In 1988, Danzig released its self-titled debut album on Def American (later renamed to American Recordings). The first release from the band, minus Eerie Von, was the song 'You And Me (Less Than Zero)' from the Less Than Zero soundtrack and credited as Glenn Danzig & The Power and Fury Orchestra. To reflect the change in musical direction and avoid having to start anew after future lineup changes, Glenn, on Rubin's advice, changed the name of Samhain to his surname, Danzig. In 1987, he added John Christ on guitar and Chuck Biscuits (ex-Black Flag) on drums. However, Danzig refused to sign to Rubin's label without Samhain's bassist Eerie Von. Rubin at first wished only to sign Danzig himself, with the intent of making him the vocalist for a hard rock supergroup that Rubin envisioned. In attendance was Rick Rubin, who was scouting for potential bands to sign to his record label, Def Jam Recordings. On July 14, 1986, Samhain performed at The Ritz in New York in what was to be their final show. They play in a bluesydoom-driven heavy metal style influenced by the early sound of Black Sabbath.
