Maryland doom legends The Obsessed<\/a><\/strong> announced their full-time return in 2016, and have now revealed details for their fourth album ‘Sacred’, their first in 23 years. ‘Sacred’ is set for release on April 7th via Relapse Records. Check out the cover art and track listing below, along with a song called ‘Razor Wire’. <\/p>\n

Scott “Wino” Weinrich comments on the new album: “I can honestly say, I think this is the best sounding recording of my career, and I am excited to release it on Relapse. This song ‘Razor Wire,’ I have been carrying around the title concept and main riff in my pocket for a couple years. The full song was born after applying real life experiences, with a little wishful thinking! Fuck control.”<\/p>\n
