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.

Regenerate
Born of Osiris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To reveal whats inside of you
These are the feet we're shaking
Soon they'll reveal
The inner powers too
In the element of truth
Try not to think so hard about it
Your negative ambitions
Will dissolve in our presence
Try not to let this consume you
The pain will only thicken
Your tired thoughtless unused mind
Will have a new beginning
These are the things we're shaping
To introduce a set implications
Against your force of will
Closed eyes will never open
Closed minds there's no objections
Closed eyes will never open
Closed minds there's no objections
Can you comprehend the misdirection
It's so easy to give in
When you're facing counteraction
Ask yourself if you are ready
To self regenerate
A simple gift is waiting
No remorse for the ones who don't accept
I know everyday gives us a reason to breathe
A chance to fulfill our destiny
I will not relive my own mistakes
Do you feel no remorse for the ones who don't accept
I know everyday gives us a reason to breathe
A chance to fulfill our destiny
We're fortunate to live in this position
So why do you make it so complicated
To view a sense of recognition
You're stuck inside the womb of contradiction
We must make haste and breakaway from all this fucking madness
We wont have it
All this fucking madness
Let's end this now
How did we get so far away, separate from ourselves
We will redeem our promise
That we would return one day
Divided no return of self
Misguided now return yourself
This could be a fantasy standing on the line
Between solid or transparency what am I distinguishing now
Closed eyes will never open
Regenerate
Closed minds there's no objections

We need to quickly leave this insanity behind us
We wont have it
We won't tolerate it
Let's end this now
We should put a stop to this immediately
How did we get so far away, separate from ourselves
How did we distance ourselves from our true identities?
We will redeem our promise
We will fulfill our commitment
That we would return one day
That we would eventually come back
Divided no return of self
Once split, there is no compromise
Misguided now return yourself
If misguided, correct your path
This could be a fantasy standing on the line
This could be an unrealistic situation, teetering on the edge
Between solid or transparency what am I distinguishing now
Am I differentiating between something concrete or something insubstantial?
Closed eyes will never open
You will never gain new insight by remaining ignorant
Regenerate
Renew oneself
Closed minds there's no objections
Having a closed mind means no new ideas or objections
Regenerate
Renew oneself

11 years later and this is still the best part in a song I've ever heard, nothing else has given me the inspiration and appreciation that this part gives me.
