St Vitus any good?

any opinions? I heard they are one of the first doom metal bands

Saint Vitus are fantastic. if you don't have the self titled, Born Too Late, & V in your collection you should be ashamed of yourself.

Vitus are amazing. Their last album, Die Healing, is by far my favorite. The guitar tone on that album is simply savage, kinda like Tom Warrior had during the Hellhammer days. The albums with Scott Reagers (the first two and the last) are by far their best imo.

St. Vitus are one of the pillars of doom metal. All their albums are fantastic, but their S/T debut and Born Too Late are their definitive albums, IMO.

I don't like Born too Late nearly as much as the stuff with Scott Reagers to be honest. I like V quite a bit though. Patra (Petra) must be one of the most depressive tracks ever recorded by any band.

Good? No. Great? Yes!

I prefer the Scott Reagers albums too, but all their stuff is great. Even the one with the cat from Count Raven. Hallow's Victim is my personal favorite.

Very good band.

I havn't listened to these guys in ages. Have the first 3 on vinyl. SST had some diversity for an indie label

SST was great. Too bad they won't rerelease the early Vitus.

Been spinning Die Healing, Saint Vitus and V in anticipation of Sunday. Can't wait to finally see 'em live!

Getting into this band slowly. Ordered C.O.D yesterday.

A total blind purchase, based on the cool cover.

Is it any good?

They’re considered legendary in the stoner/doom community.
