THE BAND
─────────────────────────────────
Samhain was Glenn Danzig's project between the Misfits and his eponymous solo band — formed in 1983, the same year as the debut EP this hoodie is named for. Initium is where the horror punk of the Misfits darkened into something more gothic, more occult, and more directly influenced by the heavy metal that Danzig would fully embrace on his solo debut in 1988. Eerie Von on bass. Steve Zing on drums. Four musicians making music that sounded like the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
The *Initium* EP is foundational. This hoodie wears that foundation.

THE HOODIE
─────────────────────────────────
A snug, wardrobe-ready zip hoodie for lovers of darker folklore and ritual-rich aesthetics. This medium-weight zip-up wraps you in a familiar, slightly worn-in feel — cotton warmth with polyester resilience — while bold artwork on the back reads like a fragment of an old rite: distressed lettering over a flickering, ember-toned scene with a gothic pumpkin at its center. The left-chest emblem is subtly embroidered for texture — the only embroidered piece in the Heretic Circle apparel catalog. Roomy front pockets hold your lighter, phone, or small talismans. The hood is adjustable with a self-colored drawcord and a sturdy metal zipper keeps the silhouette clean.
Wear it on chilly evenings when you want the atmosphere to match your music, or pull it on after a long hike to sit around a bonfire and trade stories. Practical details — tubular knit, sewn-in label, true-to-size fit — mean the piece looks intentional on the street and wears well through repeated nights out and in.
