Old Gods Of Asgard

Finnish rock band with a mythological twist

Old Gods of Asgard is a fictional band created for the video game "Alan Wake," developed by Remedy Entertainment. The band serves as a narrative element within the game, with its music contributing to the atmosphere and storytelling. The members of Old Gods of Asgard are portrayed by the real-life Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall, who perform the songs attributed to Old Gods of Asgard. These songs often contain lyrical references and themes that tie into the game's plot, involving darkness, light, and the struggle of the protagonist. While Old Gods of Asgard does not exist outside of the "Alan Wake" universe, Poets of the Fall have released music under their own name and have a separate and successful career in music with several albums to their credit. The collaboration between Remedy Entertainment and Poets of the Fall extends beyond "Alan Wake," as they have also contributed music to other games developed by Remedy, such as "Control."
