The Wolves Den
Talent gets you noticed. What happens next determines whether you survive.
Talent gets you noticed.
Everything after that matters more.
The Wolves Den is the official artist intake and evaluation process for Obsidian Cult Records.
We aren't looking for perfect bands. We're looking for artists who are serious about turning music into a career and are willing to learn what it actually takes to survive in today's industry.
This process gives us the opportunity to understand your music, your business, your goals, your work ethic, and where you could realistically fit inside the Obsidian Network.
Sink or Swim.
Every applicant goes through the same process so we can evaluate more than music alone.

Complete our artist intake questionnaire and submit the $35 non-refundable application fee.
Sink or Swim
Qualified applicants sit down with our team for an honest interview about the music, business, goals, work ethic, commitment, and reality behind the project.
Business Assessment
We evaluate your project against our current industry standards, including branding, marketing, live readiness, fan development, content, revenue potential, structure, and long-term sustainability.
Find Your Place
The strongest fits may be invited deeper into the Obsidian Network for development, collaboration, touring, partnerships, representation, or future opportunities.
What are we actually assessing?
The Wolves Den is not just a submission form. We are looking at whether your project has the foundation to actually move forward professionally.
What could come next?
Completing The Wolves Den does not guarantee a contract or opportunity. It gives us the chance to determine where your project could realistically fit within everything Obsidian is building.
Artist Application
It includes review of your project, your Sink or Swim interview, and an in-depth business assessment of where your project currently stands against Obsidian's current industry standards.
Payment does not guarantee acceptance, signing, representation, booking, touring, recording, television placement, or any other Obsidian opportunity.
The door is open.
What happens next is on you.
We're building a network of artists and creatives who actually want to make this their life. If that's you, take the chance on yourself.
