I kinda knew you would appreciate the solo 😂 and pronouncing my name was okay 👍 correct way pronaunsing it (finnish way) would be with a long 'n' Nin-niJarv
Haha, l'm just listening their "Alexander theatre acoustic sessions". It's excellent. The Alexander theater is the former Finnish national opera house. Now there's a new and much bigger venue for that. And their pseudonym Old Gods Of Asgarth's "Rebirth" (Alan Wake) album is one of the best metal albums of the 2023.
@@Garbox80 l just bought it, and now l'm listening it about every day. As a Autumn person this hits me so hard. It's so beautifully melancholic and beautiful. And they have their own very nice touch of things and everything. ⛄👍
POTF is a seasoned and very versatile rock/hard rock band. This wonderful song is from the album "Ghostlight", which is my favorite of Finnish albums in 2022. ⛄👍
I wouldn't really call them rock/hard rock anymore. But I guess it all depends on the definition used. They don't really "rock" anymore. They're older stuff is closer to that.
@@BigFry9591 Well, we can now call them melodic rock, if we really need some genre boundaries. As a Autumn person l like the melancholy of their doings a lot. Their new Alan Wake -oriented Old Gods of Asgarth album "Rebirth" can be easily described as metal (without ugly screaming of course). But "tilulilulilu" -guitars there are almost enough.
I’m so impressed with your critic of Poets of the Fall !!! They are such an amazing band, and need so much more recognition here in the United States. If you’re not aware, they have an alter ego, Old Gods of Asgard, the fictitious band was created for a video game Alan Wake 1 &2. Check them out.
Thank you! I had never actually seen the music video for this song. It was really interesting. I love, love Marko's voice! And Poets have always such interesting stories. I have in the recent year fallen deeper and deeper into their music.
The song is about the tragedy of the harlequin (comedy of art, 15th century). He commits suicide out of heartbreak, but the Fates condemn him to entertain the public for money while his soul cries, performance after performance in an eternal loop. A metaphor for the actor trapped by his character. Nice song, it surprised me.
Lol @ rythmic theatrical metal 👌🏼 I saw them in Stockholm back in October. Marko has a beautiful voice, and their bassist was like an animated character on stage. They have an excellent catalogue of songs and their unplugged versions are just stellar. Great reaction, as always.
While browsing through different POTF-reactions on YT, I found that you've got the most interesting ones. Thorough, but not excessively. And ofc you seem to be fond of them, which helps. 😉I'm a Finn that forgot their music, shame on me, and just returned to hear more, and to learn how they have grown as musicians. Maybe you've heard of the Eurovision Song Contest? Each country sends their own representative through nationals. Well, rumors are circling that POTF might be finally interested. In the national contest, the winner will be chosen to represent Finland. Fingers crossed- a style close to this song is something that would definitely bring showmanship on stage. And that's what the contest is all about- a great song AND a great stage show. You can't have one without the other there.
I hadn't heard this before! Very POTF. I liked it. Thank you for the reaction, Eric ❤ Oh, in the beginning of the video there was a kitty. And right after that your eyes seemed to wander to the floor looking for Charlie/Midnight 😸❤️
couldn't add more to your description about Poets of the Fall. very well done! This is one of my favorites productions! It's not a song it's a production of ideas! Keep checking more about POTF. you will not be disappointed
There is some guitar solos more with "Old Gods of Asgard (aka POTF) - Herald of Darkness". Music is from "Alan Wake 2" game. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uxs_HYw_mLk.html
@@julle006 Honestly anything Old Gods is worth a listen to. Every song they've done is a banger. They really nail the old school rock vibe with some of those songs. The only down side is the songs are SO tied to being connected to the games, that I wonder if someone that doesn't play them with fully understand them. But regardless, stuff like 'Take Control' "Children of the Elder God" or "Balance slays the demon" are very much worth a listen to if nothing else (outside of Herald) since they're all the showstoppers of each game.
I love this song from the album "Ghostlight", however, my favorite song off of the album would have to be "Weaver of Dreams". It just hits me different. That said -- the entire album is outstanding -- just like every other Poets of the Fall album.
I sent a link on a text to a Family group text I occasionally share music on (I've sent Carnival Of Rust and the Alexander Theater version of Angel before), and my Mom said "The music reminds me of Meatloaf for some reason." The theatrical bit, I think. Mom's certainly not a rocker, (Simon and Garfunkle, are about her rockingest, though she likes "Like A Rock" by Bob Seger) but I thought it was funny she made that connection.
i think best 2 band what coming finland are poets of the fall and nightwish. thanx to great reaction and have wonderful day. difference this 2 band are that nightwish play in radio and poets not.
