"Gilded Sorrow is a pivotal moment for The Obsessed from Maryland. The band is one of the earliest purveyors of Black Sabbath-influenced doom metal in the US and set the standard for the so-called Maryland doom sound. Fronted by the legendary man Wino, who has also played with such luminaries as Spirit Caravan, The Hidden Hand, Place Of Skulls, Saint Vitus and Probot, David Grohl's metal project. This journey lead Wino back to The Obsessed and the band's fifth studio album, Gilded Sorrow. Not only is this doom metal in its purest form, the band has recreated the genre. All the characteristics are present but with Wino at the helm, the band unleashes a sonic blast not heard of within doom metal before which lifts the music to unprecedented heights. Songs like 'Jailine', 'Wellspring', 'It's Not OK' and the title track are brilliant examples of Wino's talents as a songwriter."

"2020 is the 40th anniversary of the formation of The Obsessed, one of the preeminent bands in the worldwide stoner/doom scene. Led by Scott 'Wino' Weinrich, a heavy music lifer admired and acclaimed by the likes of Dave Grohl, Pepper Keenan, Henry Rollins and Phil Anselmo, The Obsessed has been releasing milestone albums for decades on labels like Hellhound, Columbia and Relapse, with Wino himself playing and performing with members of Sleep, Neurosis, Foo Fighters, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and more. Since their earliest days, The Obsessed accumulated dozens of demos, b-sides, covers and alternate recordings, many of which were issued in various limited releases and an early-2000s collection called Incarnate. Long out of print, Blues Funeral Recordings' new ultimate edition of The Obsessed Incarnate is completely remastered, features the addition of 4 new tracks, and is packaged with all new artwork, photos, and extensive new liner notes with Wino himself telling stories behind each long-lost gem."

"Led by Wino, the godfather of American doom metal, The Obsessed is one of the important bands in the history and evolution of the style. For the band's 40th anniversary in 2020, we proudly present an authorized live bootleg of Wino's favorite show the original lineup ever played. As Wino says, 'It's raw and noisy and took some cleanin'up, but here it is. If it ain't heavy, it ain't shit!!!'"
