SAINT VITUS: New Album Release Date Announced

Saint Vitus

Lillie: F-65“, the eighth studio album from doom legends SAINT VITUS – and their first since 1995 – will be released on March 27, 2012 in North America (four days earlier in Europe) via Season Of Mist.

Speaking to Terrorizer magazine, SAINT VITUS frontman Scott “Wino” Weinrich stated about the title, “Y’know the reason we called it ‘Lillie: F-65’? It was a powerful downer back in our day and well, Dave [Chandler, guitar] really had a thing for his downers.”

SAINT VITUS‘ current lineup features Chandler, drummer Henry Vasquez, bassist Mark Adams and Weinrich.

“Making this album was really a blast,” said Chandler. “Being able to live in an environment where all we had to concentrate on was the new material, became very inspiring. And along with our new drummer, Henry Vasquez, and label, Season Of Mist, this record has given us a new opportunity to show everyone that we still have more to shove in your face.”

When asked why he thinks SAINT VITUS‘ music continues to resonate, Wino said in an interview, “Because it comes from the gut. The music has that low tone and it hits you in those emotional places. I’ve always tried to make the lyrics just as interesting as the music. It’s always been a little bit dark but I’m not drawn to the happy stuff. I like music that grabs you by the balls.”
