Music is a huge part of Hades, and has always been very important to Supergiant’s games as a whole. When picturing what sort of rock band the characters from the game might create, it’d be tempting to assume Orpheus and Eurydice would be at the front. Both of these characters are regaled in game and in mythology as amazing musicians after all, but that’s not what Twitter user the witch rachel (@rachelvice) had in mind.
Instead, Hades players are treated to a band that the witch rachel calls Dusa and the Furies, predictably consisting of Dusa and the the three furies as its members. Fans are going wild for the art, thrilled at how the witch rachel was able to capture each character’s personality so perfectly in both their faces and their roles in the band.
Canonically speaking, players have no idea how good at singing Dusa would be or whether or not the furies have any sort of musical talent, but it’s still fun to imagine this scenario anyway. More specifically, the roles that the witch rachel has placed them in seems to be very fitting based on their behavior in game. There’s been no shortage of amazing Hades fan art, but this one is up there with the greats.
Dusa is the maid at the House of Hades, and for that reason she’s always very busy. Despite this, she manages to keep a cheery attitude, so seeing her smiling at the front of the band seems right. She also seems to have a close relationship with Meg, as the two can frequently be found gossiping in the lounge.
The Fury Sisters are an interesting case, as they don’t typically like working together. This much is made clear by the way they treat each other when the extreme measures pact of punishment forces them to fight side by side. Each has a very unique personality that fits surprisingly well with the stereotypes people imagine band members having. Megaera is always cool and collected, the traits many attribute to a lead guitarist. Tisiphone doesn’t seem to be all there at times, something that bassists often get flak for. Finally, Alecto’s hyper nature and brash personality fit the drums perfectly.
As a final piece of clarification, the witch rachel explains that Meg is playing her guitar backwards because Hendrix did it, joking about how she accidentally drew the guitar backwards. For those fans that can’t get enough of this art, it seems that the witch rachel can’t either, even claiming that she may end up “drawing a whole thing about this fake band.”
Hades is available now on PC and Switch.
