Not the jazz musician of the same name, the progressive metal supergroup featuring ex- Dream Theater keyboardist Kevin Moore and Fates Warning guitarist Jim Matheos with contributions by Sean Malone, Mike Portnoy and Steven Wilson among others. Anybody here heard of them? If not, I'll post a few samples later but first, I'm going to post some updates on their album since information about them is pretty scarce and scattered.
"Jim Matheos posted on FW website that the release of the yet untitled third OSI album will take place in the spring of 2009. The mixing of the album will start in december this year and will be made by Phill Magnotti, who has mixed for Denis Chambers and Michael Bolton." --

According to his statement in the News section of the official Chroma Key website, Mike Portnoy has been replaced by Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison. Matheos will be playing bass. Mikael Åkerfeldt has since revealed on the official Opeth website that he co-wrote and performed vocals for a song titled "
Stockholm" on the new record.
The new album, "Blood", is set to be released on April 27 in Europe and May 19 in the U.S. via InsideOut Music." -- wapedia.com
"It’s a very moody song and completely unlike anything I’ve ever done before. I wrote the lyrics and the vocal lines for the piece that I simply decided to call “Stockholm“." -- Mikael Åkerfeldt on
StockholmThat's pretty much all I could find for now, despite the fact the expected release date is a month away but If I find anything, I'll post it here.
