From Local Talent to Global Success: Unraveling the Phenomenal Journey of Obsidian Cult Records in the Music Industry - Exclusive Interview!

 



1. How did Obsidian Cult Records come into existence, and

what inspired you to start this independent A&R Label?

Obsidian Cult Records was established to provide artists with the tools and resources

they need to be successful. After experiencing the cutthroat nature of the music

industry with my previous band, I wanted to create an anti-label that supports

musicians without upfront costs or taking away their rights. Our mission is to empower

talented artists, offer exclusive access to resources, and help them build sustainable

music careers.


2. Can you tell us more about the personalized artist

development programs that Obsidian Cult Records offers to

musicians?

Certainly! Obsidian Cult Records offers personalized artist development programs that

focus on understanding each musician's unique strengths and goals. We provide

guidance in songwriting, composition, vocal/instrumental coaching, production

assistance, and branding strategies. Access to industry professionals and support in

various areas of the music business is also included. Our aim is to empower artists to

build sustainable careers, explore multiple revenue streams, and maintain their artistic

integrity and vision.


3. How does Obsidian Cult Records strategically contract

with artists to help them expand their reach and grow their

careers?

At Obsidian Cult Records, our strategic contracting with artists is based on a

collaborative and artist-centric approach. We prioritize the artists' interests and

creative freedom while ensuring they have access to the resources they need to

expand their reach and grow their careers. Our contracts are designed to be fair and

transparent, ensuring that artists retain ownership of their music and creative rights.

We work closely with each artist to develop personalized strategies that align with

their goals, whether it's through targeted marketing campaigns, exposure to new

audiences, or exploring various revenue streams. By providing exclusive access to

industry professionals and valuable tools, we aim to foster their growth and success in

the music industry while maintaining a mutually beneficial partnership.


4. San Antonio, Texas, is known for its rich music culture.

How has the local music scene influenced Obsidian Cult

Records' approach and mission?

San Antonio's vibrant music culture has had a profound impact on Obsidian Cult

Records' approach and mission. Being situated in such a music-rich city, we have been

exposed to a diverse range of talented artists and musicians, each with their unique

stories and journeys. The local music scene has reinforced our belief in the power of

music and the importance of supporting artists in their pursuit of a successful career.

Witnessing the challenges and triumphs of local musicians has further fueled our

commitment to being the anti-label, providing a platform that empowers artists to

thrive without the typical barriers of the industry. Our experiences in San Antonio have

strengthened our resolve to nurture artists' growth, offer valuable resources, and

ensure that they have the support they need to turn their passion for music into a

sustainable living.


5. In what ways does Obsidian Cult Records foster a

collaborative and supportive community for artists? Can you

share some examples of how this has benefited musicians

on your label?

Obsidian Cult Records fosters a collaborative and supportive community for artists in

several ways. Firstly, we prioritize open communication and a strong partnership with

our signed artists. We actively involve them in decision-making processes and seek

their input on various aspects of their music careers. This collaborative approach

ensures that their artistic vision is honored and respected.

Secondly, we encourage artists on our label to connect with one another, share

experiences, and collaborate on projects. This sense of camaraderie among our artists

creates a supportive community where they can learn from each other and find

inspiration.

Furthermore, we organize events, workshops, and networking opportunities to bring

artists together with industry professionals. This not only enhances their skills but

also helps them build valuable connections within the music industry.

One example of how this collaborative and supportive community has benefited

musicians on our label is the formation of bands through artist connections within the

label. Some of our artists have come together to create new bands and explore

different musical genres, leading to exciting and innovative collaborations that might

not have happened without the supportive environment Obsidian Cult Records

provides.

Additionally, we've witnessed instances where more experienced artists have

mentored and guided emerging talents, helping them navigate the challenges of the

industry and refine their craft. This mentorship has proven invaluable in supporting the

growth and development of our artists.

Overall, by fostering a collaborative and supportive community, Obsidian Cult Records

creates an environment where artists can flourish, learn from one another, and

collectively work towards building successful and sustainable music careers.


6. As the owner of Obsidian Cult Records, what do you

consider the most significant achievements or milestones for

the label so far?

As the owner of Obsidian Cult Records, one of the most significant achievements for

the label has been the recent signing of Counterfeit Icons in San Antonio. We are

thrilled to have them as part of our roster and to be supporting their musical journey.

An important milestone in our collaboration with them has been fully automating their

merchandise sales, allowing them to start generating revenue from their music. This

achievement exemplifies our commitment to empowering artists to make a living from

their passion without the burdens of massive upfront costs or complicated industry

barriers. We see this as a step forward in our mission to provide artists with the tools

and resources they need to succeed in the music industry.


7. Turning passion for music into a thriving career is a

challenging process. How does Obsidian Cult Records guide

and support artists through this journey?

At Obsidian Cult Records, we guide and support artists in their journey of turning

their passion for music into a thriving career through a personalized and

comprehensive approach. We provide exclusive access to resources, including

industry professionals, production studios, marketing expertise, and other

essential tools to create high-quality music and effectively promote their work.

Our collaborative relationship with artists involves open communication, where

we value their creative vision and involve them in decision-making processes.

We work closely with our signed artists to develop tailored strategies that align

with their unique strengths and goals. From artist development, including

songwriting, composition, and branding, to exploring multiple revenue streams

like merchandise sales, live performances, and licensing opportunities, we

ensure they have the support and guidance they need to succeed. Moreover, we

encourage artists to connect with one another, fostering a supportive community

that encourages collaboration and inspires growth. Our ultimate mission is to

empower artists at every stage of their music career, providing the necessary

tools, resources, and a nurturing environment to help them build sustainable

long-lasting careers.


8. Building a global audience for bands requires effective

strategies. Could you elaborate on some of the key

approaches Obsidian Cult Records employs to help artists

reach an international fan base?

Certainly! Obsidian Cult Records employs effective strategies to help artists

reach a global audience. We focus on building a strong online presence through

digital marketing and social media, reaching new fans worldwide. International

distribution and licensing opportunities are pursued to ensure their music is

available on major platforms and featured in various media. We support artists in

planning international tours and live performances to connect directly with

Canadian death/Thrash act DECORPSETATED release lyric video from upcoming debut album










Decorpsetated unleash the first single - "Human Words" with lyric video from their upcoming debut album which will release on March 31st, 2023. The video recently premiered via Metal-Rules which can be found here: https://www.metal-rules.com/2023/02/09/canadian-death-thrash-act-decorpsetated-premiere-lyric-video-for-human-words/



Album description:

decorpsetated
/dəˈkôrpsəˌtādəd/

adjective
adjective: decorpsetated

(of a sentient being) to have had one’s corpse
violently and abruptly removed from their soul.
“this decorpsetated soul may never find its way
without a vessel”

Description:
Track by track, Human Words peals back the layers of human selfishness. With teeth gnashed and claws drawn, this vicious account of raw humanity will leave you questioning how we still exist, as well as whether we should… oh, and it rips pretty hard, if you’re into that sort of thing.

From the artist:
“As musicians we often end up with seemingly endless folders of unreleased music for one reason or another. You always tell yourself you’ll put together an album but you never do. So I started chipping away at a collection of my favourites with absolutely no vision of how it would turn out. 3 years later I’m sitting back in my studio listening to songs I thought were about greed, war, and extinction, only to be slammed with the reality that these were in fact metaphorical manifestations of my own emotional bullshit. In that moment I knew these stories had to be shared. What if someone else is facing similar struggles and trying to interpret them through a similar lens?”
-Marc

MORDKAUL Unleashes "Crown of Worms", Second Single from Forthcoming Album

 



With “Crown Of Worms”, Mordkaul releases the second and opening track of the upcoming album “Feeding The Machine”.


Belgian melodic death metal band MORDKAUL has recently released "Crown of Worms," the second single from their upcoming album "Feeding The Machine - Part 1". Serving as the opening track of the album, "Crown of Worms" follows the band's debut album, "Dress Code: Blood," but with more diverse influences. Nonetheless, it still carries the Swedish death metal feel that defined the band's earlier sound.

The track starts with a building intro, followed by a moshpit-inducing arrangement. The aggressive dual vocals, energetic drumming, and groovy midsection with shredding solos, as with their first track release, "For I Am Machine", are expected.

In the band's own words, the lyrics delve into humanity's tendency to admire and follow individuals who lack moral qualities, despite their eventual misguidance and corruption of our soul.

"Feeding The Machine - Part 1" was recorded at Project Zero studio by Yarne Heylen in the summer of 2022. As with "Dress Code: Blood," Dan Swanö handled mixing and mastering. The album is slated to be released on February 16th, 2023.
