Lillie: F-65 is the eighth studio album by American doom metal band Saint Vitus, released on April 27, 2012 (May 22, 2012, in the United States).[6] This is the first Saint Vitus studio album since Die Healing (1995) and the only one to feature Scott "Wino" Weinrich on vocals in 22 years, since V (1990). It also marks their first album with Henry Vasquez on drums, and their final release with bassist Mark Adams, who left the band in 2016 due to Parkinson's disease, which he died from in 2023.[7]

In an interview, Wino explained the album title name was in reference to a powerful downer back in the day and that Dave Chandler "really had a thing for his downers."[6]
