Saint Vitus arrive at Hellfest to close their 2015 European Tour The Return of the Walking Dead. The L.A. band, pioneers of Doom Metal since 1978, stand still and continue to strike us all with their slow, thundering riffs and melting lyrics. Latest news was that singer Wino Weinrich was arrested in Europe on November 2014 for drug possession, so the band announced on April this year that Scott Reagers, former singer of the band, would join them for the upcoming European summer dates. We all wandered about that sudden change so joined guitarist Dave Chandler at Hellfest backstage before the gig. Chandler, heart and brain of the band, was incredibly talkative and nice to us, and explained the current state of the band.

LSM: Hello Dave, thanks for having us...

According to Hellfest’s depitcion, AHAB are “the kings of funeral doom, a strange and interesting genre that is able to create something so fantastic and captivating with a sedated tempo”. Couldn’t find any better description, but you better watch these guys live to understand the aims of their music and the paths you can be lead to thanks to their deadly, atmospheric vibe. Created in Germany around 2004, the actual members are Daniel Droste (guitar, vocals), Chris Hector (guitar), Stephan Wandernorth (drums) and Cornelius Althammer (bass). Today they have three albums running and a fourth to be released next month. We had a chat with Daniel Droste and Chris Hector hours before the venue to get to know them better, for they’re not a common band at all.
