Osiris Rising band biography

Summary
Osiris Rising was an independent alternative metal band from Fort Lauderdale, FL U.S. The band was formed in 2002 by guitar player Joseph Robert Arthur, drummer/vocalist Brian Vorisek, and Peruvian born vocalist/guitar player Michael Ibarra. Joe’s brother, Paul Arthur joined the band in 2003 as the bass player. The band members blended hard rock and metal styles drawing inspiration from their influences based in gothic metal, doom metal, progressive rock, early 70’s heavy rock and 90’s grunge.

Osiris Rising was notorious for their volatile, often alcohol fueled performances and unpredictable live sets. Those performances helped Osiris Rising gain the attention of the Broward/Palm Beach press and gathered a diverse listener base. Despite an opportunity with Drive Thru Records early in 2004, the band decided to operate under their own indie label and began recording their debut studio album ‘Diluting The Gene Pool’ in October 2004. The album was released in July 2005 and was distributed by CD Baby.

The band eventually began pursuing a contract with Atlantic Records late in 2005; however 23 year old lead guitar player and songwriter Joseph Robert Arthur died in a car accident on January 22nd, 2006 ending the band's four year existence. Unexpectedly, their debut album received international airplay later in 2006 on college radio, internet radio, PODcasts and most notably on Radio Belgrade 202 in Serbia and Radio Free Iraq.

To date, Osiris Rising remains a moment in time, a fitting tribute to Joe Arthur. A talented young guitar player and songwriter whose life was lost far too early.
