OVERHEAD
ZUMANTHUM
Pierwszy album znakomitej prog-rockowej grupy z Finlandii, wydany w 2001 roku. Wznowienie z 2019 roku. Absolutna prog-rockowa rewelacja.
nspired by classic prog giants like PINK FLOYD, GENESIS and KING CRIMSON, Finnish band OVERHEAD formed in the late nineties to record, and eventually release their first full version album "Zumanthum". Their music is refined and elegant with well-built melodies, clear and powerful vocals quiet and contrasted parts, sophisticated arrangements and great instrumental parts.
"Zumanthum" consists of 5 songs, including a 20 minute epic, and fits in the Neo Prog style, but with the perfect dynamics of keyboards and guitars, a symphonic sound is achieved. A new band capable of doing great things in the future.
"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.
Studio Album, released in 2002
