Renowned Finnish musician Marko Hietala, celebrated for his legendary career in metal and rock, has released his highly anticipated solo album, Roses from the Deep, today. The multi-faceted record showcases Hietala’s exceptional songwriting and bold artistic vision, blending rich musicality with poignant lyricism.
One of the album’s standout qualities lies in its organic and authentic soundscape. Eschewing the modern trend of digital perfection, the Marko Hietala band recorded the tracks live in the studio, preserving the raw energy and groove of their performance. With no digital drum samples in sight, the album features real piano, analog synths, a Hammond organ, and the lush textures of a full string orchestra. This "dinosaur" approach results in a deeply resonant and timeless sound that captures the heart of every note.
Lyrically, Roses from the Deep delves into a spectrum of emotions, weaving narratives that are as layered and evocative as the music itself.To celebrate the release, Hietala has unveiled a stunning music video for the album’s title track, Roses from the Deep. The ballad’s haunting beauty is matched by the picturesque visuals of the video, further highlighting the album’s emotive depth.
