The Obsessed is a rock band. A DAMN hard rock band. Since their formation in 1978, they have become known worldwide for their influential contribution to the origins and ongoing development of the doom metal and underground hard rock genres. The distinctive vocals and guitar artistry of founder and driving force Scott “Wino” Weinrich have left an indelible mark on the world of heavy music that continues to inspire.
The Obsessed gained momentum in the Baltimore/DC region of the U.S. in the early to mid-1980s, during the height of the hardcore punk movement. Often cited as the band that bridged heavy metal and punk, they earned the respect of heavyweight punk contemporaries such as Black Flag, The Bad Brains, and Minor Threat, to name a few. The Obsessed’s attitude and spirit have led many to view them as “America’s Motorhead.”
The band's latest album, *Gilded Sorrow*, released in early 2024 on Ripple Music, marks a new chapter in their history. The album promises to capture the essence of the band's classic sound while adding a fresh, new vibe with a double guitar attack.
+ Support: Svjetlost
Svjetlost ontstond tijdens de isolatie van de pandemie als een persoonlijke creatieve uitlaatklep voor Jamie Kobić, bekend als de gitarist en vocalist van Gavran. Wat begon als een wens om muziek verder te verkennen via gitaar (Kobić was eerst de drummer van Gavran) ontvouwde zich in het debuutalbum The Forever Silent. Een album dat doom en stoner metal mengt met het rijke emotionele erfgoed van Bosnië-Herzegovina.
