[ OBSIDIAN TOUR · 2026 ]

OBSIDIANRIOT

Five musicians. Four cities. One record that refuses to quiet down. The Obsidian tour lands where the noise started — and it's louder this time.

[ THE BAND / EST. 2019 ]

Loud by design.Defiant by default.

We formed in a Chicago basement in 2019 with three chords and a pact — no ballads, no apologies, no permission slips. Four records and six hundred shows later, the pact holds. Obsidian Riot is the noise we made when quiet stopped working, and we still write it the same way: loud enough to carry a room, mean enough to mean it.

[ THE FIVE / ON STAGE ]

The lineup.

Five players. Five signatures. The vocalist leads the charge — the rhythm section keeps the building standing.

MIRA KOVAČ

LEAD VOCALS
Chicago-born, basement-trained, never polite. Mira's the voice that named the record and the reason the front row never sits down.

[ DISCOGRAPHY / FOUR RECORDS ]

The catalog.

Four albums in six years. None of them apologize.

SIGNAL LOST

2019 · DEBUT · Six tracks recorded in a basement over three weekends. Sold out the first pressing the week it dropped.

Home studio with guitars and keys

HARDER FREQUENCIES

2021 · LP 2 · Recorded between cancelled tours. Louder, meaner, and the first record radio wouldn't touch — which is how we knew it worked.

NOTHING STAYS QUIET

2023 · LP 3 · Nine tracks. Eleven encores. The record that put us on the main stage for the first time, and we haven't stepped down since.
