Accurate, i started listening to BoO 3 yrs ago and that's the last album I've understood. It has melodies, high moments, and a lot of emotions. A Descent is still one of the best song i've ever heard
Deku Butler I got into metal in 2010. This album was a year old at that time, but I decided to buy this before listening to The Discovery. A Higher Place was love at first listen for me. Definitely this track. It got to me hard.
It actually is. Dunno why, but people just don't know that songs like Exist or put to rest exist (no pun intended). It seems like that album was skipped, people know songs like open arms to damnation, bow down and everything from the discovery and later stuff but not a higher place.
i wish boo played music off of "A Higher Place". They barley even talk about this album. In my opinion it's some of their best work, and it's my favorite guitar work out of all the boo albums.
One of the best parts about this band that no other metal band pulls off is the fact that they never repeat their song structure. Every part is so brutal you almost want them to repeat but they just keep progressing into even more dynamic form. Born of Osiris Owns.
All anyone did was bitch and moan that there weren't enough breakdowns when this album came out. They got so much backlash that they quickly went to work on The Discovery, leaving this gem to the dust. Six years later and BOO has released nothing BUT breakdowns. This album isn't so bad now, is it?
+Brutalious i loved the fuck out of this album when it came out and i never understood why people bashed solely on the production quality. exist, the accountable, a higher place, elimination, live like im real are all 5/5 in my book
This is their heaviest album Imo, Discovery is overrated i reckon and the mix is kinda lifeless, Follow the signs, regenerate and Behold are the only good songs on that record.
How old is this jam? 2012? 10? My ass hurts I’m so old big papi is hard like a rock boy ready to pop boy camo khan ain’t got shit on me papito senorita
Seriously I never understood why this BOO album was so over looked. Do they ever even play songs live off this album? It's actually a really solid album.
It’s not their first album and it doesn’t have that much of their distinct memery. As a reference Machine is their biggest song and that’s the style they started becoming known for.
BOOs progression is really interesting to me. The earlier albums deal with conspiracies and sort of secrets of society. The later they deal with the human condition and ascension. I wonder where their head is at on all of this. I love it
RichieGoPro both topics are connected. specially since everything important comes from the fertile crescent. religions and secret societies included. that's what makes them so wise.
With this subgenre, it's the way that the odd timing and beat is all pulled together that makes it so awesome.. And while that doesn't necessarily make it better, it is hard to play. Most musicians - even if they don't like the genre - can appreciate the difficulty of producing songs like this that don't sound completely shit.
If it wasn't for Soul Sphere I would have never come across these guys. Not sure how the hell I missed them but this band rocks! I love the black metal influence, reminds me if highs hook listening to Dimmu 15 years ago.... some parts anyway. Love their production.
I take back what I said up there. If you haven't listened to a higher place, give it a solid chance. I was brainwashed into thinking it was bad from all the hate. Twda will always suck though.
No clue why this album was so overlooked, I appreciate the dash of prog here and there and the commitment to a stronger song structure. Also while this mix sounds full and aggressive, it doesn't sound lifeless and overproduced.
Why the fuck is everyone hating on tomorrow we die alive? Divergency, illusionist, imaginary conditions, source field, vengeance... They're all fucking amazing songs. People are too damn critical about shit that doesn't sound exactly like the discovery.
+meth0d Well i have it like 1. The new reign 2. Soul sphere 3. TWDA 4. Discovery 5. A higher place But i like them all tho and it's not like I consider a higher place a bad album but in comparison to their other work I feel like its maybe the weakest.
Albert Suchan IMO, I think the reason AHP could be their "weakest" album is because it was their first album attempting the sound they have now. Like comparing ANR to that is like apples to oranges. Definitely a change in pace but still new waters they were swimming in. Love all they put out but AHP will have a special place in my heart. 🖤
These guys, Periphery, Veil of Maya, After the Burial, the classic "sumeriancore" collective bands. Other than Periphery, who was the last of these bands to form, these bands have only had brief moments in the spotlight. This style is so unsung. These kids, some of them still in highschool, were taking this music and, somehow, simultaneously combining incredible proficiency and technicality with a raw "just go for it" attitude. This sound was a completely fresh mix of heavy & complex with fun & laid back energy. The stuff BOO was playing off their first record in 2007 was super precise, and they were new, broke, and straight-up raw dogged those songs live with no in-ears to provide click tracks, but somehow managed to nail it regardless. These bands weren't copycats of anything, cause nobody was making music like this at the time, and writing this had to take a ton of originality on top of all of the skill and proficiency. And it's not even music chicks dig, like, at all. They spent the prime of their youth doing something completely out there. It's just insane to me that these bands even exist, let alone before the 2010s. It's like Meshuggah in the 90s. It's that authentic spirit of this music that pulls me to it. There's never been much money or anything to gain for playing it, there was no "cookie cutter" pattern to copy from older bands already playing it, and knowing how hard it is to get a bunch of young dumb kids to organize, practice, write, and perform well, just like, wow dude. Absolute hats off to these guys. If only the world could be as real as you have to be to make this happen.
So well written and stated! It was a wild time in metal music experimenting. I remember hearing BOO for the first time and then being completely blown away by the fact they were putting out stuff while in high school! After the Burial remains one of my favorites also. And my friends and I always debate over who does the best outros...VOM or ATB 😂
A Public Service Announcement: Down tuned guitars and breakdowns do not mean something is Djent. For more information on djent, please contact your local Peripshery, After the Burial, Erra and Northlane.
Public Service Announcement: Your commenting on a song that came out YEARS before Erra or Northlane were even on the map.. Also, "Djent" is not a genre, therefor Periphery, ATB, Erra, and Northlane are not "djent." Erra and Periphery play completely different styles of music!! Just because music is more "technical" or "progressive" doesn't mean that it's automatically put into some category called "djent." P.S. Without BOO, Erra would not exist. I'm like the biggest Erra fan there is, but even they acknowledge BOO as being one of their biggest influences.
The composure of my soul is harmonized by the sounds that travel into me. Show me the answers I've been looking for. Where did they come? Nothing seems real anymore I am no stranger to all this bullshit. Time is coming to an end, prepare for the worst, and try to keep unity! Make a statement but you bleed your head is spilling. All the wars, all the rivalries. These lyrics, the guitars, and keys/synth are the reasons why I love this band so much.
kangaroodude34 yup, it reminded me the great old stuff they made in A higher place. I wish all TWDA songswould have been similar to Imaginary Condition.
I always see huge debates over what genre something is. I'm 34 so I'm not quite used to having so many sub-genres. I really don't see a need for it. Or labelling things as Djent. What the hell does that even mean? I read stuff about it having poly rhythms and crunchy guitar effects. Even jazz has poly rhythms and backwards sounding beats that bounce on the off beat. So is some Jazz Djent? Even some hip hop now has beats that breakdown like a metal song. Crashy cymbals on every fourth beat and snare hits once every 80 bars. Are we going to have Djent sub-genre so specific it includes one band? What do you think? I think music can be anything and doesn't have to be negatively labelled like Djent has been. Every time a band is called Djent by someone it always has a negative twist to it. Djent djunt djent - dj-dj-dj djent. Or is it just named from the crunch of the palm muted guitars? lol
lugoe98 So basically it's a stupid and overly anal phrase that has no other application, and thusly can be ignored as nothing more than the ramblings of village idiots with entirely way too much time on their hands. P.S. I am also 34 and all of these meaningless distinctions are just that.
What's wrong with having an accurate way to describe a bands sound? Sub-genres are great, and those who have a problem with them are just lazy and don't feel like educating themselves in my opinion. I would find it annoying if someone labelled a band like this anything other than what they are. Metal has become so diverse that we NEED a way to differentiate between bands, even if they DO share similarities.
I love this song and entire album. It always makes me feel as if I’m in another reality yet so familiar simply a higher place (consciousness) very mystical and beautiful...
Frederick J. Valentine No one is? really? so they have zero fans? such a stupid thing to say. They have alot of original fans who are still fans today. Me being 1 of them.
I feel like this is the very essential Born of Osiris. After this album, they started to get carried away by their fan demands. Even with The Discovery, which is an amazing work.
Me and my friend saw him behind stage before their set(Atlanta) and we called him and we spoke for a while and then he asked us to help him set up his drums on stage! then we talked to the rest of the band!! They're the coolest people ever!
"The composure of my soul is harmonized by the sounds that travel into me." Those some freaking awesome lyrics right there.
THE BEST PART
I always thought he was saying "don't go butchering my soul this harmonized lies a sausage of polygamy "
this album was so ahead of its time that even today people still don't understand it
Most underrated comment on youtube ever.
Accurate, i started listening to BoO 3 yrs ago and that's the last album I've understood.
It has melodies, high moments, and a lot of emotions.
A Descent is still one of the best song i've ever heard
I agree with all of you
Deku Butler I got into metal in 2010. This album was a year old at that time, but I decided to buy this before listening to The Discovery. A Higher Place was love at first listen for me. Definitely this track. It got to me hard.
Evan Thomason I really think it's all good!
A Higher Place is such an underrated album in my opinion.
True, its a real masterpiece like rest of their albums
It's my fav of theirs, def underrated. Back when they actually had riffs instead of chug filling lol. I do really love Soul Sphere tho.
It actually is. Dunno why, but people just don't know that songs like Exist or put to rest exist (no pun intended). It seems like that album was skipped, people know songs like open arms to damnation, bow down and everything from the discovery and later stuff but not a higher place.
Exist is my favorite song from BOO.
Mine too actually
The most underappreciated era of Born of Osiris ever. A Higher Place was ahead of its time
Truly! Lee's guitar work in this album is really something!
Agreed!
This album could be released in 2023 and no one would bat an eye!
@@chrisfranklin4061this is the problem
That beat at the end still gives me the chills. Love it.
THE COMPOSURE OF MY SOUL IS HARMONIZED BY THE SOUNDS THAT TRAVEL INTO ME.
The best part. Beat at the end is so good
FACK YEAH MAN
THE COMPOSURE OF MY SOUL IS HARMONIZED BY THE SOUNDS THAT TRAVEL INTO ME
this takes me back to high school
No joke
+colton barnes the whole album definitely brings back the emotion of living in a different place as a 15/16/17 year old :/
HooverBeast a lot of albums do that for me, pretty bittersweet
i wish boo played music off of "A Higher Place". They barley even talk about this album. In my opinion it's some of their best work, and it's my favorite guitar work out of all the boo albums.
the discovery is subperb I'm sorry
Still a god tier song in 2024
One of the best parts about this band that no other metal band pulls off is the fact that they never repeat their song structure. Every part is so brutal you almost want them to repeat but they just keep progressing into even more dynamic form. Born of Osiris Owns.
still holds up 10 years latter
No doubt
A Higher Place and The Discovery, masterpieces why I love BoO
@H3llraiser 1302 Agree, I feel stupid for not saying that. Straight classic, that was the first stuff i heard but those two albums destroyed my soul
All anyone did was bitch and moan that there weren't enough breakdowns when this album came out. They got so much backlash that they quickly went to work on The Discovery, leaving this gem to the dust. Six years later and BOO has released nothing BUT breakdowns. This album isn't so bad now, is it?
+Brutalious True that. This is my favorite album by these guys. Although the Discovery is a masterpiece as well. After that it's just a big meh.
No, there's a similarity between not enough breakdowns and nothing but breakdowns. That similarity is that both are the wrong amount.
+Brutalious i loved the fuck out of this album when it came out and i never understood why people bashed solely on the production quality. exist, the accountable, a higher place, elimination, live like im real are all 5/5 in my book
+Brutalious I think this album and the Discovery are both fantastic. Not of a fan of the stuff after though.
This is their heaviest album Imo, Discovery is overrated i reckon and the mix is kinda lifeless, Follow the signs, regenerate and Behold are the only good songs on that record.
Am I the only one coming back to this song and how the lyrics strangely fit today's situation in america...
If all I had to do is sell my soul to get this much skill and talent, I would have sold it in a minute.
its been so many years and I've finally found this song again, just as good as I remember 🤤
2019 & still blasting this 😤🔥
Same underrated gem this is.
2020 BABY
2022
How old is this jam? 2012? 10? My ass hurts I’m so old big papi is hard like a rock boy ready to pop boy camo khan ain’t got shit on me papito senorita
2023
Seriously I never understood why this BOO album was so over looked. Do they ever even play songs live off this album? It's actually a really solid album.
It’s not their first album and it doesn’t have that much of their distinct memery. As a reference Machine is their biggest song and that’s the style they started becoming known for.
Machine is their biggest song? People are missing out
Ah the good old days back in highschool where everything was good and I had no worries I miss it.
BOOs progression is really interesting to me. The earlier albums deal with conspiracies and sort of secrets of society. The later they deal with the human condition and ascension. I wonder where their head is at on all of this. I love it
RichieGoPro both topics are connected. specially since everything important comes from the fertile crescent. religions and secret societies included. that's what makes them so wise.
I AM THE STARTER OF INTERNET MEMES 0:46
Basically
epic
Lol
I forgot how exciting this was....damn
this era of them is still the best
Still the best BOO album, oh the nostalgia
"The Composure of my Soul is Harmonized by the sounds that travel into me" I love the ending it's sooo epic!
With this subgenre, it's the way that the odd timing and beat is all pulled together that makes it so awesome.. And while that doesn't necessarily make it better, it is hard to play.

*highschool
they are amazing! listen to divergency and exhilerate, you'll hear more than black metal
+jared wood
I have. Am absolutely hooked now!
they are absolutely my favorite band. they have a song for any occasion.
Agreed
why are we bashing production quality? this is great
+Jack Jackson Exactly!
Am I the only one that likes born of Osiris's new material as much as the old material
No soul sphere is good as fuck. Not a fan of a higher place and twda though
A higher place and soul sphere are my favs
I take back what I said up there. If you haven't listened to a higher place, give it a solid chance. I was brainwashed into thinking it was bad from all the hate. Twda will always suck though.
***** definitely, it was just the abuse of synth and chug
Everything they've made is great.
Still one of their best songs! Absolute heat
No clue why this album was so overlooked, I appreciate the dash of prog here and there and the commitment to a stronger song structure. Also while this mix sounds full and aggressive, it doesn't sound lifeless and overproduced.
during these few years all these bands never really overproduced their sht.
Sounds like a black metal album which is cool contrast
@@1cx7r23 it does, i love the grittyness of the profuction on this ep. for me , i like my guitars super rough opposed to baby smooth lol.
@@b0domski its a full length eh but yeah after a decade of polished guitars I'm getting bored of it too
Why the fuck is everyone hating on tomorrow we die alive? Divergency, illusionist, imaginary conditions, source field, vengeance... They're all fucking amazing songs. People are too damn critical about shit that doesn't sound exactly like the discovery.
Brandon Wilson I actually thought The Discovery was their worst album funnily enough. I'm surprised that seems to be the fan favorite.
+Brandon Wilson . I agree 100 percent its there best by far
+meth0d Well i have it like
1. The new reign
2. Soul sphere
3. TWDA
4. Discovery
5. A higher place
But i like them all tho and it's not like I consider a higher place a bad album but in comparison to their other work I feel like its maybe the weakest.

Their newest albums, the same 3 songs repeated different times.
Enough said.

something will happen, who knows what. keep faith and spread love
Even though I dislike most core related shit, Its kind of hard not to like this band. I think their the best core related band.
They're
I miss this type of music in todays modern metal bullshit
1:03 Black Metal?!?!?
Ethan Macleod i'm aware this is tech deathcore, but that specific part is basically black metal
sounds like dimmu borgir
I felt Dimmu w/ it
Zak Figueroa Naaa, Guinea pig metal..
Check the song "I am the black wizards" by Emperor xD
always coming back to this!
i totally dislike deathcore but I like this.
I see lots of people don't care about the lyrics XD
Read them and you will be more interested in this song x)
They're seeking gnostic/hermetic wisdom, aren't they?
Feras Tamimi dont read them hear them .#Metalheads
Any A Higher Place song > any tomorrow we die alive song
Tomorrow we die alive was still hella good,,, that says something
To be fair, Imaginary Condition was a fucking fantastic song
kangaroodude34 yup, it reminded me the great old stuff they made in A higher place. I wish all TWDA songswould have been similar to Imaginary Condition.

Its called Djent because of the almost metallic palm muting of the guitar. No other reason for it.

Maybe genres are a way for someone to google the genre and find another bullshit artist worse than the first.
I think the amount of subgenre names is stupid too
For awesome video editing, see 2:54
2023 ?
2024
I love this song and entire album. It always makes me feel as if I’m in another reality yet so familiar simply a higher place (consciousness) very mystical and beautiful...
back when mtv played real music
drummer looks like mcjuggernuggets
Not even lol.
VCdemon haha kinda
ahhhhhhh I rememver when this dropped and finding them out. I've been a fan since the first record. im not a fan of their new stuff at all :(
No one is. They lost their spark.
Frederick J. Valentine such a shame man. kicking Jason out ruined them lmfao
Frederick J. Valentine No one is? really? so they have zero fans? such a stupid thing to say. They have alot of original fans who are still fans today. Me being 1 of them.
i'm sure there are a lot of people who dig this style of music real hard, but my style lies more with the work they did with jason in the discovery
ooh i like the dynamics of 3:18 though
This band is awesome. Let open this pit.
nawadays ppl make fun of what they talked about, they tried to tell us but, unfortunately ppl are nothing but sheep and dont want to listen😐😑😑😑
Sadly yes
idek what they are talking about
sexy sexy sexy
Best part at 3:53
The composure of my soul is harmonized by the sounds that travel into me
::insert irrelevant opinion here::
I like Jay-john Derbyshires suggestion.
The composure of my soul is harmonized by the sounds that travel into me!
Their best work IMO
Going to see this tonight.... been wanting to see this band forever and finally i can witness this great music in action
this is my favorite born of osiris
The composure of my soul is harmonized by the sounds that travel into me.
beautiful tune..
Dude....wtf...greatest song ever
This song is perfect !
Melodic djentcore. I like the sound of that!
Arguably the best born song
He always does man, he always does,
That outro is a thing of beauty
I feel like this is the very essential Born of Osiris. After this album, they started to get carried away by their fan demands. Even with The Discovery, which is an amazing work.
this is their best album! i know all the songs are short but that is cool!
favorite song on this album . sick ass guitar
you are right!
This album is why ill never play guitar this good. The time signatures are beyond COMPLEX.
born of Osiris really hits me right in the feels!
this band is a prophet!
They should definitely play more of this album live; way sick.
Exactly friend!
The best lyrics ever!!!!!!! Everyone is waking up I love it. Keep your Third eye sharp. The Revolution is near
Ah yes... the good days.
It's magic.
I appreciate the straight metal approach
i love this song !! It gives me chills
i LOVE the keyboarder's voice.
the guitars are clearly the highlight of this album
What a nice way to start my morning. A cup of white coffee, and this video.
Best end of song ever
Yes.
This is such a great album, imo.
I agree!
Bought this album a few years ago at On Cue randomly because of the cover...oneof the best purchases ever
Me and my friend saw him behind stage before their set(Atlanta) and we called him and we spoke for a while and then he asked us to help him set up his drums on stage! then we talked to the rest of the band!! They're the coolest people ever!
Love this song a good artist they are
