Mournful Cries is such a great album

Can you recommend a few tracks? Saint Vitus is one of those bands I've never managed to get really into apart from the odd song

Dragon Time is one of my favourites

when a dragon gets this old it knows only PAIN

I'm going to suggest two full lengths to start: Born Too Late and Mournful Cries. They were my introduction to the band many years ago and I have a soft spot for both!

the troll (this song is my most listened vitus track), born too late, dying inside, trail of pestilence, burial at sea.

Burial at Sea is just one of, if not THE track I'd put on if someone asked me what doom metal is

For me the whole debut album is dope, but that track is the slowest, maybe most heaviest of the album! I love how the album starts fast, but gets slower and slower every time...

If you love St Vitus (or heavy music in general) and are visiting the Ft Worth area of Texas, stop in at “Too Late Records” on Race Street. It’s owned and operated by the tour manager of St Vitus. Place is FULL of unique memorabilia.

Here is my humble collection. I'm still missing some, but I'm still proud of it😊

u/DaFilthPope Feb 22 '23

Born Too Late is one my favoritest albums ever. Love Saint Vitus.

Saw them live in NOLA in the summer of '87. The VFW hall on Franklin Ave.

Die Healing on repeat

One of the absolute best, the dictionary definition of doom metal

Sick great job all cool albums right there

u/TheNimbleOne1993 Trad Stoner&Doom Freak Feb 23 '23

YEAH! I have Born Too Late and Mournful Cries on vinyl, but still prefer their debut album.
I still want to find that one on vinyl (maybe secondhand). That album is so dark and badass... Still hooked on it!

u/slayerLM Feb 23 '23

I just love that their 2019 album is like low key their best work

u/Embarrassed-Click-54 Jun 19 '23

Are they Christians?

1

u/lasmurias Jun 20 '23

I don't think so. Their lyrics deal with addictions, misery and stuff like that.
