Official videoclip of Saint Vitus, with Chistian Lindersson at vocals (ex-Count Raven, Terra Firma). This song appears on their "Children Of Doom" album (1992).
You know what, I've heard & read a lot of 'critics' complain about certain bands/albums/songs etc, effectively telling ME (& YOU) what to think/listen to/buy/watch etc. Over the years, I've come to realise that 'critics' have only ONE thing to contribute to 'music' - THEIR opinions (& - as I was once told by a lovely old geezer 'Opinions are like a***holes : everybody's got one'). Those that can, play : those that can't, criticise. Paraphrasing Dave Chandler himself : 'If you think you've got a good song, don't listen to anyone else, just play it'. I think this is one of the GREATEST St Vitus songs & I don't care who knows it. Thanks for posting.
Dave Chandler's guitar solos were so loud and heavy live that they would melt your fillings. He (and the other Vitus guys) were also some of the coolest, nicest guys in all of music. Much appreciation for posting this, it kills.
I would like to add just a few more: Candlemass, Count Raven ( Whose old singer is on this album ), Solitude Aeturnus and Reverend Bizarre ( Those I can remember right now )
Armando Acosta was a great drummer. I remember seeing him play. He took this drum solo that had kind of a rolling stomp to it and never broke rhythm. It was really good. Saint Vitus were supposed to be all doomy, but they would get going and their music would swing and make you happy in a way.
I saw them on the 'Children of Doom' tour, here in New Orleans in '92....ruled! Eyehategod opened up....Saint Vitus played 'til like 4:30 in the morning - it was fucking GREAT.
I'll have to pick up one of their CD's. Love the sludgy riffing and frenetic soloing. it kind of sounds like Kerry King from Slayer playing leads in a stoner rock band.
Exactly the kind of music that'll I start to do. I have some heavy bass riffs. But the song fear...just love it...at rehearsalss we've played it many times
CHILDREN OF DOOM))) the hell of a great album !!! remembering meeting the guys at geneva concert hall " l' usine " back in 1992 , GUY PINHAS the french bassist guy was roadiing for them , he played with the obsessed , acid king , goatsnakes later on !!!
Dan Fondelius did the vocals in Count Raven's "Destruction of the Void", instead of Christian. Lindersson only sang in their first album "Storm Warning". Lindersson is currently working in the band Lord Vicar, featuring the ex-Reverend Bizarre guitarrist.
I love the way he uses the aspect of noise in his solos. It's so tasteful. Wonderful. Sort of reminds me of Dimebag Darrell in a weird way. Definately Hendrix.
I saw these guys last night in Greensboro NC and they rocked. They looked a bit old but then blew the house away. Everyone was into them. Most came for the headline band Helmet. I like St. Vitus better.
@TheSasukelover414 I had the chance to see him play with Vitus several times during the last 20 and so on years. The last time at Roadburn festival in the Netherlands. Will forget not one moment! I got one of the 25 St. Vitus rings at that show that will remind me forever. R.I.P. Armando.
@ickeyjoey I'm not Nightcloak, but as a hardcore Vitus fan I felt obliged to answer. Even though all of Saint Vitus' records are excellent, their debut self titled is where it's all at for me: The sheer heaviness, the atmosphere... Scott Reagers (SV's first singer) had an excellent, more operatic(if you will) voice than Wino(who I greatly respect and admire too). In my opinion, it's their best record and even though i have owned it for quite a while, i still listen to it almost daily.
@freethinkerer cool, i'm gonna catch them here in Lubbock Texas next month. Thanks for the heads up. They will be here with Crowbar, I can't wait for that show.
Damn dude some of those later vitus albums got bad reviews but when i ceck out the actual music i find they're great. critics suck sometimes. Doom or be doomed eternally!
@GrindWorm C'mon buddy, Saint Vitus is cool, Slipknot is cool and I see no reason why any metalhead should hate one of these bands. Just because Slipknot have a DJ doesn't mean they make fuckin' rap music.
It's "Saint Vitus". Yeah I must admit I found out about them through Phil, although I think it was more from Down than Pantera. Usually you hear Phil and Pepper list all their favorite bands and it's usually awesome doom/sludge metal.
@heavymetal148 Official videoclip of Saint Vitus, with Chistian Lindersson at vocals (ex-Count Raven, Terra Firma). This song appears on their "Children Of Doom" album (1992). read the info braaaah
Man, St.Vitus is so badass. Black Sabbath, Witchfinder General, St.Vitus, Pentagram, Reverend Bizzare. Its all good man, fucking awesome stuff and im only 18. Older Doom is great. So's the newer, more extreme stuff mind you. Also, i swear thats a Pantera shirt, bonus points ;P
@panubis This song is quite amazing actually. Megadeth are amazing. But this is Doom, Megadeth is thrash. Two different genres, that you couldn't compare.
Thanks Nightcloak, Im going to get the born to late/thirsty first then go from there. Theres also a live album put out by Southern Lord that looks like a good mix. So I must ask you Nightcloak, as a hardcore fan of Vitus, what is your favorite Vitus CD of all time? It has to be just one. You know the only one you can take to a desert island. What would it be?
@klee66 same here, dude. where i first heard of dismembered, macabre and disharmonic orchestra. this jam ruled though. wish i can go back to 94 for at least a week and enjoy the simple life again. death, punk and weed. no worries.
Well, If you like this, you should try to find some of their following cd / lp / ep some of them are remastered to complications like Born to Late (CD/LP) with "Thistry and Miserable" (EP) together, a must also is their CD/LP "Saint Vitus" and "Hallow's Victim" LP and "Mourful Cries" CD/LP I cant help you much, one of my favorite bands so i will have to write the whole discography... but with Wino singing you will like'm even better imo. I hope I helped ya.
My uncle, Armando(drummer of Saint Vitus), passed away on Thanksgiving 2010. I love you, Uncle Mando.
bro, so sorry.
Dude thats awesome that you were related to him. He is truly a Doom metal legend and pioneer.
Your uncle was an absolute legend of the drum kit. He had some unreal feel for doom grooves. He is free now on CLEAR WINDOWPANE!!!
I loved the fact that an LA band had a Mexican playing drums, and I really enjoy his style. Peace be with you friend.
Rip
Armando was a damned good drummer, so underrated. RIP brother. This song kicks ass
Wish i'd know him
He had that kind of lazy, behind the beat style that you either have or you don't. He was a natural and a huge part of the Vitus sound.
Dude was smooth... check out all the difficult fast playing he does in White Stallions and Hallow's Victim!
Usually COD Is the album underrated from Vitus discography, but this Song in Italy It says: SPACCA. Great Singer. Long live Vitus!

Mark Outram its the best
Well said Mark! It's very easy to be a critic, creating something, anything is much harder.
Rock critics suck and are usually the most not-rock people out there
oldschool but never oldfashioned! where doom began to grow ...
Dave Chandler's guitar solos were so loud and heavy live that they would melt your fillings. He (and the other Vitus guys) were also some of the coolest, nicest guys in all of music. Much appreciation for posting this, it kills.
Saint Vitus and Winter are the best doom bands ever. Their shit gives me goosebumps man...
I would like to add just a few more: Candlemass, Count Raven ( Whose old singer is on this album ), Solitude Aeturnus and Reverend Bizarre ( Those I can remember right now )
Great sound on this, I'm listening on headphones and the bass is going straight into my skull
Saint Vitus 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

R.I.P Mark
Dave Chandler is the Hendrix of doom metal
I love how deep the bass is on this
I saw them on the 'Children of Doom' tour, here in New Orleans in '92....ruled! Eyehategod opened up....Saint Vitus played 'til like 4:30 in the morning - it was fucking GREAT.
+Jason Pizzolato DAMN!!! EYEHATEGOD + SAINT VITUS! that sounds like sick show!
+DemonAdvance Yeah, it was killer. EHG are friends of mine of over 20 years. They were honored to open up for the great +VITUS+. \m/
+Jason Pizzolato thats awesome! i saw ehg last year, probably best show i have ever seen!
hey, sup, Jason this is your buddy Barg
I saw them on the same tour in Tallahassee in a very small club...Internal Void opened up for them...incredible show! Miss those days!
R.I.p Tio Armando. Preparing for All Souls’ Day and ran into this video!
He was a gentle giant. Love you & miss you uncle!
Who in their right fucking mind would give this video a thumbs down, this song kills!
man, tha bass kicks ass on this, neighbors love it
The bass is so clean and heavy! I love it!!!
doesnt get better than old live saint vitus videos!
Would love to hear Wino on vocals for this song.
Christus on vocals! Awsome👌
that guitarist is groovin with them doom riffs.. nice!
I love christian’s voice so much.
what a good song. that riff change into the chorus is badass
Damn how have not heard these guys, they came up in 78. I still hear Sabbath, but pioneers none the less.
Seminal band who did a lot to define and raised the bar for what doom metal should be and this track sure proves their salt.
I'll have to pick up one of their CD's. Love the sludgy riffing and frenetic soloing. it kind of sounds like Kerry King from Slayer playing leads in a stoner rock band.
Aaahhh, that BASS is soo deep and nice in this movie
Christian linderssons vocals are so fucking good on this album
mark adams sat behind me all thru jr. high school, glad to see him make someones day, too bad he nvr knew i played guitar

I know that, but no worries; maybe some others didn't know. Great taste in music my friend ! Hope to see St. Vitus play again someday soon !
I love the way he uses the aspect of noise in his solos. It's so tasteful. Wonderful.
Sort of reminds me of Dimebag Darrell in a weird way. Definately Hendrix.
Thanx uncle Armando ❤
With that bass, my headphones are almost rattling off my head!! woop!!!
Lo Saturnalia!!!
I saw these guys last night in Greensboro NC and they rocked. They looked a bit old but then blew the house away. Everyone was into them. Most came for the headline band Helmet. I like St. Vitus better.
Thanks for the upload, amazing song, amazing playing, great lyrics!!! Awesome singer!! Man he was hot!! 1992 was a good year for Metal \m/

Great song, thanks for this video
Dude, those drums are taking names.

Tremendos los muchachos
Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan and Gypsy Moth - obscure Hard Rock/Freak Sounds and dark Heavy Metal Off the Killer Groups^^
Crowbar played here with st Vitus. awesome show.
I love you too, Uncle Mando.
Super Song
Damn dude some of those later vitus albums got bad reviews but when i ceck out the actual music i find they're great. critics suck sometimes. Doom or be doomed eternally!
Goddamn! You never hear anyone praise this song.
i have almost the same pantera shirt !!
C.O.D. the best album of Saint Vitus in my opinion.
@GrindWorm C'mon buddy, Saint Vitus is cool, Slipknot is cool and I see no reason why any metalhead should hate one of these bands. Just because Slipknot have a DJ doesn't mean they make fuckin' rap music.
RIP Armando Acosta...Child of Doom...
THUNDERING BASS!!!
Oh, my God!!! It's orgasmic song!!!! Fucking groove. Fucking heavy. Fucking true!!!
DOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
It's "Saint Vitus". Yeah I must admit I found out about them through Phil, although I think it was more from Down than Pantera. Usually you hear Phil and Pepper list all their favorite bands and it's usually awesome doom/sludge metal.

my friend bought that used tshirt in one stall just for ME!!!! she say: bad company did it, so can weed. Petit Jean i love you.
Doom Metal 😈
I think Christian Lindersson may not be a Wino or a Reagers, but his nasal voice has its charm.
these vocals!
I love ém!
Man, St.Vitus is so badass. Black Sabbath, Witchfinder General, St.Vitus, Pentagram, Reverend Bizzare. Its all good man, fucking awesome stuff and im only 18. Older Doom is great. So's the newer, more extreme stuff mind you.

MASTERS OF DOOM, SENTIMIENTO !!!!!!!!
@Cessate I was agreeing with you on the Pantera comment.
I had the same Lindersson's t-shirt :D
@panubis This song is quite amazing actually. Megadeth are amazing. But this is Doom, Megadeth is thrash. Two different genres, that you couldn't compare.
Slipknot? Slipknot who? Hail Saint Vitus.
Thanks Nightcloak, Im going to get the born to late/thirsty first then go from there. Theres also a live album put out by Southern Lord that looks like a good mix.

Well, If you like this, you should try to find some of their following cd / lp / ep some of them are remastered to complications like Born to Late (CD/LP) with "Thistry and Miserable" (EP) together, a must also is their CD/LP "Saint Vitus" and "Hallow's Victim" LP and "Mourful Cries" CD/LP
I cant help you much, one of my favorite bands so i will have to write the whole discography... but with Wino singing you will like'm even better imo.
I hope I helped ya.
DAT Rickenbacker!!!!
