Marko Hietala, the iconic singer and bassist, makes a triumphant return with his powerful new single “Rebel of the North.” This energetic classic rock anthem perfectly showcases Marko‘s talent for creating timeless and stirring music. The single offers another taste of his highly anticipated new album, Roses from the Deep, which will be released on February 7, 2025 and is eagerly awaited by fans worldwide.
The release is accompanied by a unique and visually stunning music video. Filmed against the stunning backdrop of a picturesque Spanish village, the video captures the band’s electrifying performance and seamlessly combines it with the song’s bold and inspiring lyrics. The striking contrast between the raw rock sound and the peaceful Mediterranean backdrop makes this release a feast for the senses.
Hietala comments: “This song is a real rocker. The main riff takes you north in one fell swoop. And the story is about reinventing yourself and becoming a better self. We should never take ourselves for granted, it leads to indifference and boredom. Your inner child wants to learn and try everything. Don’t get in your own way.”
