Marko Hietala has released his powerful new single ‘Rebel of the North’. The track serves as another preview of his highly-anticipated upcoming album, Roses from the Deep, which is set to drop on February 7, 2025.
Accompanying the release is 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, perfectly blended with the song’s bold and inspiring lyrics. The stunning contrast between the rocky sound and the tranquil Mediterranean setting makes this release a delight for the senses.
Marko Hietala comments: “This song is really energetic. The main riff transports you straight to the Nordic landscapes with overwhelming intensity. The narrative of the song revolves around the idea of reinventing yourself, of reimagining your own possibilities and thus gathering strength to become a better version of yourself. It’s a powerful reminder that we should never take ourselves for granted, as that leads to apathy and monotony. Inside each of us, there is a restless spirit that wants to learn and explore everything within its reach. We should not get in our own way.”
