Satanic Slaughter was a black metal band from Sweden.

History

Having previously performed under the name Evil Cunt, the group first adopted the name Satanic Slaughter in 1985.^[1] The group went through several guitarists and other lineup changes in its early years before releasing its first demo, One Night in Hell, in 1988. The group split late in 1989 due to lead guitarist Ztephan "Dark" Karlsson's imprisonment for assault.^[1] In 1992, the group re-formed with former members of Seance, and began playing again in November 1994.

This lineup recorded its first album in 1996, which was issued on Necropolis Records; a second album followed on the same label the next year. In 1997, this incarnation of the group disbanded, and all of the members except Dark went on to reunite under the name Witchery;^[2] following this, Dark decided to reconstitute the band with new members.^[1]

Further lineup changes occurred between 1997 and the release of their next LP, 2000's Afterlife Kingdom, which was followed by touring in Europe with Ragnarok.^[1] In the wake of Witchery's success, Necropolis reissued Satanic Slaughter and Land of the Unholy Souls on one disc as The Early Years: Dawn of Darkness in 2001.^[2] 2002 saw the group release Banished to the Underworld and more European touring with Lord Belial and Corporation 187.^[1] In 2004, the group returned to Europe to tour with Misericordia and Avenger.^[1]

After a short hiatus the group reassembled, again with new members, and announced new plans in March 2006. However, these were quickly cut short when Dark, the only remaining original member of the group, died of heart failure in April 2006.^[1]

Samhain was 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 Misfits. Glenn Danzig originally planned Samhain as a side project with Eerie Von. After the Misfits' contentious 1983 dissolution, Samhain became Danzig's 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.
