The Obsessed (US) at Von Krahl

The Obsessed in Tallinn! Prepare for a massive, heavy doom night this November!

The Obsessed was formed in the late 1970s in Potomac, Maryland by legendary guitarist Scott 'Wino' Weinrich (Saint Vitus, Spirit Caravan), drawing influence from Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa, The Dictators and The Stooges. After early line-up changes and the Sodden Jackal EP in 1983, the band broke up in the late 1980s when Wino joined Saint Vitus. A previously recorded album was later released, prompting a reunion that led to their 1994 album The Church Within, after which the band split again despite strong reviews.

The Obsessed returned in 2011 at Roadburn Festival, followed by appearances at Hellfest and Maryland Deathfest. In 2016 they reformed full-time and signed to Relapse Records. In 2017 they released Sacred, their first album in over twenty years. The line-up later stabilised around Wino, Brian Costantino, Chris Angleberger and Jason Taylor, leading to their 2024 album Gilded Sorrow, released via Ripple Music and described by Wino as one of the heaviest and most complete works of his career.

Time: 11 November, 17:00. Venue: Von Krahl, Telliskivi 60a, Tallinn.
