Originally released in 1990 and out of print for almost two decades, the now legendary debut album from Doom godfathers THE OBSESSED will once again see the light of day in multiple deluxe formats. Now completely remastered with previously unreleased bonus tracks, including the highly sought-after “Concrete Cancer” Demo, and live show from 1985, this is the definitive edition is a true piece of Doom history!

The Obsessed fire up more mid-tempo biker rock on this self-titled release – fans of their doomy style will not be disappointed. With the exception of the dated-sounding “Freedom,” the band is in top form. The sheer aggression of “Ground Out,” the sludgepile “Red Disaster,” and the phased-out blues of “Tombstone Highway” more than make up for any ’80s-styled slights. A live set is also included, wherein the Obsessed create a rumble only hinted at with their studio output. The group’s relatively clean recording sound gives way to a live cacophony of noise and power, offering further testimony to their high placement amongst the stoner metal ranks.
