The fact that Polyphemus acknowledges Odysseus as "Nobody" if you carry his trinket into battle with you is such a nice touch.

if the last hades' music genre was "Mediterranean prog rock halloween," then Hades 2 sounds like Mediterranean Witchy House Prog Metal Jazz Fusion, and I am FOR IT

3:28 Cooking Starts 5:22 Meals ready

this is extremely cool because in some myths, polyphemus was very skilled with woodwind instruments and used that skill to successfully woo galatea to be his lover (at least for a time) and mother of his son galas

I am shocked this game didn't get an 18+ rating considering how HOT this sax solo is.

5:22 ***POPS DEATH DEFIANCE HERE***

Sam Gendel is one of the best living sax players and having him on this album is such a pleasant surprise. Incredible track!!!!

Scylla's song might have vocal but Polypheumus has one of the dankest sax's I've ever heard.

In the name of Hades, Olympus I accept these tunes.

If you enter the boss room with Odysseus's keepsake, Polyphemus will say that "Nobody" is your friend, of course referring to the fact that Odysseus tricked the cyclops by saying his name was Nobody. When Polyphemus called out for help, he said Nobody was killing him, leaving the other cyclops to assume he was dying of disease, so no assistance came.

I saw when you uploaded this as "Sightless Shepperd" and I will NEVER let you live it down

The first half of this track just sounds like a B-side from the first Hades OST... and then from 3:27 on, it sounds like nothing Darren Korb has ever composed before. Amazing theme

WE MAKING IT TO OLYMPUS WITH THIS ONE BOYS

What’s with this trend of epic rogue like games having wildly talented experimental fusion composers ? i’m here for it

If we don't have sax player to play this banger in the Game Awards 2024, I'm gonna be hella sad.

Bro, sax just makes everything 20 times more…every positive adjective you could think of

Darren Korb is a genius.

SG Games: how many instruments do you need sir? Darren Korb: yes

Midway through the trailer, I was like "hey, is that Sam Gendel?" What an awesome collab. This game already sounds and looks amazing, I can't wait to see how amazing it is to play as well.

The ClownCore x Hades collab we didn't know we needed.

I died because I had to stop and appreciate the most unexpected, nastiest sax solo I’ve ever heard Thank you Supergiant 100/10 will die again and again every time the sax solo drops it’s too good

The breakdown at 2:45 goes so unbelievably hard! Can't wait to hack and slash through Hades again and again.. and again!

5:22 is just impeccable

I will pay money for a song entirely made of the back half of this song. That sax/guitar combo goes so hard

I have no idea why you have the best song to THIS guy, but I guess him and Eris are the reasons I'm solely going up now.

I’m so happy to see how many people know of Sam Gendel and his incredible-ness

UHM HELLO? BASED DEPARTMENT? Looking forward to hearing other jazz musicians features on the album.

Just wanna say that your guys' rendition of Polyphemus is one of my favorites of all time, if not my favorite. Incredibly unique and such a fun character.

This fight is so much fun and I love the character design, Polyphemus sounding like a new yorker is exactly what everyone needed

What i really love about this track is that in the back half, the drum pattern becomes basically a Louis Cole/Clown Core drum pattern. Which, considering Sam’s on the track, makes a lot of sense. Not sure if it’s intentional or not, but it’s a really cool touch.

this is the mos BOUZOUKI i ve ever heard in a video game, its going everywhere just like a real bouzouki player

Half of Clowncore comes to Hades and I'm here for it.

I won't lie, I got the game, started playing, and I'd roll my eyes going "ugh, a surface run again?!" until one of the runs, that SICK sax solo track kicked in with Polyphemous and now, for the tunes alone, I cannot get enough of the surface! Gods bless you Super Giant, Darren Korb, not only do you make fantastic games, but you literally work magic with your god-tier music. Keep this up and you'll have our love and support for generations!

5:35 this low note out of nowhere is literally everything

POV: You just did a big nono against a cyclops without the V.

"You don't think I'm a monster... Do ya?"

Hold on, if I'm being cooked before I'm eaten let this guy COOK

2:44 *strums bouzouki aggresively*

Polyphemus may have bad eyesight eye but he sure has good ears

The sax is crazy????

It's wonderful seeing Sam Gendel coming to clown on everyone again

In the name of Hades, Sam Gendel I accept this solo

I was not expecting to see one of my very specific music tastes intersect with Hades II, but here we are... and GOD DAMN do the results rule! That saxophone solo really hits, and the rest of the instruments give this such a distinct character. Awesome work to all involved!

oh hell yeah! I was absolutely not expecting Sam Gendel to make an appearance in this soundtrack but boy howdy am I pleased about it.

It just occured to me that this boss has a Polythemus Moth's pattern painted on their chest. Supergiant, you awesome people!

the ending bit reminds me of pharotek from C&C tiberian sun. delishus nostalgia

I wasn't expecting this boss fight to have such a jam.

this goes absurdly hard

Did they just released the whole soundtrack?????!!!! HOLLY SHIT!! These songs are beautiful and you can hear the influence of the first Hades soundtrack yet it's completely new unique !!! Thank you so much for all your work Darren Korb !!!!!! ❤❤❤

5:22 when that Total Eclipse hits

Kinda have to wonder if Sightless Shepherd refers to Tiresias, who's a recurring figure in Greek mythology, appearing especially prominent in the Oedipus cycle. Tiresias is a blind prophet, and that would be a fitting title for him.

Love me some Sam Gendel, this collab is more than I could have hoped for! So jealous of Darren for getting to work with one half of Clown core!

lovely track ... now if I only I could stop dying in this particular fight xD

3:26 UHUUUUUUUUULLLLLL!

Apollo and the Muses must have worked overtime to inspire this great tune.

That sax solo hits so hard

Mid-fight I was like "what in the clown core is this heavenly sax?", paused the game to look up the OST, lo and behold SAM FUCKING GENDEL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!

I actually got chills listening to this. What a masterpiece

saxophone with bouzouki, quite the combo ngl

For some weird reason the Hater of Nobody reminds me of a Crash Bandicoot boss, both due to to how they fight by jumping everywhere and because of this amazing track.

I knew i recognized that sax. It had clowncore written all over it

My favorite track so far! That sax was such a Moment in the trailer, so unexpected but totally delightful.

I love how Darren Korb have same vibes with prince of persia the sands of time

me @ 5:20 👀👀👀 I don't know what is happening but this SLAPS

For a few minutes it goes chill and then it just blows your mind, this is the best way to describe Hades 😍🌟

This was one of my favs even before the sax started and then omg! Amazing song, sooo good!

Nobody dislikes this song.

So pleased to see such recognition for Mr Korb here... Bastion, Transistor... these soundtracks were all genius, but now everyone's banging together 🤘🤍

You nailed it!!

I'm avoiding spoilers, a request for Supergiant games Please release the song that plays when talking to a certain god in chains. I think it's the instrumental version of "In the blood".

Got so hyped when I heard the sax in the trailer, didn't even realize it was SAM GENDEL??? Incredible.

Man, I had this soundtrack on in the background while working, and I had to drop everything when this banger came on! I can't even express how good this is.

I can't believe this...the wildest collab!

When I first heard this I thought "OH SHIT I didn't know the composer is a fan of Clowncore." It's *such* a good touch to add to this soundtrack to hear Sam Gendel throw down.

HELL YEA

Incredible work ! ❤

At first, I put titan of time, lost souls, and I am gonna claw in S tier. After I got to cyclops though, all three are instantly moved to A and this song alone is S, the sax is too godly.

OMG PLZ MAKE THIS AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY

They know they cooked with this one because this is the song they chose to unveil Early Access with

Hearing that insane drop mid-fight was something else, amazing music and sound design!

2:44 replay and replay.

Well gosh darnit Darren, you've done it again

the sax gives me life

Dude, the solo in this track has me revisiting it every damn day

this is definitely the coolest design for a cyclop i ever seen well thats a bad use of words if i ever seen one goddammit

This song is soo good !!!! Can't wait for the version 1.0 !!!

feels like Korb sampled Louis Cole's snare too :)

EXCUSE ME?? What a collab, this track is insane

that horn is instantly recognizable, just slaps the whole way through

Class soundtrack for sure.

When I first heard this song I thought "This reminds me of Clown Core." Sure enough.... Man, what an absolute banger.

SAM GENDEL WHAT THE

>RELEASING THE SONG FROM THE TRAILER ALONGSIDE THE TRAILER COULD THERE BE EVEN MORE SUPERGIANT W'S???????

That sax makes me want Colin Stetson on a Supergiant track, he even does shows in SF from time to time.

I need an extended battle theme mix so I can repeatedly jam to that sax

5:22 Holy shit this is incredible

Whoa, wtf...This is such a banger.

Darren Korb refuses to miss, godsdamn

Another banger from Darren Korb and the Supergiant team (both the game and the music)! I wonder, if and when Melinoё finally meets Zagreus, would her synth sounds intertwine with his e-guitar sounds in one track to show that they share close kinship, but are still entirely self-suffitient characters? Oh well, guess all I have to do is wait ;D

Shepherd is misspelled in the title. Lol. Great song.
