Obsidian Mind is a metalcore band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was four years ago when guitarist, Jacob Daugherty started writing and brainstorming for the new project he had in mind. After a few years of hard work, through proving times and while searching for the right lineup, a foundation was finally achieved. Jacob has since moved from guitar to lead vocals, alongside Obsidian Mind's other members Stephen Dunham(guitar), John Schneider(bass), and Jordan Vidas(drums/vocals).

The band's personal music interests greatly vary between artists like August Burns Red, Jinjer, Silent Planet, Erra, Periphery, Suicide Silence, Northlane, Panic at the Disco, Rush, and Morris Day and the Time. As for influences in their writing, Obsidian Mind's goal is to combine some of their favorite styles of metalcore into a perfect blend of heavy, rhythmic, and melodic sounds. When it comes to the meaning of their music, it is easy for listeners to feel a multitude of emotions. The songs are exciting, dark, and beautiful all at once, with a bigger picture beyond the lyrics. That bigger picture is the inherent connection between people, as many of us are all the same, we go through hardships, but none of us have to do it alone. Obsidian Mind hopes to connect and build a relationship with their audience through their art, with the hopes of having a positive impact on people, no matter how big or small.

FFO: Erra, Northlane, Volumes, Counterparts, Wage War
