Tilian Pearson, the former Dance Gavin Dance frontman, appears to be gearing up for a return with a brand-new project—Dead Air Divine. Teased as a collaborative effort, the band looks to include producer Matt Malpass (nothing,nowhere., Train, The Ready Set) and possibly guitarist Lee McKinney, long known for his work in Born of Osiris.
While full details remain under wraps, an official Instagram page for Dead Air Divine has surfaced, hinting at more news to come. You can follow the project here.
This potential move follows growing speculation around McKinney’s status in Born of Osiris. The guitarist is noticeably absent from the band’s ongoing European tour, and a now-deleted post on his personal X account has only fueled fan theories about a quiet departure.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on Dead Air Divine as things develop.

Even the article says “possibly lee”. So yall dont know either?
Could they have picked a name closer to Dead And Divine?
JD Kowalski now there’s a throwback
JD Kowalski won’t be as good as Dead And Divine, though!
Damn, this is big news! I wish Lee all the best!
Didn’t that guy have sex with underage girls?
Chris Ashmun no. He got blown by a fan and later tried to have full on sex, she didnt want to but he was pressuring her for it.
Morgan
Leaving your band to start a new band with a disgraced rapist is insane work
Thomas he’s still in BoO lol
Tyler Rowley wonder what his announcement was then
Tyler Rowley he announced the band is done, was forced to delete his post, and is now not touring with BOO. He either left or was kicked out
Cody Shaw and they put out new music without him like yesterday
Jake Hart nah the new music had him in it still
Jake Hart what did you think of it? I didn’t like it ay
Thomas Trybus a disgraced rapist? Good lord yall will say anything on here huh? 🤣
Kevin Keever as someone who watched the meltdown occur in real time. Tillian basically admitted to his actions on Reddit before deleting the post. He then got kicked from the band to “attend therapy” and only came back for a tour to fulfill contractual obligations before being let go again.
Evan Wicklund I knew I wasn’t crazy cause I never saw his post again. Tilian blamed his actions on Tim’s death. Any excuse not to be accountable
Evan Wicklund we were all there dude. He is a dumbass for what he did but calling him a disgraced rapist is way overkill. Especially when you put her actions into the situation as well. Either way, I’m at work. Dude didn’t rape anyone. She stayed with him afterwards and was upset when he didn’t want anything but a few late nights with her. They were both dumb af. Anyways.
Evan Wicklund well at LEAST he’s going to therapy for it.
Kevin Keever there was more then one victim, “we were all there dude” except either your don’t know the actual story or you’re lying.
Thomas Trybus there was more than one victim? Are you actually sure about this? We have the credible story of him and the one girl, who’s lying here? I don’t personally know the guy or the girl why would I lie 😅 meanwhile you are over here getting emotional about it. Again, if I missed something please do show me where I did because I’m a massive DGD fan and trust me, this was talked about for months in the group(s) I follow.
Thomas Trybus oh, and I love how you’re showing how one sided you are about this by completely ignoring my point about how both had their parts to play in everything that happened. As in her making videos talking about it and saying she knew she was getting with someone famous and laughing about getting Tilian in trouble. Oh. And not saying anything about any of it until he said he didn’t want anything to do with her. Yea, she seemed REAL traumatized, dude.
Meanwhile Back On Deck is playing on my Spotify so I’m gonna enjoy some sweet tunes 😄
He wasn’t a fucking rapist. Peace.
Kevin Keever 30 year old in an of mice & men shirt talking about how tilian isn’t a rapist after tilian admitted to being a rapist is hilarious 😭 if someone knocked on your head it’d sound they were knocking on pvc
Evan Wicklund find those screenshots. I’ve heard people say this but nobody can find anything on that. Just about him using drugs 🤷♂️
Kevin Keever you sound like an absolutely unhinged piece of shit and a rape apologist
What u expect from Lee lol
Thomas Trybus do some research
Seth Skaggs home girl came out with receipt screenshots and selfies at tilians crib. She has the right to say no the moment the pants come off. Tilian didn’t listen. Here you defending a rapist? Wild work bro
Marcus Marcial do. Some . More. Research
Thomas Trybus Face matches the comment ep 18,307
Blake Johnson exactly! And ignorant as to how defamation works too.
He’s not leaving BoO

Zach Perry but they have a new album coming out lol.
Dylan Rogers the drummer writes better music then lee and actually sounds more like boo than boo currently does lol it wouldnt change anything
Michael Villalta I couldn’t tell you. I just the singles for this new album are pretty darn good.
Dylan Rogers their drummer just dropped a whole ass album and i promise youll see what im talking about haha. the new singles are good but doesnt remind me of boo.
Aaron Green it’s weird that he’s not touring with them right now then
Cody Shaw its not happening and some of them have had personal FB hacked. Do some deeper research
Aaron Green care to share? What’s the reason Lee isn’t touring with them right now?
If this is true this is waaaccck
Leonel Urena bruh yesterday was I Prevail being dissolved damn near and now this.
All I care about is Adept is back, everyone else can kick rocks at this point 😂😂😂
Leonel Urena how?
So that’s why these new songs are so good …
Gross
Austin Evans
Aaron Finn
Didn’t they just release a new song?….
Jason Shiver And announced a whole 13 song album releasing in July
Chase Kissane Yeah, and I still don’t really understand what’s going on. I did check out the new song, and boy…. It’s a weak one.
Christopher James Emlyn Owen
Simon Lukin מההה
Beyond expired
Lee got bored of being compared to Jason and hounded about why they don’t play Jason era BoO live. Understandable. I’d hate to be constantly compared to the GOAT too 🤣
Chris Markland this opens them up to a new guitarist being able to play it though 🤔🤔🤔
Chris Markland Jason Richardson is a boring guitarist.
Cody Callahan he’s so boring all that remains picked him up and the ex shrine of malice drummer. Your opinion is stupid
Tristan Bjarney his work with all that remains is the worst example of his playing. If you wanted to make a point you’d talk about his work with Luke holland and polyphia. His stuff with polyphia is alright, but he still has that boring guitar noodling with zero personality.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s a technically amazing guitarist, he just lacks zazz.
Cody Callahan nawl he’s amazing in all that remains. His solo stuff is amazing but I’m not gonna shit on his work in all that remains because I think his solo stuff is cooler though that’s a bitch move.
Tristan Bjarney I can’t remember what song it is, but his sweep picking on that all that remains single was the most boring lead guitar I’ve ever heard in my life.
Like bro we had guys like Hendrix, David Gilmour, and jimmy page to look up to, there’s no excuse for recording a sweep picking exercise *literally* given to you by rusty Cooley and calling it a day.
They will make an album better then DGD and BOO..
Ian Underhill you’re seriously celebrating a rapist
Andrew Saus II First off, All I said was they will make a better album. 🤣 Serious extremist energy my guy. At the end of the day, I’m only trolling for replies like yours. I do on almost every post like this. Don’t even listen to either band at all.. lol I listen to death grind and brutal death metal..
Ian Underhill trolling done right 😂
Michael Millar I can’t believe it took 20 hrs for one of these guys… 🤣 Tomorrow when they post about Spiritbox or whatever, ill say they are better than Sleep Token. All I know about Spiritbox is they got a girl vocalist. Lol
Ian Underhill it’s too easy to ruffle feathers these days. Like come on people it’s the fucking internet, jeez.
Andrew Saus II which one of them?
Jonny Karlsen From what ive gathered. Its the DGD guy.. Idk anything about it.. 🤣🤣
Andrew Saus II Zero proof of that goofball.
Blake Johnson mmhmm sure
Andrew Saus II typical simp reply because you know I’m right. What he was even accused of wasn’t illegal. He didn’t SA anyone he was just a drunk douche to a girl and she went and cried on Twitter about it years later.
Blake Johnsonbeing a dunk douche often does amount to sexual assault, and since you are unaware of that, ima help you out. You have 100% sexually assaulted women and you need therapy to see why you think it’s okay to excuse others for it, and yourself.
Ian Underhillsorry bro, the dogshit opinions take a while to filter their way to me.
Trevor Nansel Oh wow. 🤣🤣🤣 So let me get this right. Because i’m making you look retarded, that means I 100% sexually assulted a women? 🤣🤣🤣 Read the previous conversation brah brah. I ain’t gonna tell you again..
Ian Underhill wow, you are retarded. Is your name Blake? Or do you just think because the comment is in this thread, its directed at YOU. Brother, you ARE a retard, you cant fucking read.
Ian Underhill also, how the fuck does it take you an hour to come up with a response? fucking window licker.
Trevor Nansel I was busy.. I dont see Blake anywhere lol
Ian Underhill then sort by all comments you fucking inbred moron.
Trevor Nansel I think he already called me something else then blocked me bud.. Im working man. I dont care. Lol yall can keep commenting..
Ian Underhill bitch, you cant even fucking read. I doubt you are meaningfully employed.
Trevor Nansel I bet you cant meaningfully fuck that chick in your picture either..
Ian Underhill my fiancé? yeah, I never even hit that once, not at all.
Trevor Nansel I thought I couldnt read.. 🤣🤣🤣
Ian Underhill bitch, you cant, that fucking response didn’t fucking make sense, I’m actively reading your stupid fucking responses out and my fiancé and I are giggling while we game. You’re actually retarded.
Nahhh 🤣🤣 You still going on and did not understand fully what I said… You havent understood my whole goal this the whole time either.. You never read any of the other comments..
Ian Underhill We literally just had sex last night dude. You on the other hand have a fish profile picture and loved it so much you have an animated fish cartoon cover. I know for a fact you’re not getting laid. Shit like that is a swipe left champ.
Ian Underhill why would I try to dumb myself down to your level champ?
Trevor Nansel Bro you did though. Like completely. And were sitting here with you girl on facebook trying to prove to me something I didnt ask for now. Lol Im just a troll. I said in previous comments that Im basically waiting for comments on here to troll.
Ian Underhill That makes you literally the worst troll ever. Stuck in 2014 much? Jeez bro
Ian Underhillyou’re still alive?
Lyndi Motherglubbin Does it? I think I’m pretty fire at trolling. I mean you got brought into this to prove me nothing FOR him. Your boy bitched and cried about me while I was telling him to look at the previous comments all day.. I tried to tell him. Ur dating a fucking loser thats extremely frail. Good job at boosting his confidence today though. Keep pissing on him for me.. Lmfaoo byyyyyeee..
Trevor Nansel Face matches the comment ep 19,386. You look exactly how I would expect someone with that opinion to look.
i hope she sees your comment bro.
Blake Johnsonshe who? My fiance? Who hopped in the comments herself? Man, are both of you just actually retarded?
Blake Johnsonhow many times have you crashed that fucking bike you walking bag of CTE.
Ian Underhill I got brought into this solely because of you. If it wasn’t an invitation you should keep me out of your mouth. I know you’re lonely but I don’t do charity work.
Lyndi Motherglubbin ???? You just helped my arguement.. 🤣
Ian Underhill How?
Ian Underhill you’re STILL alive?
Trevor Nansel Clearly..
Ian Underhillare you on crack?
Trevor Nansel Nah. But you’re days late brah brah.. You must not have read anything from this conversation..
Good riddance
The wrong guitarist left in the first place
Cody Tidwell Ayoo imagine having Abasi, then Richardson and losing them both. And seeing them now. 🤣🤣
Ian Underhill when did they have Tosin?
Henry Wylie A Higher Place.. Met them all that tour. They both let me play their guitars at the time. Times were different. Lol!
Henry Wylie Lee had just got a new white 7 string Ibanez Prestige for the tour and literally carried it around with him everywhere. Lol he insisted I check it out.
Fake
This is some sick news
Alex Ferro
Nick Binner ayoooo? Okay let’s see what happens. Could be the softer version of darko lol
Ooof
Anthony Tackett wack
The last BOO single blows. Total departure from years past
Julian Alexander I thought it was solid. Everything went downhill since The Discovery but this one was actually pretty decent considering they went for the “popular” sound the past 3 albums and it never worked
Sooo a Lee and Tilian project is almost 100% happening but Lee exiting BOO for it is probably fake news.
Joey Cassidy here it is again???
lmao “dead air divine.”
so it’s really DAD-core.
I’m so excited!
Isn’t tillian being accused of a buncha gnarly shit regarding consent with his fans?
Austin Kyle Broflovski typical groupie girl goes to Twitter years later instead of the police. And what she’s saying he did wasn’t even “illegal” just being a drunk asshole in the bedroom trying to smash her without a condom (allegedly)
Austin Kyle Broflovski Yes. So this move is a little crazy to say the least.
Austin Kyle Broflovski nope. The gals texts leaked of her bragging to her girlies in a group chat about ruining his reputation and asking them if she should go after the DGD bassist next.
Cody Callahan Where have you seen this ? Boiii this stuff crazy
Thomas Giroud my best friend knows DGD personally. It sucks because by the time the truth comes out the damage is done. Look at all the comments talking about him like it’s a well known fact that he’s guilty 🤷🏻♂️
Of all people, Tilian? XD what a joke project
Jeremy Davis
Zach Harmon 🤢
Does anyone have a source to exactly what happened with tilian? I know he did sketchy shit but I just wanna know what and who
Adam Randall you should be able to find the leaked texts of the gal bragging to her friends in a group chat that she’s falsely accusing him and they’re all giddy about it. She was asking them if she should go after their bassist and do the same thing. This was before their bassist passed away.
Isn’t Tillian a pedophile? 💀💀
Christian Gonzalez no, lmao what
BOO past members list:

LMFAO
Corey Richardson
Betting it won’t be as good as Pantheon but I’m excited to hear what’s to come!
Lex Brooks Listen I LOVE the Tilian era of DGD and they are in my top 5 favorite bands. I love Andrew and I love Eidola and the double album this year has been insane. However this new record with Andrew fronting DGD. Midnight At Mcguffy’s I think is the strongest this band has ever sounded. New sounds and John sings on that track! Which I hope he does more on Pantheon.
Alex Joseph Lawson and tomorrow we get another single too!!
Ohhh?
Pedos of a feather flock together
Rape Gavin Rape
Clara Sanchez translate this for me
