Born Of Osiris - The New Reign

I was lucky enough to go to the Summer Slaughter tour this year and whent only really to see As blood runs black & Annotations of an autopsy but I came out liking three bands, the third being Born Of Osiris.
They simply blew me away, every member looked completely insane in that way that hannibal does...All in the eyes.

I came home and downloaded their album and instantly loved it. This chicago based 6 piece have been known under 4 names in the past and only settled on Born Of Osiris  in 2007 and got signed pretty much instantly only to release their debut album a few months later.

What an album it is, Opening with the song "Rosecrance" you are blasted away by just how heavy and relentless this band are. Vocalist Ronnie Canizaro has a brilliantly brutal voice and the best track to hear this on is without a doubt "Bow Down" which aptly opens with the lines "Fucking Bow Down".
Some of the guitar work on this album is breathtaking, Its hard to mix complex guitar lines and heavy riffs together without straying into the realms of Dillinger Escape Plan etc. but Born Of Osiris have done it, and well.

I highly recommend this album to anyone who is a fan of As Blood Runs Black,Suicide Silence and other such metalcore/death metal bands.
