Shortly after the band was formed in 2003, Sami Järvi, a friend of Saaresto’s and a scriptwriter working at Remedy, asked him to turn a poem Järvi had written into a song for ''[[Max Payne 2]]''; this would turn into "Late Goodbye", which serves as the game’s end credits theme and a recurring motif. Additionally, Kaarlonen had previously worked at a software company, which contacted them to use the song "Lift" in a benchmark program. Both of these helped expose the band to a wide audience. Their debut album, ''Signs of Life'', entered the Finnish charts in the number-one spot and remained in the Top 40 for over a year.

Fun fact: their first two albums were produced in Kaarlonen’s living room.

 

* ''Signs of Life'' (2005)

* ''Carnival of Rust'' (2006)

* ''Temple of Thought'' (2012)

 

* [[Ballad of X]]: "The Ballad of Jeremiah Peacekeeper"

* [[Breakaway Pop Hit]]: "Late Goodbye" from ''[[Max Payne 2]]'' and "Lift" from benchmark software 3DMark.

* [[No Export for You]]: Their albums tend to be released only in countries around Finland, although ''Carnival of Rust'' was also released in Australia. Fortunately, they’re all available on iTunes.

* [[Power Ballad]]: "The Poet and the Muse"

* [[Shout-Out]]: "The Ultimate Fling" has nods to two of [[Dirty Harry]]’s quotes; specifically, "Make my day," and "Do [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|you]] feel lucky?"

** The title of ''Signs of Life'' is a nod to [[Pink Floyd]]’s instrumental of the same name.
