When horror punk trailblazers the Misfits called it quits in 1983, Samhain was already cooking in the back of singer Glenn Danzig’s mind. Although they still maintained the horror aesthetic, Samhain was notably darker with an emphasis on the occult. The tempo was less thrash, a late-era direction that lead to the Misfits ultimate demise with their Earth AD album. Songs from the Misfits era were revisited, like Archangel which was penned by Glenn intended for Dave Vanian of The Damned; Halloween and Horror Business were also given the new sonic treatment. They would put out three albums before Danzig embarked on his solo career.
