Poets of the Fall (POTF) is a Finnish rock band from Helsinki. The group consists of Marko Saaresto (lead vocals), Olli Tukiainen (lead guitar), Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen (keyboards, production),[1] Jani Snellman (bass), Jaska Mäkinen (rhythm guitar), and Jari Salminen (drums, percussion).

The band is known for their partnership with video game developers, most notably with Remedy Entertainment, having written songs for Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (2003), Alan Wake (2010), Alan Wake's American Nightmare (2012), Control (2019), and Alan Wake 2 (2023), the latter four in a much heavier style and under the pseudonym Old Gods of Asgard.

History

[edit]

2003–2005: Formation and Signs of Life

[edit]

The band was founded on 25 April 2003 by Saaresto and Tukiainen.[2] Tukiainen had written multiple songs for Saaresto's previous band Fuss and performed with Finnish jazzband Pohjoinen Syke previously.

In 2003, Saaresto's friend Sami Järvi, a script-writer working at Remedy Entertainment handed Saaresto a poem he had written, asking him to turn it into a song to use in Remedy's video game Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. The song, entitled "Late Goodbye", was used as the ending-theme of the game as well as a recurring motif, being sung and whistled by multiple characters. It was produced by Markus "Captain" Kaarlonen, who joined the band shortly after due to Saaresto and Tukiainen admiring his work.[3] In order to have creative freedom and full control over the band, the members founded their own independent record label, Insomniac, which they have been releasing all their albums through ever since.

On 30 June 2004, Poets released their debut single "Late Goodbye" in Finland which was followed by "Lift" on 9 September 2004.[4][5] The music videos for both songs were directed by Tuomas "Stobe" Harju. The songs charted #14 and #8 on the Finnish single charts and reached #2 and #7 in YleX's 2004-voting for "Best Finnish song". POTF were also voted "Fresh Newcomer of 2004" by YleX.[6]

On 18 December 2004, the band released a song "Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day" as a free download on their website to promote their then-upcoming debut album Signs of Life.[7] The album was released on 19 January 2005 in Finland, followed by an iTunes release on 25 May 2005.[8] It entered the Finnish Top 40 album chart at #1 and has been certified platinum by the Finnish IFPI.[9] It won the Emma Award for the "Best Debut Album of the Year 2005" with the band also receiving the "Best Newcomer of the Year" award. The songs "Stay" and "Illusion and Dream" were used as promotional radio singles. Due to Kaarlonen being a former employee of benchmark-developer Futuremark, POTF were offered to have their song "Lift" included in the 2005-iteration of Futuremark's benchmarking software 3DMark, which helped further promote the album. In 2005 POTF performed at Popkomm in Berlin.[10]

2006–2009: Carnival of Rust and Revolution Roulette

[edit]

Having won the NRJ Radio Awards' "Best Finnish Breakthrough", POTF released their third single, "Carnival of Rust", on 22 March 2006 in Finland and on 1 December 2006 in Germany.[11][12] The single entered the Finnish charts at #2 and features a radio- and an album-edit as well as a live-recording of "Don't Mess With Me", the fourth track on Signs of Life, from the band's performance at Rockperry Festival, Vaasa, Finland on 15 July 2005.[13] On 30 March 2006, the band released the music video for "Carnival of Rust" which shows a gas-masked woman visiting an old carnival, and also references every song from the band's second album of the same name. The video became hugely popular in Finland, winning two Muuvi Awards and the YLE Audience Choice Award as "Best Finnish Music Video of All Time". It was also voted "Best Music Video 2006" by The Voice.[14][15][16] In 2009, it was remastered by Elmeri Raitanen as his bachelor-thesis in visual and media arts at Lahti Institute of Design and reissued in HD.[17]

On 12 April 2006, Poets' second album Carnival of Rust was released in Finland, and later in Sweden, Australia, Ukraine, Russia, Germany, and on iTunes.[18][19][20] It includes 11 new songs, a remastered version of "Maybe Tomorrow is a Better Day", as well as the music video for the title track.[21] The cover, which sees the return of the lollipop from the first album, was designed by Tuomas Harju. Carnival of Rust also went straight to #1 on the Finnish charts.[22] It has been certified platinum.[9] It was selected as one of the best albums 2006 by Finland's largest newspaper, Helsingin Sanomat, and was nominated for NRJ Radio Awards' "Best Finnish Album" and Emma Awards' "Best Rock Album" in 2007.[23][24][25]

In 2008, POTF redesigned their moth-logo and also changed the font used to display their band name. They also participated in the Voice's CD compilation Livenä Vieraissa, with a cover version of Chris Cornell's song "You Know My Name", and their own song "Diamonds for Tears".[26] The same year, POTF signed Phoenix Effect, the band of former Sunrise Avenue-guitarist Janne Kärkkäinen to their label, Insomniac, and produced their debut album Cyanide Skies with Saaresto / Tukiainen performing additional vocals and guitar work. The album was released on 18 February 2009 in Finland and entered the Finnish album charts at #22.[27][28] POTF also make a cameo-appearance in the video to Phoenix Effect's song "King See No Evil".

Poets of the Fall released their next single called "The Ultimate Fling" in Finland on 6 February 2008.[29] It features three variations of the title track (a radio-edit, an album-edit and an impromptu-version) as well as a live recording of "Fire", the opening track of the band's second album Carnival of Rust which was recorded during the Poets' performance at Ankkarock Festival 2007 on 5 August.[21][30] The single charted at #2 in the Finnish singles chart.[31] Months after the release of the single, the band published the accompanying video which consists of fan-recorded footage of the band performing at various gigs.

The band's third album, Revolution Roulette, was released in Finland and on iTunes on 26 March 2008. Its cover was designed by Tuomas Harju and features a giant padlock with a built-in roulette, abandoning the lollipop used on the previous album-covers. The record marks the first POTF-album not produced in Markus Kaarlonen's living-room, but the band's own professional studio. It went straight to the top of the Finnish charts and was certified gold two weeks after being released.[32] The album's title track was also released as a promotional radio single.[21] Revolution Roulette is currently the only POTF album that has not been released physically outside Finland. While on tour with the album, the band played their first gig in the United States at Musexpo 2008 in Los Angeles on 29 April.[33] On 18 September 2009, the band released a "Best of"-compilation in India.[34]

In mid-2009, after finishing the Revolution Roulette Tour, POTF announced they would be heading into the studio to record their fourth album, the genre of which they described as "cinematic rock".[35][non-primary source needed] On 9 December 2009, the band announced a song "War" from their fourth studio album would be featured in a psychological thriller video game Alan Wake developed by Remedy Entertainment. Along with "War", Alan Wake also features two new songs, "Children of the Elder God" and "The Poet and The Muse", which were written specifically for the game and performed by Poets of the Fall as the in-game band Old Gods of Asgard. In June 2010, the band released a video for "War" (despite it being only a promotional radio single) which reenacts scenes from the game in live-action. It features Finnish actor Ilkka Villi as the game's protagonist of the same name (Villi also served as the model used for the creation of the Alan Wake character) and the band, except Saaresto. In the video, the band portrays some of Alan Wake's in-game antagonists, lumberjacks possessed by an evil force named "the Dark Presence", collectively called "the Taken".

2010–2014: Twilight Theater, Temple of Thought and Jealous Gods
