Obsessed is a
1990s stoner metal band formed originally in the early
1980s, led by
Scott Weinrich[?]. After Weinrich spent time with the pioneers of 1990s stoner metal and related genres,
Saint Vitus[?], he reformed Obsessed and released
The Obsessed[?]. In spite of a series of line-up shifts, Obsessed signed to
Columbia Records for
The Church Within[?] (
1994, see
1994 in music), which received rave reviews but ended up being the band's last. Weinrich then formed a band called
Spirit Caravan[?].
