Saint Vitus is an American band, formed in the late 1970s in Los Angeles, California, that has become one of the pioneering acts of the doom metal genre. Their music is characterized by slow tempos, heavy riffs, and themes that explore darkness, despair, and the supernatural. Despite undergoing several lineup changes over the years, the core essence of Saint Vitus's sound – a gritty, unvarnished approach to heavy metal – has remained constant, earning them a devoted following within the metal community.

Their discography spans decades, with albums such as "C.O.D." and "Die Healing" marking significant points in their career. The self-titled "Saint Vitus" serves not only as a reintroduction to their foundational sound but also as a testament to their enduring legacy in the doom metal scene. Their more recent works, including "Lillie: F-65" and the live album "Live Vol. 2," continue to showcase the band's commitment to their heavy, doom-laden sound, while "12 Years in the Tomb" and tracks like "Useless" and "Bloodshed" reflect the band's evolution while staying true to their roots. Through their albums and live performances, Saint Vitus has solidified their status as doom metal icons, influencing countless bands and maintaining a time-honored position within the genre.
