Revolution Roulette is the third album by the Finnish alternative rock band Poets of the Fall and the first album of the Revolution Roulette Trilogy. It was released on 26th March 2008[1]
In 2008, PotF redesigned their moth-logo and also changed the font used to display their bandname. They also participated in the Voice's CD compilation Livenä Vieraissa, with a cover version of Chris Cornell's song "You Know My Name", and their own song "Diamonds for Tears".[2]
The third PotF-album, entitled Revolution Roulette, was released in Finland and on iTunes on 26 March 2008. Diamonds for Tears was re-recorded for the album. Its cover was designed by Tuomas Harju and features a giant padlock with a built-in roulette, abandoning the lollipop used on the previous album-covers. The record marks the first PotF-album not produced in Markus Kaarlonen's living-room, but the band's own professional studio. It went straight to the top of the Finnish charts and was certified gold two weeks after being released.[3] The band also released the title track of the album as a promotional radio-single.[citation needed] While on tour with the album, the band played their first gig in the United States at Musexpo 2008 in Los Angeles on 29 April 2008.[4]
On 05 September 2025, Revolution Roulette was re-released as a 2LP black vinyl. At launch it was offered signed in a limited quantity and in a combo deal with the RR t-shirt on Backstage Rock Shop.
