Osiris The Rebirth (space rock, prog rock / UK)

Biography:

Osiris The Rebirth is the brainchild of veteran space-rocker Dave Adams.

In 2007, while Dave was playing bass with reknowned Hawkwind tribute band Assassins of Silence, but looking for more musical outlets, he had the thought of resurrecting one of his early bands, Osiris.

The original Osiris blueprint was anchored in the space-rock genre, with some prog tendencies (think Warrior-era Hawkwind)… so Dave’s first stop was fellow Assassins founder-member Milo Black, another veteran of the music wars with a 20-year recording pedigree. The duo began reworking some of the more promising old Osiris songs, and new songs also quickly began to take shape.

Dave was keen to keep the Osiris name… as were all the other bands in the world called Osiris… the name Osiris The Rebirth not only gave a nod to the 1987 version of Osiris, but also referenced Egyptian mythology in an appropriate manner. After some experimentation with additional personnel, it became clear that the duo were all-but self-sufficient as a recording unit, and the band settled as a collective, with Dave and Milo as core members and guest contributions from other artists, to add colour and variety.
