Full Album Stream: Born of Osiris - The Eternal Reign

The "Full Album Streams" section of this blog not only gave folks something to listen to when they are cruising the site (being that the original intention of this site was to act as a hub to explore), but also a chance for you all to explore new artists, new genres, and new albums before deciding to purchase them (also from links on AFGM's site).

Full album streams seem to be a fad that a lot of internet savvy people are jumping on.  It can be in the form of a Soundcloud widget, a YouTube playlist, or even a single YouTube video.  This often gives record labels a chance to promote new artists and for people to subscribe to their social media pages.  So hopefully this provides you access to some new music, bands, and/or artists.  Cheers!

PS - Feel free to send us an email if you have any albums you think you should be on this list or a new one coming out we missed.  We're always listening!

Born of Osiris is a five piece group hailing from Palatine, Illinois.  The group has put out four LPs, and now two EPs under the current BOO moniker.  While this was expected to be B-sides and rarities (like most bands do for rehashing old material), Born of Osiris took a different path by re-recording their debut EP, adding a new track, and played it in it's entirety during their early 2017 tour.

On Feb. 24, Born of Osiris will release The Eternal Reign, which is a completely re-recorded and re-envisioned version of The New Reign. The release also includes a brand new song titled "Glorious Day". The track, which is available for your listening pleasure, was one of their first originally written for The New Reign, but it didn't make the cut. -AXS

"The Eternal Reign" was released on February 24th, 2017 via Sumerian Records.  The album was produced by Nick Sampson, who has also worked with bands such as Erra, Miss May I, We Came As Romans, Asking Alexandria, and many more!  For this EP, the group consists of:

Ronnie Canizaro - Vocals | Joe Buras - Vocals/Keyboards/Synth
Lee McKinney - Guitars | David Darocha - Bass | Cameron Losch - Drums

1. Rosecrance
2. Empires Erased
3. Open Arms to Damnation
4. Abstract Art
5. The New Reign
6. Brace Legs
7. Bow Down
8. The Takeover
9. Glorious Day


Wrapped and topped with a big bow for their die-hard faithful, The Eternal Reign improves upon the debut with polished production that results in a sharper, more punishing attack. While the original sounded like the band was trapped inside a thick fog, the 2017 update reveals more range to the Osiris spectrum. -All Music
