Supergiant Games and the Game Music Festival have released the full recording of their landmark concert celebrating both Hades and its sequel, Hades II, originally held on June 27 at London's Royal Festival Hall. Fans can now treat themselves to nearly two hours of orchestral grandeur, showstopping medleys, and live renditions of beloved tracks like "Coral Crown", "Fated Glory", and, naturally, a show-closing performance of "Good Riddance".
Conducted by Grammy-winning composer Austin Wintory (Sword of the Sea, Journey), "Ballads of the Underworld" brings Supergiant's longtime composer Darren Korb on stage alongside vocal talents players have come to love throughout countless runs through the Underworld: Ashley Barrett, Erin Yvette (voice of Scylla), Judy Alice Lee (voice of Melinoë), and Colin Ryan (voice of Apollo).
Our video game concert playlist expanded considerably this week. Just a day before the Hades concert premiered on YouTube, Czech developer Warhorse Studios released a full recording of their Kingdom Come: Deliverance II live performance, filmed inside the majestic St. Barbara’s Church in Kuttenberg—the historical setting that inspired the game. Before that, Game Music Festival also released the recording of the Diablo 30th Anniversary concert on their YouTube channel. You won't want to miss it.
