Background notes
Archive material and source history
OSIAH formed in the late 1990s when keyboardist and vocalist Jon Humphrey met guitarist Mike Banfield. They shared an interest in experimental, atmospheric music and began working together, eventually releasing their debut album 'The Invisible Invasion' in 2003.
Their sound developed over subsequent albums like 'The Divine Ether' in 2006 and 'The Oracle' in 2009. Songs like 'By The Hands Of Man' and 'Defilement Of Purity' show their approach to ethereal compositions with introspective lyrics that sometimes touched on religious and political themes.
Humphrey dealt with depression and substance abuse during the band's run, which affected their work. OSIAH built a loyal following through live performances despite facing financial constraints and label rejections early on.
