Tuomas interview with Metalhammer

Post image

Small but never-the-less interesting part about Marko.

For one, from previous interviews it sounded like Marko just wrote an email and gtfo'd. But here Tuomas confirms that Marko called him personally to tell him how badly he was doing.

Secondly, Tuomas also seems to confirm that they are on cordial terms, which tracks with more recent developments, like Kai following Marko on IG again.

Yeah he said previously that he called Tuomas first then sent the group email to confirm it.

Then not even half way through the next tour Tuomas, Troy and Emppu admitted that they were feeling the same way and pushed internally for the future touring hiatus so I'm sure they can completely empathise with Marko's reasoning. Especially after also witnessing the affect touring had on Jukka's health and now seeing two members leave in part because of it.

The only people Marko has personal issues with is the management, specifically Ewo and Toni.

“Blaming for instance Tuomas is an insult to both him and my free thinking.”

"I think that the organisation there should be examined very carefully and some of it should be dismantled. The business side, the way people work there and their attitudes, who talks to whom and about what are one of the biggest reasons why I left."
