@RushWheeler Considering Judy Alice Lee voices one of the sirens she basically dissed herself

[@jaeded2391]

The relationship between Melinoë and Scylla is actually so funny to me. On Melinoë's side, It's clear from her dialogue that she does not care about Scylla even a little bit. On a personal level, at least. She fights her because she's in the way, but if Scylla moved somewhere else or Melinoë found a better path to the Underworld, she'd likely never think about her again. Scylla, though? She *obsesses* over Melinoë. She wrote this entire song about how much she Very Very Hates Her Guts, detailing all the specific reasons she hates her more than anything and everything she wants to do to her. She even titled the song after the *exact phrasing* Melinoë used when they first met ("Don't you drown your so-called fans to death?"). I fully believe that once Scylla regenerates from their fights she skulks around her dressing room, bothering Jetty and Roxy with questions about Melinoë and, on nights when she visits the surface instead, demands to know why she didn't come back tonight and what she's off doing that's oh-so-much-more important than her. What I'm saying is that Scylla wants to fuck Melinoë so bad it makes her look stupid.

It sounds like singing this in character must have been such good fun.

[@dwell7315]

I cannot express enough how much I love the character in her singing. Even in Coral Crown, which is much more subdued, certain lines like "Gods and witches cannot tame me" and "All who hear me, prince or pauper" really show her personality. I also like that they made her very middle-school level immature, it reminds me of the literature about her that says her laugh (as she ripped men apart) sounds like that of a young girl.

One thing I love about this song that almost all of the current covers don't have is just how **petulant** Scylla sounds. During the main chorus is in her most professional 'rockstar' persona, but that veneer slips when she's describing Melinoe's appearance and during the part where she starts ranting off all the sea-life and how they'd kill and brutalize Mel, that while she starts soft her voice starts breaking and getting more and more erratic especially during the whole "slapped by a knucklehead" before pulling herself back together for the whole swallowed by a whale bit. In game she's usually the last one standing by the time she gets to that part, so her ranting feels diagetic almost. All in all, my favorite track out of the whole soundtrack by far.

[@juanjuri6127]

scylla after spending an all-nighter feverishly coming up with lyrics and musical arrangements for a diss track aimed at someone she has met three times in her entire life: why are you so obsessed with me??????

[@TheTrueHaddock]

I kept refusing to kill the boss so I could listen to this. Now I can finally leave the second area already!

[@hereenoo]

Love how much more expressive and experimental they got with the soundtrack

[@Muciatneh]

I didn't expect a SECOND banger, I blame my last death on the Supergiant music team

[@TheTiLESS]

Same)))

[@lithuanias2]

This boss fight is probably one of the best ever made in game industry

[@funnynameforme4091]

Scylla: I wrote a new song it's called: I Am Gonna Claw Out Your Eyes Me: Oh that's a funny on theme piece of dialogue Boss theme: Changes to this song... Ooooooh damn that is clever

[@RogueEggman]

The stank put on the word garbage is amazing tbh. Arachne is gonna be pissed!

[@DJRaguindinGame]

I swear bosses who use music in any form as means of attacking will ALWAYS be my favorite type of boss battle

[@tharrock337]

in the tradition of Raphael I do like a villain that sings their own theme song. This one feels like it is on another level though, the ammount of detail and callbacks in this is absurd.

[@jake.xander]

It makes so much sense that the siren song is this good I’m already enraptured

[@connorhall4295]

DAMN IT ROXY

[@pinglefaz]

WHAT HAPPENED TO JETTY!?

WHO IS THE MADMAN WHO WROTE THIS SONG IN 11/4?!?!

[@dpride00]

Korb loves him some compound time signatures.

[@marpanj1871]

What is that?

[@silverflight01]

@@marpanj1871 If you're referring to the "11/4," that means 11 beats per measure, and each quarter note is one beat.

[@LordDragox412]

The Sirens sing songs to die for! Over and over again.

[@gregw_]

Ok I'm already digging this one based on the title alone.

[@Jake_the_tank]

Seeing the most watched parts of this song slowly go up like a sliding volume bar makes me very happy

[@nickg3371]

WE NEVER MAKING IT OUT OF OCEANUS WITH THIS ONE 🗣️ 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@doot1006]

So I need you to give the sirens more diss tracks in future updates. I need whole concert dedicated to making fun of Melinoë

[@blank_estel3671]

Genuinely one of my favorite bosses of all time in any game

[@blythetran8737]

if i had a song for each time a version of Scylla had an absolute banger of a song, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's strange that it's happened twice (Hades II Scylla and the Epic musical's Scylla)

[@foobar7266]

Minor typo in the lyrics description in this KZbin upload: She actually sings "stomped by hippocampusses" instead of "hippocampus" (actually the plural is "hippocampi", but that would not work as well with the song). Thank you for this insane(ly brilliant) music (and the rest of the OST)!

[@TomtheFanboy]

"stomped by hippocampuses" Nobody is spitting lyrics like Scylla!

[@Bzduras]

Legendary fight, one of the best boss fights I've ever played in 25 years. And this track is one of the reasons for that. Beautiful!

[@LCTesla]

First run: whoa the lyrics are kinda weird Second run: but the song is catchy Third run: I really shouldn't be liking this Fourth run: must resist..! Fifth run: I AM GONNA CLAW OUT YOUR EEEEEYES

[@zeiruscop]

Took 5 runs for you?? I was singing in the second one already

[@nutmeg3647]

Scylla really said "I hate the way you talk, the way you walk, I hate the way that you DRESS"

[@joanp.g.5943]

Reasons why Scylla and the Sirens are the best artists in the whole Ocean? Their last album comes with a free game when you buy it! Thanks, Scylla 😍

[@coleblack784]

I think it's so cool that you can hear her beckoning song lyrics get louder and louder as you progress through Oceanus. Such a fun character. If I could have one wish from supergiant, it would be for Scylla to have a small album of songs like this she might play when you fight her. Maybe give the band slightly different movesets based on the song playing. Like just a single special move they have per song. Also wouldn't mind just an album, not in the game but irl.

[@Angel..L]

I hope there’s at least 1 more song by them in the full game 🙏

[@Hippityhoppityy]

gotta add these to Spotify

[@Deadpool-ri3rq]

It might be years, depending on if the early access period lasts as long as the first.

[@zachore8008]

This song has been living rent free in my head since first hearing it a week ago. I’ve died to this boss fight several times because I’ve been jamming out too hard

[@theharvinator7935]

I gotta be careful with this one, I don't wanna get it stuck in my head then absentmindedly sing "I am gonna claw out your eyes and drown you" on a bus and freak people out

[@thereofone]

so fucking hyped to hear this banger in game

[@ksztaltchmur]

It is crazy how much of a love-hate relation I have with the Scilla, the bossfight and the music they play... "mixed feelings" are a huge understatement! What an amazing boss design

[@BattleCattleSA]

shes just so genuine here

[@LORdREDSTOneNR1]

It comes from a very personal place, right? 😂

[@eitrtine3448]

Where do they keep finding such talent? God damn ❤ I was trying to avoid spoilers, but I cannot resist listening to the music and gushing over the artwork, I can't wait until this game hits Switch... oof that's gonna be a long wait ❤️‍🔥

[@rosevalety3408]

When you make an artist hate you so much she writes this banger, GirlRage™ lmao

[@maestromgx]

Damn the title has no chill

[@sherluck1423]

hades has no business being this fun.. i wasn't ready for this

[@princessthyemis]

This normally isn't even my type of music! Just proof that Darren Korb can make me like anything! This is so catchy and I love all the descriptive lyrics!!!!!! BRAVO!!!!!!!!!

[@birdportant]

Absolutely here for this diss track

[@SullySadface]

This shit slaps but I'm still taking out the drummer first

[@Lucario7280]

I don't know how a seahorse (hippocampus) is gonna stomp me but I don't wanna be there to find out.

Front half is a horse.

they mean a mythological hippocampus, like a horse thats a mermaid
