You’ve opened a Pandora’s box now 😊. Each album they come out with is different. It’s like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’ll get. Please do more of them.
It is not underestimated, it is known in all corners of the world, we know, because in other videos people of other languages and races send messages commenting on how much they admire this fantastic band. If you are referring to awards in the US, it is not important. They are a great band and their music is liked all over the world.
Noooo... its so overdone in reaction videos. So sick of seeing it 😂 Dreaming wide awake Alexander theatre sessions, or locking up the sun, or lift. One of the lesser played songs please! 😂
Carnival of rust is way overdone. Evan I don't want to see that so much anymore but the band keeps doing bangers, like all in Alan Wake 2 game. Herald of Darkness but that's already overdone by gamers so...dunno.
The look on your faces says it all. Inspiration comes from somewhere, you just have to know when to accept it. Thank you for your honest acceptance of this style of song. Stay real, guys!
Carnival of rust (both music video and live version is amazing), Lift, Late Goodbye, War, False Kings, My dark Disquite, Sleep, Moonlight Kiss, When do We Draw The Line, Skin. Also all of the Alexander theatre versions of the song are amazing so thats too ^^ Im a big fan of those guys
What made these sessions possible was COVID-19. This kind of classic venue with good acoustics and in the middle of Helsinki would be way too expensive on normal times, but because of the pandemic it was not and we got to enjoy the excellent acoustics of the hall this way. One of those times you don't need effects, you just mic the whole room.
Also I think we needed something like this here in Finland too as the start of the 'close down' was pretty depressing. The timing for these sessions couldn't ever been better!
Thanks for showcasing my favorite band! The piano is, I believe, a C7 model concert grand (based on my piano tuning knowledge). Make sure you watch the other Alexander Theatre Sessions. The band has a tremendous range and diversity of styles which they perform flawlessly, in my opinion. Don't neglect their music videos based on their studio albums. People typically begin with their "Carnival of Rust" music video which has won awards which will become obvious once you've seen it. Each band member is an excellent musician. Olli's guitar solos are out of this world, and Marko's falsetto work is extraordinary.
They made accoustic album of their songs in this AT-Sessions. Some songs/episodes include more instruments like violins, guitar and more. Worth to check the original songs and this live session in whole. Just bought the album myself.
Control (the video game by Remedy) featured 'Poets of the Fall' as the band 'Old Gods of Asgard' with a heavier song called 'Take Control' during the Ashtray Maze level. The 'Ashtray Maze' game level on its own is superb, with the 'Take Control' song by 'Poets of the Fall' taking it to the next level (pun intended).
The variant of the song in the game is dynamically adjusted to match the speed the player advances through the maze. If you advance really slowly, the song will have parts that repeat, if you play really fast, you might miss part of the guitar solo. The official variant has the "optimal" length: Old Gods of Asgard - Take Control (Lyric Video) ua-cam.com/video/k0QsHKH77MI/v-deo.html
@@MikkoRantalainen really want to play this game. I'm a gamer and a Potf fan, but I've never played any of the games potf have tracks in, shameful I know 😂
i remember when that max payne song coming first time finish radio,i think they come usa. awesome band who make game music and many songs who sounds like james bond music. every singer in finland who name is marko is somehow awesome :) thanx to great reaction and have wonderful day.
Don't forget The Alan Wake soundtrack(Old Gods Of Asgard) -they are an amazing band that cover so many types of styles. One of my all time favorite bands ever.
Great reaction. The theatre is named after Alexander II. It was built for the Russians living in Helsinki and it opened in 1880 during the time when Finland was an autonomous part of Russian Empire. Good thing about Finnish music scene is, that there's not really genre barriers as such. Good music is good music, good people mingle and people do what they enjoy. Like in this one, on which Tuomas Holopainen made a soundtrack for Scrooge's graphic novel: "TUOMAS HOLOPAINEN - A Lifetime of Adventure (OFFICIAL VIDEO)". It's fun to read an interview, in which Holopainen tells about a joyful trip to Disney World he made with Alexi Laiho. Both being Disney and theme park fans. Here's a kind of a Live Aid type of 20th anniversary good vibe song (in Finnish) for a Finnish metal festival illustrating how people come together: "Tuska20 - The Anniversary Song". And then there's this for the children of all ages: "Hevisaurus - 100". Naturally every year, if possible, Metal musicians go on a "Raskasta Joulua" (Heavy Christmas) Christmas tour: "Raskasta Joulua - Tulkoon joulu". Kind of who's who songs. I don't know, if you've already come across this one, but it crosses the genre lines: "Thunderstruck by Steve'n'Seagulls (LIVE)".
First time I’ve heard these guys. Great voice and great lyrics. Do they always do piano only instrumentation? I’d love it if they’d jumped into a hard rock arrangement about halfway through with an emotional heavy blues guitar solo, but that’s me. 🤷🏻♂️Be pretty sick though 😂. Overall it’s still a beautiful tune done well. 🤘🏼🎹🎼🎤😀✌🏼🔥
It's only several songs during these sessions, their range is diverse, but not too heavy. Melodies and lyrics are beautiful, though, I definetely recommend to listen to their misic :)
They usually do rock (electric guitars, occasionally with acoustic guitars + drums, bass & synth). They've made acoustic versions of some of their songs which are just amazing (I prefer the acoustic versions tbh but I'm a classical fan as well as a rock fan 😂).
Yep, nice reaction guys ! If you would like a nice full band concert !, please seriously consider their Moscow live Concert 2013, maybe start with Carnival of Rust, I must say that any song from this concert is very very good !!
Try a little older one of POTF .... (live) *_"Carnival Of Rust"_* : ua-cam.com/video/AGPpUTPzS6k/v-deo.html&ab_channel=PoetsoftheFall%28Official%29 And or other songs from their Alexander Theatre Sessions. (many more on UA-cam). Btw. Thanks for the reaction, they deserve more recognition. GREAT BAND.
I would give this request a hundred 👍's if I could, to get you to play this live version of Carnival of Rust (live in Moscow). Everyone wants reactors to listen to the official music video, which is very artistic and good, but I feel the video takes away from Marko's awesome voice and he adds some great ornamentation to his voice in this live version!!
Poets of the Fall - "LIFT" with Lyrics. (It's live in Moscow) Full band up-tempo pop rock song. Not as serious as most of their songs. Quite a good live band. Nice crowd involvement. Poets of the Fall - "DAZE" (Official Video) Marko has a very nice falsetto.
And Control 2 is in preproduction and highly probably will contain their music, too. If I could decide, the whole game would have music similar to "Take Control" in the first Control game.
14:27 Check them out as Old Guards of Asgard and hear how they can shred as well!! 💜🫶🏻🤟🏻 I found them on internet radio in 2006 and was told their genre was folk metal! 🤣 These guys can do it all! You need to check out some other Alexander Sessions too.
Finally, Finally PoftF❤❤. Thank you wery many! Just about any song Will do. Thank you Max Payne! I remember like yesterday, when they Released The first single and album. Dynamite and tears, only Poets and Marko can do that To you. The "other" Marko also. I highly recommend The Moscow Live show. Best Regards from Finland!
Many of their songs that I love have already been requested, but my favorite guilty pleasure is their live studio cover of the song "You Know My Name". Its the theme song from the James Bond movie "Casino Royale". They really seem to enjoy playing it and look great in their James Bond style tux's!! Here's the link...ua-cam.com/video/vcjZZIRRBNA/v-deo.html
Poets of the Fall is IMO grossly underrated because their (non-acoustic) music style would be right at home on radios of most of the Western world, but is a bit too non-metal for Finland.
I'm Finnish and POTF is my favorite Finnish band and Angel is the best from all of their songs. Thanks for doing this reaction 🤘🏽
You’ve opened a Pandora’s box now 😊. Each album they come out with is different. It’s like a box of chocolates…you never know what you’ll get. Please do more of them.
Yes! More Poets! They are so severely underrated as a band. You cannot go wrong with anything they’ve done.
It is not underestimated, it is known in all corners of the world, we know, because in other videos people of other languages and races send messages commenting on how much they admire this fantastic band.
If you are referring to awards in the US, it is not important. They are a great band and their music is liked all over the world.
@@blumeblume8690 Came to say the same, but you covered it! 😘
I agree 👌
Lift, Daze, Dancing on Broken Glass, and Requiem for My Harlequin.
Carnival of Rust, the music video please
And then the War music video.
Noooo... its so overdone in reaction videos. So sick of seeing it 😂
Dreaming wide awake Alexander theatre sessions, or locking up the sun, or lift. One of the lesser played songs please! 😂
Carnival of rust is way overdone. Evan I don't want to see that so much anymore but the band keeps doing bangers, like all in Alan Wake 2 game. Herald of Darkness but that's already overdone by gamers so...dunno.
The look on your faces says it all. Inspiration comes from somewhere, you just have to know when to accept it. Thank you for your honest acceptance of this style of song. Stay real, guys!
They also provide the music of the fictional band The Old Gods of Asgard in several Remedy games, including Alan Wake and Comtrol.
Love poets of the fall. Believe it or not my grandsons got me hooked on them❤
Carnival of rust (both music video and live version is amazing), Lift, Late Goodbye, War, False Kings, My dark Disquite, Sleep, Moonlight Kiss, When do We Draw The Line, Skin. Also all of the Alexander theatre versions of the song are amazing so thats too ^^ Im a big fan of those guys

Hi guys! Oh boy those Max Payde games all where good. I played them trough all, but this band from my country is great too...
POTF 💯👍🔥

Skilled as f.uck

Children of the Sun is a great choice for a more upbeat song of theirs, at least in the acoustic versions. Rebirth is also fantastic.
THe origina is more 80s electronic vibe this Theatre one is more for the soul than that but the normal one is superb too!
Check out their song war, whether it is the alezander theater version or the original.
The music Jealous God of this sessions...or any of the others...they are all good :). Or Hello Cabaret from the last album.
Check out "locking up the sun"
Please do reaction to poets of the fall jealous gods alexadre theatre sessions
They are a great band! I believe they self promote, produce and pay for everything. Sadly they only tour Europe
Carnival of Rust or the Poet and his Muse.
Poets of the Fall is IMO grossly underrated because their (non-acoustic) music style would be right at home on radios of most of the Western world, but is a bit too non-metal for Finland.
Old gods Of Asgard-Alan Wake if you want hard core rock from them.
Next: Carnival of Rust.
That yamaha piano isn't entry level tho 😅
I think these musicians need a technician to fix those rumbly mics of theirs. Very annoying, but other than that I enjoyed the vid.
Yamaha is not really entry level... This grand piano is serious sh*t ...
