Tomorrow We Die Alive is the third release from the progressive deathcore band Born of Osiris. It was first released on 8/20/2013, through Sumerian records. Tomorrow We Die Alive is the first album to be published since the departure of their lead guitarist, Jason Richardson, leaving them with only one remaining guitarist, Lee Mckinney. Due to the huge success of their previous album, The Discovery, there were a lot of hype and hopes for this upcoming album, and fans were excited but nervous to audition the BoO without Richardson. I believe Tomorrow We Die Alive is a solid release by Born of Osiris with a lot of great moments, but The Discovery is still a better album overall.

Tomorrow We Die Alive is a decent release, and a good addition to the discography of Born of Osiris, containing the various progressive elements shown in The Discovery that Born of Osiris fans know and love. After listening to the album a few times, I feel like BoO has lost some melodic and technical aspects of their music, especially in the guitar department, compared to The Discovery or even A Higher Place. A lot of straight up chugging is heard throughout the entire album, and there were only brief moments of solos, sweeps, or riffing. Many songs get boring and mundane as a result of the constant chugging, and the loss of Jason can definitely be felt. With that said, times when the lead guitar are at work are still very well done, especially on songs like “Machine”, “Absolution”, and “Vengeance”. Overall, I just wished that the guitar was a bit more melodic and technical, instead of just the constant chugging that we hear. Production work on this album is brilliant, as the electronic, keyboards, and synth give off the progressive metal vibe just like in The Discovery. They are very well carried out throughout almost all of the songs, and never sound out of place. “Mindful” is a terrific example, especially when the synth is layered over the chugging of the guitar. Some orchestra work is also implemented in tracks such as “Machine”, “Illusionist”, and “Vengeance”, and they flow very well with the track and enhance the tracks to make them sound a bit more progressive. Ronnie’s lead vocals are intense and energetic throughout the entire album; nothing extraordinary but solid work nonetheless. I think that Joe’s backing vocals on “Divergency” and” Exhilarate” sound great, and I wish that they had more moments to shine on the album. They remind me a bit of Chester from Linkin Park in “Exhilarate,” and they complement the overall flow of the track very well. My favorite tracks off Tomorrow We Die Alive are “Machine”, “Mindful”, “Exhilarate”, “Absolution”, “Illusionist”, and “Vengeance”. “Vengeance” is an epic closing track, consisting of the best guitar work in the entire album. The solo in this song is a great way to end the album, and definitely one worthy of checking out.

You may take the tablet up to 4 prior sexual movements. viagra online delivery Lyrical work on this album is pretty standard of BoO lyrics, talking about being aware of the unknown, interactions with the supernatural, abstract concepts about the Earth, etc. The idea of a “machine” is integrated into many of the tracks, but I still haven’t quite figured out what it is supposed to stand for. If any of you readers know, please leave a comment down below! Just like typical Born of Osiris lyrics, they contain a myriad of underlying themes and meanings that require some critical thinking and exploration to understand. I enjoy these lyrics very much, but I haven’t had too much time to explore and delve into their deeper meaning yet.

Although a solid release, The Discovery is no doubt the better record overall. Guitar work on The Discovery is more technical and melodic with the presence of Jason Richardson, and some of the solos and riffing on that release make the ones on Tomorrow We Die Alive sound mediocre. There are also more standout tracks on The Discovery than on Tomorrow We Die Alive, such as “Recreate”, “Devastate”, and “Follow the Signs”. Even though Tomorrow We Die Alive does not top The Discovery, I still encourage all fans of metal to check out this record, especially if you’re into progressive metal, djent, or deathcore. It might not break any boundaries or blow your mind, but it is still a decent release nonetheless. You wouldn’t want to miss this if you are a BoO fan.
