"Angel Or Alien" on CD is a powerful modern metal release by Born Of Osiris, released under the established heavy-music label Sumerian. The album combines technical riffing, atmospheric synth layers and dynamic song structures, moving between aggressive breakdowns and melodic, almost cinematic passages. Lyrically, it circles around identity, spirituality and the tension between inner light and darkness - the "angel or alien" within. This makes it appealing both to fans of technically demanding metal and to listeners who appreciate emotional depth and thematic cohesion across an album.
Born Of Osiris are known for their blend of progressive metalcore, technical death metal influences and electronic sound design, often referred to as progressive or technical deathcore. Over the years, the band has built an international following through intensive touring, high-energy live performances and a series of well-received albums that helped shape the modern progressive metalcore sound. Their earlier releases established them as one of the key bands of the Sumerian roster, and "Angel Or Alien" continues this trajectory with a more mature songwriting approach and a pronounced sense of melody without sacrificing heaviness.
The production on this CD is polished and contemporary, giving each instrument clarity: tight, syncopated guitars and bass, precise drumming and versatile vocals that move from harsh screams to emotive clean singing. The electronic and ambient elements are woven into the arrangements rather than sitting on top, which gives the songs a futuristic and sometimes otherworldly character. As a physical CD release, "Angel Or Alien" is aimed at collectors and dedicated fans who value the tangible album experience with cover artwork and booklet as a complement to the music.
Sumerian is a label that has made a name for itself focusing on innovative, forward-thinking heavy music. Based in the United States, it has developed a reputation for promoting technically skilled, progressive and genre-bending artists in the metal, metalcore and alternative scenes. By working closely with its bands over multiple album cycles, Sumerian has helped acts like Born Of Osiris build sustainable careers and reach a global audience both digitally and through traditional physical formats such as CD and vinyl. The cooperation between Born Of Osiris and Sumerian on "Angel Or Alien" underlines the label's ongoing commitment to pushing modern heavy music beyond genre boundaries.
We get to hear guitarist Lee McKinney sing in his very first BOO song (Waves), Joes singing makes an appearance in the title track, Angel or Alien as well as Echobreather. It all gives this album a particularly unique sound, and along with the top-tier tones and mixing it all comes together to bring us an instant classic.
