Biography
Tornio, Finland (1985 – present)
CMX (short for Cloaca Maxima) is a Finnish rock group consisting of A.W. Yrjänä (vocals, bass), Janne Halmkrona (guitar) and Timo Rasio (guitar). Starting as an English language hardcore punk band, CMX eventually moved to a bit more conventional style of rock, even though their music could be described as somewhat experimental (at least when compared to the other Finnish mainstream rock groups).
Known for Yrjänä’s folklore-esque lyrics, riped with references to religion, mythology, cultural anthropology, philosophy and arts; themes of CMX’s songs are ranging from neoliberalism (concept they vigorously oppose), love, leap of faith, life and death to, as of late, futuristic imagery. Indeed, with music heavily influenced by such progressive rock collectives as King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Yes and lyrics inspired by such luminaries as Andrei Tarkovsky, T. S. Eliot, Carl Jung and Søren Kierkegaard; the band’s commercial success within Finland might seem quite surprising, an emotion that the band itself has frequently expressed.
History (from Wikipedia):
CMX was founded on Good Friday 1985 in Tornio, Finland by A. W. Yrjänä (18 at the time) and Pekka Kanniainen.[1] The band’s original name, Cloaca Maxima, Latin for the “Greatest Sewer,” was taken from a footnote of H. P. Blavatsky’s book Isis Unveiled.
