Los video games and rock music They have had a long love story since the 80s, with many mutual collaborations that have been memorable (we can remember games like Brutal Legends or the most current Metal: Hellsinger), but one of the collaborations of rock musicians in a video game that always What I found most curious is that of Old Gods of Asgardthe fictional band of Alan Wake universewhich has returned strongly with its sequel.
In the first video game Alan Wake, the one that came out exclusively for Xbox 360 in 2010, we already fell in love with this completely fictitious Nordic hard rock band that made its appearance in the game with posters, old records and cassette tapes that we found throughout the levels. The information about the group had its importance in the plot and in the protagonist and they even starred in a great level of fighting in the middle of a concert in what may be the best moment of the first game. But, in addition to all the information and paraphernalia of the group, we listened to their powerful songs. And, although the group is fictitious, their music is very real and behind it was the Finnish band ‘Poets fo the Falls’a band of which most of the members of Remedy Entertainment were big fans.
In the original soundtrack of that first video game included in the themes of Old Gods of Asgard, and were published under that authorship. ‘Children of the Elder God’ y ‘The Poet and the Muse‘ are two songs that have already gone down in the history of video games and that the guys from Poet of the Falls regularly included in their concerts. In addition, with the release of the remastering of the game, Alan Wake’s American Nightmares, an unreleased song by the group was included: ‘Balance Slays the Demon’.
Remedy included a new song by this fictional group, ‘Take Control’, in its video game Control, but we now know that both games, Control and Alan Wake, are immersed in the same fictional universe. And now, with the return of Alan Wake II, The mythical Old Gods of Asgard have returned with more strength.
The Alan Wake II original soundtrack includes up to seven spectacular themes Old Gods of Asgard (three of them completely new and followed by the Poets of the Falls guys) and the fictional band once again has an important presence in the game. You will be able to find their tapes throughout the scenarios and you will be able to listen to them in the game. Also and without going into spoilers, there is again a musical level where the player practically gets into a video clip of the group.
Behold, we bring to you the song titles of the upcoming Old Gods of Asgard album! ⚡️You’ll find some familiar names in there, as well as brand new ones… REBIRTH – GREATEST HITS is out on Dec 8th, and you can pre-order it NOW as a CD and vinyl at pic.twitter.com/7VxdJgtqKl
