Melanie Martinez - HADES [Indie Exclusive Aura Blue 2LP + Poster]

Album Overview

Melanie Martinez enters a new chapter with HADES, her fourth studio album and first full-length release since 2023’s PORTALS. Released in 2026, the album continues Martinez’s approach to immersive alternative-pop storytelling while introducing a new collection of songs centered around power, control, relationships, identity, and the darker forces that shape human behavior.

The 18-track album opens with “Garbage” before moving through “Is This a Cult?,” “Possession,” “White Boy With a Gun,” and “Disney Princess.” Across the second half, tracks including “Weight Watchers,” “The Plague,” “Batshit Intelligence,” “Uncanny Valley,” “The Vatican,” and “Hell’s Front Porch” build toward the closing “The Last Two People on Earth.”

Across HADES, Martinez continues blending alternative pop, art pop, experimental production, theatrical songwriting, and detailed world-building. The album follows Cry Baby, K-12, and PORTALS while establishing another distinct era within her evolving visual and musical catalog.

This 2026 U.S. indie-exclusive edition presents the complete 18-track album across two Aura Blue vinyl records. The records are housed in a gatefold jacket with a 20-page booklet and one randomized 12" x 24" poster selected from three possible designs.
