OSI's Blood to Be Shed in April

Most of the truly successful musical collaborations (or supergroups, if you prefer the term) are formed from musicians who have somewhat disparate musical directions. Such is the case of OSI, the very successful collaboration between Kevin Moore and Jim Matheos. Moore himself has stated that he and Matheos "have different musical tastes but an unspoken musical understanding." The results of that musical understanding will be available for listeners soon, with a European release date of April 27th and a North American date of May 19th. The great Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison will be playing on this album, and Opeth's Mikael Åkerfeldt will provide guest vocals on one track. Some samples are currently available at the official OSI website.
