Singles

The cover of their first single, No Fear. (2005)

All singles (except for Shot) are also available as maxi singles, with different track listings and covers. The maxi singles features the PC-program "The Rasmus Player" with photos and videos etc.

A video has also been made for Immortal, but no single release.

Music videos

The video for No Fear includes a girl who The Rasmus 'feel for' by singing about her life and how she feels. The girl has an obsession with butterflies and follows them out of her small dark bedroom as she sleep-walks. Unaware of her sleep-walking she accidentally steps on broken glass on top of a roof and falls through to where the band is playing. But has she died? She appears to end up in a beautiful garden with a bed randomly placed in the middle, surrounded by butterflies and flowers. However, she also stays in her dingy bedroom, gloomily looking up at the framed butterfly picture on her wall. The effect is added to at the end by reusing several of the shots seen at the beginning of the video.

In the video for Sail Away some black butterflies fly away to the sea after singer Lauri is shown walking slowly down a cold-looking beach, singing. He sees a man coming up onto the shore carrying an empty bird-cage and he carries on walking. He sees that man again, digging a grave and a woman standing near him. The woman jerks her head in Lauri's direction to him. Lauri also sees more odd happennings, such as two children dancing around a wood sculpture (possibly a pyre) in gas masks. The pyre has dolls in coffins hung on it. Lauri enters a shack, lucky enough to walk in just in time as a sand-storm occurs and seeps into the shack. Aki (drummer) and Eero (bassist) both turn into sand-figures. At the end of the video, Aki's head and Eero's arms both fall off.

In the video for Shot the band seems to be in outer space, singing on a desert-like planet. The video consists of mainly alternating between close-ups of each bandmember and different angles of the whole band. Fast zooms and camera angle changes are used in parts of the video. At one point, there is a close-up of singer Lauri's eye and a comet flickers across his iris. This is very similar to a part of the video for "First Day of My Life", in which a close up of Lauri's eye is seen with a reflection of a racing track.

The video for Immortal is pieced together from various live performances of the song.
