A Higher Place is the debut studio album by American progressive metalcore band Born of Osiris. It was released through Sumerian Records on July 7, 2009.{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Higher-Place-Born-Osiris/dp/B00290GN4G |title=A Higher Place: Born Of Osiris: Music |website=Amazon |date= |accessdate=2012-02-21}} A Higher Place debuted at number 73 on the Billboard 200, selling over 6,000 copies.{{cite magazine|url={{BillboardURLbyName|artist=born of osiris|chart=all}}|title=Born of Osiris on Billboard.com|magazine=Billboard.com|accessdate=2009-08-13}} 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.

In September 2009, the band announced a new single, "Now Arise", and released the music video for it on the same day.{{cite web|url=http://www.noisecreep.com/2010/02/09/born-of-osiris-now-arise-online-video-premiere/ |title=Born of Osiris, 'Now Arise' - Online Video Premiere |website=Noisecreep |date=2010-02-09 |accessdate=2012-02-21}}
