After roughly a decade with the band, bassist David DaRocha has quit BORN OF OSIRIS. His spot will be filled by Nick Rossi. The group has issued the following statement:
“We want to officially state that our brother, David, has decided to take time away from the band to pursue other endeavors. We’re all family and wish him the very best. We are on great terms and will miss him on the road. However, the show must go on and with that said, we are stoked to say that Nick Rossi is now a part of BOO. He’s an amazing person and very talented musician! We will see you all on the road for our dates with Killswitch Engage and more!”
Chicago-based metalcore outfit Born of Osiris were formerly known as Diminished, Your Heart Engraved, and Rosecrance before settling on their present name. Drummer Cameron Losch, guitarists Lee McKinney and Matt Pantelis, vocalist Ronnie Canizaro, keyboardist Joe Buras, and bassist David Da Rocha all met while in high school.
The band’s signature blend of thrash and progressive, melodic death metal came to the attention of Sumerian Records; they signed the band (all of whose members were 18 at the time) and released The New Reign EP in 2007. Pantelis left in 2008 before the recording of 2009’s A Higher Place. That album sold well enough to land inside the Top 100. All Shall Perish guitarist Jason Richardson temporarily joined the band in 2009. He played on 2011’s The Discovery (an album that was cut using seven-string guitars) before being fired later in the year. Produced by the band, it didn’t place as high in the Top 100, but fared better than all previous outings on various indie and metal charts.
