Saint Vitus is an American heavy metal band formed in Los Angeles in 1979. They are one of the first doom metal bands,[1] alongside Pentagram, Witchfinder General, Trouble and Pagan Altar. Having released eight studio albums to date, Saint Vitus never achieved a popular breakthrough, but have exerted great influence on the development of doom metal, sludge metal,[2] and stoner rock.[3]
The original line-up consisted of Dave Chandler (guitar), Mark Adams (bass), Armando Acosta (drums) and Scott Reagers (vocals). They recorded their first two albums before Scott Weinrich replaced Reagers in 1986. The line-up of Chandler, Adams, Acosta and Weinrich is the longest-lasting. The third album (1986) is generally acknowledged as their best release.[4]
After breaking up in 1996 and briefly reforming in 2003, Saint Vitus reunited again in 2008 with the band’s “classic” line-up, featuring Weinrich, Chandler, Adams and Acosta, and embarked on a successful tour. However, after 30 years in the band, Acosta left Saint Vitus in 2009 due to worsening health, and was replaced by Henry Vasquez.
