  • Son of Sam is an Americanrock band that is a side project created by Todd Youth in 2000, during his tenure as the guitarist for Danzig. The band recorded one album, which features members of Samhain, Danzig, and AFI. Much like its members' other work, Son of Sam plays in the horror punk style, and also infuses metal and deathrock elements into their music. In 1999, Youth was invited by Glenn Danzig to fill in the guitar position for the Samhain reunion tour, replacing Samhain's original guitarist, Pete "Damien" Marshall, who had opted out in order to tour with Iggy Pop. Playing guitar for the Samhain reunion inspired Youth to write an album worth of Samhain influenced music. Youth then contacted Steve Zing and London May (both ex-Samhain members), who were impressed with what Todd had written, and agreed to help him record an album. The project was dubbed "Son of Sam," a nod to the fact that the band was spawned out of the Samhain reunion. Davey Havok, whose band, AFI, had opened for the Samhain reunion tour, was invited to write lyrics and record vocals for the album, since it was well known that Havok was a huge Samhain fan. In a very short amount of time, they recorded an album of 10 tracks called Songs from the Earth and released it on Nitro Records in 2001 . "To me, doing this record was sort of a tribute to Samhain. Playing guitar for Samhain on the reunion tour was such an honor. I had forgotten how much I love and respect the band," Youth stated. The album featured guest appearances from Glenn Danzig on two tracks. In December 2007, messages on the Horror High website indicate that a follow up record is being made. It has been stated that Davey Havok will not return on vocals as although he has said numerous times that he would love to make a new Son of Sam album, he is unable to as he is constantly busy with commitments to AFI's record label, Interscope. Todd Youth released a statement saying while Davey would not be doing vocals, he gave the rest of the band his full blessing in seeking a replacement vocalist. The band is named after USPS employee turned serial killer David Berkowitz, whose nickname was "Son of Sam", but is also meant to be a play on "Son of Samhain", as the band was born out of the Samhain reunion shows.
  • Son of Sam ist eine US-amerikanische Horrorpunk- und Death Rock-Musikgruppe, die als Nebenprojekt von Todd Youth gegründet wurde. Der Name der Band lehnt sich an den Serienmörder David Berkowitz an, der diese Bezeichnung nutzte.
  • Son Of Sam era un supergrupo norteamericano de Horror punk ideado por Todd Youth en 2000, mientras tocaba en el grupo Danzig. El grupo grabó un álbum, en el que aparecen miembros de Samhain, Danzig y AFI. En 1999, Youth fue invitado por Glenn Danzig para ocupar el puesto de guitarrista en la gira de reunión de Samhain, reeplazando al guitarrista original Pete "Damien" Marshall. Tocar con Samhain inspiró a Youth para escribir un álbum inspirado en la música de Samhain. Youth contactó con Steve Zing y London May (ambos ex miembros de Samhain), quienes quedaron impresionados con lo que Youth había escrito, y decidieron ayudarle a grabar el álbum. El proyecto se llamó "Son of Sam", un guiño al hecho de que el proyecto surgió durante la reunión de Samhain. Davey Havok, cuyo grupo, AFI, teloneó a Samhain durante la gira, fue invitado a escribir las letras y grabar la voz para el álbum. En muy poco tiempo grabaron un álbum de 10 canciones llamado "Songs From The Earth" que vio la luz en Nitro Records en 2001 En diciembre del 2007, por medio de la web Horror High se anunció que el nuevo disco de la banda estaba en proceso de grabación. El nombre escogido para este nuevo disco, que será lanzado el 16 de septiembre del 2008, es Into the Night. En esta nueva producción Davey Havok no participaría por falta de tiempo, vacante que será ocupada por Ian Thorne.
