Born of Osiris is an American deathcore band, formed in 2003 in Palatine, a suburb of Chicago. The group underwent several name changes, including Diminished (2003–2004), Your Heart Engraved (2004–2006), and Rosecrance (2006–2007), before finally settling on Born of Osiris in 2007, basing the name on the Egyptian deity Osiris, and the tale of his son Horus.
In the early years the band was part of the Northland Chicago metalcore scene along with other (now successfully signed) bands such as Veil of Maya, Monsters, Oceano, and For All I Am.
The group is signed to Sumerian Records and has released three full lengths and two EPs on the label. Their album, A Higher Place, reached number 73 on the Billboard 200. Their second full-length album, The Discovery, released March 22, 2011, debuted at 87 on the Billboard 200.
Born of Osiris has played at various festivals including the Summer Slaughter Tour (2008, 2009 and 2015) 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; Born of Osiris also supported Hatebreed on the Decimation of the Nation Tour 2, alongside Cannibal Corpse, Unearth and Hate Eternal. In December 2009, they asked Jason Richardson of All Shall Perish to join Born of Osiris. This began a two-year period of member stability which resulted in the writing and release of The Discovery.
I paint these walls to block my point of interest
There's no escape from these thoughts this time
I may be hiding but what other choice do I have left?
My safeties are at rest
So now we are
Passing the problems off
And throwing issues around that can't stand to be in motion
So slow down and cease to a halt
I'm only dragging myself down
Down to a state of dissatisfaction
Stuck in the corner of sadness
Is there anybody there to hear the cries?
They turn their heads the other way
I will never really be content
This cheap joyless buss is inadequate
I'm choosing the solutions carefully
I'm resolving
The present location of my conscience
Lies deep below the foundation in me
Wasn't aware of the consequences facing me
Descending slowly to the reaches of hell
