About Born of Osiris

Born of Osiris exemplify the fluid nature of extreme metal in the early 21st century. Rather than strive for a trademark style, they embrace process: consistent sonic upgrades and bold genre leaps. Forming in 2003 while still attending high school in the Chicago suburbs, the band tried on metalcore, post-hardcore, and even a little hip-hop before pivoting to the technically complex deathcore heard on 2009’s A Higher Place and 2011’s The Discovery. With their growing popularity helping to build Sumerian Records into a commercial force, Born of Osiris could have ridden the sound out for several more records. Instead, in 2013 they cooked up Tomorrow We Die Alive, a journey into progressive metalcore wrapped in symphonic programming, electronic instrumentation, and intricately pointillist fret work. Toward the end of the decade, Born of Osiris once again shifted focus, and by the time they dropped Angel Or Alien in 2021, all that crunchy brutality and djent-informed riffage were interlaced with sinewy prog-rock solos and the kind of EDM-inspired synthesizers that have helped to reshape so much of modern popular music.
