THE OBSESSED upcoming tour shows:

Doom rock legends THE OBSESSED has announced US headline tour dates for the Fall. The tour commences September 27 in Asheville, NC and ends October 27 in Baltimore, MD. Select support provided by Cobalt and Iron Tongue. A full list of tour dates is available below.

THE OBSESSED has released Sacred, their highly-anticipated first album in over 20 years, worldwide on CD/LP/DLX. 2xLP/Digital via Relapse Records. Physical order and bundles are available via Relapse.com HERE and digital downloads can be ordered by Bandcamp AT THIS LOCATION.

With renewed energy and purpose, THE OBSESSED sounds heavier and more relevant than ever before. On Sacred, the band doubles down on enormous, heaving riffs and pummeling low-end across 12 tracks of eternal doom. Rounded out by Wino’s lyrical honesty and iconic throaty vocals, Sacred is an album that further pushes THE OBSESSED into the annals of heavy metal history, well worth the two-plus decade wait. The band will perform once again as three piece featuring Wino, Reid Raley and Brian Costantino.

Maryland doom legends THE OBSESSED have shared the second single off the impending album Sacred, the first in over 20 years. Stream “Punk Crusher” exclusively via Brooklyn Vegan at this location and Invisible Oranges HERE.
