A steady Finnish metal band since 1985, with a catalog that includes 'Follow Me Into Madness' and 'Crows Fly Black'.
For a quick sense of Tarot, try 'Back In The Fire' or 'Dancing On The Wire', they're good examples of their no-fuss metal sound.
Tarot matters because they've been a constant in Finnish metal since the mid-'80s, outlasting trends with a solid run of albums. Songs like 'Back In The Fire' and 'Dancing On The Wire' show their knack for straightforward, heavy tracks that stick around. They're not flashy, but their persistence through lineup shifts, like Tommi Salmela taking over vocals in 2003, makes them a reliable name in the scene.
They started in 1985 with Marco Hietala on vocals, then saw changes like Janne Tolsa joining on guitar in the '90s. Over the years, they put out records from 'Follow Me Into Madness' in 1988 to 'The Spell of Iron MMXIX' in 2019, keeping a steady pace without big breaks.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
