SUMMARY:The Obsessed - The Church Within Tour 2026
LOCATION:Musiktheater Piano
DESCRIPTION:Scott “Wino” Weinrich is a living legend. In a way\, he is
  the American version of Lemmy and shares many traits with the late\, much
 -beloved metal icon. He’s always been a rebel\, loner and an outsider in
  an outsider scene\, pursuing his music without regard for popularity or a
 cceptance. In the process\, he came to be considered one of the early pion
 eers of American doom. All of this began when he founded THE OBSESSED back
  in the 70s\, then pursued through his many other outfits such as Saint Vi
 tus or Spirit Caravan. As a key part of the 80s Washington/Maryland music 
 scene\, his music earned the respect of metal\, punk and crossover fans al
 ike while often being dubbed doom metal. Looking back\, it was just gritty
 \, street-wise American metal with a cynical bent and psychedelic flair\, 
 and this is what made him the unique and timeless heavy music icon he is t
 oday.\n\nTHE OBSESSED was formed in the late 1970s in Potomac\, Maryland b
 y legendary guitarist Scott “Wino” Weinrich (Saint Vitus\, Spirit Cara
 van). The band spawned in the realm of musicians/artists such as Black Sab
 bath\, Frank Zappa\, The Dictators\, and The Stooges. The earliest lineup 
 consisted of Wino\, bassist Mark Laue\, guitarist John Reese\, and drummer
  Dave Flood. In 1983\, Wino took over vocal duties and the band became a t
 hree-piece to record the Sodden Jackal EP. The band broke up in the late 8
 0s after Wino moved to California to join Saint Vitus. At that time\, a Ge
 rman label\, Hellhound Records\, and the booking agency that had signed Sa
 int Vitus\, released The Obsessed\, originally recorded in 1985\, promptin
 g Wino to reform THE OBSESSED. After multiple lineup changes\, the band si
 gned to Columbia Records in 1994 to release their third and final album\, 
 The Church Within. Despite highly acclaimed reviews\, they would break up 
 following the release\, seeing Wino forming Spirit Caravan (then Shine) an
 d other projects.\nIn September 2011\, THE OBSESSED returned to the stage 
 at Roadburn Festival with The Church Within‘s legendary lineup of Wino\,
  Greg Rogers\, and Guy Pinhas. The band played a few more reunion shows ov
 er the next couple of years\, including Hellfest Open Air in 2012 and Mary
 land Deathfest XI in May 2013 with bassist Reid Raley. Wino announced the 
 full-time return of the band iin March 2016 and the band’s official sign
 ing to Relapse Records to record the follow-up to The Church Within. The n
 ew lineup originally consisted of Spirit Caravan bassist Dave Sherman and 
 Wino’s longtime friend and former road crew member Brian Costantino (dru
 ms). On October 31st\, 2016\, Wino announced a new lineup change\, includi
 ng Bruce Falkinburg (bass) and Seraphim (guitar)\, making it the first tim
 e the band had been a four-piece in over thirty-five years.\nIn 2017\, THE
  OBSESSED unleashed Sacred\, the band’s first studio album in over twent
 y years\, further pushing the band into the annals of heavy metal history.
  After a few years on the road\, the lineup stabilized around Brian Costan
 tino on drums\, Chris Angleberger on bass\, Jason Taylor on guitar\, and S
 cott "Wino" Weinrich at the helm. The iconic foursome is now ready to embr
 ace this new decade in doom with their awaited fifth album "Gilded Sorrow"
 \, to be released in February 2024 as part of their new collaboration with
  Californian label Ripple Music.\nNow THE OBSESSED comes roaring back with
  their most rocking album of all time "Gilded Sorrow"\, to be released on 
 February 16th\, 2024 through independent Californian label Ripple Music. E
 xpanded to a 4-piece with the addition of Jason Taylor on guitar\, the mus
 ic is more aggressive\, straightforward and downright mean than ever befor
 e. Wino comments: "Adding Jason Taylor as second guitarist was one of the 
 best decisions I've made because he's a virtuoso guitar player and I must 
 say he contributed quite a bit of good stuff to this record." About the ne
 w album\, he adds: "I think it's the heaviest thing I've ever done. Heavy 
 in a sense as not just sludge heavy\, but well-rounded. And it sounds fant
 astic. Everything I do with Frank Marchand gets better and better. He know
 s what the fuck he's doing."\n\n"Gilded Sorrow" was produced by Frank Marc
 hand\, Scott "Wino" Weinrich and Jason Taylor. Mixed and engineered by Fra
 nk Marchand and mastered by Alan Douches. "Gilded Sorrow" will be availabl
 e on vinyl\, CD and digital on February 16th\, 2024 through Ripple Music.\
