2005 , FINLAND - EURO 13.50
Label: MUSEA
ALBUM REVIEW
OVERHEAD is the name of a current Progressive rock band, with a true sense of originality. After having published a first album and guested on the KALEVALA project, these young Finnish musicians join the Musea label at the occasion of the release of their second opus. "Metaepitome" (2005) is composed by six long and complex pieces, two of them being suites about 15 and 20 minutes long. The music still includes a few influences from PINK FLOYD, RUSH, MARILLION, DREAM THEATER or KING CRIMSON. However, OVERHEAD's Progressive rock becomes really innovative and personal, when it's mixed with some strange psychedelic and electronic sequences. The tracks are performed with a power not unlike heavy-metal. The ingredients: Seventies keyboards sounds, lively bass parts, elegant vocals, nice flute soli, excellent guitar playing. (Musea)
