Incarnate is a compilation album released by doom metal band The Obsessed. At the time of it's release it was considered a posthumous compilation as Wino was currently active with Spirit Caravan at the time. Originally released in Europe in the summer of 1999 via Southern Lord and MIA Recordings, it would be released in the United States on 9 November 1999.^[1]

It consists of tracks taken from a number of rare and unreleased sources, namely their Sodden Jackal and Altamont Nation 7"s, the Hellhound Records What the Hell! compilation, and some unreleased demos. There are also two cover songs: "On the Hunt" (originally by Lynyrd Skynyrd) and "Inside-Looking Out" (originally by The Animals and later covered by Grand Funk Railroad). The track "Streetside" is a video clip.

Notably this was Southern Lord Records' third release (Sunn3) and the first Wino-related release on that label.

On 5 March 2020 it would be announced that Blues Funeral Recordings would be releasing a new edition of Incarnate entitled Incarnate Ultimate Edition, featuring four bonus tracks, new artwork from Maarten Donders and new liner notes from Wino. This double LP release is set for 18 April 2020 on Record Store Day. The ultimate edition adds new tracks but notably omits the live versions of Lunar Womb and River of Soul.^[2]^[3]
