I know the writing has been kind of skimpy lately, but what more could I possibly say about one of my all time favorite bands that I didn't already say here. Enjoy their deeply moving first album.

What it's about.
It's about sharing hard to find and special recordings. It's not about taking anything away from the artists themselves. Of course if something is in print and you like it, buy it. If you have legitimate claim to something posted here and want it removed, just write me and I'll do so. It's definitely not about furthering any sort of political agenda, you might find some things here that you don't agree with. The views of the bands are their own and don't necessarily reflect my ideology or political views. Of course comments and suggestions are welcomed, but don't be hurt if they aren't responded to or taken. I will do my absolute best to be accomidating. Want to contact me? Do it here:

please put "cosmic hearse" in the subject heading.The main thing to remember is to enjoy the music and share the site with friends. Thanks for riding in the Cosmic Hearse.---Aesop

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh. LATELY. not lateley.
Great band, one of my favourites as well, thanks for all the BM recommendations, Bone Awl, Bilskirnir Lord Hitler etc...

I remember getting this from SST mailorder, I really miss the days of catalogs....
I bought this album on the cover art alone from a chain record store that had a tiny punk section back in the day and I instantly became a fan. Saw the orig. line up at 688 in Atlanta. Most people like Wino but I'm decidedly a Scott Reagers fan. The first two records are wonderful.
essential fucking doom
Thanks Aesop. I had a momentary loss of sanity a few years back and sold all my SAINT VITUS vinyl...sometimes I am a real dope. I love the album cover for this record. It is so minimally perfect.
Hey, Solana, I got it, Thanks.
I'm a Reagers fan too. I dig Wino, but moreso in The Obsessed, and all his other projects.
thank you, sir
this never clicked for me years ago, but it definitely does now. thanks man.
i love Saint Vitus,though i'm a bit partial to Wino(in fact i love everything the man has done).nevertheless Scott Reagers is a great vocalist too.and,of course,i absolutely worship Chandler's guitar playing.one of my all time favourite guitar players.
I just posted Saint Vitus 1983 demo at my little blog check it out at http://convulsingdischargeofinanity.blogspot.com/
I love SaintVitus, i don't see how people can pick which singer they like better Wino/Reagers, its like asking someone to choose their favorite child...and i love them both equally.
just played with them in Holland @ Roadburn and hung out a bit them. legends!
doomedforever....
ps,get me that demo!
Devil, super jealous. Heard all about it from Ludicra bassist who was there with Wolves In The Throne Room. This promising newish blog has the demo:
http://convulsingdischargeofinanity.blogspot.com
this and die healing are still my favourites altough there´s no weak trac in their discography . does anyone know what has become of reagers since die healing ?
Ah, the guitar tone that Chandler tortured out of his gear...I remember how wrong and fucked up it sounded when I bought this and Hallow's Victim as a wee lad, and then all at once in a stoned fit of satori it dawned on me that the broken blown out tones fit the broken blown out Gestalt that was Saint Vitus. That's the good stuff.
Yeah Aesop, Roadburn was indeed awesome... ;) Killer line-up & great atmosphere!
I remember turning this on to a guy that would only listen to Black Sabbath and BOC. The Saint soon was added to that list. Bonus...this cat had the BOC logo over his bed made of Malboro red labels!-jabladav
Aesop stikes again!
Thank you so much for posting this Vitus classic. More people should hear it. I am very partial to the albums on which Scott Reagers is the singer. 'Hallow's Victim' and 'Die Healing' are to other must-hears and in AD 2009 very hard to find. Perhaps future posts of this stuff?
-The Anonymous Jew
Nice man, thanks for this post. One of my all time faves.
"...I HAVE HOLES INSTEAD OF EYES..."
Nothing has ever duplicated these guys who have always been a favorite and not just because Armando Acosta saved me from an ass kicking at Venom/Slayer/Exodus at the Hollywood Palladium circa 1984. Needless to say but the world of music would not be the same without this band.
thanks again. Havent seen this since the first time my albums were stole
