Bio:
Finnish rockers Poets of the Fall - singer Marko, guitarist Olli and keyboardist Captain - started out their musical adventure from scratch in 2003. Marko sold everything he had to invest in pursuing the love of his life, music, with his buddies Olli and Captain. He moved into his folks' basement, when he couldn't keep a place of his own any longer. The guys then built a little studio of their own in Captain's living room for the recording and producing sessions, and kept an office in Olli's beat up old car. The result of the recording sessions was a novel blend of pop, rock, metal and industrial sounds. Later the guys were joined by guitarist Jaska, bassist Jani and drummer Jari.The band's first single was Late Goodbye, written for the acclaimed computer game Max Payne 2. Reaching millions of people through the game, the song went number one in Finland, and earned the guys international recognition and the first prize at the G.A.N.G. Awards in 2004.Their debut album Signs of Life went straight to #1 on the Finnish album chart in January 2005, and stayed on the chart for over a year. The next album Carnival of Rust, released in April 2006, also hit the number one spot on its first week, with the debut album still on the official Top 40 chart. To date, both albums have sold platinum in Finland. The third album Revolution Roulette was released in March 2008. It also took the first place on the album chart, and broke the gold record limit in just a couple of weeks after its release. The fourth album Twilight Theater, released in March 2010, sold gold in one week, and made Finnish chart history by giving the band four number one places with their first four albums.The singles and videos released from the albums have received lots of plays on radio, TV and the net. The song Carnival of Rust was the most played Finnish song in 2006, and the first single Dreaming Wide Awake from Twilight Theater spent several weeks among the top songs on national radio and TV. War, the second single from Twilight Theater, is featured in the blockbuster game Alan Wake. The game also has two completely new songs, performed as the in-game band Old Gods of Asgard.
Among others, Poets of the Fall has received the following awards:
* Best Finnish Act at MTV Europe Music Awards 2006

Album:
Poets of Fall, one of Finland's most successful rock bands for over a decade, are proud to announce their new album 'Jealous Gods'.The history of Poets Of The Fall goes back till 2003. It was vocalist Marko Saaresto and Olli Tukiainen (g) that started the band, by way a Finish one. But you probably figured out this already by reading the names. By thinking about Finish bands Poets Of The Fall are probabaly closer to Sunrise Avenue than to Waltari.The interesting thing with the band is the fact how they started. It was a friend of Tukiainen who handed in a poem and asked to turn it into a song. The tune should be used in a video game. Things became real and "Late goodbye" became the ending theme of the game.As time went by the band released several albums and also got pretty much well known, esp. in Finland.Now their sixth album called "Jealous god" is in the pipeline and will be released on September 19. It comes with eleven songs which are melodic rock song with a bigger keyboard contribution. It's soft rock which is build on big melodies and catchy hooks. Since it is easy-listening music it's not a surprise that the band is pretty successful. But "Jealous gods" fortunately never gets too cheesy. All their songs have a certain standard which they never fall under.The album starts with the first single release "Daze" which a very representative tune on the album. It is a smooth rock song in which the melody stands in focus. It's not rocking hard, but the charme is the catchiness.Poets Of Fall 'can also instrumentals'. "Rogue" shows this a good way. It's a cool non-vocals song of four minutes that puts the guitar harmonies into focus. It's a perfect moment for the six-string to sing.But it becomes also very much pop in tracks like "Choice millionaire" - a tune that combines Fancy and the Pet Shop Boys in one song. For me a step too far.The more rock tracks on the album are e.g. "Brighter than the sun". It remind in parts to Nickleback; just better.Ballads on such an album? Sure. "Nothing stays the same" is the name. Another one is entitles "Rebirth". Of course a ballad stays a ballad, but they fit into the context of the other songs pretty well. They are touching but not too much of 'heard before'.All in all the guys from Finland added with "Jealous gods" an album to their discography that isn't bad, but it also could rock a bit more. It's partly too soft and too much made for success. Fortunately the sound of Poets Of The Autumn never drifts away into painfulness. That helps.
