I'm so happy your video popped up on my home page. I enjoyed it very much and was particularly pleased that you asked some novel questions - wonderful for your viewers and I bet Marko appreciated not answering just the same old, same old.

@@nightmary thank you SO much for your kind words! Truly means a lot and I’m glad you enjoyed the interview! Which song (s) are you most looking forward to hearing?

[@nightmary]

@@etherealmetalofficial I found a fan-filmed video of Marko and Tuomas singing Two Soldiers on the South American tour. I'm really looking forward to hearing Marko and JP sing together. Even though Tuomas wrote the words, it's absolutely perfect for the gentle hippie in Marko. Anxiously awaiting my CD because I can't wait to hear the whole thing - I've loved every song that's been released so far.

I love Marco Hietala and i will see him in Greece at April in live with Tarja,so maybe he will sing many new songs!! He is good now but he had problems for years,he finally forgive himself and go on in his life and that's great,we all have our demons, depression and bad thoughts, that is life,we have ours good and bad periods in life but after that we become wiser and better people, Marco is a great example of survivor!!He is a brilliant soul and a great musician,i am glad that he is better now!!! Thanks for the interview!!!

@@stasa-X glad you enjoyed the interview! Be sure to sub, we have a lot more exciting things coming up! Marko was super kind, and brave to open up during our discussion and having been following him for almost 20 years, it’s so good to see his healing process! What is the track you’re most looking forward to from the upcoming album?

[@stasa-X]

@etherealmetalofficial I believe is "Roses from the deep" it's the last song and i think 🤔 because it's the name of the album also it would be amazing with extraordinary lyrics but really i believe that all the songs will be wonderful 👍 too. Until today all the songs that released are fantastic Left on Mars and impatient zero are my favourite but i do i like all of them!! In my opinion and what about he said, this album is his catharsis from his personal demons and for this reason will be a great album deep from his soul!!!

Thanks for the interview

[@etherealmetalofficial]

@@3Dasha glad you enjoyed it! Any song in particular you’re most excited for?

[@3Dasha]

@etherealmetalwebzine Two Soldiers, because I'm fond of both Marko Hietala and JP Leppäluoto as vocalists.

[@3Dasha]

@@etherealmetalofficial , but also Kill the Dragon and the title track. Basically, all the songs that haven't been released yet :)

[@etherealmetalofficial]

@@3Dasha ughhh…Kill the Dragon is ABSOLUTE 🔥. It’s SO good! The title track is actually the oldest track Marko was telling me, he had some lyrics written several years ago, but it still needed work.
