Детали релиза : Born Of Osiris - Through Shadows (2025) [FLAC (tracks)]

Album review

Born Of Osiris has carved out a comfortable place for itself in the synth-driven metalcore family, nestled neatly between Architects and Bring Me The Horizon. While those two bands lean increasingly toward clean vocal approaches, the Illinois-based group has retained the deathcore growl on the majority of its verses.

Though the melodic chorus prevails—the ultimate weapon for getting festival crowds dancing—Through Shadows stands out by favoring a darker and more aggressive tone, even in its most melodic parts (while maintaining that halfway point between djent and progressive found in many riffs, like those heard on "A Mind Short Circuiting" and "In Desolation").


Most of the songs have that reassuring quality for fans, who are met with a sort of career (and craftsmanship) summary that’s forceful enough to avoid slipping into overly sweet melodic patterns, despite some synth sounds bordering on electro-dance. The excellent execution of tracks like "Transcendence" and the mastery of solos found on "Through Shadows" and "Dark Fable" highlights this. Well-trodden metalcore, to be sure, but still a head above what most of their contemporaries are offering. The real question now is how Born Of Osiris will manage the next chapter of their journey, with longtime guitarist Lee McKinney having left the band between finishing the recording and setting off on the road. A new era (Re)Born Of Osiris?
