Son of Sam

There are two groups that go by the name "Son of Sam." 1. Son of Sam is a supergroup of sorts originally consisting of A.F.I. vocalist Davey Havok, guitarist Todd Youth (who had played with Danzig, D Generation, and Murphy's Law), drummer London May (Samhain, Tiger Army), and bassist Steve Zing (Samhain). The members' former groups tell the story of their music: a hybrid of punk and metal, tinged with goth overtones.

The members' former groups tell the story of their music: a hybrid of punk and metal, tinged with goth overtones. Their debut album, 2001's Songs from the Earth, also featured contributions from Glenn Danzig and his then-current rhythm section -- bassist Howie Pyro (also formerly of D Generation) and yet another drummer, Joey Castillo. Son of Sam returned in 2008 with a new album titled Into The Night and new vocalist, Ian Thorne (aka Sky Vaughan-Jayne and real name Jonathan Ian Skye Jayne) replacing Davey Havok, who couldn't return due to commitments, with Mark Reid replacing London May on drums.

2. Son of Sam is an enigmatic electronic group from the 80s. As of now, all that is known of them is their contribution to the "Systembeat" compilation.
