Doom metal veterans The Obsessed have signed a deal with Relapse Records and plan to issue their comeback album later this year.
Mainman Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich announced the Maryland band was back earlier this year and has now revealed they’ll release the follow-up to 1994’s The Church Within in the coming months.
Saint Vitus man Weinrich is joined in the lineup by Dave Sherman and Brian Constantino.
Confirming the reunion in March, Weinrich said: “All over the world I’ve listened to friends tell me, ‘We want you to bring back The Obsessed.’”
The band are on a North American tour with The Atomic Bitchwax and Karma To Burn.
