Level 241: Darren Korb (Hades)

Composer Darren Korb's music for Hades properly beloved. It's a great blend of metal with acoustic Mediterranean instruments to take you through the deep story of the game.

Darren adds his voice acting talents to the game as well, voicing the main character, Zagreus, and the training dummy, Skelly.

Hades is one of my favorite rogue-lite dungeon crawlers, and the music is the best. 

Darren and I had this conversation about his music and acting in November 2021. For a handful of reasons, none of which have anything to do with Darren, we are sharing it now, with sincere apologies for a nearly two-year delay!

Come chat with us on Discord about game music, and subscribe to Level with Emily's YouTube channel.
