Osiris Rising is best known for their 2005 debut album Diluting The Gene Pool, which received airplay in Europe & Middle East following the death of their lead guitar player Joseph Robert Arthur in 2006. Their genre can be best described as alternative metal, however gothic and progressive styles were their primary influences.

Lead singer Michael Ibarra's raw, high-flying voice, melancholy crooning and tormented lyrics rounded out their unique sound. Osiris Rising was also known for changing genre (style) from song to song. Osiris Rising turned down an opportunity with Drive Thru Records in 2004 to pursue an indie CD release. Joseph Robert Arthur died in a car accident just weeks after the band had begun pursuing a record deal with Atlantic Records early in 2006, leaving the band without its creative force and primary songwriter.
