Tarot - Tides (Undead Indeed Live 2007) | REACTION | First Time Hearing

[@WNYretiree]

Marko has a powerful voice, full of passion. He feels the songs he sing and is a composer who can express himself very well. Great job picking up on the depression. He struggled with it for most of his life. It was only a few years ago that a new therapist thought to look a bit deeper and Marko was diagnosed with ADHD. The depression was a symptom, not the cause of his problems. He is now on the correct medications and word is that he is doing much better. Marko also suffered from an operation on his vocal cords very early in his career that left some damage and meant that he, basically, had to learn to sing all over again. Tarot was kind of popular in Japan for a while, and did attempt to break into the American market. Unfortunately, the American music market is notably unwilling to let in any music outside of certain rigid parameters.

Thank you for this suggestion and all of the info along with it. It was his voice and the heaviness of the song that got me.

[@TheRealRedAce]

The US music market is EXTREMELY jealous, It typically insists on charging "foreign" artists a large amount for the privilege of playing there.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

@@TheRealRedAce this doesn't surprise me at all. Very unfortunate.

[@TheRealMommaOG]

This is my longest intro ever! I try not to make them longer than 2 minutes but this one got out of control! 😅😅 There are chapter markers in the video if you want to get right to the reaction. Happy New Year everyone!

Tarot!! Dead Indeed!! No one does reactions like this. Kiitos.

[@Magga-f3z]

Kiitos from Finland.

Marko is the Dio of Finland. For some awesome belting crazyness check Tarots Wings of Darkness. He does a lot of vocals on Nightwish (leads on High Hopes, Islander, While Your Lips Are Still Red, Master Passion Greed for example). He is currently active with his solo band and over the years has featured with pretty much everyone and everything.

Not the Nightwish drummer, this was Pecu ”Spede” Cinnari (RIP). He died in 2016 and the band went on a long hiatus - they understandably didn't want to play without their old friend. Finally in 2023, largely due to the wishes of Finnish Tarot fans, they did a few gigs in the summer. Funny thing, their comeback happened at the Old Farts Rock charity event 😅 Tarot is really like a pioneer metal band in Finland.

Marko ❤ I use this song as my incoming calls in my phone. And Sleeping sun is my wake-up song. Greetings from 🇫🇮

[@henkraadmaar4072]

Do not apologize for stopping the video at a "wrong" place. It is easy for us to complain afterwards. But it is normal to forget what you know if you are surprised about music and a voice like this. Btw, good call first wanting to listen to the original High Hopes,

It's good music (compared to the average ... on the radio) and Marko's a great singer. Still like his vocals better when they harmonize with Floor's (provided he's not boosted his delivery in post, like e.g. Ever Dream at Wacken). The single voice that they were able to produce at times ("Song of Myself") is singular w/o any upgrade. Floor is clearly the superior & way more versatile vocalist though, which is no surprise since she's a once in a generation vocal giant & performer.

[@alexandersteinmetz6857]

WOW, Tarot, really? You went even more Niche then with Nightwish:) in Terms of american and european Mainstream Rock. Interesting Aproach , and jap for sure, Marco always made some Borderline Music, if no one interviened;). Overall i feel like you really get something out of our Finnish Metal Hereos. And i agree on You from the Other Recaps, its an Shame USA did block any other non contemporary and profitbrining Eurobands for decades. Do my an Favour plz, Cuddle your Dogs from an stranger from Germany;) STay Healthy!

[@TheRealMommaOG]

If it's good - I need to hear it. 😅 This band is definitely one I would have been into had I heard them in the past. Better late than never. Thanks for your comment I will cuddle my pups in your honor.
