Saint Vitus is the debut album by the American doom metal band Saint Vitus, released Friday the 13th of 1984 via SST Records.[1] According to Dave Chandler, the album was recorded in 1982, but was delayed by nearly two years, due to a lawsuit that SST was involved in.[4] 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 critics one of the first doom metal albums to be released.

Saint Vitus — дебютный студийный альбом американской дум-метал-группы Saint Vitus, выпущенный в феврале 1984 года лейблом SST Records[2]. Записан в студии Total Access, Редондо-Бич, Калифорния[3]. По словам гитариста группы Дэйва Чендлера, коллектив записал альбом ещё в 1982-м, однако релиз отложили на два года из-за судебных разбирательств, касающихся SST Records[4]. Saint Vitus вышел на виниловом диске и на CD[5]. Считается одним из первых альбомов в жанре дум-метал вместе с Psalm 9 Trouble.
