Posted two days ago by their label Sumerian Records, comes another Born of Osiris music video! The song for this video, Follow the Signs, is off their latest album "The Discovery" which is by far one of my favorite albums of 2011.
What I like about this video is something you don't see very often in this genre, creativity. When was the last time you saw a ton of CG effects built from the ground up, to bring life to the subject matter of the song? Actually, the only music video I remember off the top of my head is "Sleepwalker" by Parkway Drive.
Anyways, this video takes the viewer on a crazy space-ritual type event that summons some entities down to Earth, only to destroy the cultists that summoned it. While the green screen shots of the band aren't that impressive, it still does add some better-ness to the video (I'm so sick of music videos of bands in warehouses or fields).
If you look at the lineup in the video, and you're not aware of the band changes, you might be saddened. Born of Osiris has decided to part ways with Jason Richardson. Jason, from what I have seen, was the better of the two guitarists in the band (Lee Mckinney is still badass). I guess it was no hard feelings between Jason and the band, and shortly after he left BOO, he joined Chelsea Grin. BOO said on their Facebook that there was no hard feelings and they will become more creative, energized, and focused as a band as a result.
If you like this song, defiantly pick up "The Discovery," you will not be disappointed. This album is made up of some tech metal, awesome ambient synth, heavy breakdowns, and shear brilliance.
BUY THIS ALBUM: AMAZON (you can even gift wrap that shit!)
