There are at least 8 bands named Osiris: 1) 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. 2) A progressive thrash band with some technical flair, with early Watchtower and Queensrÿche influences noted on occasion. The band faded away after the one album. 3) A good-time rock 'n' roll band out of Salt Lake City, UT. 4) Danish Protest Rock band from the hippie era, who wrote the anthem for the Christiania Freestate within Copenhagen. 5) An old band from Columbus, Ohio 6) A Dutch hardcore artist named Osiris a.k.a. Maurice Daniluk. Hardcore producer and DJ from the East of Holland. Resident DJ at the 'Oldschool Madness' parties 7) A funk band from Washington D.C. The group consisted of Osiris Marsh on lead vocals, Tony Jones and Tyrone "Ty" Brunson on bass guitars (having two was intended to add extra funk to their sound), Maceo Bond on keyboards, Ron Holloway on tenor saxophone, Brent Mingle on guitar and Jimmy "Sha-Sha" Stapleton on percussion. With influences ranging from Parliament/Funkadelic, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and Sly and the Family Stone, Osiris was interested in the culture of ancient Egypt (hence the name) and the roots of African Americans altogether. 8) There was also a band in the mid 1980's from St. Petersburg, Fl. with the name 'Osiris'. They played a mix of hard, progressive, thrash-skater style of music -true "mosh-pit" stuff! There front man was a guy named 'Evil Don'. Song titles like "Very-Scary-Mortuary" and a cover of "S.O.D.s" (Stormtroopers of Death) "A.I.D.S." song are an example of there musical style and influence. They cut at least one album in the late 1980s with the afore mentioned tracts included!
