From what I understand, it's not just Darren Korb working on this one: they also recruited Austin Wintory, who I know best for the OST from Journey.
This ost is absolute fire. So glad you checked this out 🙂
im pre watch, PLEASE SAY SHE LISTENS TO CORAL CROWN
It's honestly impressive that Scylla manages to be the most narcissistic character in a game that has Narcissus himself. She writes I'm going to Claw out your Eyes after you beat her, changing her boss theme out of pure spite at Melinoë beating her and saying her last song (Coral Crown) isn't that good
W game, wish i was in it
As the game is in early access, the soundtrack is not fully released either! I expect we're missing a few songs that will drop when the rest of the game does.
The build up in the songs comes from that the first half of a lot of songs is you going through rooms of lesser enemies, while the second half is for mini bosses/bosses. It was the same way in Hades 1 as well. Also Plz react to more Hades/Hades 2, they're some of my favorite OST's in gaming!
I'm going to need a part 2 just so that you can listen to Chronos's boss theme because every song in the game related to Chronos is so tightly orchestrated that the beats sound like ticking clocks
Most tracks in this game (like the first) have a combat layer with more intense instrumentation. For the boss tracks, it usually ramps up during a poingant line of dialogue leading into the fight.
The coolest thing about "I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes Then Drown You to Death)" it's that it changes according to how you tackle the boss fight.
There are three sirens: Scylla, Roxy and Jetty.
Each one plays an instrument, so if you take down one of them, it removes that instrument from the track (Scylla is the bass, Roxy is the drums and Jetty is the guitar). Also, they all sing. So everytime you fight them, it changes the featured lead vocals. Scylla is performed by Erin Yvette, Roxy is performed by Ashley Barrett and Jetty is performed by Judy Alice Lee (who also plays Melinoë).
I didn't see it while going through all your videos Emily, but might I recommend Assassins creed 2's soundtrack? Jesper Kyd is an absolute genius and there's a reason why the AC games continue to use "ezios family" in almost all of the games after 2. Highly highly recommend 😊
You have to make a part 2! There are so many amazing tracks you haven't covered:
Eternal longing, The Titan of Time, Into Tarturus, Edge of Erebus, Coral Crown, The Risen Fleet
and btw, since the game is in early access the soundtrack is also incomplete, Darren will bless us with more tracks soon. They said the next update should come out in the first quarter of 2025
Noooooo, why no Coral Crown? 🙁
It's unlikely the whole OST is already out considering they add songs in each major patch. But a big part of it is released, yes.
A cool detail about I am Gonna Claw (Out your eyes and drown you to death) is that it's only the boss fight music after you beat that boss a couple times because you pissed Scylla off enough to get her to write it. The original song you fight her to, Coral Crown, is also an amazing song. Once she writes I am Gonna Claw (Out your eyes and drown you to death) they alternate between the two songs.
you skiped Pyre… other than that great job, very cool content
Awwwww yeaaahhh, I’ve been waiting for this one!
Day 35 of asking for a Mario & Luigi Dream Team ost reaction
Thus Darren Korb gave fire to humanity
Generally, I listen to a game OST after hearing it ingame, and besides game I don't really listen music, so I'm not often hyped about a music coming out.
I'm dying thinking what could be the theme of the final boss awaiting upon Olympus, up until now God of the Dead, Titan of Time and the most recent Prometheus are among my favorites music, and thinking it might tie all of it… Really can't wait
The flute (at least I think it's a flute of some kind) in Sightless Shepard goes so hard
Unlike most other Supergiant songs with female vocals, I Am Gonna Claw isn't sung by Ashley Barrett*. Instead, Scylla is voice acted by Erin Yvette.
*Ashley actually is doing backing vocals in the song as the voice of the band's drummer
I think one game ost which you'd love is the TES IV: Oblivion OST. Especially Auriel's Ascension, that piece is absolutely beautiful.
Another day asking you to check out My Singing Monsters' songs ❤
I really love Olympus Aflame but honestly I prefer the alternate “Wrath of the Heavens” that plays during the same section of the game.
If you haven't done Pyre's OST yet, I strongly recommend you check it out! It's my second favorite Supergiant game after Hades.
