Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall have released nine studio albums, two live albums, four compilation albums, one video albums, one extended play, 23 singles, and 24 music videos (including the ones released as Old Gods of Asgard). Poets of the Fall was formed in Helsinki, in 2003 by Marko Saaresto (lead vocals), Olli Tukiainen (lead guitar), and Markus Kaarlonen (keyboards, production). Jani Snellman (bass), Jaska Mäkinen (rhythm guitar) and Tapio (drums) were later recruited as touring members, and in 2006, with the replacement of Tapio with Jari Salminen (lead vocals), the three were added to the band's official lineup.
The band is known for their partnership with video game developers, most notably, with Remedy Entertainment, having written songs for Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (2003), Alan Wake (2010), Alan Wake's American Nightmare (2012), Control (2019), and Alan Wake 2 (2023), the latter four under the pseudonym Old Gods of Asgard.
