Samhain (band)

HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "Instruments" is not recognized

Samhain is an American rock band formed by singer Glenn Danzig in 1983, immediately following his departure from Misfits. Samhain played in more of a deathrock and heavy metal-infused style of horror punk than Danzig's previous band. By 1987 Samhain's membership evolved into a new band, Danzig. After briefly reuniting in 1999, and again in 2011 and 2012, Samhain announced their fourth reunion in 2014.

Band history

Glenn Danzig originally planned Samhain as a side project with Eerie Von. After his earlier group, the Misfits, contentiously dissolved, Samhain became his full-time band. Samhain is the least-celebrated of Danzig's major musical outlets and catalogs a transitional period in his musical career, bridging the gap between the punk rock of the Misfits and the dark, heavy metal and blues-influenced sound of Danzig. Both Samhain and its successor, Danzig, use the same horned skull image originally drawn by artist Michael Golden for the cover of the 1984 comic book The Saga of Crystar No. 8, published by Marvel Comics. The font often used in the name logo of Samhain, and later Danzig, is taken from the film The Giant Gila Monster.

+/- (band)

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.

Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain

Samhain, or Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain, is a 2003 Canadian horror film, starring Bobbie Phillips, Richard Grieco, and pornographic actor legends Ginger Lynn Allen, Chasey Lain, Taylor Hayes, and Jenna Jameson.

The plot concerns a group of American students camping in Ireland, and studying the legends of the Druids, who are attacked by deformed mutant cannibals from the backwoods.

The film was originally produced in 2002–2003, in a longer version with more blood humor and nudity, titled simply Samhain, but languished until 2005–2006, when it was shortened, retitled Evil Breed: The Legend of Samhain, and released on DVD by Lions Gate Entertainment. It has also played on cable television on the Showtime network.
