Now Streaming on Netflix: Samhain Returns With a Dark New Anthem

Now Streaming on Netflix: Samhain Returns With a Dark New Anthem

After years of cult reverence and whispered rumors, horror‑punk pioneers **Samhain** have clawed their way back into the moonlight with a brand‑new single, streaming exclusively on Netflix’s music hub. Equal parts brooding and feral, the track—titled **“Blood Moon Rising”**—channels the spectral atmospherics of *November‑Coming‑Fire* while shoving the amps into the red with modern production muscle.

#### A Midnight‑Born Collaboration

Recorded in a converted church outside Philadelphia, the session reunited front‑man **Glenn Danzig** with original bassist **Eerie Von** and longtime drummer **London May**. Producer **Zeuss** (Rob Zombie, Hatebreed) kept the raw tape hiss intact, layering it with subterranean sub‑bass that rumbles like distant thunder.

#### Why Netflix?

Netflix’s quiet rollout of curated music premieres—branded “**Now Streaming: Sessions**”—gives legacy artists a cinematic platform. The service pairs each song with stylized visualizers; for Samhain, that means a sepia‑soaked short film of ritual fires, antlered silhouettes, and rain‑splattered tombstones that echo the band’s pagan‑gothic iconography.

#### First Impressions

* **Tone:** A claw‑hammer 6/8 beat, serrated guitar lines, and Danzig’s baritone howl riding over a wall of feedback.

* **Lyrical Sketches:** Sacrifice, lunar lore, and liberation through chaos—classic Samhain thematic territory.

* **Runtime:** 4 min 13 sec (but it feels like an unbroken incantation).

 

Music blogs are already tagging it “the most honest horror‑punk track of the decade,” praising its refusal to chase radio‑friendly polish.

– **Pop‑Up Listening Parties** rumored for New York, Los Angeles, and Berlin—locations TBA on the band’s socials.

– **Documentary Short** on the making of “Blood Moon Rising” will hit Netflix later this fall, expanding the partnership.
