After much contemplation and soul-searching, I have made the difficult decision to resign from Born of Osiris. This choice didn’t come lightly, as being a part of this band has been an incredible journey filled with unforgettable memories and experiences.
However, as life progresses, so do our personal paths and aspirations. I believe it’s time for me to explore new opportunities and avenues for growth both personally and professionally. This decision was not made hastily, but rather with careful consideration and respect for the band and its future endeavours.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who has supported me and the band throughout the years. Your unwavering passion and dedication have meant the world to me, and I am forever grateful for the love you have shown us.
To my bandmates, thank you for being incredible collaborators and friends. The bond we’ve formed through music is something I will always cherish, and I wish you nothing but continued success and fulfillment in your future endeavors.
While this may mark the end of my chapter with Born of Osiris, I am excited about what the future holds and the new opportunities that await. Thank you again for your endless support, and I hope our paths will cross again in the future.
With deepest gratitude,
Joe Buras“
