From the gamemusic.net event description:
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.
