Today Poets of the Fall is celebrating the release of their eight studio album, Ultraviolet!
The album has been two years in the making, but the band is also viewing it a different way; their keyboardist and producer commented that it can also be considered the result of everything that the band and done and learnt over the past decade and a half. Ultraviolet also has a different feel to the band's previous work, as they continue to explore with new genres and sounds under their new rebranded style.
The album is a fun and interesting collection of the work they've experimented with and created since the launch of Clearview, and shows signs of an evolution since the last release.
The new release can be bought on their official store, Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Record Shop X, or streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music Unlimited and YouTube. For full retail and streaming listings, visit their hub HERE.
A bit of information about the band's history: Poets of the Fall has had a long history with Remedy, which officially started back in 2003 with Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. For the game, POTF created their first song, Late Goodbye based on a poem by Sam Lake. Later, the band returned for Alan Wake, creating the custom songs The Poet and the Muse and Children of the Elder God. Their song War, from their album, Twilight Theater, also made an appearance in the game. Their latest project with the developers has been with Alan Wake's American Nightmare. Balance Slays the Demon was created specifically for the title, and The Happy Song (which also appeared in the album Temple of Thought) also appeared in the game. The song Labyrinth from their Clearview album was inspired by Quantum Break.
