First time seeing the dog was a shocker to me. Like….. nah fam. Death ti chronos
The organ reminds me of paper mario
When I first heard it I though I was listening to either Sabaton or Powerwolf lol. And both are my favourite bands!
5:15 sounds like a militaristic March and I love it
Darren korb cannot miss
Me summon the 4 arms shade to solo cerberus for me (it was Hilarious)
Hades tracks that heavily feature the theremin and bass guitar in the acoustic section have always been my faves
He really leaned into the Halloween part of the "Mediterranean prog rock Halloween" genre for this area.
This is amazing. I feel like this has an alternate title "Your favorite musician's favorite song"
Thank all the gods we never had to fight him in the first game
What the actual hell are those attacks, I swear, Chronos is less of a threat than this abomination of poorly telegrafed attacks with the hitboxes so big it fits the whole screen and then some. At least Chronos have only one stupid move with that whirlwind scythe, but not only the good boy (past tense) have most of them on an instant cast, he also can combo them into one another, grandpa at least needs some setups. AND his hp bar, it feels like I'm trying to destroy a bunker with a spoon.
If I can kill the dog without wasting a DD, I know for sure that the run is over and I win.
the drums sell this one home hard and is the MVP of this track so far this OST as been banger after banger after freaking banger, If this OST doesn't win Soundtrack of the year in 2024 Game awards im gonna freaking RIOT!
reminds me of the council of blood music from castle nathria! awesome
Gonna use this for the big bad of my D&D campaign, gave me so much inspiration! Thank you Darren Korb!!
can someone help explain why this song feels so "halloween"y?
The reason this song is so spooky is because having to fight the final boss for this area is everyone's worst nightmare
I didnt know i needed Castlevania in my Hades
A big part of the vibes of this song comes from its more classical style, which really comes across through the organ and the canon at the beginning. Also, I’m pretty sure there’s a bit of Dies Irae in here, which makes sense, as out of all the places in the Underworld, death itself is most prominent in the Fields of Mourning.
I think its a two-part invention in the style of bach
The song that plays when you’re trying to bathe your dog that has spent the last hour rolling about in a muddy field.
(He’s… uncooperative)
Nothing better than when the part at 5:48 lines up perfectly with Infernal Cerberus coming back out of the ground at the half-health mark, with the arena zooming out and everything.
This shit sounds so much like Castlevania! You gotta love those smooth organs man
Underrated!
Imagine my face when I realised its structured like a FUGUE of like 4 voices, baroque music with elecrtic gitar for the win
Does this sound a bit like a fugue by Bach (esp. Little Fugue, for example) for anyone else?
At first I thought Hades 2 couldn't top the original in terms of its OST. I was dead wrong, Darren Korb is a genius!
Man, who would have thought that fighting Cerberus was easier than getting the Satyr Sack this whole time? Still, it was worth the extra pain to not have to hurt best boy Cerberus.
the metal part of the song starts at 3:48
This music bangs more than that one attack at half health
Knowing you're fighting Cerberus is heartrending every single time. Since I have the plushie of him, I always pat him on the rightmost head (I would dare not pet the other heads!) after I finish the boss.
Is this…. A canon?
All I could ask when I saw our best boys the best time was "WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?!" first time I got it to half HP out of pure rage.
Darren Korb could have been composing in the 16th century and we would still be talking about him like this today. Him and DannyB are just straight up modern day classical pillar composers, like Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, etc.
The second half sounds like Castelvania x Halloween x Hades, and I absolutely love it.
Holy, this has sections in it that are in canon form.
Darren Korb keeps surprising me, what a legend!
