Warthur
Saint Vitus seemed cursed to alternate between really good albums and rather forgettable ones - thus, they followed up the rather excellent V with Children of Doom (also known as C.O.D.), featuring new recruit Christian Lindersson on vocals. After a somewhat cheesy and dated intro of spooky sound effects, the band launch into a set which isn't so far removed from their earlier work - except the production is rather sloppy, with the guitars and drums sounding terribly thin a lot of the time, and the songs are so dependent on their earlier work that it's hard to find anything in here which is particularly original or which hadn't been done before by the band and better on previous albums. (Heck, there's points where the title track sounds to me a lot like a retread of Born Too Late). Not my favourite, but worth a listen if you are a fan.
