CMX

CMX, also known as Cloaca Maxima, is a renowned Finnish rock band that has made a significant impact on the Finnish music scene since their inception in 1985. Originating from Tornio, the band started with a hardcore punk aesthetic but has since evolved to incorporate a wider range of musical styles, frequently touching upon progressive rock, heavy metal, and even classical influences in their later works. The band's name CMX is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "Cloaca Maxima," which reflects their early punk roots.

Fronted by the charismatic A. W. Yrjänä, whose profound and poetic lyrics are often cited as a hallmark of the band's music, CMX has accumulated a dedicated following with their thought-provoking and philosophically charged content. The lineup comprises Janne Halmkrona and Timo Rasio on guitar, with Tuomas Peippo on drums, each member contributing to the band's distinctive sound that has matured over several decades. Their most recent albums, such as "Rakkaudessa ja sodassa" and "Alkuteos," continue to showcase the band's evolution and depth, with "Rikkisuudeltu" and "Kusimyrsky" reflecting their capacity to innovate and challenge conventions within the Finnish rock genre. Despite the changes in style over time, CMX has maintained a consistent reputation for quality and artistic integrity, making them one of the most respected and enduring bands in Finland's music history.
