BORN OF OSIRIS Splits With Guitarist LEE MCKINNEY

Born Of Osiris has parted ways with longtime guitarist Lee McKinney. McKinney joined Born Of Osiris in 2008 – one year after they changed their name from Rosecrance. McKinney has played on every single Born Of Osiris record and has not issued a statement on why he's out of the band. Born Of Osiris notes they've recruited Scott Carstairs (Fallujah) as their fill-in guitarist, and will not be cancelling any shows.

"To our BOO CREW family around the world, we have some news to share with you: Lee McKinney and Born of Osiris are parting ways," wrote Born Of Osiris regarding their split with McKinney. "We wish him the best with his future endeavors. None of our upcoming plans will change:

• Our new album, Through Shadows will come out on July 11th
• We will continue the European headline tour that we are on right now; we will not cancel any shows
• For our upcoming Canadian tour in June/July, Scott Carstairs from Entheos/Fallujah will be filling in on guitar

"We will soon be announcing more details regarding the future guitar player of Born of Osiris."
