Hades II absolutely needs to win "Game of the Year" and "Best OST" awards whenever it officially releases. So maybe 2024 or 2025. Whenever it is, it truly deserves the awards

[@felhodorottya]

I am a simple girl, if there is a flute in a song, I’m down for it. Kudos to the band 🎉

[@alexursu4403]

Darren having guests for the soundtrack is him bringing out the big guns.

[@zoekhaeva2134]

If you listen closely at certain points in the background when the 4 notes play over and over (ex. 1:01), they're the same as the ones in In the Blood (specifically at 2:12 of that song). A really cool callback.

[@asagoldsmith3328]

In the blood also plays in a certain room in tartarus

[@PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

@@asagoldsmith3328 yeah, and when certain dialogue came and the theme of into the blood came up, "ah, thanks Supergiant, time to bawl my eyes out again"

[@camelliasinensis219]

This has to be one of my favourite tracks in Hades II. When I stepped into the Necropolis in game, just had to full on stop for a few minutes to just bop to the music. It’s so good. Thank you so much Darren

[@ZakAttakk29]

Yup. Me as well. I was slipping up from grooving and then at 4:30, I just lost it and had to pause.

[@olive_riggzey]

[@evillittlegoat8338]

I love Darren Korb. What a genius.

[@MrBoko1234]

THAT FLUTE HOLY FUCK

[@drxavier1870]

Fun Fact: the reason the Flute is the main instrument is because in mythology, Polyphemus became blind when Odysseus stabbed him in the eye with a flute. So this is the most literal use of the term "insult to injury" by having this be one of his fight themes

[@Mantafirefly]

Isn't this more of a Panflute or am I mistaking it?

[@drxavier1870]

@@Mantafirefly Flute is Flute i aint a woodwind expert

[@delzhand]

Odysseus and his men used a sharpened stake, not a flute.

[@drxavier1870]

@@delzhand it was a musical sharpened stake you could blow through to vividly mimic the sounds of a flute

[@LyricBent]

@@Mantafirefly The featured musician, Josh Plotner, shows on his instagram that he is playing a regular, western concert flute (plus a bass version) on this track. There are techniques with the flute that give that more hollow sound you're hearing that (I'm guessing) is giving the pan flute vibes. I wasn't sure either :)

[@tdimensional6733]

The drum solo that starts at 6:57 reminds me much of a track from DEADBOLT and I am not upset in the slightest bit

[@AlexeyRusakov]

I thought what was so familiar in the finale, then opened Transistor OST and there it was - Dormant.

[@nobleradical2158]

You can hear the transistor influence in this whole soundtrack, actually. I like it.

[@jonathanchang5016]

Props to Darren for holding out on the alien sounds for a song so the flute could shine.

[@AZAMA___]

Darren is now unleashed, i'm crying 😭🤍

[@SereneJoy42]

This reminds me of the fight music in Bauldur's Gate 3 with the bass/whatever the string is here and it's tempo, but it a really good way. And it keeps surprising me when I think it's over with another instrument, the flute caught me so off guard it woke me up from my nap lol. It's so good!!!

[@strapps5404]

The track name is Twisted Force, and yeah, that string section near the opening goes unbelievably hard

[@elisecunliffe1123]

I was thinking "this has YOO GABBAGABEE" vibes the whole way through.

[@NathanDupont-vb7jt]

I think it's a oud the string instrument, it would explain how he make those glisando.

[@isaachunt6694]

Yes sounds just like it!

[@hatter3013]

Oh lord I've been looking for this one! Words can't describe how pleasant it is to listen to

[@belindaluna2067]

It's interesting. In the first game, there's only one track that has woodwinds in it, because the story primarily takes place in the Underworld, and the dead don't breathe. Here it looks like they're keeping to that, but because they're tracks where there are enemies and bosses, the woodwind instruments (flute, sax, etc.) go absolutely nuts.

[@DraconicCatgirl]

Remember to bring the Knuckle Bones into the fight with the Big Guy!

In a game of amazing tracks, this piece still manages to stand out. Holy fuck it’s good - even the toned down version for when you’ve already cleared all enemies is a work of art. So many kudos. Gonna be listening to this for the next year at minimum

[@lvl27_cubone96]
