Additional notes
The Obsessed was one of the early Black Sabbath-influenced doom metal bands on the American continent. They formed in 1976 under the name Warhorse, but by 1980, they had changed their name to The Obsessed. The band had gone on hiatus before releasing several albums and breaking up in 1995.
Reunited in 2012, initially to play at the Roadburn Festival. The band did another reunion show at Maryland Deathfest XI in May 2013.
In 2016, an update from Scott "Wino" Weinrich was posted on Facebook that stated that the current members of Spirit Caravan would become the new lineup of The Obsessed. The band plays both Spirit Caravan and The Obsessed material, but they now go by the latter.
They recorded an album for Metal Blade Records in 1985, but it remains unreleased.
