"Born Too Late" is a landmark album by the legendary doom metal band Saint Vitus, released in 1986 and now available in CD format from S S T Rec. This record is often hailed as one of the most influential releases in the doom genre, featuring slow, heavy riffs and introspective lyrics that have inspired countless bands since its debut. The addition of vocalist Scott "Wino" Weinrich marked a new era for Saint Vitus, whose raw vocal style perfectly complements the band's sludgy soundscapes. Standout tracks like "Dying Inside" and the title track "Born Too Late" showcase their signature blend of melancholy and power. Saint Vitus are pioneers of American doom metal with a career spanning decades; they have been credited with shaping the underground scene alongside acts like Pentagram and Trouble. The manufacturer, S S T Rec (SST Records), is renowned for supporting groundbreaking artists across punk, hardcore, and alternative genres?helping to launch careers for bands such as Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, and Sonic Youth.
The best Saint Vitus album, nothing more to say...packed in jewel case, the pink colour with the minimalistic design does the trick. 80s doom, highly recommended!
