About this concert
The Obsessed Er lopen in de muziekwereld heel wat cultfiguren rond. Scott “Wino” Weinrich is daar een goed voorbeeld van. Vanwege zijn uitgesproken mening, maar vooral door zijn muziek. Bijvoorbeeld via zijn rol als frontman in Saint Vitus of met Spirit Caravan om slechts twee voorbeelden te noemen. Wino’s eerste band waarmee hij succes had is The Obsessed. Eind jaren 70 opgericht, bracht hij in de jaren 90 drie albums uit op het legendarische label Hellhound Records. Daarna stopte The Obsessed om in 2016 een doorstart te maken. Nu komt de band naar Europa voor een tour die geheel draait om het derde album “The Church Within” (1994). Voor velen misschien wel hét album van The Obsessed. Er is zelfs een Duits platenlabel naar vernoemd. Als je van heavy muziek houdt met wortels in de Black Sabbath-sound, dan mag je deze show niet missen. Heavy Lord Heavy Lord is een doom/sludge band uit Hellevoetsluis, Nederland. Na te zijn opgericht in 2003, bracht de band vier volledige albums uit en speelde ze meer dan 250 shows in zeven landen. Na bijna tien jaar onafgebroken optreden, leidde een reeks verschillende redenen tot de beslissing om in volledige winterslaap te gaan. Eenmaal wakker geworden in 2021 voelde de band een enorme drang om weer zware, logge riffs te spelen en nieuwe nummers te schrijven. Voorlopig geen winterslaap voor Heavy Lord. Mould Mould is een relatief jonge Nederlandse band die een mengeling van doom en sludge presenteren. In 2024 verschijnt het eerste album “Pull & Repulsion” dat goed ontvangen wordt door de pers en publiek. Het centrale thema van het album draait om dualiteit wat in het totaalpakket tot uiting komt. Dat ook in de lage landen bands van dit kaliber rondlopen mag je zelf komen ontdekken in Grounds. Als je van bands als Thou, YOB of Neurosis houdt, moet je zeker een kijkje komen nemen. Locatie: Grounds Pieter de Hoochweg 125 3024 BG Rotterdam

Restless Spirit was awesome, wish they would have played longer! Obsessed were great but very short set. I think they only played for less than an hour. Was looking forward to some other great songs but maybe next time

The Obsessed Biography
The Obsessed is a rock band. A FUKKING HARD rock band. Since their formation in 1978, they have become known around the world for their influential contribution to the origins and continued legacy of the doom metal and underground hard rock genres. The distinctive vocals and guitar wizardry of founder and driving force Scott “Wino” Weinrich has left a mark on the world of heavy music that continues to inspire.
The Obsessed gained momentum in the Baltimore/DC area of the USA in the early to mid 1980’s during the height of the hardcore punk movement. Often cited as the band that bridged heavy metal and punk together, the band gained the respect of punk heavy weight contemporaries Black Flag, The Bad Brains, and Minor Threat, to name a few. During these formative years the band underwent a string of lineup changes while on their quest to establish their own signature sound.
Wino went on to join the doom metal giants Saint Vitus as lead singer for a handful of influential albums including 1987’s Born Too Late. In 1990, The Obsessed came back with their eponymous debut album, “The Obsessed”. This album was quickly followed by 1991’s “Lunar Womb” and 1994’s “The Church Within”. All three of these albums shaped and paved the way for future heavy rock bands and the doom scene as it’s known today. Wino’s gift for prose and his never-ending search for truth and meaning allows his words to hit as heavy as the riffs he plays.
After the The Church Within’s release on Columbia records the band went on an almost two decade hiatus. It was during this time that Wino went on to pursue many other critically acclaimed projects such as Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand, Shrinebuilder and Winos acoustic project. In 2012 Wino rejoined Saint Vitus until 2016 when The Obsessed reunited, once and for all, and has been kicking ass and taking names ever since.
Drummer Brian “Dawg” Costantino joined the band at this time. The band signed to Relapse Record and recorded 2017’s “Sacred”. Sacred brought the band to venues and festival stages around the world.
In 2022 the band became a four piece with the addition of Chris Angleberger on bass and Jason Taylor on guitar. The band has been touring heavily since and have been seen on USA and European festival stages such as HellFest, Freak Valley Festival, Snowblind and DesertFest.
The band’s forthcoming album, set to be released early 2024 on Ripple Music, marks a new chapter in their legacy. The album promises to capture the essence of the band’s classic sound while adding a fresh new atmosphere with a dual guitar attack.
The Obsessed are here to stay.
