Formed in the mid-'80s by the Hietala brothers as Purgatory, these Finnish power metallers changed their name to Tarot upon securing a record deal. Their early sound was very comparable to that of Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. After their second album, Tarot took a five-year break during which guitarist Mako H. left the band and keyboardist Janne Tolsa joined. The band returned to the studio and in 1993 released To Live Forever, their sound now more akin with Whitesnake and Tesla. After the release of For The Glory Of Nothing, bass player and co-founder Marco Hietala became invovled with a couple of well-known acts - Nightwish and Sinergy. This association has brought more attention to Tarot, of course, who's dark and aggressive power metal can best be compared to that of bands such as Angel Dust.
