MARKO HIETALA - Rebel of the North (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Follow Marko Hietala:

Lyrics
I am a human male
An ape with an ego
Let me see that mirror
Don’t spare the shame

I am a fortress founded with the strength of lies
Wake me up my children
You know the rebel never dies

White walker black heart
Built anew from the start
Red hand martian art
Character of unwritten part

Got shrapnel of the real world straight between the eyes
Be not afraid my children
You know the rebel never dies

I need a challenger to bring me down and fight me
If I claim authority, that’s where I go wrong
But if you get high ideas then you can try and bite me
Claim that authority and we won’t get along
Get out of my song!

I’m from the north
You’re from the south
So what?
Who we are comes out of one’s mouth

With bullets of information future will rise
Word for blade my children
You know the rebel never dies

Renegades of mind grenades don’t need a disguise
Be not afraid my children
You know the rebel never dies

Rebel never dies

Marko’s voice is Finland’s national treasure. He can just read the phone book and it would still sound awesome.

[pascalleschuetz]

Maybe it's just me, but Marko seems so much happier and it's nice to see him like this.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[Norm]

Great tune! So glad to see Marko looking happy and doing his thing. The rest of the band is smokin' hot too. Great guitar tones.

Marko is one of those musicians that it won't matter what he decides to do, he'll always be loved. He may have found much worldwide recognition as the bassist in Nightwish, over the last 23 years (his first album with Nightwish and my discovery of him in 2002 after Century Child was released), he's always amazed me with his talent both vocally and on bass.

[MetalPilgrim]

This song has such a strong Deep Purple vibe... love it :)

Wieder ein Hietala -Hammer Song. Marko hat es einfach drauf. Ich kenne ihn leider erst zwei Jahre und habe mir alles angehört. Er hat unfassbar viel Musik gemacht. Ich habe noch nicht ein Stück gehört, was mir nicht gefiel, ein absolutes Ausnahmetalent mit einer unvergleichlichen Hammerstimme. Zusammen mit Tuomas, unschlagbar, wobei ich seine jeweiligen Bandmitglieder auch super finde. Ich bin glücklich, diese Musik, 🎵 dank🙏🏼YouTube ständig hören zu können. Toll, toll, toll. Marko, bleib uns bitte noch ganz lange erhalten, weil du auch so wunderschön bist. Ich brauche deine Musik 🍀👍👏🍀

[WNYretiree]

Marko on fire! This is another great song. I can't wait until I have that album in my hands.

[bergahn]

Loved the hard rock style... Suits up very well to Marko's voice

[testforme]

Marko just go wild with this one.
The new albums sounds pretty insane. Love it

This dude is literally the only reason I bought a Bass guitar and started learning to play it. I started on 6-String because it was Emppu who originally most inspired me to learn. It was only after 2 years of that which I started to learn enough to really notice the Bass and Marko is awesome to watch play. I eventually decided, maybe I do want to try to learn to play that as well. I bought a fairly cheap bass because I didn't know if I would like it or if it would help me over-all. I hoped it would give me a way to mix things up but still progress my over-all ability on 6-String... I didn't know if it would or not but I've been thrilled to find out that it very much has done that. Now I love playing both of them. I just got off 5 months straight of practicing nothing but Bass and Marko Hietala is the entire inspiration for that. I'm incredibly thankful that he was. I have to admit I was excited to see this drop and I'm not disappointed. This guy is a Legend in my eyes and the inspiration I've gained from his art is something I'll be grateful to him for as long as I live. Nothing has ever given me the joy that Guitars do. 🥰🥰 I only hope Marko is happy and keeps doing what he loves because what he does has changed my life for the better and I've never even met the man... Much Respect 🤘 and of course... Skål! 🍻

[BemusingBill]

Killer song! Can't wait for the album to drop. 🤘❤🤘

[elchecho]

Finally a heavy/rock song... honestly modern metal kind a sound all the same and hear something like this is like going back home❤

[nilshult]

Great song, looking forward to the album.

[GarryParker]

Marko takes it back to basics and comes out with a banger! Love it!

[fiesty]

Marko's my age so he will understand if i say he is the coolest human on earth. His vocal and playing abilities are amazing.

[planetarizonacomics]

Anything new from Marco always makes my day. This has some nice bite to it. Here’s hoping he and Tarja come back to Phoenix sometime soon

[PatitoCM]

Marko is pure rock... the ultimate heavy metal guy... great vocals...catchy riffs... great great song.

[alexandernovatney]

I haven't looked forward to an album this much in years! I can't think of an instrument that belongs in someone's hands more than that Warwick in Marko's

[elvwood]

Really enjoyed that. One thing that stands out in this one is the thoughtful humour of the lyrics - very Marko!

[ShiloblaengareBand]

Great song and video, rocking regards from Bremen/Germany👍🤘
