Overhead

Melodic and Thematic progressive rock

About Me

Overhead plays melodic and thematic progressive rock that varies from gentle ambient atmospheres via more traditional rock to heavier moments.
Overhead's first album Zumanthum was released in 2002 by Mellow Records and the band has also been featured in two compilation albums: Tuonen Tytär - A Tribute To Finnish Progressive (2000, Mellow Records) and Kalevala - A Finnish Progressive Epic (2003, Musea).
The Second album Metaepitome was released in 2005 by Musea and it has been received very well around the world. Metaepitome has gotten great reviews in magazines and webzines world-wide and it has been the album of the month in various magazines and radios and gotten airplay on many stations.
Overhead has played live in rock-clubs and festivals in Finland and done a small European tour in May and in October 2006. These shows were received fantastically and the band will return to Europe in 2007 playing festivals and clubs at least in Germany, France, Belgium, Switzerland and Sweden.
