Everything about Saint Vitus Band totally explained
Saint Vitus was a
doom metal band from
California.
Biography
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 Sabbath 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.
Chandler has recently resurfaced in a new band,
Debris, Inc., along with
Trouble bassist
Ron Holzner.
On July 1st, 2003, the classic
Born Too Late line-up (Weinrich, Chandler, Adams, Acosta) played a gig at
Double Door in
Chicago. The performance was recorded and released on a DVD that's distributed through Chandler's current band, Debris, Inc.
