Born of Osiris Unveil New Track, Gear Up For Full-Length

BY Denise FalzonPublished May 13, 2009

Progressive metal band Born of Osiris have released a new track dubbed "Now Arise," which is up and streaming on the Chicago band's MySpace page. The tune is from Born of Osiris's upcoming new album, A Higher Place, to be released by Sumerian Records on July 7.

A Higher Place was recorded at Planet Z Studios in Hadley, MA, with producer Chris "Zeuss" Harris (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall). As reported by Blabbermouth, Born of Osiris guitarist Lee McKinney has commented on the new album, saying: "The songs are a much more mature evolution of what we were doing before; with the new album, you can expect longer, more developed material. For the fans who feel like they've been waiting for a long time or feel like they're in the dark on it, it's all for the better. I don't feel that A Higher Place is really what most people are expecting; it will be so much more. This is the best material we've written so far and we're very proud of it."
