Description: The influential pioneers of heavy music from Maryland, THE OBSESSED, have unveiled their impressive new album, Gilded Sorrow. The new release delivers a dense, powerful sound that's immensely gratifying, solidifying its place as a significant entry in Wino's esteemed repertoire. As a respected musician and frontman of numerous inspiring bands, Wino continues to shape the landscape of heavy music through THE OBSESSED and their new material. Stoned Back to the Bomb Age aptly showcases the essence of the album.
Wino says: "There was a time when I listened to a lot of daytime radio to take the edge off an extremely mundane lifestyle. George W. Bush was president and the USA had started the Afghanistan war. One day, I heard deputy secretary of defense [Richard] Armitage say: 'If Pakistan gets involved in this, we will bomb them back to the stone age.' I was struck by the callous brutality of this statement, and we crafted 'Stoned Back To The Bomb Age' in a straightforward 'fuck you' to these inhuman war pigs and the other unelected swine that run the world and are plotting humanities demise as you read this!"
