Artist History Originally based on industrial metal, "Uncle Samhain" was started by Robby Samhain in early 2002. Before that he had an electronic band "Terrible Hippie Cannibalism". Then worked with Andjrew Lawsin (Former guitarist of "Dead Air"), on an electronic project with more focus on guitar riffs instead of synths; but nevertheless, a lot of keyboards and samples were used. This Electric Acidhead Metal group was called "XibytA". They made 2 80min albums in a total of 3 Months. After that Robb finished the self-titled "Uncle Samhain" demo, Andjrew talked Robb about joining the group. Andjrew joined "Uncle Samhain" in late 2002 and did Vocals, guitars & samples with Robb on "The PatRIOTic Demo". In August 2002 Jason Needles received a copy of "the PatRIOTic Demo" and soon left the band he was in to take up the roll of Lead Vocalist for "Uncle Samhain". At this point the band records the material for, "Uncle Samhain Wants You (EP)" & starts doing their first gigs. After 2 shows without a drummer and just an electronic drum track it was a mutual decision that a real drummer was needed to expand the music of "Uncle Samhain". In early 2003 Chris Raines (former drummer for "demaculate") was working on his band "Nihilist Division" when Robb asked him if he would want to start playing drums for "Uncle Samhain". A week after joining Chris played his first gig with "Uncle Samhain". At this time the final mix of "Uncle Sam Slain" was finished. Then in late 2003 Uncle Samhain & Jason Needles parted ways. Chris and Robb record drum & bass tracks for the next release,"Freeze Up And Die". Currently the line up just consists of Robb and Andjrew. Both of which are busy finishing the "Freeze Up And Die" and working on Trippin Hippie Records.
