Finnish artist Marko Hietala has navigated a career filled with both triumphs and challenges, and now, after an illustrious four decades in music, he returns with a solo album that encapsulates his journey. Roses From the Deep is a heartfelt homage to his roots, drawing from the timeless influence of classic rock. Known for his tenure with legendary acts like Nightwish and Tarot (which remains active), Marko’s decision to step away during the pandemic offered him a renewed perspective on his musical path. While time away can be essential, returning with purpose is just as crucial—and with Roses From the Deep, he proves the wait was more than worthwhile. In this conversation, Marko reflects on his personal and artistic evolution, offering insight into this deeply personal project. Tune in now, and be sure to buy and stream Roses From the Deep, available worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.
