In the spring of 2025, dreams of a large part of Lithuanian fans of heavy music will come true: the American modern progressive metal band Born of Osiris will perform in Lithuania for the first time. The band's European tour, which will include three other bands - Ingested, Entheos and The Voynich Code - is scheduled to make one of its stops in Vilnius' Vakaris club on 11 May.
The members of Born of Osiris, which has been around since 2003, say it has always been important for them to find like-minded people who are willing to share their ideas and promote them. It's a really difficult process, so the line-up has changed frequently. "We've all been playing since we were young," the musicians say. "Local bands play in each other's basements at weekends. In high school, a lot of bands broke up, but we were lucky enough to find the best members - people who wanted to do it full force. In a way, the most talented people were left - it was just a matter of finding the right people."
All of the ingredients for Born of Osiris are right and appropriate for the music they make: inhuman vocals, technically dazzling rhythms, fairly complex rhythm sections and epic melodies. But they don't stand still, there is an organic evolution and gradual progression that takes the band from a small suburb of Chicago to a higher level with each new album.

British death metal titans Ingested have been making knocking anti-hymns for over a decade and a half, and have released a string of albums that have helped shape the genre. If you're really into heavy and extreme music, it's almost impossible not to find something you like in their music. The main elements of Ingested's work are stunning riffs, ultra-fast drumming and propulsive vocals, but there are also some atmospheric, otherworldly moments and some raw, old-school death metal aggression in their music. They break into your souls, rip through you and roll around sweeping away everything in their path.
