Overhead lie among the most iconic acts from the Finnish progressive rock scene. Overhead have played at festivals in Germany, France, UK, Italy etc. sharing the stage with bands like Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets, Spock's Beard, Anathema, Threshold and Tangerine Dream.
After a set of critically acclaimed albums, Overhead are now back with their long awaited double studio album Telepathic Minds!
Telepathic Minds is musically Overhead's strongest album so far, featuring progressive and aural landscapes and long epic tracks with strong melodies, groovy riffs and catchy choruses. Lyrically the album inevitably deals with the recent events and crises that the world has been facing.
Overhead was formed in 1999 and released a trilogy of studio albums: Zumanthum (2002), Metaepitome (2005) and And We're Not Here After All (2008). The works, released by the French Musea, received excellent reviews, radio play and recognition around the globe. The success of the albums led to the band touring in rock clubs and prog festivals around Europe.
The follow-up release Of Sun and Moon (2012) widened the band's sound even further. The album was followed by more live dates and Overhead performed at festivals in the UK (Summer's End) and in Italy (Veruno Prog Fest) for the first time.
The fifth studio album Haydenspark (2018) was a successful return to the more progressive style and it was very well received by fans and critics alike and followed by more live dates around Europe.
Reaching the band's 20-year mark in 2019, Overhead was the first Finnish band ever to play at Europe's biggest progressive rock festival Night of the Prog held at the legendary Loreley amphitheatre in Germany.
During the pandemic Overhead continued writing and recording their new album. Having finished the recording the band returned to France in late 2022 to play at the festivals Crescendo and Prog en Beauce.
In 2023 Overhead unveiled their latest masterpiece, the captivating double album "Telepathic Minds," earning widespread critical acclaim and even being hailed as the year's best album by many! This year Overhead celebrates their 25th anniversary with their longest tour yet.
