SAINT VITUS @ THE BLUEBIRD THEATER 10/03/12 DENVER-CO

“”They say I look like the living dead, They say I can’t have much in my head, They say my songs are much too slow, But they don’t know the things I know”

Saint Vitus are slow and heavy as hell, full of distorted ominous riffs, dirty, booze-fuelled deep vocals, hypnotic slow tribal drumming, pure doom metal. Formed in L.A. in the early 80’s, they released the bluesy and droney masterpiece “Born Too Late” an album full of depression, loneliness, death and substance abuse. They’ve also released other good albums like “Hallow’s Victim” “Mournfull Cries” and their latest “Lillie: F-65.”
