SAINT VITUS

Remastered re-release of the seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Doom Metal band.
Being their final album before disbanding in 1996, "Die Healing" saw the band reunite with the original line-up of vocalist Scott Reagers, guitarist Dave Chandler, bassist Mark Adams and drummer Armando Acosta. It would, however, be the last Saint Vitus album to feature Acosta before his death in 2010, and Reagers for 20 years until his return to the band in 2015.
With Scott Reagers' back in the band, Saint Vitus made their darkest album to date. The weird, Punk-influenced Doomsters from LA haven't exactly been making jolly and merry music throughout all these years, but "Die Healing" takes the band's dark sound and lyrics to a whole new sinister level. The distinctive axe-work by mastermind Dave Chandler is the same, if not tighter, than ever, and his wild solos are another welcoming and familiar aspect. Mark Adams does what he does best, i.e. following Chandler's riffs with his bass, and Armando Acosta (R.I.P.) works the sticks the true Doom Metal way.
Musically, 'Die Healing' is simply better than the band's previous albums featuring Reagers; even if the more Punk-influenced sound isn't as prominent as on "Saint Vitus" and "Hallow's Victim". "Die Healing" has a much better production that sounds fairly crisp, at least compared to the first releases featuring Reagers on vocals, and this does the band some well-deserved justice. The production on 'Die Healing' really brings the greatness of the band. The heavy, slow to mid-tempo riffing with a punch and crazy soloing really stand out, thanks to the improved sound quality, and would make Tony Iommi and a certain Jimi Hendrix (R.I.P.) proud, since these two legendary guitarists have had some influence on Chandler's unique style.
Saint Vitus has been able to put consistently good records out, since day one, and "Die Healing" is, along with "Born Too Late" the very best of Saint Vitus. Doom on!
Season Of Mist, 1995/2013 (SOM 280). Made in France. Pressed in the EU.
