The fact that Polyphemus acknowledges Odysseus as "Nobody" if you carry his trinket into battle with you is such a nice touch.
"Nobody's your pal, is that what you expect me to believe?" GOD I just love the mafioso vibe this cyclops oozes with.
am confused
@@cycy8699 Odysseus tried to trick the Cyclops by introducing himself as "nobody" in the original Odyssey
@@yanchukcha9748 Not tried, did
@@cycy8699 specifically introduced himself as "Outis" aka "Nobody"
...i''m about to summon the PM sleeper agents aren't i.
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
Dpnt forget druma nd bass
more like mediteranian bouzouki witch RETRO DARK SYNTH
@@BackSlashJvb125 Y E S
and dark rock thingy aswell
I mean metal and jazz elements are already commonplace in prog rock

@@mihaimercenarul7467who let you cook
@@flar7137 you can't cook a song, little boy.
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
dude fell in love with a mannequin lmao
What wasn't Galatea molded from clay? The clay can birth children?
@@Freecell82not the first time that’s happened. Not the first time that’s happened to that specific mannequin actually.
I am shocked this game didn't get an 18+ rating considering how HOT this sax solo is.
I wonder if it’s hotter than the magma meadows of Asphodel
To be pedantic, it's not necessarily magma. It behaves similarly, but lore-wise it is the River of Flames, Phlegethon.
@@garr_inc Pfft, those don't look like flames. It's clearly magma!

Sam Gendel is one of the best living sax players and having him on this album is such a pleasant surprise. Incredible track!!!!
I got clowncore vibes and had to google just to confirm. Dude has such a recognizable thumbprint on his musical style.
In the name of Hades, Olympus I accept these tunes.
I saw when you uploaded this as "Sightless Shepperd" and I will NEVER let you live it down
Gets great music for free->
Compains?
@@jackalcoyote8777It's a funny grammar mistake that he's not actually mad about bro
@jackalcoyote8777 the way you spelled complains wrong too
Saddened that I missed the "Shepperd" era :c
@@murple3 i think that's the joke
Scylla's song might have vocal but Polypheumus has one of the dankest sax's I've ever heard.
WE MAKING IT TO OLYMPUS WITH THIS ONE BOYS
5:22 ***POPS DEATH DEFIANCE HERE***
"I smell blood."
Every time
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
If we don't have sax player to play this banger in the Game Awards 2024, I'm gonna be hella sad.
We most likely won’t as early access games don’t get nominated for awards as far as I know. Correct me if I’m wrong though
@@artemgleba7630PUBG was nominated for GOTY back in 2017 despite being Early Access, so I don’t think they have a rule against it.
@@artemgleba7630 Only released games for main categories, from what I know as well.
@@artemgleba7630you’re right, it won’t be available for nomination until the 1.0 release
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.
so nice of him to use that sole name and no other pronoun to refer to his enemy
Imagine if there was a doctor cyclops who came in to try to treat whatever illness he supposedly had
What’s with this trend of epic rogue like games having wildly talented experimental fusion composers ? i’m here for it
Darren Korb has been their composer since the very beginning when they made Bastion. Most of the music from all their games have been amazing.
@@GraineagGaming he means Sam Gendel, the sax player and Avantgarde Jazz Composer
@@GraineagGaming Let's not forget Brace Yourself Games (Necrodaner) with Danny B. composing. Roguelikes have especially banger soundtracks, it's true.
Bro, sax just makes everything 20 times more…every positive adjective you could think of
Not to mention i thought i recognized the player, he plays for KNOWER so yeah, and clown core, wild.
Saxy?
It kinda ruined the song
@@mihaimercenarul7467 and the worst take of the year goes to...
@@asagoldsmith3328 no one, well you are a candidate.
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.
god I was like "I know that sax!!" hahahahaha
I was just playing the boss and that was my exact thought when his solo started.
It's amazing how distinct his sax-solo style is.
The ClownCore x Hades collab we didn't know we needed.
When I heard the trailer music yesterday I said "This reminds me of clown core" then I looked at the track titles and soiled myself.
Wait... The dudes in a car?
@@TheSnappleman75 Is Sam the presumed saxophonist in Clowncore?
@@stueyman2099 Yes
I want a mod just to add Louis saying "Sam!" right before the solo.
Darren Korb is a genius.
Darren Korb is also Zagreus and Orpheus. Basically, Derren Korb is a Genius Musician Prince of the Underworld...
@@elijahcabacungan2915 Skelly, too!
And now also Narcissus.
@@mondenkindqueen hilarious. I didn't know that.
The man refuses to miss. Just point blank, always with the bangers.
I’m so happy to see how many people know of Sam Gendel and his incredible-ness
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.
The breakdown at 2:45 goes so unbelievably hard! Can't wait to hack and slash through Hades again and again.. and again!
Scratch that, the whole song is fire!
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
which fight does this play in?
@@mrktchp8335 SPOILERS
Cyclops, boss 1 of the surface.
@@DrGamer365 I fucking called it thx for the confirmation
Half of Clowncore comes to Hades and I'm here for it.
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
UHM HELLO? BASED DEPARTMENT? Looking forward to hearing other jazz musicians features on the album.
Hold on, if I'm being cooked before I'm eaten let this guy COOK
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!
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.
is Sam Gendel the dude from Clown Core?
@@tyrant351 speculated to be, and tbh sax sounds a lot like him
@@heheeheheheheh2236 yeah, it's all but confirmed at this point AFAIK?
5:22 is just impeccable

"You don't think I'm a monster... Do ya?"
this is the mos BOUZOUKI i ve ever heard in a video game, its going everywhere just like a real bouzouki player
Oh i recall a nice greek bouzouki in ICO and an irish one in Shadow of the Colossus 😇
@@AZAMA___ hmmm never finished ico tbh but i think i now of the one in SOC
I will pay money for a song entirely made of the back half of this song. That sax/guitar combo goes so hard
REAL
In the name of Hades, Sam Gendel I accept this solo
It just occured to me that this boss has a Polythemus Moth's pattern painted on their chest.
Supergiant, you awesome people!
The sax is crazy????
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.
Polyphemus may have bad eyesight eye but he sure has good ears
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!
2:44 *strums bouzouki aggresively*
I wasn't expecting this boss fight to have such a jam.
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 !!!!!! ❤❤❤
Did they just *release the whole soundtrack? Yes, they did.
They also released the game on Early Access on Steam/Epic!
At least by what they have on the page for buying the OST, no. They supposedly released only part of it, I guess because the rest isn't ready yet
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!!!
It's wonderful seeing Sam Gendel coming to clown on everyone again
POV: You just did a big nono against a cyclops without the V.
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!
5:22 when that Total Eclipse hits
That sax solo hits so hard
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.
I thought the same. But then it occurred to me that they might be refferring to Polyphemus, the cyclops, because this sounds more like combat music. Also he was a shepherd too, and was blinded by none other than Odysseus. Let me know what you think.
@@roccopalermo551 Well, we have confirmation that Odysseus is in this game, so you might be onto something.
@@thewriter1008 I also discovered that Scylla is going to be a boss un the Game, so my polyphemus theory isn't that wild
@@roccopalermo551 Yep. And she's in a pop-punk band with a bunch of sirens which I love so much.
It is in fact for Polyphemus, I've managed to beat him once so far 😂
My favorite track so far! That sax was such a Moment in the trailer, so unexpected but totally delightful.
So pleased to see such recognition for Mr Korb here...
Bastion, Transistor... these soundtracks were all genius, but now everyone's banging together 🤘🤍
I actually got chills listening to this. What a masterpiece
For a few minutes it goes chill and then it just blows your mind, this is the best way to describe Hades 😍🌟
lovely track ... now if I only I could stop dying in this particular fight xD
I knew i recognized that sax. It had clowncore written all over it
the ending bit reminds me of pharotek from C&C tiberian sun. delishus nostalgia
This was one of my favs even before the sax started and then omg! Amazing song, sooo good!
You nailed it!!
Got so hyped when I heard the sax in the trailer, didn't even realize it was SAM GENDEL??? Incredible.
5:35 this low note out of nowhere is literally everything
I can't believe this...the wildest collab!
this goes absurdly hard
saxophone with bouzouki, quite the combo ngl
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 love how Darren Korb have same vibes with prince of persia the sands of time
So true !
Well gosh darnit Darren, you've done it again
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.
What’s hysterical is I just commented the other day how the new Tartarus track reminds me so much of the music in Crash Bandicoot 3, which also had a theme of “Time”.
Incredible work ! ❤
OMG PLZ MAKE THIS AVAILABLE ON SPOTIFY
that horn is instantly recognizable, just slaps the whole way through
Hearing that insane drop mid-fight was something else, amazing music and sound design!
Dude, the solo in this track has me revisiting it every damn day
They know they cooked with this one because this is the song they chose to unveil Early Access with
EXCUSE ME?? What a collab, this track is insane
Apollo and the Muses must have worked overtime to inspire this great tune.
That sax makes me want Colin Stetson on a Supergiant track, he even does shows in SF from time to time.
HELL YEA
the sax gives me life
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.
me @ 5:20 👀👀👀 I don't know what is happening but this SLAPS
Nobody dislikes this song.
No, I see about 17 dislikes on it. Maybe somewhat guesstimated, but still.
This song is soo good !!!! Can't wait for the version 1.0 !!!
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
Class soundtrack for sure.
I need an extended battle theme mix so I can repeatedly jam to that sax
Whoa, wtf...This is such a banger.
When I first heard this song I thought "This reminds me of Clown Core." Sure enough.... Man, what an absolute banger.
5:22 Holy shit this is incredible
My brain chemistry is altered
Darren Korb refuses to miss, godsdamn
Darren pushing the limits 🤍
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
I immediately recognized who's sax playing that was, I've been a fan for clownc0re long enough to know who can perfectly pull off 'rough jazz'
I remember playing almost mentally pausing when the sax started. Sheeeesh
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.
This is my favorite song on the Citadel.
I loooove the electronic part of this song. but i always die during it XD
feels like Korb sampled Louis Cole's snare too :)
