34.Born of Osiris-The Discovery (2011)
Prior to the release of their third LP The Discovery, Born of Osiris had already established themselves as a tight, precise progressive deathcore act with their first two records, The New Reign and A Higher Place. The Discovery was such a monumental improvement for Born of Osiris that it almost seemed like a different band had recorded it. This large jump in quality on The Discovery can be attributed to the addition of guitarist Jason Richardson to the lineup. Richardson was a far superior songwriter and guitarist than anyone the band had had in the past. Richardson took the band in a more progressive and technical direction, replacing much of the chugging monotony of their earlier material with beautiful harmonies and blistering guitar leads. Richardson's presence was seemingly contagious as everyone else in the band stepped their game up on The Discovery as well. Ronnie Canizaro's vocals were sharper than ever, Joe Buras' keyboard sections became more prominent and experimental, and, drummer Cameron Losch seemed to have doubled the speed of his blast beats from A Higher Place. Richardson unfortunately quit the band in late 2011 and Born of Osiris has since regressed back to being a solid albeit unremarkable act in the progressive metal realm. The Discovery is a remarkable record that is buried in Born of Osiris' otherwise good, but not particularity noteworthy discography.
