Melodic Hard Rock
Apr 26, 2023
I can only agree with Radu's sentiment that "Marko Hietala is the one artist I always knew I needed a solo album from”. After a long and illustrious career in Nightwish that arguably raised that band to the immense level of popularity they enjoy, and with Tarot on indefinite hiatus after the death of their drummer, Marko decided to try his own wings with Pyre Of The Black Heart/Mustan Sydämen Rovio (yeah, it's bilingual, how about that?). Great results ensued: a melodic album full of hard rocking, slightly proggy cuts, excellent bass and vocals (as would be expected), and Tarot-worthy anthems.
