Legendary doom metal masters The Obsessed have announced the release of their fifth full-length record Gilded Sorrow. The album will be released on February 16 through Ripple Music, and it will offer nine electrifying songs. The band have expanded to a four-piece with Jason Taylor on second guitar, and with the newly added axe, their sound becomes even more fierce and hard-charging.
Band member and living legend Scott “Wino” Weinrich shares his thoughts:
“Adding Jason Taylor as second guitarist was one of the best decisions I’ve made because he’s a virtuoso guitar player and I must say he contributed quite a bit of good stuff to this record.”
About the new album, he adds:
“I think it’s the heaviest thing I’ve ever done. Heavy in a sense as not just sludge heavy, but well-rounded. And it sounds fantastic. Everything I do with Frank Marchand gets better and better. He knows what the fuck he’s doing.”
