NEWS: The Obsessed announces U.S. headlining tour

OFFICIAL: Maryland doom legends THE OBSESSED today confirms a full US headlining tour in support of their forthcoming Sacred full-length. The tour is slated to commence on April 12th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and will run through May 20th in Baltimore, Maryland. Karma To Burn will provide direct support throughout the trek while Fatso Jetson and Lo-Pan will provide additional support on select dates. THE OBSESSED will also join Weedeater and labelmates Primitive Man on five West Coast shows during the run from April 27th through May 1st. The tour comes in advance of the band's record release show on April 8th at Kung Fu Necktie in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. All confirmed tour dates below. April 7th, 2017 will see the worldwide release of Sacred via Relapse Records on CD, LP, deluxe 2xLP, and digital formats.

Hear previously released Sacred singles "Razor Wire" and "Punk Crusher."

THE OBSESSED - "Razor Wire" (Official Track)

THE OBSESSED - "Punk Crusher" (Official Track)

With renewed energy and purpose, THE OBSESSED sounds heavier and more relevant than ever before. On Sacred, the band doubles down on enormous, heaving riffs and pummeling low-end across twelve tracks of eternal doom. Rounded out by guitarist/vocalist Scott "Wino" Weinrich's lyrical honesty and iconic throaty vocals, Sacred is an album that further pushes THE OBSESSED into the annals of heavy metal history, well worth the two-plus decade wait. The band will perform once again as a three-piece featuring Wino, Reid Raley, and Brian Costantino.
