This is Scott "Wino" Weinrich's second album with Saint Vitus, and while it is a slight step down from "Born too Late," it is still better than the overwhelming majority of metal releases from 1988. Of all the classic 1980s doom bands, perhaps only the Melvins were more broadly influential, as Vitus influenced everyone from Soundgarden to Sleep. The bonehead simple riffing, shambling drum beats, and howling vocals evoked a gnawing existential void that might be obscured, but never extinguished. This is the last truly great album from the original run of Saint Vitus. It is essential.
