Obsolyn

Obsolyn did not begin cleanly. It began in the rubble.

Jesse Jones (bass), Joey Lopez (guitar), Stephen Ryan (guitar), and Brandon Graham (drums) had built something together before — a band with momentum, a sound with direction, and a shared hunger that outlasted the project itself. When their vocalist departed and the previous chapter closed, the four of them faced a familiar crossroads: dissolve, or rebuild from the ground up.

They chose differently. They chose to rebuild with intention.

The first move was recruiting Dominique Leath to front the band on vocals — a decision that didn't just fill a role, but redefined the band's ceiling. The second move was building the Shred Shed: an acoustically treated rehearsal and recording space, constructed by hand, that would become not just their studio but the origin point of everything Obsolyn is.

The band they became is not easy to place. Rooted in the aggression of metalcore and death metal, stretched across the atmospheric and progressive, Obsolyn pulls influence from Architects, Gojira, Knocked Loose, and Converge without sounding like any of them. The music processes pain, channels darkness, asks hard questions, and refuses easy answers. It is cathartic and existential and visceral, often at the same time.

Their debut EP was written, tracked, and produced entirely in-house. No label. No studio time. No shortcuts. Every drum hit, every riff, every vocal experiment lives in the Shred Shed. 

Obsolyn is not a side project. It is not a hobby. It is the thing that exists when five people decide that the weight they carry deserves a shape — and they build that shape themselves, in the dark, until it burns.
