Black Donut Records Announce ‘World Without End: An Underground Tribute To Samhain’

Black Donut Records have announced that they will release World Without End: An Underground Tribute To Samhain on July 9th. While celebrating well-known legends is certainly a worthwhile endeavor, sometimes the underdog deserves a tribute. In that spirit, it’s high time for the unholy Samhain to enjoy a little bit of the limelight. Black Donut Records, in collaboration with twelve underground bands unified by a singular passion for Danzig’s lesser-known work, will release a compilation album dedicated to the finest purveyors of gritty occult deathrock.

From a curatorial perspective, Black Donut Records seeks to shed some well-deserved love on an act regrettably neglected by the fickle tides of fame and fortune. Wedged in the timeline between the beloved horror-punk of The Misfits and the blusier doom of Danzig, the legacy of the ghoulish Samhain has been regrettably lost in the fray. Their catalog has been out of print for decades, and is unavailable on streaming services, a death knell in the modern era. With the small-yet-dedicated fandom left to scrounge YouTube‘s dark corners for a modicum of access to their discography, the unfortunately inaccessible Samhain are long overdue for some attention.
