(11/11/22) Episode 449 is SAINT VITUS. Like other pioneers of doom metal, they set out to recreate the sound and ethos of Black Sabbath, cutting against trends of the mid-80s. With the instruments, Saint Vitus succeeds valiantly, led by the guitar in an Iommi-style low and slow grind. But the vocal style puts me off a bit, too up front in the mix, too operatic at times.
Favorite album: Born Too Late
Favorite song: Dying Inside
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: kinda meh on results, although I give them an A for effort
