Info:
Obsession is a metal band from the US, formed in 1982 when they debuted on the Metal Massacre 2 compilation (Metal Blade Records). Metal Blade went on to release their ep Marshall Law in 1984, and then Obsession put out two albums on Enigma before disbanding in 1989 (Scarred for Life and Methods of Madness). Obsession reformed in 2004 and released Carnival of Lies on Mausoleum Records in 2006 and began writing Order of Chaos in 2009.
I would characterize the sound from Obsession as later-era Rainbow/Deep Purple if the band had two guitarists of equal caliber as Ritchie Blackmore and if Joe Lynn Turner had a voice more like Ronnie James Dio. Granted, not the best description, but hopefully you get the idea. As a band, each member has quite a resume. Guitarists Scott Boland (MVP) and John Bruno (X Factor X) trade solos in an incredible fashion, not relying on pure speed and tricks like so many guitarists today, but showcasing some great emotion and feeling in their playing that is really lacking in many similar bands today. Vocalist Michael Vescera has a voice that literally was made for this style of music and could be used as an example of what vocals in this style of metal should sound like.
