Osiah drop latest EP ‘Aion’ and begin UK tour.
Osiah, originating from the vibrant music scene in the North East of England, has today digitally unveiled their latest EP, Aion, through Unique Leader Records. Enthusiasts of the band can now enjoy and purchase the fresh record. Supplementing the EP release, Osiah presents a new video for their track “Within the Web,” available for viewing below.
Aion serves as the culmination of Osiah’s artistic journey, delving into the ever-changing realms of heavy music and the intrinsic nature that defines the band’s distinct character. The tracks in the EP are a blend of introspection and unveiling, drawing inspiration from contemporary giants of the genre, yet delving deep to unearth the primal vitality at the heart of Osiah’s music. Aion symbolizes not just a continuation but a sacred journey – a quest for authenticity, transcendence, and the elusive essence of their magnum opus.
“Within the Web” epitomizes this aspiration – an exploration of fresh sonic landscapes while remaining rooted in Osiah’s fundamental essence. It pays homage to the loyalty of long-time supporters while welcoming those yet to discover the unified sound. With Aion, Osiah beckons all to enter the web and experience its hidden depths!
Osiah has kicked off the “Biographyte UK tour” to accompany the release of the EP, sharing the stage with German death metal group Cytotoxin, brutal force Analepsy, and New Jersey’s tenacious Cognitive. Tickets for the tour are currently on sale.
Unconstrained by the deathcore label, Osiah’s music is a relentless fusion of the heaviest sounds the UK has to offer. While incorporating crushing breakdowns and deathly riffs, the band injects an extra touch of malevolence with discordant guitars, dynamic tempo shifts, and vocals that range from piercing screams to commanding guttural tones.
Their debut full-length album, “Terror Firma,” dropped in 2016 via Siege Music and received acclaim from prominent publications like Metal Hammer and Bloody Disgusting, firmly establishing Osiah as a heavyweight in the UK deathcore scene. Signing with Unique Leader Records in 2018, Osiah went on to release subsequent albums including “Kingdom of Lies” (2019) and “Loss” (2021), showcasing a blend of technical prowess and emotional depth in their evolving sound.
Their most recent full-length endeavor, “Kairos,” made its debut in 2023, earning praise as a “masterfully executed” (Distorted Sound) album and being hailed as “one of the strongest releases of 2023” (Everything Is Noise). Whether patrons wish to support via Patreon or opt for a one-off gesture, Osiah remains grateful.
