Wino Comments On The Resurgence of The Obsessed
Before Scott “Wino” Weinrich joined doom legends, Saint Vitus, he played with The Obsessed out of his home base in Maryland. The group released three full-length albums of premo doom—“The Obsessed” (1990), “Lunar Womb” (1991) and “The Church Within” (1994). The latter album was released via major label, Columbia Records. Just a year later the group broke up.
The Obsessed was by no means the end of Wino’s story. Including appearing on more Saint Vitus records, he fronted numerous bands such as Place of Skulls, The Hidden Hand, his own solo project, an appearance with Dave Grohl and Lemmy on the Probot album and as part of the super group, Shrinebuilder. After The Obsessed dissolved, Wino formed Spirit Caravan, which contained several songs slated for a The Obsessed album that never surfaced.
Now, over twenty years since the last The Obsessed record, the group is back and contains Dave Sherman (bass) and Brian Costantino of Spirit Caravan. The group signed a deal with Relapse Records, released a demo (“Be The Night”) and has embarked on a major U.S. tour. The group plans to record it’s new album, “Sacred” very soon. Wino was on hand in Austin, Texas to talk about this new album/lineup and also shed some light on major events in the band’s past. More...
