Final Descent is the third and final studio album by American deathrock band Samhain, first released in 1990, more than three years after lead singer Glenn Danzig and bassist Eerie Von had recruited guitarist John Christ and drummer Chuck Biscuits to form Danzig.

Tracks 1-5 are previously unreleased songs, at least some of which had been intended for the Samhain Grim album before it was aborted when the band changed its personnel, and finally its name, to Danzig.

The 1990 CD was issued in a longbox in some markets, and came with a large sticker on the cellophane wrapping, which read, "Samhain: Final Descent" (in the same font used for the original 1976 horror/suspense motion picture The Omen and its three sequels).

The Samhain Box Set and individual CD reissues of this album incorrectly reverse the listing of tracks 7 and 9.

The misprinted track listing actually conforms to the order of the songs on earlier bootlegged audio copies of this recording session.
