A Higher Place is the debut full-length album by American deathcore band Born of Osiris. It was released through Sumerian Records on July 7, 2009.[3] A Higher Place debuted at number 73 on the Billboard 200, selling over 6,000 copies.[4] It was the first album to have any creative input outside of the band's mastermind and drummer, Cameron Losch. Up until this point, he had written and recorded everything short of vocals on every song. Though this is mostly true for A Higher Place as well, "Exist" was written and recorded by Lee Mckinney. An earlier instrumental version of this song can be found under the title "Glass Bluntz". Though the two versions are quite different, they share the same hook that "Exist" is mostly noted for.
