If you’ve read my review for O.S.I.‘s Fire Make Thunder, you’ll know that I’m 1) a big fan of the band and 2) a big fan of their newest album. So seeing a video for their song For Nothing was released, I just had to check it out. And guess what? It’s pretty much tailor made for horror fans.

Shot entirely in black and white, the video uses swirling fog, creepy skulls, and this weird face that has no nose whatsoever gently singing along. I definitely recommend checking out this video below and giving this album a listen. READ MORE

For those of you who don’t know O.S.I. (shame on you!), they could easily be considered a supergroup of prog metal masters. Featuring Kevin Moore (ex-Dream Theater) and Jim Matheos (Fates Warning) as the two staple members, their albums have seen appearances from Mike Portnoy (ex-Dream Theater, Adrenaline Mob), Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), Mikael Akerfeldt (Opeth, Bloodbath), Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), and several more. With credentials like that, this is a band that practically demands notice.

From the belligerent hundreds of people in cities like Boise, Chicago, and Worcester, to the never-ending bar tabs, house parties, and all sorts of trouble we’ve caused in the past 35 days.
