Darren Korb

Darren Korb is a composer and vocalist who has worked primarily with the independent game studio Supergiant Games. He created the soundtracks for their games Bastion, Transistor, Pyre, and Hades. His music often features his own singing, as on songs like 'In The Blood' and 'Lament Of Orpheus', and he frequently collaborates with vocalist Ashley Barrett on tracks such as 'In The Flame' and 'Bound Together'.

His work for Supergiant tends to blend different styles, drawing from rock and classical elements to fit the atmosphere of each game. The song 'Build That Wall' from Bastion became particularly well-known among players. Korb also contributed to the tribute album 'In Memoriam: A Tribute to Grant Kirkhope' in 2022.

While his soundtracks have received critical attention, some public discussions have touched on broader industry pressures. Korb's music remains closely tied to the specific worlds of the games he scores, with vocal pieces often serving as emotional anchors within those narratives.
