BORN OF OSIRIS, the progressive metalcore pioneers, have ignited excitement with the announcement of their upcoming album, 'Through Shadows', slated for release on July 11th via Sumerian Records.

The band collectively shared insights into the song's meaning: "'Through Shadows' is a reflection of the human experience — both the quiet struggles and the heavy storms we each endure. It's about confronting the darkness with the understanding that without shadow, there is no light to shine through. When all feels lost, we're left with a choice: face demise or defend our existence. This song is our call to choose the light, even in our darkest moments." This statement reveals a powerful message of resilience and hope, resonating deeply within the metalcore community.
Guitarist Lee McKinney, whose status within the band had recently been subject to speculation, is indeed featured. This participation should reassure their fanbase regarding stability with the BORN OF OSIRIS lineup.
