Samhain [LP]

White vinyl with black and yellow bursts. The sophomore EP from Magick Show expands the founding duo of Mickey O'Brien and Max Moon into a trio with the addition of new member and long time friend Johnny Bizness. Released to coincide with Halloween, the Nickel City supergroup titled the release Samhain (pronounced sow-in) after the Gaelic festival that marks the end of harvest season and the beginning of the darker half of the year. It's also the the origin of our favourite spooky holiday. Samhain is also now a 6-song EP of eerie vocal samples and neck-snapping beats provided by Max, Johnny, and Magick Show's favourite Canadian producer and certified legend, Fresh Kils. The lyrics take you deep into the minds of the trio as they take out their aggressions on the mic with murderous raps about the occult, supernatural phenomenon, and the darker parts of life. The vinyl release of the EP includes the instrumentals and a pull out poster that doubles as a lyric sheet and Ouija board.
