"Tarot is a Finnish metal band that has been around for a long time, and this disc is my first introduction to their music. And I have to say, this is very fine straight-up heavy metal! (Can Finnish metal be anything other than great? hehehee) For me, the highlight of this band is Marco Hietala. As many know, he is the singer for Nightwish on their last couple of albums, and that is how I got to know Tarot. Anyone who loves Marco's vocals on Nightwish should definitely pick this up. IMHO he is one of the best vocalists in heavy metal!
As for the price, yeah 38 dollars is insane!! You could order this from Europe yourself and even with the shipping and currency exchange it wouldn't be that much! So, look for a cheaper copy, and get it.

"Tarot is a wonderful, awesome metal band. Good, sharp metal without being 'screamy' - you can actually understand the singer's lyrics. I really love their version of Veteran of the Psychic Wars. I gave the CD four stars because $34 is a bit overpriced, so definitely check the Amazon marketplace for better deals (or go directly to their website! [...])"
Real metal lives on...

"This CD is awesome from the begining of the first song. Very heavy with excellent power in the rhythm guitars. The singer is a bit gruff but each song grows on you with each listen.Bass player from Nightwish is the band leader but you won't hear any ear piercing female vocals here. Recommended for fans of mid-paced good power metal."
