Born of Osiris, who take their name from the Egyptian deity Osiris and the tale of his son Horus, became a part of the Northland Chicago metalcore scene alongside Veil of Maya, Monsters, Oceano and For All I Am, all of which are now signed bands. The band successfully signed to Sumerian Records and released three full-length studio albums and two EPs on this label to date. They are made up of Ronnie Canizaro on lead vocals, Joe Buras on vocals, keyboards, synthesizer and programming, Lee McKinney on guitar, David Darocha on bass guitar and Cameron Losch on drums and percussion.
They have had considerable chart success across their career, with their first full-length album, “A Higher Place” released on July 7th 2009, which reached #73 on the US Billboard 200 Chart and #8 on the US Top Independent Albums Chart, selling over 6,000 copies. Their second full-length album, “The Discovery, was released on March 22nd 2011, and debuted at #87 on the Billboard 200. They released two singles from this album, “Recreate” and “Follow the Signs”. This album also made it to #6 on the US Billboard Hard Rock Albums.
Born of Osiris is one of those bands that tour relentlessly having played an array of festivals including the Summer Slaughter Tour in 2008 and 2009 and the Music as a Weapon Tour. They embarked on a co-headline tour dubbed The Night of the Living Shred tour with All Shall Perish, After the Burial, Caliban and Suffokate. They have supported bands such as Cannibal Corpse, Unearth and Hate Eternal.
The was a video posted of the guitarist Lee McKinney rehearsing over a riff which is rumoured to be a driving component in a song that will feature on a future release. He also had an 8-string guitar custom made for him by the UK guitar company Invictus, suggesting a change in musical direction, and it did in the form of an album called “Tomorrow We Die ∆live” which was their most successful album yet making it to number 27 on the Billboard 200, selling 13,052 copies in the first week.

Heavy hardcore prog-metallers Born Of Osiris have been making tidal waves on the metal scene of late, following the release of their second full-length album ‘Discovery’ in 2011. Their brutal-to-the-ears style is offset by obliteratingly hard-hitting guitar riffs and prog-y keyboard additions, which play a large part in their sound- making the American sextet an excellent touring choice to warm up the crowds for huge bands like Hatebreed, Cannibal Corpse and Hate Eternal. The Sumerian Records-signed bunch are also veterans of the US Summer Slaughter tour, which they played in 2008 and 2009. After a few line-up changes and the unceremonious firing of guitarist Jason Richardson following the release of ‘Discovery’, Born Of Osiris still deliver the goods as a live act, with blistering riffs, incredibly tight drum solos, and impassioned screamo lyrics from vocalist Ronnie Canizaro galore. When I saw them a couple of years ago on their epic UK tour with labelmates Veil of Maya and The Faceless, the night was an absolute blast. Moshpits abounded for Born Of Osiris’ set, and the charismatic Canizaro kept the energy high throughout and had the whole crowd pummeling their feet and screaming for an encore. Their keyboard-and-guitar-driven approach to progressive metal, as well as their enduring energy onstage, makes a Born Of Osiris gig brutally enjoyable from start to finish. An awesome live show!

Best show I've been to in years! Born Of Osiris never disappoints. I remember seeing them years ago in Jacksonville, Florida when they just got signed and they brought me and my friends to their van and showed us tracks (without vocals) of The Discovery. Also, I didn't know it at the time, but they introduced me to After the Burial's glorious music. They played ATB's song Pi and my life was changed. I never looked at music the same. Mathematical, polyrhythmic time signatures is the best thing that's happened to metal in my opinion, and ATB nailed it. Fun fact about After the Burial: when they were just getting started (after their self released album) they played in my old guitarists basement in Winston Salem, North Carolina! Incredibly tiny world we live in. I don't have any stories about Veil Of Maya, but watching their drummer makes me feel like I'm on an hallucinogen... any hallucinogen. Anyway, I hope one of the band's actually read this. And if either of them remember the stories I typed, let me know! Or add me on Facebook or something.

Born of Osiris are the quintessential death core rock band: their very name pertains to this, as they take their name from the legend of the Egyptian God Osiris, lord of the Underworld, and his hawk headed son Horus. The myth is brutal and murderous, a tale of murder and of restoration. A tale that, brilliantly, summarises the band’s style and very essence. Born of Osiris have been successful on the heavy metal scene for over a decade now, amassing a huge number of fans as they have made their mark on the metal scene. Or, rather, hammered their mark on the scene. Their music is brutal and powerful, combining heavy guitar riffs and passionate lyrics. The energy they create at their concerts is out of this world, and it is never long before the crowd form a crazy mosh pit in true metal spirit, conveying their love for the band and expressing the madness induced by such a powerful, heavy and hard core set of metal head rockers. A must see.

This show was awesome even with the two stoppages that Born had to take one due to a technical issue with the sound and the other being someone getting injured in the pit. The person was ok and the show went on all the bands did great tho and the most memorable moment for me and probably the crowd was when after the burial came out and talked aboutnthe struggles they went thru in the past year with the passing of one of their guitarists justin lowe and how thankful they were for the support from all of us their fans. I will never forget the show i seen them play beofre justin played and now this ranks up there with them based soley on the fact of how emotional their setlist was. Ten ot of ten i will go see them again.

That performance was amazing. I've been a fan of all the bands there for some time now and hearing them live and moving to the music was a great feeling. I've seen all of them live before except Bad Omens and Veil of Maya, but the entire show kept me on my toes and I'm definitely seeing them all again. I need another Sumerian tour, hopefully next time with Periphery... :3

I saw boo at warehouse live it was about the 6th time I've seen them and they put on a hell of a show. They played with the devil wears prada who killed it too. Though the venues sound management could have been WAY better thats not the boo's fault I fucking love them and will see them again in a heartbeat.

The show at the Gramercy theater in New York was awesome. I do however think that Chelsea Grin was the best band there last night. The other bands were great as well but Chelsea Grin put on one hell of a show!
