Music the Lifeblood Now in constant rotation in my headphones. This is a love letter to Glenn Danzig's Samhain but in no way derivative. Independent and fully realized, a blistering 4 song foray into the macabre. Perfect. -Dustin Favorite track: Night Vision.

waughtron666 Samhain worship with all the trimmings (including synthesized bell!). You can almost smell the fake blood just oozing outta this tape! Seriously, these fellas do it right. It's a tad campy, creepy and above all, catchier than any dreck on the radio. The production is even murky in that good ol' Samhain way. This is absolute perfection and I can't wait for their next output! Favorite track: Dead Sleep.

Ash-covered Ghoul Encountering Misfits and Danzig influences in punk, hard rock, and metal is common, but Samhain always seems to be the odd cult project left out and forgotten — unknown except to long-time fans. But there's really something special to the style of Samhain which is uniquely hard to pin down, and so hard to incorporate elsewhere. Final Gasp do an amazing job of bringing back that strange power, jagged energy, and uncanny atmosphere without being merely derivative. I hope to hear more! Favorite track: Dead Sleep.

about

HELTER SKELTER PRODUCTIONS (distributed & marketed by REGAIN RECORDS) is proud to present FINAL GASP cult-classic debut EP, Baptism of Desire, on 10" vinyl format.

Hailing from the Boston hardcore scene, FINAL GASP explore its dark underbelly with a thoroughly throttling sound equal parts classic deathrock and Samhain-informed post-punk. Indeed, the parallels to the almighty Samhain are uncanny, but FINAL GASP's iteration is so authentic and so engaging, resistance is simply futile.

Not for nothing, then, did FINAL GASP's debut EP, Baptism of Desire, become such a hotly desired record back during its original cassette release in 2019. At last, it receives the vinyl treatment, and as a special bonus, this 10" vinyl edition will include a VHS tape of the band's 2020 Halloween show alongside High Command.

Dark post-punk has been on the rise for the past decade, but few bands evoke that November coming fire quite like FINAL GASP! Recommended for fans of Samhain – of course! – but also Dystopian Society, Lost Tribe, Horror Vacui, Annex, and Haldol.
