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 in words.
After releasing their first full-length, Terror Firma, in 2016 via Siege Music, the album gained praises from Metal Hammer, Bloody Disgusting and many other prestigious publications, cementing the band as the hottest and heaviest band on the UK deathcore scene. Osiah then signed to Unique Leader Records in 2018, releasing subsequent albums Kingdom of Lies (2019) and Loss (2021), which showcased their evolving sound, combining technicality with emotional depth.
Their latest full-length – Kairos – was released in 2023, with media hailing the record as “masterfully executed” (Distorted Sound) and “one of the strongest releases of 2023” (Everything Is Noise). For a preview, the official album videos can be viewed below:
