BORN OF OSIRIS Announce Five Canadian Tour Dates For March 2023
December 14, 2022, a year ago
American progressive metalcore band Born Of Osiris is coming to Canada this March, with special guests Reaping Asmodeia and Bystander. The tour is presented by Modo-Live & Programme.
The Chicago-based progressive metal outfit Born Of Osiris are known as one of the first deathcore acts from the 2000s to leave that genre behind in favor of a brutal yet alluring meld of technical death metal and metalcore filled with flashy twin-guitar leads and near-psychedelic keyboard adventures that owe as much to Judas Priest and Iron Maiden as they do Helloween and Meshuggah.
Tour dates are as follows:
March
5 - Rickshaw Theatre - Vancouver, BC
7 - Starlite Room - Edmonton, AB
8 - Dickens - Calgary, AB
9 - Louis’ - Saskatoon, SK
11 - Park Theatre - Winnipeg, MB
Tickets go on sale on December 16th at 10AM PST here.
Though they began as a typical deathcore band with 2007's The New Reign EP, by 2009's Higher Place, they'd all but abandoned that sound to focus on a more technically advanced, melodically astute, and brutally forceful approach. Its appeal garnered an ever-growing cadre of admirers. They have placed four albums in the upper half of the U.S. album chart, including 2013's Tomorrow We Die Alive, which peaked at number 27. Subsequent titles like 2015's Soul Sphere went to number two on the hard rock charts. 2017's The Eternal Reign was a progressive, track-by-track re-recording of 2007's The New Reign; it met with both high praise and withering criticism. 2019's The Simulation was 28-minute EP that was reportedly the first of a two-part album, but it never materialized. An entirely different outing titled Angel or Alien appeared in July 2021.
