Album Description
Available in:
"Sacred" is the fourth full length studio album by the heavy metal band The Obsessed. It was released April 7th, 2017 on the Relapse Records label.
Sacred is the bands first release since reforming in 2016 after a near 23 year break.
User Album Review
Sacred isn’t an immediate album and took several spins to fully open up for me, but when it did, it really did, and the simple arrangements took on unexpected depth and feeling. At 43 minutes it’s the perfect length and the production puts the appropriate amount of emphasis on the guitar, while the mix conveys a rugged gravitas.
The highlights include the hard hitting grooves and razor sharp riffing of the title track, the tough, punchy “Perseverance of Futility,” and the surprisingly catchy, melancholic charm of “Stranger Things.” “My Daughter, My Sons” reminds me a lot of the Victor Griffin’s (Pentagram) solo material and has that same languid 70s rock sensibility mixed with rough and rowdy riffage. The Griffin/Pentagram similarities are present throughout the album and this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise as the two guitarists have had parallel careers and played together in Place of Skulls. Things end well with the barroom badassery of “Be the Night,” and those who get the bonus cuts will be treated to an awesome nine-minute jam-filled fantasy trip called “On So Long,” which reeks of 70s psychedelic rock and reefer madness (the guitar work here is some of the best on the album). -- Reviewed by angrymetalguy.com.
