The Power And The Fury Orchestra

In February 1987, the Samhain line-up was transitioning to a heavier, more sophisticated sound. This included Glenn Danzig, Eerie Von, John Christ and London May. Drummer London May was asked to quit the band, so by March of that year, Rick Rubin had already expressed interest in signing [u]Glenn Danzig[/u] as vocalist for a hard rock supergroup. However, Danzig would not sign without also signing Eerie Von on bass. Rubin eventually added John Christ on guitar and Chuck Biscuits (formerly of Black Flag and Ex D.O.A.) on drums. To avoid further lineup changes, Glenn, following Rubin's advice, changed the name of Samhain to his own surname, Danzig. So as result of the changes made the band recorded the famous Life Without A Net demonstration tape previously before September of ’87 when the band initiated the recording sessions for the Danzig’s self-titled debut album.
