Lyle Preslar

Lyle played guitar on the first album and also at the first Samhain show ever. His participation in the band was a remnant of an attempted supergroup combining ex-Misfit Glenn Danzig, and ex-Minor Threat members Lyle Preslar and Brian Baker. Lyle supplied lead guitar work on the following Initium songs: "Black Dream," "Macabre," "Horror Biz," and "The Shift." After the first Samhain show, Lyle went on to work with The 400, The Meatmen, and Caroline Records. His first band was called The Extorts.
