LILLIE: F-65

Long awaited follow-up to the reunited doom metal band's 1995 'Die Healing' CD. Finally got to see Saint Vitus play a local bar - not long ago so I knew that I needed to purchase a physical copy of this must-have stoner metal release. Tracks that I could not get enough of were the awesome "Let Them Fall", the heavy in-your-face "The Bleeding Ground", the -total- ass-kicking "Blessed Night", the seven-minute wailing ~monster of a rocker~ "Dependence" and "Withdrawal". In the band's own words: the lords of misery are back straight to show us all what the word 'doom' means. Can't rave about this CD enough. Essential.

I was really looking forward to this release, in fact I bought it right after Amazon offered it on MP3, so keep that in mind as I rave about how much I like this album. Tracks 2 and 4 (The Bleeding Ground and Blessed Night) have a heavy, hard ass old school sound that really gets me fired up. The song Let Them Fall is classic Vitus. Go ahead and YouTube the video, because it's bad ass too. My only complaint about the album is it's rather short. Seven songs, two of them instrumental. Don't let that stop you though! Buy the album, put it on, and allow yourself to be enveloped in the sludge that is Saint Vitus!

'Nuff said!

doom legends return

Cool doomy metal

A very good album of doom metal.The sound is great,but is a very short album,maybe more 3 or 4 more songs wanted.

If you are on this page, I assume you already know who Saint Vitus are and what their music sounds likes so I will skip the background story.This album sounds like it could easily have come out in the the days of Mournful Cries and Born Too Late!! Wino is back and sounding as good as always. Chandler's guitars are enough to make your ribs hurt. This is vintage Vitus!!! If you are a fan of the old days, you owe it to yourself to get this album!!!I got the vinyl, it comes with a card to get the 320Kbps .mp3 from a website. well worth it!

a very good album

Great album indeed! Typical old school Saint Vitus with a good production-not over-produced. Close to anything they've released between Born too late and V.For those who aren't familiar with Saint Vitus at all, keep in mind these guys were probably the firsts-with Witchfinder General-to play some Heavy/doom/Sabbath heavy metal in the early 80's. Those guys might have been considered Sabbath clones (clowns?) back then, where today everybody and their uncle seems to pump ideas from the Sabbath well and is considered a genius when updating Black sabbath-like riffs in all of the new sub-genres (doom, sludge, stoner,...).Great stuff indeed, although 7 tracks is a bit short (about 30 minutes+ 3 minutes of feedback), therefor only 4 stars.

Astonishingly good. Epic doom metal. I want it to last longer (an hour would be nice) but the DVD helps compensate.I love Saint Vitus' music but this production has reached a new level. Wow! Very highly recommeded to fans of epic doom.A new classic.

Yes!!! At last. A new Vitus album and more stinking heaviness to make my ears bleed for the next 20 years. This album is so thick and heavy with despair it makes other doom bands sound like Westlife. Hard to take all in on the first listen but like many great albums this is a grower. Fantastic stuff from Dave, Wino, Mark and Vasquez!!!

Not a single track on here I don't like and good, heavy doom album.A must for any Saint Vitus and doom fan.If only they toured the UK often!

Más de diez años hemos tenido que esperar para volver a tener entre nosotros un álbum de esta gran banda.Esta magnifica obra lo abre “Let them Fall”. La puerta a riffs constantes de lentitud, reflejando el intachable estilo propio, pero en sus venas corre BLACK SABBATH. Le seguirán temas brutales e intensos, la pesadez en las melodías y en los solos eternos.Destacaría por encima de todo “Dependence”, el corte más Doom por excelencia. Alternando esos riffs disonantes de Chandler, el sonido duro del bajo de Mark Adams con los golpes al son de la batería en las manos de Henry Vasquez. Y Wino, la voz por excelencia del doom.Volvemos a tener en nuestras manos un álbum imprescindible en nuestra colección. No hay lugar a dudas de que esta banda es una de las más importantes del mundo del Doom Metal, y que comparten un espacio en el altar de las más grandes y respetadas bandas del género.Es un disco de duración parecida a sus trabajos anteriores, no más de 40 minutos (y si es que alcanza para eso), pero un disco muy intenso que no pierde la escencia de la banda y que claramente demuestra que estos tipos volvieron para impresionarnos y demostrar que se quedarán un buen rato.
