• O C T. VII. • Saint Vitus — “Return of the Zombie”

From the 1995 album Die Healing.

Every time I hear reversed reverb, it always makes me think of Poltergeist.
Some slow plodding doom for ya, this song is a sequel of sorts to their 1984 track "Zombie Hunger". After a string of excellent albums fronted by the very different (but just as good) Scott "Wino" Weinrich, and one underrated album fronted by Christian Lindersson of Count Raven, this album marked the return of their original singer Scott Reagers. Despite being their final album after a long career (although rumor has it there could be something new in 2011), Die Healing was just as fresh as ever, and if forced to choose, might even be my favorite of theirs.

“Arise! Arise! Zombie!”
