Saint Vitus release first new track and album details of forthcoming self-titled album

The godfathers of American doom metal SAINT VITUS are now releasing the first brand new track and album details of their forthcoming album ‘Saint Vitus’ which will be released on May 17, 2019.

From the very first guitar chords, that unmistakable frying, sizzling, and wailing signature sound of Dave Chandler, any adherent of classic doom metal will immediately know: this is SAINT VITUS. The godfathers of American Doom Metal will soon embark on an extensive European tour in celebration of their 40th band anniversary. At first glance a bold statement such as “godfathers of American Doom Metal” might appear to be weighing as heavy as this band sounds. Nonetheless this is simply the truth in this case.

The new track ’12 Years in the Tomb’ is now streaming here:

SAINT VITUS previously announced new European live dates for April and May 2019. A full list of confirmed shows for the ’40 F’N Years’ trek can be found below. The band will be supported by DOPELORD.
