My story isn’t uncommon, there’s probably thousands out there like me who want to replace their fucked up and fading originals instead of going on YouTube or buying shitty bootlegs. If my extensive (read: quick Wikipedia search) research is correct, there hasn’t been any kind of Samhain reissue since 2001-20 years ago. I still do, after close to 30 years and half a dozen moves across various states, but they’re in sad fucking shape. I think I justified it because I still had the CDs. Those are probably the two I regret letting go of the most out of anything. I eventually had to sell both records at a time where money was fucked. It was one of those moments in time where, when you look back, you can see who you became being slowly molded by either events or culture around you.Ī few years went by, and I was able to find Initium and November Coming-Fire on vinyl at Philadelphia’s legendary Noise Pollution, one of those late, great side-street stores off South Street that contained a fucking treasure trove of excellent music. Considering this was 1994 it wasn’t difficult to track down the entire discography on CD and so, within a few months, I was fully immersed with everything the band had publicly released. It was something special, uneasy listening that challenged me, sort of like how parts of Danzig IV would as well (you can see a theme). That wasn’t my reaction (not to take anything away from Venom, of course) but Samhain genuinely sparked something in me that resembled fear. I used to read a lot of the older crowd talk about the first time they heard Venom and how it terrified them. Sure, there was some familiarity thanks to the reworking of “Halloween” but this wasn’t the ghoulish soda fountain punk vibes of the Misfits but something that was fucking unnerving. When I was 15, a dude at my local record shop noted my interest in Danzig and introduced me to Samhain via November-Coming Fire, which was unlike anything I’d ever heard at the time.
As a side note, I didn’t have a girlfriend until I was much older. Look, as the trees sort of lose some leaves and it’s in the low to mid-’80s in most of the country I’m nostalgic for a different time, a time when there used to be seasons and from the last week or so in September until October 31st Danzig reigned supreme either in my Walkman or in my room, which was adorned with several Danzig and Misfits posters. I promise I will do all of my chores and… and… fuck it. I have been a very good boy this year and all I want for Halloween is for the Samhain back catalog to be reissued.
