California PA, United States (1979 – 1995, 2003 – present)

Saint Vitus is a doom metal band, formed 1979 in California, USA

Saint Vitus is known as one of the first doom metal bands, starting out as early as the late 1970s. The band first used the name Tyrant, with Scott Reagers (vocals), Dave Chandler (guitar), Mark Adams (bass), and Armando Acosta (drums), but soon changed their name to Saint Vitus after the song St. Vitus’ Dance by Black Sabbath. Their main influences were Black Sabbath, Pentagram and Black Flag.

Under this line-up Saint Vitus recorded 2 albums (Saint Vitus & Hallow’s Victim) and an EP (The Walking Dead). After The Walking Dead Reagers left the band and was replaced by The Obsessed frontman Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich (at this time, The Obsessed had only released one 7”). Wino recorded three studio albums (Born Too Late, Mournful Cries & V), a live album (Live), and an EP (Thirsty and Miserable, featuring the Black Flag cover of the same name) with Vitus. He left the band in 1991 to reform The Obsessed after Vitus’s label, Hellhound Records, released an album of older Obsessed recordings. Christian Lindersson (of Count Raven) left his band to fill in on vocals. He would record only one album, C.O.D. before being replaced by original Vitus vocalist, Scott Reagers. Reagers recorded vocals for the band’s final album, Die Healing in 1995.

Chandler has recently resurfaced in a new band, Debris, Inc., along with Trouble bassist Ron Holzner.

I just ordered an original cassette tape copy of Hallow's Victim for 13 bucks off Amazon! Score! I can't believe I'm actually going to own this! It's my favorite Vitus album btw ;)

Die Healing is one of the greatest albums ever. Reagers at his best here. And C.O.D. is criminally underrated.

Almost even better than Black Sabbath, but not just. Still, peachy shit. Born Too Late rocks my socks off literally.

ehh... I don't like any non-Saint Vitus Wino project I've heard yet. Even Shrinebuilders with Dale Crover on drums was a big letdown imo

Too tough to call on the Reagers vs. Wino thing... although I definitely retract any previously made statement that Wino is better after becoming more and more obsessed with their self titled.

I wouldn't call them "American Sabbath", since that's Pentagram's spot. But they sure are one of the best bands to ever grace the face of this rotten earth.
