For fans new to the Alan Wake series and community, Poets of the Fall played a big part in Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, Alan Wake and Alan Wake's American Nightmare. The band's involvement with Remedy started in the Max Payne series back in 2003 which acted as a catalyst for the band being formed. Their song, Late Goodbye, was the first one that was publicly released by the group. In 2010, Alan Wake was released; the title contained three songs by the band, Children of the Elder God, The Poet and the Muse and War. Their music video for War was also Alan Wake themed with Ilkka Villi portraying the games' eponymous protagonist. In American Nightmare, POTF created Balance Slays the Demon and The Happy Song.
