Olympus Aflame – HADES II – As Noted



Some of the HADES 2 music I co-wrote with @supergiantgames ‘ brilliant Darren Korb. This was recorded with massive orchestra and choir at Abbey Road, layered with Darren’s signature guitars, synths and drums.

An in-progress playlist of HADES 2 music can be found here!

  1. wow seeing the music in notation had me noticing details i didn’t notice with my ear only! i love beautiful touches and riffs y’all have added to really round out the piece— you can really feel the sense of movement and elevation and evokes exactly what the game needs of it! So so excited to hear more from your collab!

  2. OMG! I wanted to play this music on my trumpet since the first time I fought Prometheus in the game! So happy to finally follow the correct notes on paper! Thank you so much, to Darren Korb and to all the music players for blessing us with this amazing piece of art!

  4. It's a treat to get to see the score for this. The piece goes delightfully hard in all the places where it's used. Fantastic work to you and the players. Fingers crossed that this isn't the last piece for Hades 2 from you fine folks!

  5. I’ve been waiting for something like this! I have no ounce of musical talent at all, nor can I read notes but wow I absolutely love this piece and getting to see the notes is wonderful, genuinely one of my favourite pieces of music I’ve ever heard!

  6. So much of this- especially where the flutes sort of pop in really brightly or when the brass sneaks back into your attention- remind me of moments from Leonard Bernstein’s Mass in just the best way. And this, as well as mountain of the gods, reminds me of so many pieces of Tchaikovskys nutcracker. the first time I heard the Olympus music I had to just stand Melinoe still and listen. I kept running to the surface just so I could hear it! I’d finish a room and just stand still and feel completely blown away. I died so early the first few times because of it, and was so sad that I’d have to go all the way through to hear it again! The dialogue between different sections is so fun and lively, and the transition between different moods and energy is flawless and exciting! I don’t know what is is but this music just FITS with the snowy setting. Cold and clear and crisp, and at the same time intense as befitting the story and alternating between determined and thoughtful just like Melinoe. Grand, like Olympus, and frantic yet composed like an ongoing siege at a standstill. So many voices that can represent so many gods, so many rooms, so many weapons, so many choices that all come together to get to this peak! Truly, one of if not the best thing I’ve ever heard.

  7. Oh my gods… I had already started to make an arrangement in a software based on what I heard because it was so beautiful, and I wanted to play the main melodies.. now I don’t have to!! Incredible work on this piece.

  8. Wow, this was absolutely amazing! I want to let you know something, Mr. Austin: I had been listen to this song since it was released on the Official channel, and I've been loving it! It's such a unique composition, with the combinations of orchestra and rock music altogether on one piece(not pun intended) – and it was so wacky, with a time signature that only the God of Time Chronos himself can understand easily…Combined all of those, and you got an amazing song! Also, will we get an "As Noted" version of Wrath of the Heavens(Which is another piece that I absolutely adore from Hades II)?
