WHAT! I just looked them up, I saw Old God’s of Asgard on Spotify but didn’t realize it was another band! I’m guessing Poets of the Fall came first? That’s awesome.
@@ItsRayGun Yep. Old Gods is their alter-ego 😊 Poets started around 2005 and Old Gods' drummer is actually Poets' keyboards. Olli plays lead guitar in Poets as in Old Gods. Poets also sing the ending song for Remedy game MAX PAYNE II and collaborated in CONTROL as you may know
@@ItsRayGun Poets of the Fall was kinda formed due to Remedy in the first place. They even released a track in Max Payne 2 (Late Goodbye) before releasing their first album.
@@ItsRayGun Even better. If you pay close attention you'll notice that the younger Odin in this part has the eyepatch on the opposite eye to the Odin Saga meets. There's an in game piece of lore that explains the reason for the discrepancy too.
Concerning the Eyepatch: As a Character identifying as one of the children favoured by Odin? Sure. The rl singer seems to like to dress up. Happy you like the game and this performance :) The lyrics said if Alan had seen his lady drown, he might have been able to save her(from the darkness of the lake). It is in reference to Alan Wake, the plot of the first game - mind you.
*looks up singer irl* I appreciate that! Definitely one of my favorite gaming moments this year. And you are totally right, I got super into it and forgot in that moment it was referencing the previous game. My memory of it is just so fuzzy 🤔
@@Dragonspoetofdeath13 years between the first and second. Most of the games in the Remedy Universe (Alan Wake, American Nightmare, Control, and Alan Wake II) are set roughly in the same year that they came out in. Though American Nightmare might be a but more dubious in terms of time setting.
It's the best sequence I've ever seen in a videogame. If you liked it and want more play Control if you haven't already, it has a bit like this (and arguably better gameplay than AW2)
Honestly, struggling to think of something better. So I played control way back when I had ZERO clue of any deeper lore (and I didn’t play the dlc, especially interested the AWE one). I think I want to give it and Quantum Break a shot :)
@@ItsRayGun Control's lore is all in the notes and item descriptions. It's basically SPC the game, and it ties in to Alan Wake's world. It's one of the few games where I've actively sought out every single collectable to get an idea of the world being depicted. The Dead Letters level is my favourite for this - everyone that sends a letter about something weird that doesn't conform to the real world results in their letter ending up in the Oldest House, and you get to read them. They even reference the Havana Syndrome as an altered world event.
To misquote a certain Ghost with the Most: I've seen it 167 times, and it keeps getting better every time i see it!
Haha! This^
5:53 This cool guy is actually the vocals from Poets of The Fall Finnish rock band. My freaking favorite band! ❤

Y’all are making my day with this info 🤯 getting a new appreciation for the game and that band. They’re legit good, too.
My favorite reaction to this. No fake commentary. No talking over it. Just authentic, jaw drop enthusiasm at how excellent it is.
Maybe the best moment of gaming last year. Glad you enjoyed it!
Director: “David. We need you to sing.”
David H (Mr Door): “Say no more I’m IN!”
6:33 The red-haired guy aimed at the black guy with a gun. Oh hardcore mode
Oh really? I didn’t know that!
The eye patch lost his eye in one of his fighth with darkness. In his youth Odín and Thor stop the dark presense various time
Whaaa! I need to know more about this haha
@@ItsRayGun me too the game explore the pass of family Anderson tho Litle , thing like Odín have visión of future of the powers the family have
@@ItsRayGun Even better. If you pay close attention you'll notice that the younger Odin in this part has the eyepatch on the opposite eye to the Odin Saga meets. There's an in game piece of lore that explains the reason for the discrepancy too.
That’s a next level observance haha! I am so looking into this^
Watch the lady of lore for the truth is twisted in knots
The choreography is so perfectly uncomfortable to make this still seem unsettling the entire time.
EXACTLY
using your flashlight takes their shields down and staggers them! That's the benefit
Hey, thanks for this! I appreciate it!

@@ItsRayGun Understandable. Was it 15 years between those games? Anyway I am happy to have helped a little ^^

@@Xudmud Thanks for that correction. I must confess that I do not play them and am generally bad at knowing times, dates etc.
The second guitarist is Balder he died in 1980 in New York I think he's a deity guiding you out of the darkplace
Woah!!! Gonna look into this
8:06 me too
Played this yesterday and I too went "Nooo I dont want it to end!!!" at the end of the first section and went "Yaaay!!" when it continued.
I had this exact experience in my head while playing haha

Okay im convinced, im giving it another shot 🤯
Vaya puta maravilla. Ese momento fue perfecto.
Wake....John Wake
lol! Precisely
This guy's smart
Can’t tell if this is sarcasm or not 😁
I think these taken in this segment are different and weakened by the show.
The show?? Sorry just not following
@@ItsRayGun The script for the musical, it was written by one of the Bookers.
