Interview withJoe Buras (keyboards, vocals) and Lee McKinney (guitarist) of Born Of Osiris
Lee and Joe of BORN OF OSIRIS spoke to me talking about the current tour, what to expect from the band in the New Year. Also who they’ve spent the most time with while being out on the road along with everything else thrown in-between!
Reflections of Darkness (RoD): First of all, would you introduce yourself to our readers and tell what you do in BORN OF OSIRIS and how long the band has been together?
Lee: I play guitar and the band has been around for 3 years now.
Joe: I play keyboards and vocals. I met Lee back in the day and we’ve known each other for many years now.
RoD: BORN OF OSIRIS are currently on tour with HATEBREED, CANNIBAL CORPSE and UNEARTH. How has the tour been going so far?
Lee: We love each other with every single tour we do. We have a house together so everything is working out great.
Joe: We’re throwing down more this tour. We’ve pretty much toured with most of these acts before, like UNEARTH, HATEBREED, WHITECHAPEL, etc so this time we’re giving it our all.
RoD: What do you want your fans to say after listening to ‘A Higher Place’?
Lee: It’s a growth from our last album. We have our own point of view from everything in life.
Joe: We want the people to expect the unexpected when it comes to the music we create.
RoD: Have you ever had a bad interview experience with a journalist?
Lee: Oh yes.
Joe: We’ve had our interviews taken down at times. Or just straight out rude and people get the wrong idea when we’re drunk sometimes when doing the interviews.
RoD: Who do you think you spent the most time with while being on this tour?
Lee: We all have accounts for the World of Warcraft video game so we play that a lot with CANNIBAL CORPSE.
Joe: I would say Hate Eternal because they go on right before us so they are our buddies.
RoD: Do you have any plans for the remainder of this year, and what should we expect from you to come next year?
Lee: Well, I think we’re doing another headlining tour.
Joe: All the bands we’ve played with we’ve been stepping it up quite a bit.
Lee: After this we’ll go home make a new album in January/February/March, so watch out for that to come next year along with more touring of course.
RoD: Any final words of wisdom?
Joe: Whitechapel rocks!
Lee: Check out our recent album ‘A Higher Place’ and watch out for us in the New Year. We’ll have new material, new tours, new everything.
