I really like the band, but I can't get into the synth tone. So obnoxious :lol:.

Born of Osiris are pretty awesome, there synth use is cheesy as but i still like it for some reason ha ha. Hopefully there new album is longer than there last one. The last one was like 22mins or something

I saw them last month. My friends band was the opener. Sadly its the first metal show in my city in a long time sans Testament/Soilent Green back in early autumn. People have been all over that early hardcore type of sound for a while. Don't get me wrong I like bands like Have Heart and all, but not to the point of giving up every thing more metal.

They put on a really good show. When they were delaying coming on stage for what ever reason, one of the guitarists started playing the intro for "Bleed" which prompted a buddy of mine and i to should out "more meshuggah" which was promptly delivered \m/ I was surprised when the keyboardist was a dude. Most of those deathcore acts have chicks at the keys.

I'm pretty sure a bunch of the Sumerian bands are big fans of Meshuggah... Born of Osiris, Veil of Maya, After The Burial, The Faceless maybe a little bit, etc.

Again, although I said in this thread "Veil of Maya >>> Born of Osiris" I actually like the band a lot and don't think they get enough credit for what they do. I would like to see them playing 7 strings though for a little bit of a lower sound since they're already so into the rhythmic meshuggah-esque riffs anyways.

When I saw Veil of Maya the drummer started playing the intro from Bleed and did a really good job :hbang: I love VoM but can't get into Born of Osiris as much..

I'm hoping the new album is tits. The first was, but I found the tone on the drums to be extremely flat. Do not like that. But if they up the dynamicness (if that's even a word), it should be quite tits.

They've got incredible moments spread throughout their debut, but i can't help but feel that it's all very cut & paste. Hopefully the next album shows more of an ability to write great songs, not just great riffs.

Agreed, but the snare tone is horrid. It just sounds way too flat.

I am definitely a fan of Born Of Osiris, my only beef with them is they need to write longer songs. I love the riffs they come up with and the songs flow nicely but every song on their cd is between 2 and 3 minutes, just when you start getting into it the song is almost finished. Either way I can't wait to see what they do next!

+1

hung out with these guys in my hometown and saw them in London a few days later... they are ridiculously tight! did you know the drummer writes the songs? no suprise really haha :lol:

can't wait for their next album, I can see a more mature, more heavy, better written album. tracks like 'Bow Down' begin really well and end abruptly, I'm hoping their next album will have more 'complete' and better-structured songs and they move away from the killswitch choruses.
