Feb 2022 - I discovered this song in the Acoustic Lab in Research in Control. After listening to it several times I then googled the song and was delighted to find out about the band. I had never heard of them before, but now I want to hear more, more, more! I was also excited to hear about their history with Remedy games - which I am intending to play shortly (Control is the first Remedy game I've played much of). I remember the second time I found myself back in Research within the game, for several minutes I panicked as I couldn't find the lab where I had listened to that awesome song lol. I made it a priority to know the exact location of the lab ever since!

Their cooperation with Remedy was IMO the best thing they did, it gave them some much needed exposure, their contributions to Control were fantastic (both My Dark Disquiet and the aptly named Control), after all that's how I found them. Hope there is at least one more song for them in the upcoming Control DLCs.

I’m so thrilled to see this band becoming more well known. Some say Alan Wake, some say Control. Try Max Payne 2 back in 2003. The lead singer Marko and Sam Lake have been collaborating artistically for a great number of years. Marko portrayed “Vladimir Lem” in the first Max Payne. He also did the voice for narration on “Address Unknown” in the motel room when you’re walking through to get to Vinnie.

At this point Marko is flexing with his creepy smiling character. We need to see that immortalised in a form of a final boss or a movie character.

A lot of us feel that way. There's a fb group Marko Saaresto for the next bond villain, I think he would be a perfect, creepy fit.

[@thehound5197]

But would you want to kill him if he was a final boss? Personally, I have too much respect for him to kill him even in a virtual world. Unless he was a really evil bastard who killed my wife and my daughter like in the first Max Payne. Then I would have to blow his brains out. lol

Interesting contrast from False Kings' imagery where False Kings focused on the outward appearance and the right side of the face while the scarred half would show up here and there, but this focuses on the left side of the face with the white eye/scars and rarely shows the other half.

[@LaurenRichardsEvans]

It is a political and religious symbolism. Blindness in the right eye symbolises the blindness of right-wing ideologies; false kings are afflicted with wealth, capitalism, corruption by money. In a religious context, it is blindness by believing they are acting in the name of God, even if their actions harm innocent people. Blindness in the left eye reflects the blindness is left-wing ideologies, which extend out to national socialism and communism, where they controlled by people in censorship, and what is said in the mass media about them. In a religious context, antitheism is as equally destructive because it spreads hatred against anything different, similar to literalist religious person.

Is it an allusion to Neil Gaiman's story? I'm not sure about that one. 6) The dancers also reminded me of Carnival of Rust. 7) Jani standing there alone reminded me of Cradled In Love video.

Ihana biisi, tuttua ja taas erilaista. Rakastan tätä vähän mystistä ja ehkä melankolista soundia. Toisaalta sieltä aina löytyy se ilon pirskahdus. On hienoa olla suomalainen, kun on näin upeita muusikoita meillä. Kiitos, thanks, tack. muchas gracias, danke schön !

Here from Control as well, I love it when amazing games bring me to amazing bands and music! You guys are awesome!

[@pk2237]

Curious to see what they will associate with this song. I have always seen it as a part of continuum between Daze and False kings. Cannot wait regardless what happens, it is my fav piece from the album

[@DarthCraigos89]

It's taken inspiration from the game control which this song is in and the alter ego version of this band also did a song

[@pk2237]

You are right, the phone is a giveaway. However, I think this has some connections to other POTF production as well, not only to Control:) that is what I meant. Of course it makes sense they connected the song and the game together

[@pk2237]

Also, my first comment was written before the actual premiere :)

[@chiffmonkey]

@@pk2237 Yeah, when they perform as PotF not Old Gods of Asgard for Remedy games it's because there is an overlap of purposes. You can quite clearly see this with the plot continuation between the videos for Dreaming Wide Awake and War.

[@pk2237]

@@chiffmonkey Yes, that is correct. OGOA and POTF are seperate. What an interesting point of view you have regarding the storyline, would you mind to elaborate? :D As stated above I see the storyline differently but hey, that is what makes art and music so fascinating! There are as many interpretations as there are viewers/listeners to each piece, and I love it

[@Sanguine_Rose]

This is my favorite band! Now I know it for sure! After all, no other voice appeals to me so much positive emotions and so much warmth. No, seriously, I seem to be listening to some kind of dear person whom I love very much. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the songs of this group are with me, starting with Max Payne, ending with Control, but i think it's because Marko. His voice seems to have light, kindness, simplicity.. I think, he is good man and this is reflected in his songs. I hope that everything will be fine with you guys and you will always be happy and continue give us happiness!

The freshest hotline call, straight to the directors ear.

[@boboida1]

im so glad poets of the fall continue this relationship with remedy, amazing content, both the game and the song.

[@rileyzidel3693]

I found out about this band after playing control!!

[@kressnik]

Now go and play Max Payne 1 and 2, and Alan Wake + American Nightmare. NOW!

[@rileyzidel3693]

@@kressnik just started Alan wake tonight actually!!

[@Rakumei672]

Nice! You'll hear them there too. I'm glad Control is causing more people to retroactively play AW. Now we got more voices to pressure for a sequel lol.

[@papercut89]

Welcome to the growing family ☺️ this band will give your love back thousandfold and will surprise you in so many ways.

[@kressnik]

@@Rakumei672 not only hear)

[@schishne7546]

thank you control, this song is not just an altered object but an object of power for me and i will use it...my way

[@DragonMasterThlayli]

Brilliant video! I love how everything's connected - this feels like it's part of the same world as False Kings, Daze, Choice Millionaire, Moonlight Kissed and possibly a few from the Twilight Theater album. I'm still figuring stuff out. That's what I like about Poets - you listen and enjoy the songs as a whole first, then start searching for deeper meaning and cryptic clues in the videos.

[@BehindYouBoo]

I just wanted to pop in to say, that ever since I found you guys 8-10 years ago, whenever I’m feeling low, and melancholy, I always end up listening to you lovelies’ songs; and everything feels ok for a few minutes. Thank you for that.

[@sang01me]

KZbin recommended Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall because I frequently listen to The Rasmus and also listened to one song by Sunrise Avenue. Now I am hooked to songs by PotF. The songs are amazing!

[@stephsnider]

There's something about the tone of his voice that gives me literal goosebumps all over my body *every* time I hear him sing anything... it's sooooo gooooood... *shutters*

[@ChristinaNelsonSmith660]

Good to know I'm not alone. The man is an artistic God..

[@dv2962]

I seriously think that his voice resonates at a certain frequency or something that just absolutely affects people. Or does me, at least! I've never experienced it with any other singer before, that I've noticed. It's so bizarre.

[@poltergeistpanda701]

get used to it. Thats these guys for you^^

[@stephsnider]

PoltergeistPanda oh yeah i been listening for a long time but it still hits every time!

[@billybifocals]

Ha, I love that he's on the hotline to the Board. Control is an incredible, thought provoking game.

[@BladesAndDiamonds]

Poets Of The Fall will always be one of the best bands ever. ❤️❤️❤️

[@JoyceAiman]

Marko we want more songs with that voice of yours.. please.

[@TrackZero]

I wish I could upvote this again, one of the greatest songs to me. Thanks Poets for doing what you do.

[@thaysabal6377]

Late Goodbye - Max Payne War - Allan Wake My Dark Disquiet - Control These games have the same producers and music There are Poets of the fall...That's amazing

[@MatthewAshworth]

Marko can play so many different roles so well. We had a jester, a mime, a James Bond like figure, a futuristic TV star, a ghost, and now we also have a crime boss.

[@waterblonk]

Matthew Ashworth and a criminal

[@MatthewAshworth]

@@waterblonk Yes. I've missed quite a few roles.
