    It genuinely tore my heart apart reading that today. I am so angry at Bethesda and Marty, because I have gone through something similar with a really bad manager in a previous job. We will see what their statements are after this, but that document is full of damning evidence against Marty, Id and Bethesda. Thank you for sharing this Alex

Something about the ost had some drama or controversy around it and the amount of it was made by Mick. Think he's no longer tied to Doom, which sucks if that is accurate.

While Mick did a great job on those, I think his work on Killer Instinct is even better for how unique each song sounds.

    I absolutely LOVED what you did with the Classical remix and I really wanted to see a Funky remix for this one and I’m glad we got one at the end! What I love most about this song is about how it’s electronic sounds are so reminiscent of the original 90’s DOOM soundtrack. It sounds so old and so new and goes to show how far technology has gone so that we can put entire orchestras into video games when back in the day, we could only have one instrument that played the most simplistic keys imaginable to give that same feeling our orchestras do today. It honestly sounds like Mick Gordon wanted to remind us of the theme and beat that this entire song was built upon, the foundation of this new DOOM and it’s soundtrack. He wanted to remind us the spirit of this old track, and he wanted to keep that spirit while improving the entire body. It’s absolutely genius. I mean, if you turn it into an 8-beat track or something, I bet my life and then some that it sounds like a 90’s DOOM track. Genius!

    The dopest thing about the DOOM Eternal tracks is how they layer in and out depending on the on screen action. If there are weaker enemies on the map, the music chills and then it hits when bigger enemies show up. Then it dies down again once you eliminate the bigger threats. It feels pretty incredible in game.

    There's a lot of dynamism to how they did the "adapt to the level" stuff. Each level has 2-3 different intensities (ambient, light, heavy) and the tracks are dynamically mixed by the game engine to be appropriate to what's happening in the level. An example of a benefit of this: the synth arpeggios were actually previously introduced to the listener before the heavy bit starts playing, so they're also a callback/"return to the familiar" sort of a break too. If I remember correctly, there were also hints of certain note progressions in the ambient, but it's been a while since I've played.

    ‘Maybe it symbolizes that the DOOMGUY is being haunted by his own internal ghosts, and that’s the source of his unrelenting rage against the demons. Idk I never played DOOM’ This is a surprisingly accurate read. The original plot of the first DOOM is that the demons killed his pet bunny Daisy, and he went totally off the reservation and killed every demon on Mars. In fact, if you scrutinize the cover art for the DOOM games, you can see Daisy hidden in the background. The modern games added more lore, where he was championed as the greatest warrior of a race of alien gods, even though he was human, who gave him his technology (kind of like Samus Aran from Metroid) and unleashed him against the legions, allowing him to direct his rage against all demonkind in their own hellish realms using the strongest weapons in the universe. But really, the underlying driving force for his bloodlust and quest for vengeance is still the same. RIP Daisy 🐰 The more you know 💫

    just slight (not that important) correction: the doom guy doesn't find that daisy has been slaughtered until the end of the first doom game, as it was the stinger for "doom 2: hell on earth". the plot of the original doom is simply that demons have overrun the military compound and possessed all your buddies, so you're the only living survivor and you're fighting for your life.

If you're someone that heard the soundtrack when playing the game itself, its like being a person who has listened to a great band live. The way the song changes as you are fighting is unreal and you feel every emotion you mentioned twice as much. I would highly recommend playing the game, even if its on an easy difficulty just to fully appreciate how incredible it is.
