Samhain : Initium



Initium

 is the 1984 
debut album of
 Samhain
released on lead singer
 Glenn Danzig's
 independent record label,
 Plan 9.
 In various interviews 
Danzig states that
 the album's title, 
which translates from
 Latin to English as
 "beginning", 
represents his new start
after disbanding his 
prior band, 
The Misfits
in 1983. 
Most of the final track,
 "Archangel", 
was actually recorded
 in March 1981, 
and was originally meant
 to either be a
 Misfits song
 featuring
 Dave Vanian
 (who never did vocals for the song)
 or a track for the band
 The Damned.
 The track
 "Horror Biz"
 likewise dates to
 Danzig's Misfits era,
 as it is a new version 
of 
"Horror Business" 
with different
 musical arrangements. 
The album was recorded 
at Reel Platinum studio 
in Lodi, New Jersey,
 excluding the
 introduction which was
 recorded at
 Eerie Von's home 
on a four track cassette

Slayer : Haunting the Chapel [ E.P. ]




Haunting the Chapel 

is an EP
 released by 
American 
thrash metal band
 Slayer
 in 1984
 through
 Metal Blade 
and
 Enigma Records. 
Slayer's debut album 
Show No Mercy 
became 
Metal Blade's
 highest selling,
 leading to producer 
Brian Slagel 
wanting to release 
an EP. 
Recorded in Hollywood, 
the recording process
 proved difficult
 when recording drums
 in a studio 
without carpet, 
although it 
resulted in drummer
 Dave Lombardo 
meeting 
Gene Hoglan
 who was to
 become an influence
 in his drumming style
 and speed.
 It was during the
 recording of this session
 that Lombardo
 first had the 
double bass added 
to his kit. 
Hoglan, 
working for Slayer
 at the time, 
sat at the kit 
and played a
 double bass
 for the first time. 
Lombardo 
was impressed 
and although Hoglan
 never gave him lessons, 
he did give him tips
 regarding the use of
 the double kick drum.
Although originally 
featuring three songs,
 the record evidences a
 marked evolution
 from the style of their
 previous album, 
Show No Mercy
and is considered 
the first demonstration 
of the band's
 "classic" style
 displayed on
 later albums 
and is often 
described as a
 "stepping stone"
