THE OBSESSED was formed in the late 1970’s in Potomac, Maryland by legendary guitarist Scott “Wino” Wenrich (Saint Vitus/Spirit Caravan). The band spawned in the realm of musicians/artists such as Black Sabbath, Frank Zappa, The Dictators and The Stooges. Wino announced the full-time return of THE OBSESSED in March 2016 and the band’s official signing to Relapse Records to record the follow up to The Church Within. Now in 2017, THE OBSESSED will unleash Sacred, the band’s first studio album in in over 20 years. The band will perform once again as three piece featuring Wino, Reid Raley and Brian Costantino.
