Musicians react to hearing Poets of the Fall - Angel (Alexander Theatre Sessions )! 

Carnival of Rust, the music video please

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.

They also provide the music of the fictional band The Old Gods of Asgard in several Remedy games, including Alan Wake and Comtrol.

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.

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

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.

Try a little older one of POTF .... (live) *_"Carnival Of Rust"_* : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AGPpUTPzS6k.html&ab_channel=PoetsoftheFall%28Official%29 And or other songs from their Alexander Theatre Sessions. (many more on RU-vid). Btw. Thanks for the reaction, they deserve more recognition. GREAT BAND.

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).

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. 🤘🏼🎹🎼🎤😀✌🏼🔥

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.

Lift, Daze, Dancing on Broken Glass, and Requiem for My Harlequin.

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)".

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.

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!

Thanks for your great reaction 😄 Marko and the band are awesome!❤ Greetings from Finland, the birthplace of Poets of the Fall 🤗

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.

They also made music to the game Alan Wake. Alan Wake II coming on Septemper.

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 !!

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...ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vcjZZIRRBNA.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.

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.

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...

I miss marko. he was my friend and I haven't seen a nipple in years.He great man.My brother's son's godfather❤

Yamaha is not really entry level... This grand piano is serious sh*t ...

They are a great band! I believe they self promote, produce and pay for everything. Sadly they only tour Europe

One of my favourite songs, goosebumps every time I listen to it. Subbed for Ayreon and POTF, in hope for more to come

Old gods Of Asgard-Alan Wake if you want hard core rock from them.

I'm going to se the poets in Stockholm in october. A masterclass band for sure. Thank you for a great reaction.

Great band Thankyou for sharing your reaction next try carnival of rust .

First time watching one of your videos and it's of my favorite band. Thank you.

Skilled as f.uck

The music Jealous God of this sessions...or any of the others...they are all good :). Or Hello Cabaret from the last album.

I think these musicians need a technician to fix those rumbly mics of theirs. Very annoying, but other than that I enjoyed the vid.

THe origina is more 80s electronic vibe this Theatre one is more for the soul than that but the normal one is superb too!

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.

POTF 💯👍🔥

Good Green Screen.

Next: Carnival of Rust.

Carnival of Rust or the Poet and his Muse.

Check out their song war, whether it is the alezander theater version or the original.

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!
