This demo version of "Archangel" by Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only of the Misfits has long been rumored to exist. It was recorded in 1981 at Mix-O-Lydian Studios in New Jersey with the intention of persuading Dave Vanian of the Damned to perform guest vocals on a planned official release. When the Misfits broke up shortly after, Glenn carried the song over to his next project Samhain, using it to conclude their debut album 'Initium'. This version has only recently surfaced in the bootleg form and has never officially been released.

Hehe, still waiting on this to download but looking forward to it. I heard Archangel when I was a young lad and thought it was like the best song ever, knocking Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades' off the top spot in my silly little brain.

The Misfits made very romantic music.. this is probably their best song to make love to, not just because the song is awesome but because it's 6 minutes long and not 1 and a half. Never heard Samhain before but not I'm interested. Thanks for this one.

Please keep in mind that this is note the "pure" Misfits version. During the recording sessions for Initium (August 1983), Glenn Danzig asked bassist Al Pike to record over Jerry Only's original bass track. What you hear in this demo is the original guitar, vocals, and drums that Glenn recorded while in the Misfits along with Al Pike's bass from the Samhain era.
