It is great that Marko is doing better, dude has been so productive that several times it has been almost worrying. His solo stuff is doing great plus lots of collabs again, promises of new solo material, Tarot made few gigs and by now one booked for next summer. Plus mandatory one month end of the year xmas party on Finnish heavy xmas tour.
@@Growlsyup they played a few return gigs last summer in finland, and he and his brother made interviews talking about potentially making a bigger comeback depending on how those gigs feel for them.
Reminds me of some of Nightwish's songs with Marko on lead vocals like "Kiss While Your Lips Are Still Red", "The Islander", but also newer stuff like "Élan". The chords, the key, the melody, the production, Marko's vocals. This is the kind of stuff I've been missing from Nightwish lately.
@@lawrence1389uBy that standard neither would the rest (not better) of Tuomas' compositions ))) Besides, Amaranth's arguably one of the Tuomas' better/popular tracks, simple as it may be, and Run! is a respectable "inspired by" take on that... would not have been horribly out of place on Dark Passion Play..
@@lawrence1389u He did returned to do small gigs a year ago, mainly with Tarot, and of course heavy Xmas concerts. He was in Kuopio Rock backstage supporting Turmion Kätilöt band, same year summer when he quit Nightwish. hes done something with Northern Kings set up, at least they planned to do something. After he left Nightwish he got finally right diagnosis , he was treated for depression for years, but he has ADHD.
Exit Eden is fantastic. They're a super group of symphonic metal singers, and their debut album was really good. It was all pop covers given the symphonic metal treatment.
Amanda Somerville used to be in the band and departed recently due to her busy being a mom, you should definitely go check out their debut album from 2017, it's a collection of pop covers they did, it's a tad silly, but they're great!
Marko's been back since last year. If you look up Northern Kings Don't Stop Believing 2022 that was Marko's first concert gig since he took a hiatus and his smile is wonderful. You could tell he missed performing for a big crowd.
@TankTheTech not so,he has appeared in many videos since leaving g NW,so he is actually not back,unless it's with NW,it's becoming apparent to many that his reasons for leaving NW may have been disingenuous and more for selfish reasons
@@enato9180 BS, he was very straightforward about his mental health which was the biggest reason he quit. If that's being selfish then i'm okay with that. Now he is doing better and got a right diagnose. He was in NW for 20 years and i'm glad about that.
@@TankTheTech , sorry, you are wrong. Back in October 2021, Marko appeared in one of Waltari's videos celebrating the 30th anniversary of this Finnish crossover legend: ua-cam.com/video/CcPER7WIMHM/v-deo.htmlsi=CuX8hGHABGobjUfi
Great to see Marko again, he's definitely been missed. And yeah, the song sounds like it could have been on any of the last two Nightwish albums - and that's not a complaint. Great track.
This sounds like the old times of Nightwish out of the Wishmaster time. Don`t know how much Marco was involved in song writing either in Nightwish or in this song. By the way Marco joined Tarja a few weeks (or months) ago on stage and they performed "phantom of th eopera" together and it was like that they both were enjoying the good old vibes from the past. Tarja added after the song that they performed first time since 18 years together on stage and that is exactly what i feel in this song.
I loved this so much, I bought it immediately and probably listened to it 10 times in a row blasting out my car window on a day too cold for it 😆. Nightwish is my favorite band for 20 years, and I've actually been sad that their closest compatriots in the genre DON'T sound more like them. Like, please, I love this, could everyone make more of it? This one really had a lot of that vibe. I'm hoping any of the other originals they have on this album are as good - Marko could have been doing a lot of the work in getting to similarity. Also miss his voice terribly in NW live, even if Floor can astoundingly pull everything off mostly by herself. It's great to hear him again. But the featuring of the piano here, instead of as decoration around the other parts of the band, also works really well. Glad you reacted to it!
marko hietala is like tom hanks, never choose bad production and it´s always getting hit or very good song like tom hanks of course movies. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful weekend.
Last July, I went to a Delain/Marko/Tarja concert in Switzerland, where he had a guest spot with Delain (with which he has a long history) then his own set, and a duet near the end of Tarja's set (a cover of a random music theater song). It felt great to see him on stage (the Nightwish show I saw last year had definitely something missing)
@@MoonOvIce True but its more about what the buisness in itself takes from the musicians that he started to hate. All the scumy companies you have to work with
@@FloundFahrdienst Yeah for sure. One of the many reasons that threw me off the music business when I was 17/18, as an introverted artsy teenager. But at the same time, I had to deal with shity corpos in traditional "jobs" and wonder if it isn't better anyway doing it in the music industry. Traditional jobs suck the life out of people more than making music for a living, I'm sure.
@@FloundFahrdienstI think there,s some contradictions with what Marko said about his reasons for leaving NW and his level of activity/performing since then
Marko was also on a song on the latest Delain album, with the new version of the band. Granted, he did a lot of guest vocals with the band in their early days. This sounded pretty good. I think I heard Exit Eden once before... it might have been a cover of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart'. Which was just recently covered by Doro and Rob Halford.
Agreed, this definitely scratches the Nightwish itch. But it makes me realize I’m desperate for more Marko material. Gonna have to go back and dive deeper into Tarot
Its nice to see Marko back and creating music. As much as I like Nightwish, they are lacking a certain heaviness that he brought to them with his vocals. They are leaning a little too prog and folk for my liking these days. I kinda wish theyd go back to the Dark Passion Play sound.
Marko re joining Nightwish, in some capacity, is the only thing that I am waiting for. Maybe 2025 after his mind is settled. Watch the outro of Tampere 2015 Greatest Show on Earth as he walks out on the ramp with his arms extended outward. He has one chance to feel like that again.
I for one am glad you're willing to dress up for your kid! That's how it should be. My first exposure to Exit Eden too; it won't be my last. Because I've only heard this a few times so far, whenever it finishes the NW proto- _Amaranth_ demo, _Reach,_ starts running through my head (Marko singing the title word hits very similarly in both).
UA-cam recommended this to me... because Marko :D I love him and UA-cam knows. I really liked the song and it was so great to see Marko back. I really hope he is doing great and that he may give us another one of his solo albums :)
This was really good, and a great way to get our Nightwish fix for the time being. But apparently Nightwish is supposedly dropping their new albums first single in the coming weeks, and I can’t wait.
Your daughter knows what's good in the world and just said you are Mr Incredible. Which you are, ofc. Also, I just got Exit Eden's first album a few days ago!
I was a little sad when I saw the Amanda Somerville's statement that she was stepping away from the band. If this song came up on a random playlist, I 100% would have thought it was a Nightwish song. Happy to see Exit Eden is coming out with more music though and to see Marko performing again.
Nightwish without marco is like dream theater without mike portnoy (who returned now). Im missing Marco's input and voice in the current nightwish work and live sets.... really missing it
Saw he's doing shows with Tarja too, hope they'll come to where I live too because that's my Nightwish 😂 Nothing against Floor of course, but yeah, saw Tarja live beginning of this year, and that gave me the same feeling I got when Nightwish was still my favorite band. So would LOVE to see those 2 together again. But yeah this sounds cool.
I'm quite happy that you uploaded another reaction video! I like this group's sound, and I look forward to hearing more. I hope a reaction to "The Poetic Edda" by Synestia & Disembodied Tyrant will be done sometime soon!
I am a massive Nightwish fan and I admit that I haven't watched one single live clip of that band since Marco left. I just don't want to hear a heavily compromised version of Nightwish.
Good move by Exit Eden to get themselves more exposure. I was always kind of shocked when I couldn't find many reactions to their music. Of course Marko is great, but these ladies kill it in everything they do.
Would love to see a reaction for some of Marko's solo stuff, maybe from the club tour he filmed. Those shows were amazing. They had a very old school feel.
@@milton1448Maybe but, for me, Tuomas jumped the shark after Imaginarium. Nothing has been as good as the prior material IMO. Like prog-rock in the late 70’s got the label of being “pretentious” and “bloated”, I’d say Nightwish has done the same. It’s a fine line, and everyone draws that line at different points, of course.
Well, we all have different opinions and preferences, and that all we have really. I hear the same about Opeth, etc. Fans tend to get stuck in time too often IMO. Bands don't and expand over time. How boring it would be to play the same style for 20+ years. And BTW, the 70 prog- rock rocked. But, I'm not one that follows others. @@interstellardave
@@milton1448I love 70’s prog, including the near-infamous album Tales From Topographic Oceans. I can see where people thought it was too much, though. I’m in the opposite position with Nightwish. To me Poet And The Pendulum is practically perfect but the newer epics-though not really a new style-just miss the mark for me. It’s par for the course with great artists, though. The aforementioned group Yes has made some of the best music ever, IMO, and also quite a bit that falls way short of greatness.
Well stated. For me the band is not the same without Marko. As much as I love their older stuff, I also like their new album. Being a musician, I tend to gravitate to interesting music, and I found much on Human Nature interesting, albeit different than their music from 15+ years ago. The 70ies produced some of the best music of any decade. Chick Corea and the rock/jazz fusion movement is still on my turntable, so to speak. Cheers Dave- @@interstellardave
I really loved the first album, which is why I was super bummed to find out Amanda wasn't coming back, because she really was the star. No disrespect to the other singers, but she really carried it with her powerhouse vocals.
I had the opportunity to see Marco live last summer and I'm so glad I did it! By far the best concert of the night (it was a four band festival in Switzerland) And that included Tarja. Plus Marko and Tarja did Phantom of the Opera live together for the first time in 18 years and yes. I cried. A lot. I just love Marko so much and I am glad he's doing so much better. And the song and video are cool. But surprisingly not my cup of tea anymore. (I did get into heavier music mainly because of Nightwish and Within Temptation, so it should have been right up my alley) It is an genuily good song though and that I can appreciate (and Marko is always a plus)
Good to see marko in great shape again. In the Last weeks I saw some pretty awesome stuff with him, including a Live Duet of Phantom of the opera with tarja which I never expected to happen again. Seems like he really has been cleaning bad baggage the last years
OMG. I can relate to waking up on a sandy beach with a hangover that feels like i would propably like to not wake up at all 😄. Some midsummer drinking in finnish summer. But the music just keeps u alive and give u strenght to do one more day
This song is pretty rad! I love Marko and he does help it to sound very much like Nightwish. But Nightwish still rules too and I’m looking forward to their new album as well as this one.
The album Rhapsodies in black is where i fell in love with their Metal cover versions of a whole host of songs. Some of wich in the original vesrions i wasn't a fan of but they really put their touch on it.
Their album Rhapsodies in Black is one of my favorite things to listen to. They cover everyone from Bryan Adams to Bonnie Tyler, Lady Gaga, Adele, and more. It's incredible.
Here's the tracklist of the upcoming album: Side A: 01 Femme Fatale 02 It's a Sin 03 Run! (feat. Marko Hietala) 04 Separate Ways 05 Buried in the Past 06 Désenchantée Side B: 07 Dying in my Dreams 08 Poison 09 Alone 10 Hold Back Your Fear 11 Kayleigh 12 Elysium
Wish I Had an Angel, Bye Bye Beautiful, I Want My Tears Back, Amaranth, the Islanders, While Your Lips are still Red, Elan, My Walden… with some Epica’s influences (the Abyss of Time)
Looking forward to this one. After listening to Nightwish for 20+ years, I finally saw them live this year, right after Marko departed. As much as I once loved them, I actually left the show early, because without Marko something is just off. Floor is one of the best singers on the planet, but Marko brought something incomparable to the whole composition.
Marco gave the band an additional facet. not just as a player, but as a vocalist and a songwriter. Jukka is a very solid bass player but doesnt have the same depth in terms of vocals and i have no idea what his songwriting is like. He was smart enough to accept the opportunity offered him, but as you intimated, the band is just different without Marco.
@@belellkaeh2775 What? I had no idea their ex-drummer is now their bass-player! And I must have seen him do it live, but then didn't recognize him without a drumset! Another thing to blow my mind in a few minutes now...
@@monikamiroslava4074 Well, that's a relief, somehow. I thought I just hadn't recognized the guy that evening. Now I feel dumb instead for jumping conclusions.
Man do check them out You won't be disappointed Exciting to hear they now have original material. Other reports on this group say started as a side Hussle 3 of the girls supposed Opera diva's They certainly sing perfectly . They mainly metalized everything they sang Check out their Totall Eclipse of the Heart. Steinman just a bit further over the top lol
Marco is one of the only male vocalists I wish I could sing like. His voice has such range and reach. The only other one I wish I could sing like is David Draiman And I would straight up marry Clem!!!
Marko is one of my all time favorite vocalists. So glad he is doing better and back making music.
He never stopped was performing within wks after leaving NW
@@enato9180if that is true (not saying your wrong) then the excuse for leaving NW is very suspect… 🤔
@@timlubbers2884 He doesnt need reason (or an "excuse")
@@ojl5055 I agree, but he put out a reason, and it doesn’t jive with reality, so a person can question it …

TAROT? They're playing again, even without their drummer?
@@Growlsyup they played a few return gigs last summer in finland, and he and his brother made interviews talking about potentially making a bigger comeback depending on how those gigs feel for them.
@@Growls Yes, they got another member from homies Turmion Kätilöt. Probably doing single shows here and there in coming years but not proper tours.
So good to see Marko back in action, and enjoying himself by the looks of things.

I've had this on rotation for a while, it fills that Nightwish void for me
After listening too much Noora Louhimo lately this didn't blow my mind but I'll listen it few more times. Maybe it 'll grow on me.
I knew Marko couldn't stay away for forever! ❤❤❤

As soon as i herd Marko sing this song Immediately went onto my Playlist.
Oh man, I missed Marco so much! I met him a few times when he came to Argentina and he's the sweetest ♥
Its nice to see Marko back and creating music. As much as I like Nightwish, they are lacking a certain heaviness that he brought to them with his vocals. They are leaning a little too prog and folk for my liking these days. I kinda wish theyd go back to the Dark Passion Play sound.
Troy is not Marko, so that is going to be difficult, unless Jukka is stepping up to the plate.
He,s not back,he would be "back" if it was with NW,but was performing and recording within a few wks after leaving NW
Hmmm... you don't find this to be extremely folk?
They havent released an album without him yet?
Marco is the king, he can make anyone sound so much better....
So happy to see and hear Marko again. Such a great song!!
Marko re joining Nightwish, in some capacity, is the only thing that I am waiting for. Maybe 2025 after his mind is settled. Watch the outro of Tampere 2015 Greatest Show on Earth as he walks out on the ramp with his arms extended outward. He has one chance to feel like that again.
If Portnoy can rejoin Dream Theatre then surely Marco can go back to Nightwish.
It's just not Nightwish without him.
loved his last solo album Pyre of the Black Heart sounds great in his Native and English. hope h releases another soon
Thanks for showing us this.
Marko won The Masked Singer Finland a couple of years ago. You can check out his performances on YT.
Song sounds awesome and I have to give you props on the excellent pronouncistion of Markos name!
Message to the band: "Please don't run with scissors!"
I like this song better than the whole last Nightwish album. Marko made Nightwish better. He was definitely missed the last time i saw Nightwish live.
It's a best outfit,Tank,to go on hangovers after the first morning shot to alko!😂🎉
That man is in his late 50's and still sounds so good!

'Nothing Left' is my favourite duet of theirs. Crushing riff, stunning chorus.
Oh, I love the Visions of Atlantis singer. :) She's great. The music is great too.
This was really good, and a great way to get our Nightwish fix for the time being. But apparently Nightwish is supposedly dropping their new albums first single in the coming weeks, and I can’t wait.
Specifically, Annette era Nightwish vibes. And that's not a bad thing!
Yeah!
I was pleasantly surprised!
Much love from England 🏴

Your daughter knows what's good in the world and just said you are Mr Incredible. Which you are, ofc.
Also, I just got Exit Eden's first album a few days ago!
This is amazing! definitely the vibe nightwish has been missing recently.
Now add Tarja vocals here, damn I would cry. I miss old Nightwish so much, good old days....
The best era was with Tarja. All the magic went away with her.
Tank, you've reacted to Visions of Atlantis, and the singer on that song is the tall thin brunette here. Clementine Delauney

@tankthetech I could be wrong, but I believe this group was inspired by the Northern Kings concept - which Marko was also a member of.
Agreed, saw them at tuska a year or so ago and they were phenomenal with singers and musicians from so many great Finnish metal bands.
Marko not Mario
@@NeeceTheLonewolfI know. got bit by autocorrect and it won’t let me fix it.

And the song and video are cool. But surprisingly not my cup of tea anymore. (I did get into heavier music mainly because of Nightwish and Within Temptation, so it should have been right up my alley) It is an genuily good song though and that I can appreciate (and Marko is always a plus)
This song's stuck on my head till the day it came out 🤟
Instrumentation and vibe massively remind me of How's The Heart. Which is good, 'cause I love that track.
Exit Eden are great, loved their covers album, Rhapsody’s in Black. Some great renditions of songs by the band imho
Good to see marko in great shape again. In the Last weeks I saw some pretty awesome stuff with him, including a Live Duet of Phantom of the opera with tarja which I never expected to happen again. Seems like he really has been cleaning bad baggage the last years
OMG. I can relate to waking up on a sandy beach with a hangover that feels like i would propably like to not wake up at all 😄. Some midsummer drinking in finnish summer. But the music just keeps u alive and give u strenght to do one more day
This song is pretty rad! I love Marko and he does help it to sound very much like Nightwish. But Nightwish still rules too and I’m looking forward to their new album as well as this one.
Tank: *DAD MODE ENGAGED* "My daughter wanted to dress up as Jack Jack, so I'm Mr. Incredible, and that's just what it is."
Will have to check to see if they have any live performances and what they have covered before.
Really reminds me of Nightwish Escapist. Has a similar melody
The album Rhapsodies in black is where i fell in love with their Metal cover versions of a whole host of songs. Some of wich in the original vesrions i wasn't a fan of but they really put their touch on it.
Wonder where they found a pipe player that sounds as good as Troy. 🙃😌
Their album Rhapsodies in Black is one of my favorite things to listen to. They cover everyone from Bryan Adams to Bonnie Tyler, Lady Gaga, Adele, and more. It's incredible.
Here's the tracklist of the upcoming album:
Side A:
01 Femme Fatale
02 It's a Sin
03 Run! (feat. Marko Hietala)
04 Separate Ways
05 Buried in the Past
06 Désenchantée
Side B:
07 Dying in my Dreams
08 Poison
09 Alone
10 Hold Back Your Fear
11 Kayleigh
12 Elysium
This is an amazing song heard this on Spotify recently and recognized Marco immediately but never got around to looking into who group was
More Marco side projects!!!
I just miss Marco as Nightwish member.
Wish I Had an Angel, Bye Bye Beautiful, I Want My Tears Back, Amaranth, the Islanders, While Your Lips are still Red, Elan, My Walden… with some Epica’s influences (the Abyss of Time)
Looking forward to this one. After listening to Nightwish for 20+ years, I finally saw them live this year, right after Marko departed. As much as I once loved them, I actually left the show early, because without Marko something is just off. Floor is one of the best singers on the planet, but Marko brought something incomparable to the whole composition.
Marco gave the band an additional facet. not just as a player, but as a vocalist and a songwriter. Jukka is a very solid bass player but doesnt have the same depth in terms of vocals and i have no idea what his songwriting is like. He was smart enough to accept the opportunity offered him, but as you intimated, the band is just different without Marco.
Sad but true
@@belellkaeh2775 What? I had no idea their ex-drummer is now their bass-player! And I must have seen him do it live, but then didn't recognize him without a drumset! Another thing to blow my mind in a few minutes now...
@@wolframvonstein7303 Not the same Jukka, it's likely a popular name in Finland. Although some drummers can also play the bass
@@monikamiroslava4074 Well, that's a relief, somehow. I thought I just hadn't recognized the guy that evening. Now I feel dumb instead for jumping conclusions.
They remind me more of Eluveitie than Nightwish. Not a bad thing, I'm a fan of both. Cheers.
Exit Eden has an insane Cover-Album. You have to listen to it! so good.🔥🔥
What about Christmas? Are you Rudolph the rednose reindeer? 😂😂❤ Love from Finland
Your daughter wanted to be Jack jack...I'm so impressed😂😂❤❤❤ good job good daddy...raising your kid right!!!
Man do check them out You won't be disappointed Exciting to hear they now have original material. Other reports on this group say started as a side Hussle 3 of the girls supposed Opera diva's They certainly sing perfectly . They mainly metalized everything they sang Check out their Totall Eclipse of the Heart. Steinman just a bit further over the top lol
it gave you the nightwish fix..... without the nightwish demonetisation!! WIn / WIN Yay For NAPALM, Great React Tank!!
Marco is one of the only male vocalists I wish I could sing like. His voice has such range and reach. The only other one I wish I could sing like is David Draiman
And I would straight up marry Clem!!!
Missed the live stream yesterday...
Great tune....
Very Elan; yep, definitely enjoyed this
His stuff with Tarot is excellent also. Very awesome live
Amazing Marko ❤❤❤❤❤
