BORN OF OSIRIS will release its new album, “The Simulation”, on Friday January 11, 2019 via Sumerian Records. Their latest video for “The Accursed” can be seen below.
Guitarist Lee McKinney states: “The first single and video for ‘The Accursed’ plays exactly off of the album titles and themes. People are stuck and addicted to machines, social media, virtual realities and anything that creates a life or reality that’s not their own. Our phones have become an extension of ourselves, a body part. We play games or throw on virtual headsets that literally suck us out of the reality we live and into a fantasy. What’s the future going to look like, a simulation? Could the simulation have already begun?
“Also, this new album keeps the integrity high across the board. I want to make the best songs I could for the people who are listening (and myself), and I want to perform them to their best ability on stage to give the people attending our shows those ‘wow’ moments. We want to give them those concert memories that’ll last a lifetime.”
Vocalist, keyboardist and synth player Joe Buras adds: “We welcome the incorporation of steel, or have we already? It’s hard to prove we are not already in a simulation with the development of AI, advances in brain mapping technology and the inevitable singularity. We now see an age that is either here or on the horizon.”
Watch “The Accursed” below and catch Born of Osiris at The Regent on “The Simulation Tour” with Chelsea Grin and Make Them Suffer on February 16. Tickets here.
