Finland's Sinergy, featuring Children Of Bodom guitarist Alexi Laiho, has officially announced the departure of bassist Marco Hietala (Nightwish) and, as a result, forced both parties to issue statements regarding the matter.
Marco told us that the main reasons for him choosing the Nightwish tours are: a.)better money b.)he gets to sing more parts with them c.)when they have this upcoming "break" he will have time with his children.
Apparently, Porra was recommended by Hietala, who said the four-stringer "was an excellent player." Porra is now learning Sinergy material and will be handling back up vocals with Laiho on the band's forthcoming Korean and Japanese tours.

 Tarot : Suffer Our Pleasures - Review at Harvest Moon Music
Founded by vocalist and bass player Marco Hietala and his brother, guitarist Zachary Hietala, in 1986, the band's style of melodic metal has evolved over the years from a classic Iron Maiden-influenced sound to the dark, aggressive power metal displayed on
Beginning with a heavy bass strum from Marco along with ethereal and slightly eerie keyboards, I feel the chorus is the most memorable of the album.
Marco's bass lines are quite prominent and Zachary contributes a quality solo.

 PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY LARRY "LARRYD" DAGLIERI
Iommi himself, Hietala blends the sounds of Iommi with the dexterity of Richie Blackmore into a buzzsaw of a sound.
Hietala is from that same breed of singer who possesses not only a great voice, but an uncanny ability to diversify that voice in such a manner that makes each song sound incredibly interesting.
In his earlier days, Hietala almost sang in an irritating manner at times, and didn't seem to have quite the handle on his style - meaning that I think he has found hinself on this disc....

Tarot has had a long and successful career in their native Finland, and remain one of that country's top metal bands, though they aren't as well known outside their homeland.
Formed in the early eighties by the Hietala brothers Marco and Zachary, they debuted in 1986 with Spell Of Iron and have regularly, if infrequently, recorded ever since.
Marco Hietala joined another high-profile Finnish band (Nightwish) a few years ago, which is at least partially responsible for the band's relative inactivity of late.

 NIGHTWISH "ONCE" --- THE MUSIC SYNDICATE
It marked the grand entrance of Marco Hietala, a metal icon in his own right in his homeland.
With Hietala's dual contribution to the band (bass and backing vocals), they were able to put forth some of their darkest, most aggressive material ever.
Then, on the other side, is the rough-and-tumble “Romanticide,” a violent kiss-off that ends with bassist / back-up singer Hietala scowling “Spit on me, let go, get rid of me / And try to survive your stupidity” over one of the most headbanging riffs of the last five years.

 Taort - Suffer Our Pleasures CD Review at Heavy Metal Portal www.1heavymetal.com
Bassist / vocalist Marco Hietala is also a member of Nightwish.
While sticking to their roots from the past obviously, Tarot is not afraid to mix in some more aggressive leanings into their repertory as well as some brief hints of progressive metal for good measure.
While Nightwish may be the more successful band of the two, Marco's decision to put out a new Tarot album was most welcome.

Despite reputedly having the flu that day, both Marco and Tarja sound fantastic - at the top of their form.
Marco adds a lot of onstage chemistry, as you would expect (who was that surly looking guy with a bass on FWTE anyway").

Back in '86 Kirka helped this group led by the Hietala brothers (Marco on vocals & bass and Zachary on guitar) to get a deal with the new Flamingo label he was signed on.
At first the label was mainly interested in Marco Hietala only as he truly is one of the most remarkable heavy metal vocalists of our time but eventually the entire band got signed and the dedut album "Spell of Iron" came out in late '86.
After '98 it's been fairly quiet in the Tarot camp again and Marco Hietala has mostly spent his time playing bass in different groups (e.g.

Tarot have been together since the early eighties and are based around the talents of brothers Zachary and Marco Hietala and were back then called Purgatory and released a few albums.
There is some really exciting guitar playing from virtuoso Zachary Hietala and singer Marco Hietala has a distinctive original vocal style, and he has some wicked ranges that sometimes show a likeness to Geoff Tate and James Labrie from Dream Theater.
The song is complexed and really displays fine musicianship as the song builds into an almost Malmsteen like neo-classical attack.
