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. Their third album, Tomorrow We Die ∆live, released August 20, 2013, debuted at 27 on the Billboard 200, selling 13,052 copies in the first week.
Born of Osiris has played at various festivals including the Summer Slaughter Tour (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; 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.
On December 21, 2011, Born of Osiris fired guitarist Jason Richardson without prior notice. The official press release came three weeks later. Richardson immediately joined Salt Lake City deathcore act Chelsea Grin following his departure from the band. In response to the official statement released by the band, he wrote a scathing status update on his personal Facebook page, stating that the other band members frequently abused alcohol and drugs. This post caused a mixed reaction: Jason received backlash from some fans but many sympathized with his situation. Jason also stated in this post that he was involved in the writing process for the next Chelsea Grin album.
A video was posted showing guitarist Lee Mckinney working on a new riff, which is believed to be part of a song which will feature on the next Born of Osiris release. He also had an eight string guitar built for him by the UK based company Invictus Guitars, suggesting another direction that the next release will take.
Lee McKinney has started a side project called Mechanize (originally named Mecha but the name had to be changed for legal reasons), in which he produces original electronic music and remixes other artists. David Darocha has also started his own jewelry line called D A V I. Cameron Losch, Lee McKinney and former guitarist Jason Richardson are all instructors on the music teaching website Bandhappy, which is owned by Matt Halpern, the drummer of Born of Osiris's labelmate Periphery.

A Solution
Born of Osiris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spread out above now time to life
With fellow man I kneel
I seek a better sun
Unconsciously I feel
The solution of the world
Secrets in our eyes
Will call out for a new
Tomorrow before we ever knew
That it was in doubt
Let us foresee the future drought
In these lyrics, Born of Osiris is talking about a new beginning. The "risen seeds" represent new life and growth. The band is urging listeners to spread out and live their lives to the fullest, acknowledging that life on this personal level is important. They also talk about kneeling with fellow man, seeking a better sun. This could mean that the band is reaching out to their fans, and trying to be a unifying force among them.
The lyrics mention that the solution for the world is "unconscious". This suggests that the change that needs to happen in order to make the world a better place is not always easy to recognize. However, the band has hope that this solution will be found, and they urge their listeners to look towards the future with positivity.
Line by Line Meaning
My risen seeds will now begin
I am now ready to start anew, to grow and bloom
Spread out above now time to life
I will reach for the sky, embracing the opportunities that come my way
With fellow man I kneel
I humbly come together with others to share my journey
I seek a better sun
I strive to find a brighter future, a place of warmth and light
Unconsciously I feel
Deep down, I intuitively sense that change is needed
The solution of the world
I am the answer to the world's problems, as long as I take action to make a difference
We are still stuck inside the wires
Despite our attempts to break free, we are still trapped in our technological and societal constructs
Secrets in our eyes
We carry hidden truths within us that have yet to be revealed
Will call out for a new
These truths will soon demand change and transformation
Tomorrow before we ever knew
We must act before it's too late, before we realize the extent of the damage
That it was in doubt
We must confront the harsh reality and uncertainty of our situation
Let us foresee the future drought
We must prepare for the inevitable challenges and difficulties that lie ahead
