OBSESSION Announces New Drummer

April 10, 2014

American metallers OBSESSION have announced the addition of drummer Yanni Sofianos to the group's ranks.

Says OBSESSION in a statement: "We have been jamming with Yanni for a while now, writing new songs for the upcoming album, and we are very excited to introduce him to the world! His amazing technical abilities help to take the new OBSESSION material to another level."

Born in Greece, Yanni can be heard on the album "Transmissions Through Oil And Blood" from the Connecticut metal band GUERRA. He is also involved with the metal act END-TIME ILLUSION, which is putting the finishing touches on a new disc.

OBSESSION will launch a Kickstarter campaign this Saturday, April 12 to fund the recording of the band's new album.

"This time, with Kickstarter and our fans help, we can make the album we want, the way we want to do it, without any outside influences," says OBSESSION. "If we hit our goal, we will have enough to finally make the ultimate OBSESSION album and release it ourselves."

OBSESSION's latest album, "Order Of Chaos", was released in October 2012 through Inner Wound Recordings. The CD was made available in Japan through Spiritual Beast.

OBSESSION gained success in the late '80s with the release of a four-song EP, 1984's "Marshall Law" (Metal Blade Records),two LPs (1986's "Scarred For Life" and 1987's "Methods Of Madness", both for Enigma/Capitol Records),and an MTV "Headbanger's Ball"-aired video for "For the Love of Money", from "Methods of Madness".
