Today Sam Lake announced that Remedy Entertainment's upcoming title, Control, will be featuring music from their long-time collaborators Poets of the Fall. The band has previously made music for Max Payne 2, Death Rally, and Alan Wake + Alan Wake's American Nightmare, where they also appear as the in-game band Old Gods of Asgard. Their song The Labyrinth is also a variation of a track originally written for Quantum Break.
In addition to new music, My Dark Disquiet from POTF's latest album will be making an appearance.

Isn't this exciting? Guys, this is exciting, right? Everyone else really wanted this too... right? Well, I'm excited

Poets of the Fall are back in Control. After working together on Max Payne 2 and Alan Wake, we are working together again on our upcoming title, Control, which features the Poets’ song My Dark Disquiet from the album Ultraviolet (2018), and something very, very special…

my god someone actually responded

I guess the real news here is that Poets of the Fall still exists on some level.

(admittedly I really haven't kept up with the Finnish pop scene in years, but I think I'd have at least seen their name somewhere in the past decade or so if they were in any way relevant)

Lol, I felt bad that you didn't get any traction. Free bump, under the guise of me being a twat, as usual.

they were never an international sensation, but they're still going strong. Still got world tours and Finnish-chart-topping albums

 

[ZeroZeroQuatre]

Nice, they're a great band.
And let's not forget their best song, featured on 3DMark 2005 :

As stated it's in part a matter of me not keeping up with the Finnish charts (am a Finn myself) - just that the name at least seemed to appear every now and then in newspapers or fliers. I guess they aren't completely dead.

 

[Fbh]

Cool.

I like their 2 songs from Alan Wake:






Looking forward to what they do for this one. (though with how weird that world seems to be I would have imagined something more like some weird progressive metal song or something)

give 'em another listen if they're your genre, maybe you'll like them as much as I do

War made me totally fall for this band, glad you like it too ty ty

 

[HotPocket69]

NICE

Love POTF. Got into them after hearing Late Goodbye on MP2

Their first couple albums are pretty solid, then it got a little inconsistent with too much slow shit and not enough rockers. I got hype though. Good to see them back with Remedy.

 

[Bonfires Down]

OOOOOOHH
CHILDREN OF THE ELDER GOD

 

[Chittagong]

Oh fuck yes. Poets of the Fall and Remedy games go well together. Hope they slip in some Kasabian for a good measure too.

 

[metareferential]

Great, Max Payne 2 wouldn't have been the same without this

 

[Husky]

new song "Take Control"
Nice!

 

[Thabass]

FUCK YES.

To me, this is a STAPLE of Remedy Games and I think it's one of the main reasons Quantum Break didn't resonate with me as much as their other titles. I'm a big Poets of the Fall fan because of Remedy. This is the best news.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Nice. I first heard them in Alan Wake and became a fan.

 

[spartan30gr]

Good decision.We love poets of the fall

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

new song "Take Control"
Nice!

Is this song in Control? Assuming it is because it’s called Control?

 

[Thabass]

For those who want listen to their new album:

Is this song in Control? Assuming it is because it’s called Control?

Yes. It's the secret song in the game, I think.

 

[Husky]

Is this song in Control? Assuming it is because it’s called Control?

It is!
Not sure if that's the only new song. Hope there'll be more. Can't get enough of POTF.

My Dark Disquiet is also in. It's in your OP.

Nice. Same here. They are one of my favorite groups ever. This makes me want Control even more.

I mean new music! ;p

 

[Thabass]

I mean new music! ;p

Ah I see. To be fair, My Dark Disquiet is new to me since I just found out they have a new album.

 

[Husky]

POTF says Take Control's in-game presentation offers an "interactive version." Something to do with the gameplay must alter the music I guess.

 

[Hero Of Gallowmere]

A bit off topic but James McCaffrey(the voice of Max Payne) is also in this game.

I think he is playing some minor character.

With him and Poets of the Fall coming back it kinda gives me a huge nostalgia boner.

That guy that voiced Alan Wake is in Control too,but I hate Alan Wake so I don't really give a shit.

Sam Lake explained that this song from Clearview was meant for Quantum Break, but did say "Silver lining: the version of The Labyrinth on Clearview is even better than the version we’d have used in Quantum Break." Definitely would've liked to hear it in-game anyway. I just expect to hear some new Poets in any Remedy title now

Ah so they tried at least. So, it's good to see they were going to keep the tradition alive.
