Born of Osiris is an American progressive death metal[1][2] band, formed in 2003. The group has undergone a number of name changes including Diminished (2003–2004), Your Heart Engraved (2004–2006), and Rosecrance (2006–2007) before finally settling with Born of Osiris in 2007,[3] basing the name off the Egyptian deity Osiris, and the tale of his son Horus.
The group is signed to Sumerian Records and has released two full lengths and one EP on the label. Their album, A Higher Place, reached number 73 on the Billboard 200.[5] Their second full-length album, The Discovery, released March 22, 2011, debuted at 87 on the Billboard 200.[6]
Born of Osiris has played at various festivals including the Summer Slaughter Tour[3] (2008 and 2009) and the Music as a Weapon Tour 4. In 2009, they played on a co-headline tour named The Night of the Living Shred Tour with All Shall Perish, After the Burial, Caliban and Suffokate;[7] Born of Osiris also supported Hatebreed on the Decimation of the Nation Tour 2, alongside Cannibal Corpse, Unearth and Hate Eternal.[8]
In December 2011, Born of Osiris parted ways with guitarist Jason Richardson.[9][10] Richardson immediately joined Salt Lake City deathcore act Chelsea Grin following his departure from the band.
