(Translated from my old Italian text by Nicholas Green)
Saint Vitus (Scott Weinrich on vocals, Dave Chandler on guitar) are veterans of the Los Angeles heavy metal scene who became legends after the "doom" explosion.
On their records, from Hallow's Victim (SST, 1985) to their Walking Dead EP (after which vocalist Scott Reagers left the band), from Born Too Late to their later albums Mournful Cries and C.O.D. (Hellhound), they had simply imitated Black Sabbath at their very slowest, without the slightest bit of originality.
V (Hellhound, 1989 - Southern Lord, 2004) was their last album with vocalist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, before he left for The Obsessed.
Die Healing (Hellhound, 1995) marked the return of vocalist Scott Reagers, who injected new life into the group's dark ceremony (Let The End Begin, One Mind, and Dark World).
Saint Vitus reunited two decades later for
Lillie: F-65 (2012), an elegant but uninspired collection that
includes the stereotypical Blessed Night.

I Saint Vitus (Scott Weinrich al canto, Dave Chandler alla chitarra)
sono veterani della scena heavy metal di Los Angeles, divenuti una leggenda dopo
l'esplosione del "doom".
Nei loro dischi, da Hallow's Victim (SST, 1985) all'EP
Walking Dead, dopo il quale il cantante Scott Reagers lascio` il gruppo,
da Born Too Late ai tardi Mournful Cries
e C.O.D. (Hellhound), avevano
semplicemente imitato le atmosfere piu` lente dei Black Sabbath, senza la minima
originalita`.
V (Hellhound, 1989 - Southern Lord, 2004) was their last album with vocalist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, before he left for Obsessed.
Die Healing (Hellhound, 1995) segna il ritorno del cantante
Scott Reagers che immette nuova linfa nel tetro cerimoniale del gruppo
(Let The End Begin, One Mind e Dark World).
Saint Vitus reunited two decades later for
Lillie - F-65 (2012), a classy but uninspired collection that
includes the stereotypical Blessed Night.
