Great video! Fun tip - Their drummer, Cameron Losch, wrote the entirety of the album The New Reign when he was around the age of 15... Cameron is an amazing musician!

[@rodiaz6652]

Cameron is an absolute beast, it's crazy how young they all were when they started making such good music

[@claytonwyatt9780]

He did the same for A Higher Place

[@narvaezmorales3394]

Cameron is what I like about BOO is solo project is like The Discovery part 2, I love it

[@stradalentb]

wow

[@BigUpsToARealOne]

The Discovery came at such a pivotal time of my life. 10/10 album

[@lostboyfeelsnothing4839]

2010's sumerian was untouchable....BOO, Veil of Maya, after the burial, ABACABB, structures, the faceless, upon a burning body , periphery, betraying the martyrs, conducting from the grave, sea of treachery,ERRA.... i know im missing a bunch but they were staaacked with bands

[@xtheyan]

100% 🤘🏻

[@danieldavidson5447]

For sure!! I'm not sure I like the direction the label is going but that was definitely their peak 🤘

[@ianhastings951]

I would LOVE to see a video just on Jason Richardson. From ASP, to BOO, to CG, to doing his solo gig, now in all that remains. That would be a fun one to watch! Again tho, killer video!

[@xtheyan]

That's a cool idea 🤘🏻🔥

[@MySpaceDxC_Suffo_AtTheGates]

Dude you are just on fire with your band selections. You are my fav content creator! 🖤

[@xtheyan]

Thank you so much man , means a lot 🤘🏻🔥

[@ShrimpTechStocks]

You're absolutely "scratching an itch" If you will...

[@astralnewton]

I had the pleasure of opening for BOO when they were touring after the release of the new reign along with Winds of Plague. These guys absolutely slaughtered the venue. Ahhh, memories.

[@CharmanderThug]

First album are just one of those timeless albums I can listen first track to end and not skip any damn song. Masterpiece

[@tyler_vokillz8284]

I’m happy you are doing the full story of the band, not just myspace era. For a band like Born of Osiris who are still going strong today it doesn’t seem right to cut their story in half.

[@xtheyan]

Yes I think I'll always do complete history now 🤘🏻🔥

[@josuesamaniego182]

I lost my hearing at 13 years old seeing them on tour in 2012 w/ Unearth! I stood next to two giant JBL speakers like a jackass. Thanksgiving was the next day and I couldn’t hear until 3 days later! 😂 The Discovery will always be my favorite album from them!

[@xtheyan]

haha thanks for sharing the story!! 🤘🏻

[@johntorres532]

Similar experience but with whitechapel lol

[@daviddr115111]

Brace legs was my ring tone back when you could make your own ring tones. Around the 1 min mark of brace legs. That synth breakdown was so sick and still is.

[@aaronmccann4431]

IM SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS CHANNEL. ITS SO RARE TO FIND OTHER FOLKS WHO LIKE THE EXACT SAME BANDS. PLEASE DO AN AFTER THE BURIAL VIDEO AT SOME POINT

[@StzaCrizzack]

i like this new longer format where you go in detail about a band's history leading up to what they are up to now, because alot of times people hadnt kept up with the band in years

[@xtheyan]

good to know thanks 🤘🏻🔥

[@douggroulx1525]

Sick dude! You my friend have very awesome and unique content! The early to mid 2000s was such an incredible and inspiring time for me musically.Thank you for this man \,,/

[@xtheyan]

Thank YOU for the support my guy 🤘🏻🔥

[@TrevorGray4758]

The New Reign got me through SF Training. I listened to that Album every day.

[@OutgrownThings]

That first demo was rough lmao. The second, after the first name change, slapped. Def made the right stylistic change

[@natalieg.3272]

Great video! More than 10 years listening to this band. I’ve loved every single album. Thank you for covering their history. It’s awesome remembering all of it, the studio updates and live shows. It was so cool to see their beginnings and how far they’ve gone and also us, the fans with them. Its been a trajectory. BOO is incredible and the best soundtrack of a big part of my life. ❤️‍🔥🎸🥁🎹🎧🎶

[@xtheyan]

Thank you so much !! Yes they truly are incredible and deserve a lot of credit for their accomplishments 🤘🏻🔥

[@Yourmomgoestocollege87]

You just keep cranking out gold! Love this channel! Good bands. Good points. Honest info. The historian we didn’t know we needed but can’t live without

[@xtheyan]

Hey thanks a lot !! Never saw myself as an historian but I really appreciate and I'll do my best to keep doing good quality content 🤘🏻🔥

[@bread_durst]

These videos have easily become some of my favorites on KZbin. Thank you so much for the entertainment homie. I've always appreciated these bands you've covered, and I think that it's really cool that some people are probably going to discover or even re-discover these bands thanks to these videos. This new format where you focus on the entire history is much appreciated. You've got a special thing here and I look forward to the next upload!

[@xtheyan]

Thank you so much for the kind words 🤘🏻🔥

[@WHOREHOUSEFR]

Awesome band, Lee is a very nice dude. I love the fact that you're covering the entire story of the band, it's super complete

[@DanielJTeichroew]

Got tickets to see them on friday with upon a burning body, cant wait!

[@ThyHarvesting]

Still remember how hyped I was when both The Discovery and Tomorrow We Die Alive were first released, good ol' Sumeriancore days 🙏 BoO still be one of my fav Prog Deathcore/Metalcore bands around, their synthwork and orchestral elements were always amazing and a big influence even to my own attempts at music. And needless to say, they've always been amazing live and I can attest to that after seeing them more than 3 times over the past decade 👌🔥

[@Dooms4y3r]

I enjoy the whole history of the bands. When it ends after the myspace lore, it always feels like a show that just ended on a huge cliffhanger. Keep up the good work. Very underrated channel.

[@xtheyan]

Yes I feel the same way !! Thanks man 🤘🏻🔥

[@SkyweaverFPV]

One of my favorite bands of all time. Seen then live 8 times now I think. Been listening to them for 15 plus years. Which is crazy. Seeing them live now is still so incredible. Thanks for thr vid man. Good job.

[@Fr8train003]

Been listening to BOO for about 6 years now. My friend who was into all forms of metal, mainly metalcore, deathcore, prog, Djent, pop punk, heavy, black etc... showed me BOO and Animals as Leaders. As someone who was stuck on acoustic fingerstyle/percussive fingerstyle (that was the wave at the time) I was Instantly hooked on BOO Machine and other heavier forms of metal. Prior, I was unable to get into screaming because of my dad (who hated screaming classic), but I quickly grew into heavier music with screaming once I gained influence from someone other than my boomer father. I even started to really enjoy Good Tiger, to this day I still play Good Tiger "Where are the Birds" and other similar bands like Dance Gavin Dance. I still use DGD to indoctrinate people into heavier music to this day. These bands along with other Myspace core bands scratched my itch for heavy music. I am now a huge fan of the aforementioned bands, obviously including Born of Osiris, and including Animals as Leaders, Tesseract, August Burns Red, Cloudkicker, Mastodon, Pelican, Plini, Rivers of Nihil, Tool, Dream Theater, Gojira, King Krimson. Man I could name so many more, but my friend really opened up a lot of bands to me, bands I would've never heard about if I never accepted anything out of the rock n roll "norm" at the time. That being said, I still love Alter Bridge, which is just Creed with a better singer/headman. They've been a thing for almost 20 years. Funny enough Creed is making a comeback for 1 tour this summer and I have tickets. What is my taste in music lmaooo?

[@mikey_noir]

YES! Dude I love your fucking channel. Easily one of my favorite youtubers as of late.

[@xtheyan]

Thank you man ! Means a lot 🤘🏻

[@Colby_Purrins801]

So sad that Joe is no longer with them 😭 I’ve loved BOO since the New Reign. I’ll never forget buying that album in Best Buy and my brain exploded in the best ways possible. Every album is so awesome and seeing how much they’ve progressed is so badass. Cameron is one of my favorite drummers. Dude is FLAWLESS behind a set.

[@stradalentb]

thank you !!! born of osiris is my favorite band! i hace 30 years old.. i love born of osiris. i am from Panama!

[@kevinlibby681]

I’ve been following BOO since early 2000’s. Our band used to practice down the hall from VOM. I loved their music and respected them as musicians. BOO is my favorite band. It’s cool they’re from my home town.

[@ibanezrg7421]

I miss hitting Rosecrance and Veil of Maya shows back in high school. It's insane to see where they ended up.

[@matthewpunk2012]

hell yeah, veil of maya

[@OCEANO6400]

Nice first live footage is at the Waterfront in Holyoke, MA!! WMHC!

[@bymyenemy]

Been waiting for this one! Now you gotta do Veil Of Maya! Totally on board with hearing the whole bands story. Just covering MySpace era is limiting for a lot of bands, just so much more to talk about. Some suggestions for bands to cover: knights of the abyss, The Faceless, Beneath the massacre, infant annihilator, whitechapel, all shall perish, annotations of an autopsy and a video on myspace cybergrind would be cool too. Love what you’re doing! Keep the videos coming!

[@xtheyan]

Thank you for the kind words !! And you've got great suggestions 🤘🏻🔥

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

I was just going to tell him Veil Of Maya and The Faceless too!!

[@jeredubz24]

Man totally forgot about Knights …holy shot thanks

[@outofmind9222]

Great video. The discovery is their best imo. One of my favorite albums. Oh and nice shirt dude. 🤘

[@buzz_cooksey]

One band that never gets old! Loving all these videos a lot, I think the direction you're going with them is great expanding into their later years!

[@EverMeza]

You brought me back to those times! ty my friend

[@xtheyan]

🤘🏻🔥

[@ObscureMetal]

Thank you for the including the stream I uploaded of that Youm Wara Youm demo, you’re a legend. Makes me wanna upload more stuff again.

[@xtheyan]

YOU'RE the legend man haha thanks for being part of the video 🤘🏻🔥

[@ericburgmeier1100]

BOO was and is truly revolutionary to the sound of metal today. They don't nearly get the recognition they deserve and a higher place felt overlooked and it was every bit as good as the discovery. I didn't care much for soul sphere or TWDA outside a few songs, but they've really been killing it these last couple of albums.

[@matthewpunk2012]

The Simulation is crazy good.

[@ericburgmeier1100]

Indeed, I didn't mean to leave that one out on purpose. Loved that one as well.@@matthewpunk2012

[@Terminatedd]

The mixing & mastering in the New Reign is probably the best I've ever heard. I just wish they kept that sound :(

[@rjanpaulsen503]

Very cool video! All the best from Norway🤘

[@xtheyan]

Thank you !! 🤘🏻🔥

[@askendathbeast7383]

All Born of Osiris albums are brutal but The Discovery is #1 for me

[@Richardleerodriguez]

I came back to share a few memories of the band. First big memory I remember is when they were playing and all of a sudden the bass drum blew off! Had to stop everything to put it on and tune it. Last time I saw them I was excited for abstract art, so much I popped my shoulder and couldn’t do anything after that 😂

[@rodiaz6652]

Sick video, loved both the subject and the format/delivery! Definitely subbing and watching more of your stuff

[@lucy-zj6hd]

i've been waiting for this video and i can tell that it was so worth it

[@xtheyan]

Thanks 😈🤘🏻🔥

[@endgamesbeats]

Great content bro!! Loved so many of these bands..!!

[@nathankaganac293]

Continue with the full history of the bands. Also awesome video I've seen Born of Osiris live a few times and the are amazing!🤘

[@joshzzygaming]

Wait you only have about 3k subs lol bro you're so good at this you'll blow up in no time at all

[@churroinyomouf]

Do one with Within The Ruins. Great work friend! This was outstanding can't wait for the next one.

[@xtheyan]

Good suggestion and thank you for the kind words 🤘🏻🔥

[@Prompefis]

on board with this! great job man. thanks

[@theopv2095]

Another amazing video, winds of plague has to be on you list of upcoming videos

[@xtheyan]

thanks man !! And they are 🤘🏻🔥

[@ShrimpTechStocks]

I love your look and energy bro. Content is sick sickly

[@lou_gubrious]

love the long format vids keep these coming the longer the better

[@xtheyan]

I'll do my best !! Always depends on the band story 🤘🏻

[@brettbarreras48]

One of my all time fav bands. When boo and veil of maya came out it was such a different and unique sound. Took over my life for a while after that lol

[@posthardcoresounds6268]

You're quickly becoming one of my favourite KZbin creators, man! Keep it up! These videos are so nostalgic :)

[@xtheyan]

wow thanks man, I appreciate 🤘🏻

[@grimeyshred]

Sick video. Loved boo since the new reign. Finally saw them last year. It would be cool to see a vid on sea of treachery!

[@xtheyan]

Thanks man ! And I love SOT I'll do a video about them for sure 🤘🏻

[@alexandrelinsdossantos5604]

Great video!

[@polskibot1494]

i have to say i really like your videos they are nice to listen to ive watched every video on this channel and to be honest most of the bands i didnt really listened to but after your videos i always check them out to hear some nice music

[@xtheyan]

That's so cool !! Thank you, really means a lot.. I'm glad you could discover these amazing bands through my videos 🤘🏻

[@Hardley_Normal]

Bro your videos legit are the best going your so on point with the era I grew up loving and miss heaps 👊👊🖤🖤

[@xtheyan]

Thank you so much man ! I'm working hard on my content and I'm so glad people enjoy watching it as much as I enjoy doing it 🤘🏻🔥

[@Jmack7861]

Always a good day when one of these videos drops

[@xtheyan]

🤘🏻🔥

[@uwaisalqarni2653]

Empire erased will be my all time fav from The New Reign EP, but honestly there 0 bad songs in there!

[@jurisburkans9103]

Your videos are so good, I can't wait for new one. Tell us more those band storries, not only MySpace era. Greetings form Latvia! 🇱🇻

[@xtheyan]

Thank you! Will do! 😈🤘🏻🔥

[@glasscolors8006]

Man, I’m gonna hit that subscribe button, your videos are like a Time Machine for me. Of course they were into rap, Chicago is a hub of sorts for hip hop (most notably drill music). But that glass bluntz track which later became Exist off of their second album was absolutely fire back in the day. Even still, it’s imo better than the actual track on the album.

[@nickdetsch3416]

Saw your sub count and was like wtf... My man you are on your way up if you keep steering the course. Good look and good mojo with your channel, you deserve it

[@HeavensArcherOFFICIAL]

Some bands I would recommend doing videos on is: Winds of Plague Despised Icon The Faceless Nile Within The Ruins Of Mice & Men Keep up this awesome content. There's a lot of thing's I've learned about these bands from you ^^

[@xtheyan]

Thank you so much ! And they're all on the list 🤘🏻🔥

[@MaddoggTrading]

xTheYan, youve got a new fan. Great review of OOO! I just wanted to hear some of their music tonight, and ended up watching your whole video instead. Keep these coming!

[@xtheyan]

Hey thank you very much !! I’m glad you enjoyed 🤘🏻🔥

[@dale5303]

Awesome video! Legendary band forsure!

[@xtheyan]

Thank you ! And yes they are

[@coolsince4ever]

I lost a bet and listened to BOO for a week non stop, was best week of my entire life so far

[@rockerbob949]

Good stuff. I just remember they were in high school when Sumerian offered them a deal. Can’t wait for the Veil of Maya video!

[@xtheyan]

😈🤘🏻🔥

[@oldzoulart]

Born of Osiris, veil of maya, and after the burial form the holy Trinity of what I consider quintessential sumeriancore. Sumerian signs artists now that I’m certain are to generate engagement on social media from angry 30-something-year-old dudes but back when I was in high school they were absolutely goated.

[@CTmemphismayfireguy]

im really in to rock and metal and metalcore as well good video yan awesome video man nice job man.

[@DavidAllenMD]

Coffee cig and that sick ass angelmaker shirt. Blow this channel up you deserve it

[@xtheyan]

haha thanks man !! 😈🤘🏻🔥

[@keircampbell443]

Absolutely love your videos man! I gotta say though, you missed some crucially important stuff with the departure of Jason Richardson. I’m sure you don’t want to get into the politics of bands but ‘The Discovery’ is arguably where the band peaked and that sound departed when jason departed. Don’t be afraid to delve into this stuff if it’s an an important part of a bands history, it helps gives context! Keep up what you’re doing man, you’re doing a fantastic job. Looking forward to the VoM video and many more!

[@xtheyan]

Thanks man and you're right !! I just figured this video was already kind of long haha but it is for sure an important chapter 🤘🏻

[@angelbaitgames5427]

Mother of peal... 2003!? It would be a whole 13ish years before I saw them open for somebody I can no longer remember because I fell in love with the "Soul Sphere" era so hard.

[@SpokenFlesh]

not to mention Cameron's solo project UNSOLICITED that sounds even more insane

[@BadJokesBrian]

He’s gearing up for a third too. Love his stuff, and even greater person too

[@TheAntarcticaProject]

Nice video dude!

[@ItsFinigan]

Can't wait to watch this and relive all their glory!!! Myscape era 5eva XxHELLYEAHxX

[@rubenarends124]

re amping makes those tones back then sound phenomenal

[@KyleCameraAllDay1]

I'd say keep doing the whole band story I think it's cool to see how Bands grew from MySpace to newer platforms

[@wtf1992alex]

Great video as always dude! I didnt know the past names of the band, Only the crabcore one 😂 Btw the Angel or Alien álbum to me personaly is the perfect fusion of all the BOO eras in one, the Technicaly from the first albums, the etherium/space ambient's, the D3jnty gr00ve newest sound and a Little metalcores coros. Is a Master piece of an album!

[@xtheyan]

Thanks man 🤘🏻🔥 And great perspective on Angel Or Alien

[@connorchops710]

You need to do a misha mansoor and periphery documentary that would be badass but I’m stoked to see your veil of maya video they are so underrated

[@drummerTBM]

BOO is at the very top of musicians and their incredible talent. I hope they’re talked about as legends until the end of time.

[@mitchcutrole5038]

Man am i glad i found your channel

[@xtheyan]

Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed 🤘🏻🔥

[@notaacreativehandle]

cool bands, chill vibe, earned a sub my dude

[@xtheyan]

Thank you !! Glad you enjoyed watching 🤘🏻

[@__belial__]

Man I grew up in Chicago when this and oceano was coming together. Mind blowing time to be alive

[@mattynes]

I feel like you skipped some pretty major stuff in terms of personnel changes, internal struggles in the band, drug use, and the conscious decision to stop having traditional breakdowns. Still, really enjoy the content man

[@pi3rceth3veil]

love ur videos sm u slay ily

[@xtheyan]

😈🤘🏻🔥

[@FupaTroopa69]

I was at that ace of spades show in 2010! Wild! Like a week before the discovery was released

[@xtheyan]

Must have been amazing ! 🤘🏻🔥

[@salknight30]

Exhilarate Empire erased Abstrack art That's my fav song all time

[@StealerChart]

Great video! You should do a video on erra at some point.

[@xtheyan]

Thank you ! Yes , I thought about it 🤘🏻🔥

[@JesseGMan7]

These dudes were and still are sick. Good shit man.

[@xtheyan]

😈🔥🤘🏻

[@Rob_Cary]

One of my old bands got an opening spot for the thrash and burn tour in my area and BOOs bus broke down. It was a bummer but there were SO many quality bands on that tour. The new reign is legendary.

[@ryancurfman]

I remember seeing BOO live in Philly on the all stars tour in 2011(?) shortly after The Discovery came out (Jason still had long hair - thanks for the clips it really brought back memories). It was hands down the best show of my life. Nearly fainted from going so hard at that show. To think of what BOO would’ve been if Jason continued to be with the band. Still love them to this day regardless.

[@xtheyan]

Yes !! Jason is an amazing artist, and BOO are killing it 🤘🏻

[@jordanweir4867]

Absolutely loving your videos, legend! So nostalgic! Thank you ❤ 🔥 Do you rate Jason Richardson’s departure changed up the music/song structure a bit? You can definitely hear his impact when he joined Chelsea Grin for a bit too. And when he left, there was definitely a change/lack of something or style. Not in a bad sense at all. He’s just got a unique/signature sound that you can physically hear when he’s in a band or not.

[@xtheyan]

Yes , I mean I think he's an amazing artist 🎸🔥

[@diptamoikakati1806]

having jason is just like a cheatcode..crazy guitar virtuoso and a crazy composer too....comesup with real nice keys parts too buried in the mix!!

[@eltar91]

Lee is struggling to play Jason’s solos to this day xD

[@scottellis6438]

I was at damn near every show that they did in Orlando Fl around this time and I just saw them recently in Orlando it was so good to revisit them in a live setting. I will say this the mosh pits now days are weak I’m 33 and I was shocked how little movement there is now days. When I was 18-21 moshing was like a damn sport to us we took it serious and it was basically our form of dance

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

Thanxs, I asked for this, and you covered it.. I don't know if you were going to cover it anyways, but still 😅.. Great video too.. been a fan of them since A Higher Place.. Can you do one also for After The Burial next, if possible?

[@xtheyan]

They're on the list !! Thanks for watching 🤘🏻🔥

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

@@xtheyan Awesome, thanxs!

[@raynarzary]

Follow the Signs and Recreate are my fav. Miss Jason in this Band.

[@evelyneverlasting9038]

A higher place my favorite album

[@dealurs]

Again, amazing video. Would you consider doing On Broken Wings?

[@xtheyan]

Thank you !! Don't know this one I think

[@sogflesh4030]

Great video dude! Any chance you'll cover those proto-deathcore bands like Antagony or The Red Chord?

[@matthewpunk2012]

hell yeah, the red chord

[@juanfranco84]

I used to work for Mediaskare records during 2007 and I witnessed all these guys getting signed by Sumerian records I designed tons of tees for Boo and Veil and lots of Sumerian bands during that era.

[@xtheyan]

Must have been an amazing experience 🤘🏻

[@juanfranco84]

I am so happy I found this channel. You are literally making content of music of my youth. Brought me so many memories. I have stories for days

[@jeanlamarche8689]

Love born of osiris . great band :)

[@Kyle4OH8]

I seen them at a roller rink in san jose ca i forget what year but man take me back
