Finishing up a momentous 2023, deathcore quartet Osiah have released their new album 'Kairos' via Unique Leader Records. Accompanying the release, the band shared their new track "The Inherited Sorrow" along with the official music video. 'Kairos' is Osiah's fourth album and the follow-up to their 2021 full-length, 'Loss'. When asked about today's news, the band commented:
"'Kairos' is a true departure from the past with a valiant stride to Osiah's progression. Instrumentally it encapsulates the very essence of us as musicians and lyrically it is inspired by a recent burying of the hatchet, and focusing instead on understanding the concept of mortality. It is fury-fueled, but intelligently constructed, resulting in a sound that is both old and new to fans of Osiah, a perfect introduction or concatenation for those who’ve been with us from the start of our onerous journey."

Hailing from the extreme music melting pot that is the northeast of England, Osiah transcends the deathcore label with what could possibly be the most torturous barrage of filth the UK has produced in recent years. Crushingly intense breakdowns and deathly chops tread a familiar path, but jarringly detuned guitars, unpredictable tempo changes and vocals that range from wide-ranging pitched screams to commanding guttural bowel openers add an extra evil to the sound that cannot be put into words.
After releasing their first EP 'Reborn Through Hate' in 2015, Osiah released their first full-length album ‘Terror Firma’ in June 2016 via Siege Music. The album gained praise from Metal Hammer Magazine, Bloody Disgusting, and many other prestigious publications, cementing the band as the hottest and heaviest band on the UK deathcore scene.
The resulting work lead to the band signing to Unique Leader Records in 2018 and releasing their sophomore album 'Kingdom of Lies' in 2019. In 2021, Osiah released their third album 'Loss' and unleashed their latest EP 'Chronos' in early 2023.
