Originally released in 1990 and out-of-print for almost two decades, THE OBSESSED 's now-legendary self-titled debut was completely remastered by Relapse Records in 2017. The collection boasts previously unreleased bonus tracks, including the highly-sought after four-track Concrete Cancer demo (1984), expanded artwork, never-before-seen photos, and extended liner notes from frontman Scott "Wino" Weinrich making for a true piece of doom rock history.
The deluxe 2xCD version of the record includes a bonus disc containing the Concrete Cancer demo as well as a full live set from 1985 in Washington, D.C.. The Concrete Cancer demo is also available separately as a limited-edition LP.

"Scott 'Wino' Weinrich bringing THE OBSESSED back is assurance that what was sparked inside of him with another in-and-out round with Saint Vitus was no fluke.... This doom troubadour is made of iron and stone, and there's no quit inside of him." - Blabbermouth
"...the definitive take on an album that clearly laid a lot of the ground work for the current doom and stoner rock bands." - Hellbound
"...some of the greatest doom songs ever recorded have come from Wino, and this album more specifically. The album has stood the test of time, and the re-issue was overdue and needed for the new generation of doom metal fans waiting for it." - My Global Mind
"T HE OBSESSED will forever remain exalted because of their self-titled LP, a rare lightning rod of an album that helped straighten out doom when it needed it most." - Dead Rhetoric
