Saint Vitus is the 1984 eponymous debut album by
doom metal pioneers
Saint Vitus released via
SST Records. The album was recorded in 1982, but was delayed by nearly two years, due to a lawsuit that SST was involved in. It was released on both vinyl and cassette, and later on CD; all three formats are currently difficult to find. "White Magic/Black Magic" and "Saint Vitus" are included on the compilation album
Heavier Than Thou. Along with
Trouble's
Psalm 9,
Saint Vitus is considered by many one of the first doom metal albums to be released.
