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.

The New Reign
Born of Osiris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Giver to the waves
I have come to destroy
I will lift this inhibition and we dawn the new day
This is a shame calling this name out of reach
Out of mind
And with nothing left to gain, a new reason to live
And with nothing to gain, we are the new reign
Sacrifice your own inspirations
The price tags on temptations
The lyrics to Born of Osiris's song The New Reign convey a message of empowerment and transformation. The singer seems to be struggling with something that is preventing their progress, represented by the line "I can't take this / Giver to the waves." However, they are determined to overcome it, and announce their intent to "destroy" it. The inhibition is lifted and a "new day" dawns - perhaps signifying a fresh start and a break from the old patterns and limitations that had held the singer back. Despite the obstacles, the singer declares that they are the "new reign" and have found a "new reason to live."
The chorus reinforces this message, urging listeners to sacrifice their own inspirations and resist the temptations that come with a mundane existence. The line "And with nothing to gain, we are the new reign" is particularly significant, suggesting that true power and freedom come from a place within oneself, rather than external rewards or recognition. In essence, the song seems to be exhorting people to find their own purpose and rise above complacency and conformity.
Line by Line Meaning
I can't take this
The current situation is unbearable for me
Giver to the waves
Letting go and moving on
I have come to destroy
I have arrived with the intention of bringing an end to this situation
I will lift this inhibition and we dawn the new day
I will remove any barriers holding us back and bring about a new beginning
This is a shame calling this name out of reach
The current state of affairs is unacceptable and needs to be changed
Out of mind
We need to stop dwelling on the past and focus on the present
And with nothing left to gain, we overcome the mundane
Despite having nothing to gain, we are pushing past the ordinary and making progress
And with nothing left to gain, a new reason to live
We have found a new purpose to keep going even when there's no reward to earn
And with nothing to gain, we are the new reign
We don't need any incentives to dominate and be victorious
Sacrifice your own inspirations
Give up what you thought was your passion
The price tags on temptations
The cost of giving in to fleeting desires

It's super sick to see this reissued, especially with Sampson behind the mix. Everything he touches I seem to love so this is all good with me even as a long time fan since the first album! Big ups guys! I'll do some screams over one of these guys for a take back here soon!

Fantastic. Definitely the best redone track I've heard from this album.
David Poissant
One of the best songs on this album
The Askari Effect
