Overhead – ‘Of Sun and Moon
Overhead

Of Sun and Moon‘ (German Progressive Promotion Records, 2012)

Finnish band Overhead plays an unconventional mix of heavy metal, pop, retro psychedelic and progressive rock.

Although the metal side dominates and they sound like all the other Nordic metal bands, their latest album ‘Of Sun and Moon’ has some interesting moments for the progressive rock fan.

The highlights are the three progressive rock-infused pieces in the central part of the album. ‘Syriana’ introduces vintage-sounding keyboards, psychedelia, and creative guitar work. ‘Grotte’ has notable flute and guitar interplay with more psychedelic elements; and ‘Last Broadcast’ is a mini epic combining slow tempo post rock, psychedelia, anthemic vocals and a grand finale.

Overhead’s debut album titled ‘Zumanthum’ came out in 2002 on Mellow Records. The second recording ‘Metaepitome‘ was released in 2005 on Musea. ‘And We’re Not Here After All‘ (2008) was their third album, also on Musea.

A live concert was videotaped in 2009 at the Prog Rock 2009 festival in Poland. ‘Live After All’ was released on DVD.

Overhead’s lineup includes Tarmo Simonen on piano and Polysix; Janne Pylkkönen on bass; Alex Keskitalo on Vocals and flute; Jaakko Kettunen on guitar; Ville Sjöblom on drums.
