Review by Gugulethu Mokwebo

Unholy Passion, the debut album by American punk rock band Samhain, is a haunting and intense musical journey that showcases the band's unique sound and style. Released in 1985, the album features a mix of punk rock, gothic rock, and heavy metal, with lyrics that explore themes of death, darkness, and the occult.

From the opening track "Initium" to the closing song "Archangel," Unholy Passion takes the listener on a dark and brooding ride. The songs are driven by fast and furious guitar riffs, pounding drums, and Glenn Danzig's powerful vocals. The album's standout tracks include "All Hell," "Moribund," and "He-Who-Can-Not-Be-Named," which showcase the band's ability to create a dark and menacing atmosphere.

About Samhain

A death rock band from Lodi, New Jersey, formed in 1983 by vocalist Glenn Danzig and bassist Eerie Von following the breakup of The Misfits. In 1987 line-up changes led to the group dissolving and evolving into a completely new band named Danzig. Samhain's last album Final Descent was released after the split-up in 1990. In 1999 Glenn Danzig organized a brief reunion tour in U.S. Since then they have done few partial reunion live performances in 2011, 2012 and 2014. None of the reunions have included bassist Eerie Von or guitarist Pete Marshall.
