Alan Wake 2 Rocks: Reacting to 'Herald of Darkness' by Old Gods Of Asgard Metal Musical!

[@rodrigomendes3327]

This is a MASTERPIECE. Only people that enjoy the game knows how bad ass was that part!!! Amazing video!

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

I absolutely loved the song, and I will have to play the game now to get the full experience of it. ❤️

[@lumivalkea]

This song is a retelling of the story from the first Alan Wake game, delivered in an incredible way to bring new players who may have gone straight to Alan Wake II up to speed. Old Gods of Asgard have released an entire album called Rebirth with music they have made for Remedy's games, I heartily recommend checking it out. Take Control (from Control) and The Poet and the Muse (from the first Alan Wake) are my favorite tracks.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Cool. I’ll have to. Heck out both more Old Gods and also Poets Of The Fall. ❤️

80's metal and goofy Nordic humour probably makes Alan Wake 2 the most Finnish game ever made. Old Gods of Asgard is the alter ego name of Poets of the Fall. A Finnish rock band. OGoF is an in universe band in Remedy Entertainment's game universe, where they have featured in both Alan Wake and Alan Wake 2 as well as Control. Though they also made the end credits song for Max Payne 2. They also used vocalist Marko Saaresto's likeness for a character in the first Max Payne.

That’s so cool, I did think they looked familiar. I’ve heard some of Poets. ❤️ I love what they did here, everything from the metal musical to the jazzy end. So good ❤️

[@TrondSolberg]

There is no greater performance than this! Alan Wake and Control redefined music in games.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

@TrondSolberg can’t wait to get around to the games. Loved the suggestion ❤️❤️

@@ThalesMusicCorner You need to check the band Poets of the Fall

[@-breakofdawn-]

I love it that they wrapped up their 2023 20th anniversary tour with the game awards performance that was perfectly timed with the release of their OGOA album ”Rebirth”. What a way to end the year and the celebration. Great reaction, looking forward to more. I’m always happy to see reaction videos that really appreciate their art and insane skill.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoy my reactions. :) More of both Old Gods and Poets are on my list, so definitely more coming

[@IamXhedo]

It would be great if you reacted to their live performance at the Game Awards. It's an abridged version of the song where Alan's physical actor (Ilkka Villi) performs while Alan's voice actor (Matthew Porretta) sings. It's quite great.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Sadly for the channel my friend showed it to me after I'd seen this one, so I can't really do an honest reaction to it now. But it really is great.

[@IamXhedo]

@ThalesMusicCorner that"s a bummer, but that"s okay. Glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for responding.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

No worries. I do try to go through all my comments ❤️

[@Shirakawa2007]

I really loved your reaction! And I'd love to see more reactions to songs from the real band behind Old Gods of Asgard, Poets of the Fall! Best regards from Argentina!

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

I’m glad you enjoyed. Definitely more of them coming. Both as Old Gods Of Asgard and Poets Of The Fall. ❤️😊

[@lexiette8343]

From the same game, they made Anger's Remorse and Dark Ocean Summoning, both Bangers, worth checking out I think

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Awesome, I'll definitely check out more of them as well.

[@patrickbluml7163]

Don‘t forget The Poet and the muse😉

[@anterohoo7554]

Lovely reaction! Old Gods of Asgard is great, but so it´s Poets of The Fall. Old Gods are more like 70´s and 80´s cheesy but good metal band and Poets are more... Well, poetic. :) I love the both!

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. Going to check both of their stuff, as Old Gods and as Poets. Really looking forward to it.

[@anterohoo7554]

[@anterohoo7554]

And it´s the same band?!?!? Here´s also one nice example of the Poets of the Fall: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ7Tlqmrh5ZpapY

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Awesome, thanks. I’ll check them out. ❤️☺️

[@anterohoo7554]

And they could be quite "softies" too... Cradled in love (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKGTcnuHpNSJibs ). Thank you for you nice channel & reactions!

Goofy. It will take a lot more than two listens for this one. 👍👍😍😍

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

Absolutely, and I’m way past that now 😅😅

[@Finkele1]

I thought the game was masterpiece and i hated it so much at same time, Like trivial shit...maybe that ruined it or i wasn't just that smart.

[@ThalesMusicCorner]

It'll be interesting to see what I think of them. :)

[@Finkele1]

@@ThalesMusicCorner I'm finnish so i got all of it + everybody knows usa things. Remedy haven't ever pushed finnish culture that way, like to your throat. Even i felt uncomfortable with it. Too much is too much.. it supposed to be game for everybody. Audio visual masterpiece but yea...lol
