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"
