Roses from the deep tour pt. ii
Guitarist Tuomas Wäinölä comments on the upcoming Marko Hietala Roses from the Deep Tour Part II as follows:
"I'm happy to say that in about one month, we're hitting the road around Finland again with the band. The February tour was absolutely insane — and I believe a few venues even sold out completely. The atmosphere was amazing, and we got to play intense two-hour sets in front of incredible audiences. There’s still special stuff to come, most importantly songs from our latest album, but also a bit of a retrospective — and overall, we’ll be delivering heavy rock and roll with full force, with the guys (and the lady!) on stage!"
"We've been rehearsing too, of course, and did a spring tour through Eastern Europe. Now we’re roaming around the summer pastures building up momentum — and come September, we’ll be in top form!"
"Just like in February, we’ll be joined by an old and dear friend to support us with duet vocals — yes, there's going to be some serious female energy on stage once again. We’ll leave you guessing who it is, but I can say that together with the band we have decades of shared stage history. And she’s an absolutely killer singer once again!"

Tamperelainen:
"The new album can pretty much be declared the rock album of 2025 already — others will have to go all out to top this performance. The album has received a flood of praise, which has led to sold-out shows, like tonight at Olympia-kortteli. So naturally, we had to head there."
Soundi:
"Marko Hietala and his band’s sold-out concert in Tampere was, in a word, stunning. The playing — as you might expect — was insanely tight and endlessly groovy. The two-hour setlist offered 'something for everyone': highlights from Hietala’s two solo albums, Vain elämää renditions, covers like War Pigs, and powerful medley moments."
