The classic 1994 album back in print on double 180-gram LP

With a special note from Wino inside the gatefold

Includes two bonus tracks!

The Obsessed frontman Scott “Wino” Weinrich Is an American metal legend, hailed by everybody from Henry Rollins to Dave Grohl to Ian MacKaye. The Church Within has never been reissued at retail in either CD or LP Format. Now comes this landmark album back in print as a double 180-gram LP!

Biker metal, doom metal, stoner metal…whatever metal subgenre you want to fit him into, “Wino” Weinrich has been at the forefront of it for more than 30 years. The unmistakable rasp of his lead vocals and thick, fuzzy Gibson guitar tone have spearheaded bands ranging from Saint Vitus to Spirit Caravan to Probot, but for many his crowning achievement (and most accessible one) was The Church Within, the last album he made with his first band, The Obsessed, for Columbia in 1994. His lone major label release, The Church Within features the dark vision and crushing, slow-motion riffs beloved by fans of Black Sabbath, but the driving intensity and atonal guitar solos recall Motorhead and Black Flag, respectively; in short, this album transcends genre classifications even as it defines them.

Now, for the first time, this lost classic of ‘90s metal is being reissued by Real Gone Music on LP with two bonus tracks (the single “Mental Kingdom” and the unreleased track “Melancholy Grey”), added photos, the original album art with lyrics and a new note from Wino himself. Everyone has sung Wino’s praises…time to join the chorus.
