REVIEW: Tarot - Suffer Our Pleasures Spinefarm Records, 2003
7.5/10
Tarot - Suffer Our Pleasures - cover art Tarot is one of the oldest and most famous heavy metal bands of Finland and during the first chart week, their new album "Suffer Our Pleasures" reached spot #10 on the Finnish album chart. The band has never hit it off big internationally as of yet though but now they hope to change that with the new album, a record deal with Spinefarm Records and band founder Marco Hietala having joined Nightwish full time. Tarot returns from a several years long break resulting from Nigthwish activities, Janne Tolsa's recording / mastering studio as well as studies and family obligations of the band members. "Suffer Our Pleasures" is a little more aggressive and straight-forward than their previous releases and it is a very coherent solid album that will probably please most old fans of the band. While performing old-school heavy metal the music still has a modern feeling with some progressive touches, semi-oriental rhythms and keyboards used in very cool and unusual ways. If you like old Queensrÿche, Nevermore and Grave Digger then there is a big chance that Tarot is for you. "Suffer Our Pleasures" is a heavy and intense album and once again we get the chance to enjoy the powerful vocals from Marco. There are no tracks that really stick out from the rest in my opinion but instead it is yet another solid quality release from these heavy metal veterans.
