ROCKTROPOLIS, 6/18/98 --------------------- Glenn Danzig Reunites Samhain For Tour, Box Set Most people recall the Misfits, Glenn Danzig's precursor to his namesake band, but remember Samhain? The post- Misfits, pre- Danzig band on Caroline Records? Well, Danzig is planning a Samhain reunion tour and box set for later this year. Acting as guest DJ on a Los Angeles pirate radio station Tuesday (June 16) night, Danzig confirmed that the original members of Samhain will reunite for about eight to 10 shows in the U.S. A box set, featuring previously released Samhain material as well as some previously unreleased live tracks, is also in the works. According to a spokesperson at Danzig's Verotik publishing company, the box set will likely feature five CDs and a live video. A label hasn't been secured for the project yet, as Danzig is label- less after parting ways with Hollywood Records a while back. The mini-tour will coincide with the not- yet- determined release of the box set. Meanwhile, Danzig is working on a new album as well, and will hit some European festivals with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page and Rammstein this summer. -Carrie Borzillo
