The Obsessed is an American heavy metal band from Potomac, Maryland, led by Scott "Wino" Weinrich. The band combines elements of doom metal, stoner rock, and punk rock.[1] Formed in 1980, they recorded a few demos and played a handful of live shows until they first split up in 1986 when Weinrich joined as lead vocalist for Saint Vitus, but reformed four years later.[2] After releasing three albums (including the one that was originally recorded in 1985), the Obsessed broke up for a second time in 1995.[2] After briefly reuniting for some shows in 2012 and 2013, the Obsessed announced their third reunion in March 2016.
