Hailing from Los Angeles, California, Saint Vitus are one of the most well-known and respected bands in the DoomMetal genre, alongside Music/{{Pentagram}}, Music/WitchfinderGeneral, and Music/{{Candlemass}}. The band originally formed in 1978 as Tyrant with Scott Reagers (vocals), Dave Chandler (guitar), Mark Adams (bass), and Armando Acosta (drums) and released two demos under this name before changing their name in 1980 to Saint Vitus, after the Music/BlackSabbath song "St. Vitus Dance". This incarnation of Saint Vitus would go on to tour with bands like Music/BlackFlag (whose guitarist, Greg Ginn, would later sign them to his record label, [=SST=]) and release two albums and an EP before Scott left the band in 1986, to be replaced by Scott "[[StageNames Wino]]" Weinrich, the frontman of The Obsessed (who had only released a 7" at the time). The band released ''Born Too Late'' - widely considered to be among the best work Saint Vitus has released in 1986, followed by two more studio albums before Wino left in 1991 to reform The Obsessed. Vitus picked up singer Christian "Chritus" Linderson from Count Raven; he would only record one album with the band before leaving and being replaced by the band's original singer. The band recorded and released "Die Healing" in 1995 before the members split up and went on to different projects.

The band recorded and released "Die Healing" in 1995 before the members split up and went on to different projects.
In 2003, Saint Vitus reunited with Scott Weinrich for a single show in Chicago to fan approval. Six years later, the ''Born Too Late'' lineup reunited for a few tours, however original drummer Armando Acosta left during a European tour due to health issues; he died in late 2010.
Saint Vitus continues to record and play to this day, having released ''Lillie: F-65'' in 2012, and during 2014, the band celebrated their 35th anniversary by performing ''Born Too Late'' in its entirety on a worldwide tour.
Current lineup:
* Dave Chandler - lead guitar
* Mark Adams - bass
* Scott "Wino" Weinrich - vocals
* Henry Vasquez - drums
Past members:
* Armando Acosta – drums (deceased, 2010)

* Christian "Chritus" Linderson - vocals
Studio albums:

* ''Hallow's Victim'', 1985

* ''V'', 1990
* ''[=COD=]'', 2007

!!This band provides the following trope examples:
* TheAlcoholic: "Dying Inside". Scott Weinrich also counted, unfortunately.
* AuthorExistenceFailure: Original drummer Armando Acosta died on November 25th, 2010 of arterial complications.
* BookEnds: Played straight and averted. Saint Vitus began and ended with the same lineup...at least, until the band reunited for a single gig in 2003, and then reunited again to tour and record in 2009.
* CoverVersion: Vitus famously covered "Thirsty and Miserable" by Music/BlackFlag. The band added a guitar solo and slowed it down to the point where it was almost twice the length of the original song.
* EpicRocking: Well, ''duh'' - coming from a doom metal band, this is expected. For a more specific example, the only song on ''Born Too Late'' that clocks in at less than five minutes is "Clear Windowpane".
* FunWithAcronyms: "H.A.A.G."[[note]]"Hell Ain't A Game"[[/note]].
* LastSecondWordSwap: Sort of, from "H.A.A.G." - in a variation that subverts what is expected to be said:
--> "Are you shivering limbs intact? Do you care where you'll impact?
--> Falling in a bottomless pit, is there no end to this moronic wit?"
* MagnumOpus: Considered to be either ''Born Too Late'' or ''Die Healing''.
* MeaningfulName: "V" is the fifth Saint Vitus album.
** On a more depressing note, the band's second singer Scott "Wino" Weinrich has been known for his struggles with speed (anecdotes from people he knew back in the day claim that due to his usage, the switchblade he carried on him corroded from being in contact with the substance so much) and alcohol, which came to light and stunned many fans recently when he was arrested and deported from Norway for having ''eleven grams of methamphetamine'' on his person.
* MoodWhiplash: "Clear Windowpane" from ''Born Too Late'' is a rather fast-paced ode to "windowpane" acid[[note]]Windowpane refers to either a gel tab or a blotter with four hits of LSD soaked into it and divided up like a windowpane; if the gel tab is clear, it's generally considered to be pure acid.[[/note]] which describes the various hallucinations caused by the titular clear windowpane in a rather upbeat way. This is immediately followed by "Dying Inside", a slower, morose song lamenting how the narrator's life has been absolutely ''demolished'' by his drinking habit ("I feel twice as old as I am [...] I'm losing all my friends and lovers"), how he knows that even when it makes him sick, he's incapable of controlling his habit, despite trying "time and time again", and how he's been abandoned by everyone around him. ''Ouch''.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted with the first two singers of the band - Scott Reagers was replaced by Scott Weinrich. Can be considered a SubvertedTrope if one considers that Weinrich is more frequently known (and signs his autographs) as "Wino".
* TheStoner: The band is very open about their marijuana use/endorsement, with multiple fans having their stories about smoking with members of the band or passing them joints (or seeing this being done) while playing.
* XMeetsY: Music/BlackFlag meets Music/BlackSabbath.
