OSI - "FIRE MAKE THUNDER" - MARCH 27
LATEST NEWS - OSI unveils album/track titles, artwork and audio samples
Jan. 23, 2012 - OSI's upcoming fourth studio album is titled Fire Make Thunder and will be released on March 27, according to a press release issued today by Metal Blade Records.
The band also shared titles of the album's eight songs as well as the album's cover artwork and a roughly six-minute audio medley video that includes new photos of Kevin Moore and OSI guitarist Jim Matheos. The track listing is as follows: 1) Cold Call; 2) Guards; 3) Indian Curse; 4) Enemy Prayer; 5) Wind Won't Howl; 6) Big Chief II; 7) For Nothing; 8) Invisible Men.
"OSI is a long distance partnership, both musicians typically writing and recording alone and sending song ideas back and forth for further elaboration," the release said. "Written and recorded throughout most of 2011, this latest release once again reflects the eclectic influences of both Matheos and Moore."
The press release continues: "Returning as the band’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, 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 and Recording Environment. Mastering was handled by renowned engineer Roger Siebel. The record was produced by both Moore and Matheos."
