Marko Hietala comments about ‘Impatient Zero’: “It´s about a battle for being under a continuous assault of inner monsters. And the awful truth, that in this reality, people get to see those monsters, too, instead of the real face.”
This marks Hietala’s first major project since his critically acclaimed Pyre of the Black Heart captivated fans worldwide in 2020.
Roses From The Deep promises to deliver a unique blend of dark, introspective lyricism and soaring, cinematic soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from myth, nature, and the human experience, Hietala has crafted an album that transcends genres, with elements of progressive rock, folk, and symphonic metal seamlessly intertwined.
Roses From The Deep represents a journey into the hidden layers of our emotions and the beauty we often overlook in darker times. It’s an album about fragility, resilience, and finding light even in the depths of shadow.
Featuring a stomping, groovy beat and a grand, anthemic chorus, new single ‘Impatient Zero’ is set to captivate listeners and perfectly set the tone for the rest of Roses From The Deep.
‘Impatient Zero’ follows the huge success of the album’s first two singles. ‘Left On Mars’, a haunting duet with Tarja Turunen, quickly became a fan favourite, showcasing the vocal chemistry between the two icons. The second single, ‘Frankenstein’s Wife’, with its dark storytelling and intricate composition, further heightened anticipation for Marko Hietala’s upcoming release. Together, these tracks have cemented Roses From The Deep as one of the most eagerly awaited albums of 2025.
The album comes in the following formats:
CD Jewelcase
2 LP gatefold, oxblood red
