The Obsessed
The Obsessed formed in Potomac, Maryland in the late 1970s under guitarist and vocalist Scott "Wino" Weinrich, becoming one of the foundational acts in American doom metal. After initial activity through the early 1980s, Weinrich joined Saint Vitus in 1986 before reforming The Obsessed around 1989 and signing to Hellhound Records, which released their self-titled debut followed by Lunar Womb (1991) and The Church Within (1994), the latter picked up by Columbia Records. After a lengthy dormancy, Weinrich relaunched the band fully in 2016, releasing Sacred on Relapse Records in 2017 and Gilded Sorrow in 2024. Weinrich is widely regarded as a foundational figure in doom and stoner metal.
