Hellhound Records (Vitus's then current label) released The Obsessed, an album that the Obsessed had recorded in 1985, which prompted Wino to leave Vitus and reform the Obsessed with a new rhythm section consisting of Scott Reeder and Greg Rogers. Wino recorded three albums, an EP, and a live album with Saint Vitus. The band broke up in the late 1980s and Wino went west to California to join up with Saint Vitus. Splits, first reunion and aftermath (1986–2010) The Obsessed also managed to record their debut album in 1985 for Metal Blade, but it never officially surfaced. During this time they released the Sodden Jackal EP (spring 1983) and had one track ("Concrete Cancer") featured on Metal Blade's Metal Massacre VI.

The band became a trio and remained that way until 1982 when Vance Bockis and later Norman Lawson joined the band. Before this move, however, original guitar player John Reese and Davey WIlliams on drums departed from the band. Later on a new more focused and improved group moved into a band house in Rockville, Maryland and renamed the Obsessed, where some of their most creative and hardest music was written. The band played original Punk tunes with singer Billy Beam, Jeff Urban on drums, Robert Krug on rhythm guitar and Mark Laue on bass. In the late 1970's Wino's band became known as the Leather Nunz. The band formed originally under the name "Warhorse" in 1976 in Potomac, Maryland, led by Wino.
