MYON – After It’s Gone (2011)

Sweden is not the only Scandinavian country exporting quality music acts. It’s incredible how many good Finnish bands have shown up lately.
MYON is a five-piece band from the city of Oulu, Finland, founded in 1995. They aren’t newcomers by any means, as the group has released four albums, being the last the critically acclaimed ‘Frameworks’.

Myon is now recording their 5th studio album entitled ‘Vitalworks’, and as advance has released 2 EP’s, including tracks from the forthcoming new disc, plus exclusive material.
The just published EP contains the new single “After It’s Gone”, 2 tracks recorded live last year, and a different version of “Freak Of Nature” from 2006, recorded live as well. These live takes are superbly produced with brilliant sound, and only will be available in this EP.
Last year, the EP “Inner Fire” surfaced including two new tracks; the catchy title song and “Built By The Distance”.

Myon’s style is European melodic rock with a progressive touch, compared to Saga ‘On the Loose’ era, plenty of guitar and keyboard ‘cat and mouse’ antics.
This band work on many levels, with innovative arrangements and interesting twists.
Lush melodies, huge keyboards and a great, classy vocalist is what you will find in Myon.

All tracks were recorded, mixed and mastered at legendary Soundmix studios in Oulu, Finland by keyboardist Mika Pohjola. He has done a remarkable job giving these songs a crystal clear, crisp and deep sound.
This new material from Myon has a very fresh approach to the ever-changing face of rock music.
They definitely can compete with most bands that are regarded as leaders of this scene, without sounding like a clone of anyone.
So, another fine example for very good music coming from Finland.
How do they do that?
