March is about five months away, but Born Of Osiris want you to know that's exactly when they will be entering the studio to record the followup to 2010's The Discovery. The band has been writing for quite a while, and must have a metric assload of new material, as hints of new songs were dropped as far back January of this year. The band recorded some pre-production demos in April. So they are ready with new music.
The band will be working with producer Nick Sampson and will enter the studio on March 22, 2013.Joey Sturgis will be in charge of mixing. A summer 2013 release is expected via their label home at Sumerian Records.
As for the sound of the record, guitarist Lee McKinney elaborates:
"We're very excited to work with [Nick] in the studio. He's a shredder and aside from that a great engineer/producer.
"We felt [Sturgis] was the best for the job since we have a lot of electronic elements in our music and he seems to be the master of all that these days. Not to mention he obviously has insanely tight production and mixing skills."
Regarding the sound of the new BORN OF OSIRIS material, McKinney said, "I would say the direction of this album is along the lines of [2010's] 'The Discovery', but definitely a lot heavier and a lot more focused when it comes to song structure. We're trying to give each song a powerful, thematic feel.
"This next record takes all of the best aspects of 'The Discovery' and develops the ideas even further.
"We already have so much material that we plan on revising and refining over the next few months. While we do that, we will still continue to write more and in the end I think we'll pick the strongest 10-12 songs so we can drop the best Born Of Osiris record to date."
The band is gearing up to head out on the road with Unearth. Tour dates can be found here.
