Biography[edit]
Marco Hietala was born January 14, 1966, and is the youngest child of the Hietala family. Hietala lived in Tervo until the age of 15, after which he moved to Kuopio to study classical guitar, vocals and musical theory in high school. In 1984, he and his brother, Zachary Hietala, formed heavy metal band Tarot under the name Purgatory. In 1986, Tarot received a deal for their first album and went on tour.[3] Before becoming a full-time (全职的)musician, he worked as a live and studio sound engineer.[4]
Hietala joined Nightwish for their 2002 album Century Child, following the departure(离开) of previous (先前的)bassist Sami Vänskä.[5] He was a prominent (显著的,突出的)guest musician in Delain(交响金属), a project involving (包含着)many members of the gothic and symphonic metal community.[6] He also participated(参加) in the recording of Invitation, by Altaria, providing backing vocals.[7] Hietala has also been part of the bands Sinergy and Northern Kings.[8]
Upon his arrival(到来) to Nightwish, several songs were written to contain duets(二重唱)with then(那时的) Nightwish vocalist Tarja Turunen, allowing songwriter and band leader Tuomas Holopainen to take advantage of Hietala's distinctive(优势的) raucous (粗厚雄浑的)voice to add a new dimension(方面) to the band. A famous example is Nightwish's cover of "The Phantom of the Opera," from the album "Century Child."

During Nightwish's shows, Turunen would take a break
halfway through the set(演出中场). Before Hietala joined the band, the band would perform an instrumental song during this time. Since Hietala joined the band however, they have performed covers of well-known songs, with Hietala singing the lead vocal part in this break. The band has performed Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train", W.A.S.P.'s "Wild Child", Dio's "Don't Talk to Strangers",Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" and most recently, Pink Floyd's "High Hopes". Some of these songs have been put up for sale as well on various(不同的) Nightwish album releases. Following Turunen's departure from Nightwish, Hietala was much more involved with the production of Dark Passion Play, which was released in September 2007. He sang some songs, completely, and
wrote the music for the song "The Islander", on which he also plays acoustic guitar instead of bass. Hietala is also credited alongside Holopainen for co-writing(共同写。。) the song "The Crow, the Owl and the Dove" from Nightwish's 2011 album, Imaginaerum.
In Delain, Hietala played the bass for the album Lucidity and was also the main male vocalist on the album. He is also featured as vocalist in two of the songs on Delain's second album April Rain.
In March 2009, Hietala joined the band Sapattivuosi. They cover Black Sabbath songs in Finnish.[9] In this band, however, Hietala does not play bass; he only performs vocals.
On April 1, 2010, it was said that Hietala would leave the band to
concentrate on(投身到) a choir career. This was identified (鉴定)as an April Fool's joke, but was also a reference(涉及) to his participation (参与)in Kuorosota (the localized Finnish version ofClash of the Choirs) in 2010. Hietala was the master of the Kuopio choir in the program's second season. He came second in the contest, losing in the finals to the Joensuu choir, headed by pop rock singer Ilkka Alanko. Tarot's single "I Walk Forever," from the Gravity of Light album, was performed for the first time by Marco, Tomi Salmela and the Kuopio choir during Kuorosota 2010; other songs performed included "The Phantom of the Opera," which Hietala has covered with Nightwish as well.
In June 2010, Hietala joined the heavy metal supergroup HAIL! on two occasions(场合), performing Black Sabbath's Neon Knights with Ripper Owens, Andreas Kisser, James LoMenzo and Paul Bostaph at two of their shows in Finland.[10]
On August 14, 2013, Hietala was the first singer to be confirmed by Arjen Lucassen to guest on Ayreon's new album The Theory of Everything.[11]

Influences 影响他的人与事
Hietala has stated(声明道) that the biggest influence on him as a bassist is Geezer Butler and Bob Daisley, while Ronnie James Dio and Rob Halford are his biggest influence as a vocalist. He has also stated that he listens to wide array of music(极言听音乐的数目之多) ranging “from really sensitive(敏感的) stuff(材料) to a lot of really hard stuff", saying that he "tend[s] to soak up almost everything(倾向于吸收各种事物)" which "somehow ends up being used【不知为何停止被使用(一些思想上的火花等等)】" when he writes his own music.
“ How is your musical taste towards metal music / other genres(流派)? ”
—Question on the official Tarot website (2006)
“ Anything works for me, if it's good enough. I'm mainly a metalhead, but I have this basic respect for any kind of music. Writing and listening music would become stale if I couldn't draw influences from other styles too.
任何音乐都对我有吸引力,如果它足够好的话。我大多是个金属头脑,但我有对任意一种音乐的最基本的尊重。如果我不能接受汲取其他音乐风格的影响,写歌与听歌也将变成一件陈腐无味的事。
