The Obsessed Announce July Canadian Shows
[EDIT: For future reference, these shows were later canceled.]
The Obsessed have certainly been kicking around on tour since revamping their lineup as a double-guitar four-piece, but as they hit Freak Valley Festival next week, that will be my first time seeing their current incarnation, with Jason Taylor on guitar/vocals and Chris Angleberger on bass/vocals alongside founding guitarist/vocalist Scott “Wino” Weinrich and by-now-long-ish-time drummer Brian Costantino. The band have new Canadian dates set for July, and it’s looking like they’ll be back in Europe this Fall, as they’ve already been confirmed for Keep it Low and Up in Smoke this October, after starting their current Euro tour at Desertfest Berlin and keeping it rolling until Hellfest in France on June 17. They go. They’re already gone.
Last December brought word that the seminal doomers had signed to Ripple Music for the follow-up to 2017’s Relapse-issued Sacred (review here), and I’ve basically been waiting for the release announcement ever since. No word on it yet, but I’d believe it for sure if they had a record coming timed to the Fall tour. Or next Spring’s tour. Or next Summer’s tour. Or next Fall’s tour. Or maybe a Winter run. You get the idea.
