Interview with vocalist/bassist Marko Hietala (Nightwish, Tarot, etc.) on The Metal Crypt

[Luxi]

I had a pleasure to sit down with Marko Hietala, who is mostly known as the bassist (and backing vocalist) of NIGHTWISH.

Marko, however, also has his solo band that's been in the making for many years already. His debut solo album, "Pyre of the Black Heart", was released on Nuclear Blast on January 24, 2020 - and he went on his first European tour on February 2, 2020, with his solo band.

The Metal Crypt was privileged to witness Marko's solo band live in Finland on January 31st, also getting a chance to chat briefly with him prior to the show...
