Son of Sam - Songs From the Earth

No, not the serial killer. The Band.

I made a Horror rock playlist, so why don't you stop everything you are doing and listen :)

I was thinking about Son of Sam the other day and I realized that I had never posted about them.

Son of Sam was a horror rock side project or a 'super group' of sorts. Son of Sam started in 2000 by Todd Youth, guitarist for the legendary band Danzig. Todd sought out Davey (from AFI) to write the songs and sing, also Steve Zing and London May both from the band Samhain.

The album "Songs From the Earth" was released in 2001 on Nitro Records (AFI's record label at the time, owned by Dexter Holland from the Offspring). This Album is so awesome. The songs are powerful, lyrically flawless, timeless. If you are a fan of The Misfits, Danzig, Samhain, Tiger Army, AFI and you don't have this album, you need it. Son of Sam never played a live show unfortunately.

Then in 2007 rumors were flying around about a Son of Sam return. Well, the rumors were true but Davey turned down the invitation to do the followup. The new album is alright but its just not the same.
