A progressive rock band from Bahrain led by Mohammed (guitar) and Nabil Al-Sadeqi (drums). The music of Osiris mixes Anglo-Saxon progressive influences (Camel, Genesis, Jethro Tull) with Arabic music, notably the interplay of percussion lines and succeeds in being a genuine musical osmosis between two cultures. During their first era the band released three albums, "Osiris", 1982 , "Myth & Legend" in 1984 and "Reflections" in 1989. In 1991 Osiris releases their first and only live album "Beyond Control Live" and surprisingly in 2007 they release a conceptual album called "Visions from the Past" which is more oriented towards a blend of Bahraini music and Rock.

Comparisons to Camel, Eloy, Clepsybra and Tempus Fugit abound, all we ask is give this music a listen - you wont be disappointed.
Osiris The Rebirth is the brainchild of veteran space-rocker Dave Adams. He started the project under the moniker Osiris in 1987, which went in hibernation though one year later. Twenty years later, while playing bass with Hawkwind tribute band Assassins Of Silence, Dave had the idea of forming a band to resurrect some of the old songs and push the idea forward. He initially joined forces with guitarist/producer Milo Black, and the duo began reworking some of the more promising old Osiris stuff. New songs also quickly began to take shape, and the music began to evolve, taking a more progressive rock direction while retaining the space rock elements…
