"Fire Make Thunder" marks the fourth undertaking for the collaborative duo known as OSI. The CD is slated for a March 27 release via Metal Blade Records.
Formed in 2002 by Jim Matheos (FATES WARNING, ARCH/MATHEOS) and Kevin Moore (CHROMA KEY, former DREAM THEATER keyboardist), OSI is a long-distance partnership, both musicians typically writing and recording alone and sending song ideas back and forth for further elaboration.
Written and recorded throughout most of 2011, this latest release once again reflects the eclectic influences of both Matheos and Moore.
Returning as OSI's session drummer is Gavin Harrison of PORCUPINE TREE, this time co-writing one of the tracks with the band. All other instruments and programming were performed by both Matheos and Moore, while vocals and lyrics were handled exclusively by Moore.
All of the recording for "Fire Make Thunder", with the exception of drums, was done by Moore and Matheos at each musician's respective home studio with drums being recorded at Harrison's home in London. Final overdubs as well as some additional writing/arranging was completed in July 2011 in Jamaica, Iowa, where the band mixed alongside engineer Matt Sepanic at Sound Farm Studio & Recording Environment. Mastering was handled by renowned engineer Roger Siebel. The record was produced by both Moore and Matheos.
"Fire Make Thunder" track listing:
01. Cold Call 02. Guards 03. Indian Curse 04. Enemy Prayer 05. Wind Won't Howl 06. Big Chief II 07. For Nothing 08. Invisible Men
An audio medley of tracks from "Fire Make Thunder" is available in the YouTube clip below.
Looking forward to it! Sounds different; lots of Floyd influence it seems.

Wow. They definitely know how to come up with new things, that is for sure. I can see me picking this up when it comes out. And you weren't whistling dixie with the Floyd comparison.

I've always dug Kevin Moore's projects. This will be an autobuy on the OSI(I already have the others).

Yeah, the other albums are great, so this is a blind buy for me.
