Obsidian Hymns Records
A curated record label for artists shaping the future of cinematic and dark music. We work with a select few — those who build worlds with sound.
Distribution · The Orchard / Sony Music Group
Vision
We are a curated record label focused on dark, symphonic and cinematic music. We work with a limited number of artists who share a strong identity, atmospheric depth, and narrative-driven sound.
Our goal is not volume, but artistic direction. Every release we commit to is one we believe in unconditionally — not because it fits a trend, but because it belongs to something larger than a moment.
We are building a body of work with permanence. Music that will still matter in twenty years.
Born from 35 years of independent music. Our sister label X·DOT·25 Music pioneered World Trance and Fusion — with The Orchard / Sony Music Group since 2009, reaching 193 countries across 60+ platforms.
We do not learn this industry. We built part of it.
We sign fewer artists intentionally. Full focus, deep collaboration, no compromise on vision.
We do not optimize for streams. We optimize for impact. The right listener, not the most listeners.
Every artist we work with tells a story. Identity, world-building, and sonic consistency are non-negotiable.
We are building a catalog with lasting value — creative, cultural, and commercial.
Musical Focus
Focused on atmosphere, storytelling, and sonic depth. These are not just genres — they are ways of seeing. We are drawn to music that creates space, builds tension, and leaves a mark.
Orchestral grandeur meets heavy foundations. Cinematic scope, dramatic tension.
Darkness with beauty. The sacred and the shadows. Timeless, not trendy.
Ancient, elemental, haunting. Rooted in myth and the weight of memory.
Music built for worlds larger than a stage. Narrative, immersive, cinematic in scope.
Forward
The music we champion does not exist only on albums. It exists in worlds, in stories, in experiences that extend beyond a single format. We are positioning our artists and our catalog with this ambition in mind — the music of today laying the foundation for something much larger.
Roster
Our founding roster has been chosen with intention. Six artists from six corners of the world — each with a distinct world, a defined identity, and an uncompromising vision. This is where it begins.

"Six artists. Six nations. One direction. The Archer, Atreus, Vivar, Witte Wieven, Danann, and Raven are the foundation upon which everything that follows will be built."
