Ballads of the Underworld – featuring music from Hades and Hades II
Ballads of the Underworld is a musical journey that will shine a spotlight on the vocal masterpieces from the soundtracks of Supergiant Games’ hit titles, Hades and Hades II. The music of two god-like rogue-likes: soulful laments, hymns, and alluring siren songs that have accompanied Zagreus and Melinoë on their perilous expeditions, time and time again.
To fulfil this prophecy, a pantheon of original vocalists – Darren Korb and Ashley Barrett, as well as Judy Alice Lee, Erin Yvette, and Colin Ryan – will lend us the boons of their voices. They will be joined by the Grammy-nominated and BAFTA-winning conductor Austin Wintory, to brew a truly bewitching performance.
