Son of Sam

Son of Sam was an American horror punk band that is a side project created by Todd Youth in 2000, during his tenure as the guitarist for Danzig. The band's initial line up featured members of Samhain, Danzig, and AFI. Much like its members' other work, Son of Sam plays in the horror punk style, and also infuses metal and deathrock elements into their music. The name of the band was inspired by the serial killer David Berkowitz, known by the pseudonym "Son of Sam". This also draws reference to the band Samhain.
