Saint Vitus ‎– Mournful Cries (Vinyl LP)

Beskrivning

”Mournful Cries” was Saint Vitus’ second album with singer Scott ”Wino” Weinrich and, like ”Born Too Late,” it confirmed he was the ideal vocalist for the band. The gritty resignation and throaty, fevered force of his voice meshes perfectly with Dave Chandler’s howl-in-a-void guitar work, and his lyrics lend the songs an unblinking street-level attitude that gives the tunes a wildly potent force, even on the token fantasy piece ”Dragon Time.” Weinrich’s second guitar also gives Chandler more space to stretch out with his thick, buzzing chords, as Armando Acosta’s carefully punctuated drumming hits like a fist in the gut and Mark Adams’ bass gives the songs a simple but rock-solid foundation.
