Each year brings a series of much-ballyhooed metal reunion shows. Some tours are a deserved welcome back and others amount to little more than victory laps that come twenty years late. If the band is Saint Vitus - the 1980s Los Angeles act that literally shaped doom metal along with forefathers Black Sabbath - expectations will be even higher.
The members of Vitus are all pushing 50, but the added years aren't holding them back. Their recent one-off dates in California with up-and-coming doom/stoner bands Laudanum and Saviours showed that Vitus has lost none of its legendary tone or power. Justin M. Norton reviewed the St. Vitus, Saviours and Laudanum show at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco on January 29, 2010.
