"Born Too Late" is a seminal LP by the legendary doom metal band Saint Vitus, released under the iconic SST Records label. This album, originally issued in 1986, is widely regarded as one of the most influential records in the doom metal genre. With its slow, heavy riffs and introspective lyrics, "Born Too Late" captures a raw emotional depth that has resonated with fans for decades. The addition of vocalist Scott "Wino" Weinrich marked a new era for Saint Vitus, bringing an unmistakable voice to their signature sound. Standout tracks like "Dying Inside," "Clear Windowpane," and the title track have become classics within heavy music circles.
Saint Vitus formed in Los Angeles in 1979 and are considered pioneers of American doom metal. Their uncompromising style set them apart from mainstream trends and earned them cult status worldwide. Over their career, they have influenced countless bands across genres with albums such as "Hallow's Victim," "Mournful Cries," and this very release.
SST Records was founded by Greg Ginn (of Black Flag) in 1978 and quickly became synonymous with underground innovation throughout the '80s punk and alternative scenes. The label played a crucial role in launching careers of acts like Hüsker Dü, Minutemen, Sonic Youth?and Saint Vitus?cementing its legacy as one of independent music?s most important institutions.
