Born Of Osiris - Tomorrow We Die ∆live

I’d be lying to you all if I said I wasn’t in the least bit interested to hear the new album from Chicago area natives Born Of Osiris. Coming off their last critically acclaimed full length album, 2011’s The Discovery, their brand new release, Tomorrow We Die Δlive, certainly had some expectations to live up to. Unfortunately, the loss of guitarist Jason Richardson proved to be much more detrimental than they’d like to admit. Through an obnoxious and tedious use of recycled breakdown-driven grooves and all-to-familiar soloing, Tomorrow We Die Δlive comes across as little more than a shell of what once made The Discovery so great. Ultimately, this release will expose your ears to a lackluster listening experience. In Δddition, they seem to have Δ big issue with a certΔin letter of the ΔlphΔbet, since they replΔce every single one in their trΔck titles with Δ triΔngle. See how Δnnoying that gets?

Bands for the Atticus Metal Tour III Confirmed

Born of Osiris and Darkest Hour have been confirmed as the headliners on this years installment of the Atticus Metal Tour. Aside from making shoes that are pretty dope, Atticus is gradually upping their game with their annual traveling circus. Darkest Hour shredded on a handful of dates during last year's tour, but will be on for each of the 30 or so dates (exact gigs have yet to be announced) likely performing various tracks off their upcoming release The Human Romance. Supporting acts on the tour include As Blood Runs Black, Sleeping Giant and friends of the 'Topia, The Human Abstract.

More details to come via the tour's Facebook page. Get stoked.
