans. I have it all original vinyl, some misfits and danzig and almost all of Glenn's work pre 2000 on disc
I loved Samhain.
Final Descent is basically Danzig 0.
There's a few bangers on it.
