SON OF SAM Announces New Singer

May 21, 2008

SON OF SAM, the resurrected band led by DANZIG guitarist Todd Youth, has announced the addition of singer Ian Thorne to the group's ranks. Ian joins Youth, Steve Zing and Karl "RockFist" Rosqvist, all of whom performed as DANZIG's band on his last tour.

In other news, SON OF SAM has posted a new track, "The Bleeding", on its MySpace page. The song comes off the band's sophomore album, "Into The Night", tentatively due this fall through Horror High, LLC.

Formed in 2000, SON OF SAM started as a horror rock "supergroup" side project created by Todd Youth during his tenure as the guitar player for SAMHAIN/DANZIG. The band recorded one album, which featured guest appearances by members of SAMHAIN, DANZIG and AFI.

After nearly a seven-year absence, SON OF SAM is back.

Commented Todd Youth: "After doing the three weeks of this past Halloween tour with DANZIG, Steve and I had so much fun playing together again we decided the time was right for SON OF SAM II."
