Capitalizing on the huge embrace and critical success of their long awaited studio return “Sacred“, The Obsessed will tour the U.S. again this fall. The headlining tour will begin September 27th in Asheville, North Carolina and end October 27th in Baltimore, Maryland. Direct support will be provided by Cobalt and Iron Tongue on select dates. A full list of tour dates is available near the bottom of this page. 

In The Obsessed-related touring news, the band was also named as one of two bands, alongside the Devin Townsend Project, that will provide support for Clutch’s upcoming winter tour. Find that schedule here.

Coinciding with the tour announcement, the doom legends have shared an acoustic performance of “On So Long” recorded live at the Gibson Guitar Recording Studio in New York City. The song is a bonus track off the band’s recently-issued Sacred full-length album.
