Description
In the early Eighties, hardcore punk was taking over the D.C. heavy-music scene. Going against the grain, Scott "Wino" Weinrich launched stoner-doom crew the Obsessed in nearby Potomac, Maryland. The band's Sabbathian sound was all metal, but Wino's "no bullshit" approach won over punks like Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins. 1994’s The Church Within — the Obsessed’s final album before their 16-year breakup — typifies their approach, riff-soaked and tough as nails. This 2LP Revolver exclusive comes on “Transparent Blue w/ Black Smoke” vinyl.
