Artist

Son of Sam is 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 serial killer David Berkowitz for whom he named himself the Son Of Sam. The name of the band is also a nod to the Danzig project Samhain. The project was referred to as Son of Sam(hain).
