Samhain
A death rock band from Lodi, New Jersey, formed in 1983 by vocalist Glenn Danzig and bassist Eerie Von following the breakup of The Misfits. In 1987 line-up changes led to the group dissolving and evolving into a completely new band named Danzig. Samhain's last album Final Descent was released after the split-up in 1990.
Danzig took the name of the band from the Irish month of November and pre-Christian, Celtic festival Samhain, the origin of the modern Halloween. Despite the festival being pronounced "sau-win", the band's name is often pronounced as "sam-hane". Glenn Danzig has said that both pronunciations are correct.
In 1999 Glenn Danzig organized a brief reunion tour in U.S. Since then they have done few partial reunion live performances in 2011, 2012 and 2014. None of the reunions have included bassist Eerie Von or guitarist Pete Marshall.
