The Obsessed is the debut album by American metal band the Obsessed, released in 1990 by Hellhound Records.[3] All songs were recorded in 1985 for an intended album for Metal Blade Records, which had never been released. The release of this album prompted singer Scott "Wino" Weinrich to leave Saint Vitus and reform the Obsessed with a new rhythm section.
The album was re-released by Tolotta Records in 2000 with new artwork and 10 live bonus tracks recorded at Glenmont Rec. Center in Wheaton, Maryland, on February 25, 1984.
It was re-released again on November 17, 2017, by Relapse Records with a slightly updated version of the original artwork. The CD version came with a bonus disc that included the 1984 demo Concrete Cancer, as well as a concert recorded "Live at the Bayou" in Washington, D.C., on April 15, 1985.
