SAINT VITUS - Born Too Late (1986) USA

Full-length, S.S.T.
These days there are truck loads of bands using the old Sabbath formula, but no band does it as well as 80's indie doom masters St.Vitus. Born Too Late is Saint Vitus' first album to feature Scott "Wino" Weinrich. Metal,like most male dominated music,tends to reflect an alpha male attitude,lots of macho agression, it reflects the way men are conditioned to think, value and behave in western capitalist culture (or reflects the sympotoms and outcomes of a culture that values winning, high gloss, and greed above all else) Vitus breaks from the stereotype,their sound is very heavy,masculine,creepy and desparate-yet there are vast differences between masculine and macho, desparate and depraived. These songs are S-L-O-W dirges that deal with addiction, depression, and loss. War Starter deals with mans penchant for competition (war) cold apathy for lives lost and humanity itself, and the foolish reliance on so called leaders and groups. The reoccurring theme of this album (and most Vitus albums) seems to be isolation. Not belonging. The opening song, the title track, starts out "Every time I'm on the street, people laugh and point at me,they talk about my length of hair and the out of date clothes I wear"-this held more relavance in the 80's, but it still rings true today.Vocalist Wino said it was a song for all the people (metal fans) who stayed heavy-remember, back in the 80's,metal sold out,went the way of tight pants and hair-do bands playing top-40 'party' metal.The nineties saw metal sell out to funk, alternative (whatever thats supposed to mean) and now hip hop/rap, so it does'nt surprise me to see this album, this band, talked about in reverential tones among todays underground metal fans.
Considered a 'high' (bong) water mark among the 11 Vitus albums/ep's,Born Too Late is the poster child for todays stoner/doom metal scene.

SAINT VITUS - Mournful Cries (1988) USA

Full-length, S.S.T.
The opener "The Creeps" starts with a descending-chord riff that sounds more like an old punk style riff than lumbering doom, then settles into a mid-paced tempo. Note the maracas (!) in the background. The song then leads right into the lumbering "Dragon Time", a tale about the most popular of mythical medieval creatures, the Dragon. Check out guitarist Dave Chandler's "When A Dragon Is This Old...It knows only pain" spoken word in the intro and his "It's Dragon Time!" on the outro.His growls lend the song a weird authenticity. "Shooting Gallery" seems to be about the tragedy of heroin use, with a truly haunting slow riff that breaks into a great "wall of guitar" midway through. "Bitter Truth", written by vocalist/second guitarist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, is the standout track of the LP, with it's beautiful acoustic guitar intro(A Vitus first!) "The Troll", a tale of one man's despair against what mankind has become and a desire to stay cut off from it, is lyrically dynamic, and features a great feedback-solo from Dave. The album closer, "Looking Glass", leaves the listener with the immrotally uplifting words, "Cold gray haze will never stay/Don't ever let 'em take your strength away." Words to live by. The only problem with the LP is it's production sound, which makes the guitars seem very compressed and the drums hollow. It make have something to do with the fact that the album was recorded in 3 days, but the production here seems much thinner than on "Born Too Late". And the digital sound on the CD version only accentuates the thinness of the mix. Also, the CD is only 33 minutes long. While I understand the time limitations of the LP format, SST Records could have added some extra material(if there was any) to the Cassette and CD. Regardless, a true slab of Doom that will not be bettered by any other band! EPIC DOOM!!

SAINT VITUS - V (1989/2004) USA

HELLHOUND RECORDS / SOUTHERN LORD
Saint Vitus are one of the best and most legendary of traditional doom metal bands. But don't let the term doom metal stop you from listening to them: actually they sound like Black Sabbath mixed with Hippy/Stoner Rock, that is, mostly 70's heavy metal with Southern Rock influence. Wino is great in your last St. Vitus studio album as on all his work, my favorite songs is Living Backwards and I Bleed Black, like me much also When Emotion Dies. The album's title is a reference to the Roman numeral five, not the letter "V" from the English alphabet.
Re-released CD by Southern Lord in 2004, including live video from the first show
with Wino: Live @ The Palm Springs Community Center, 16 May 1986.

SAINT VITUS - C.O.D. (1992) USA

HELLHOUND RECORDS
C.O.D. aka Children of Doom is the penultimate album by Saint Vitus. The album was released in 1992 on Hellhound Records. This is the only album to feature former Count Raven vocalist Christian Lindersson.
This album is different than some of the old Saint Vitus stuff with Wino or Scott Reagers. It isn't quite as slow, and is heavier than hell.
The band broke up shortly after this album but reformed with original singer Scott Reagers for their final album, Die Healing (1995).
TRACKS:
1. Intro
2. Children of Doom
3. Planet of Judgement
4. Shadow of a Skeleton

SAINT VITUS - Die Healing (1995) USA

HELLHOUND RECORDS
Die Healing is the seventh and final album by American doom metal pioneers Saint Vitus.
The album starts with a monster fucking heavy riff, IT'S A DARK WOOORLD. This is what doom is about, ladies and gentlemen. It was released in 1995 by Hellhound Records. ..this album re-introduces their original vocalist, Scott Reagers,& he never sounded better! Nothing against Wino(whom is a doom god),but in my opinion Scott fits Vitus like no other.
TRACKS:
1. Dark World
2. One Mind
3. Let the End Begin
4. Trail of Pestilence
