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 Origin
Born of Osiris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never abandoning our face
We will be found
Refusing the voice of doubt
We conquered fate
Never abandoning our face (intricate)
We will be found
Endless games you play
Why do you try to escape?
When will it become worth it
To convince yourself that you're satisfied
When the obstacles have been so neatly placed
In your design sensors miscommunicate
The failure lies in distrust of your natural instincts
I've seen the shattering of my composition
What an unfortunate visualization
We must undo the damage imprinted in
Our experience has kept us all detained
Now our design fuses missed and severed links
It will take time to reconstruct our primitive instincts
The essence of observation
Has shown us how to live
This passage in circulation
Gives birth to clarity
We are not alone (we are not alone)
In this game of exchange
In this game of retaliation
We are not alone
Endless games you play
Why do you try to escape?
When will it become worth it
To face the wrath in action
Erase establishment
To see they are worthless
We conquered fate
Never abandoning our face (intricate)
We will be found
Refusing the voice of doubt
We conquered fate
Never abandoning our face (intricate)
We will be found
Refusing the voice of doubt
The lyrics of "The Origin" by Born of Osiris speaks to the idea of overcoming adversity and doubt. The opening lines of "We conquered fate, Never abandoning our face" suggest that the singer has faced obstacles and challenges but has remained true to themselves in the process. They refuse to be swayed by the voice of doubt and remain steadfast in their beliefs.
The lyrics then shift to a criticism of those who play "endless games" and try to escape their problems instead of facing them head-on. The singer questions when it will become worth it for these people to convince themselves they are satisfied with their lives. They argue that it is a failure to distrust one's natural instincts and give in to obstacles that have been placed in their path.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of community and unity, stating "We are not alone in this game of exchange, in this game of retaliation." The singer emphasizes that we all face challenges and setbacks, but we must band together to overcome them. The lyrics end with a repetition of the opening lines and a reaffirmation of their refusal to be swayed by doubt.

I nearly raged when I read this
Ramon Segura
One thing that impresses me about BOO, is the incorporation of the Synth tracks. Really adds to the brutality.
Dylan Valorfall
Ramon Segura I'd say it adds to the "epicness", not brutality.
Jonny H
Ramon Segura I agree, man. When they hit them with breakdowns, it breaks up the rhythm enough where it sounds horrific in a good way.
Joanna Clla
i totally agree
