Samhain - Possession

9th and last track of the last Samhain album "Final Descent", only on the re-release from 2001 on EvilivE/E-Magine records. The Plan 9/Caroline version has the "Unholy Passion" EP as the B-side. "Final Descent" was planned to be released as "Samhain Grim" in 1988, but it never happened.
This song was originally written for "Samhain Grim" but ended up on the first Danzig album.

whats on this album cover? i always wondered that for years

[Honkofthewall]

It's a blurry live image of Glenn.

[shitaintfunny]

maybe that´s the reason he hides his voice between all those strange industrial tones....what a pity. he could at least continue with songs like "come to silver", that should still be managable. better than his new-age crap. sorry to say, still a huge fan

[Honkofthewall]

I don't think so. He still has his voice, yes it's not the same as 20 years ago, but he still has it. Listen to "When We Were Dead" for example. And he didn't do industrial because of that of course. He left Rick Rubin, so he had no influence any longer, which meant Glenn could do anything he wanted again (just like Samhain back then). So Danzig 5-CoS is Samhain in the 20th/21st century for me.

Wait, so you're saying the reason he was all bluesy was because of him or what?

[Honkofthewall]

Well, Rick certainly had a big influence on Glenn at the time, just compare November Coming Fire/Final Descent with the Danzig debut. I'm not saying that Glenn didn't want to play bluesy music, but that Rubin probably encouraged him to do the blues stuff instead of the hardcore punk he was playing before.

I'm totally not in the mood of discussing religions or anything, so please stop commenting on my videos if you don't like 'em, thanks.

I'm gonna take a bath in blood now and eat some children.

It looks like Steven Tyler hahaha but I think it's Danzig.

[mralmeister1]

yeah I saw him this year back in may and his voice was great. I didnt know how it would be cause it had been several years since I saw him last.

[DoktorSick]

thanks for posting !! This souinds kick ass !!!! Samhain was always my fave glenn danzig band !

[ericdanzig13]

thats what i thought too, maybe why he chose it?

[Ty Widner]

I also prefer the band's backing vocals rather than the female backing the Danzig version had in the chorus.

[Ty Widner]

Yeah, I could always tell though that Possession and Twist of Cain were Samhain songs originally, I just felt it somehow, and then I looked them up at one point and confirmed it.

[Noah Concepcion]

lol nope for like 10 years it never crossed my mind it was glenn lmao

[IDKSOMTHIN]

Could You Really Not See That? Haha
