It would be the other way around. Puppets album was released quite a few years before Doom was 1st released. That being said, Doom & Doom II's OST was done by Bobby Prince. Romero told Bobby they wanted something like Black Sabbath like music and let him do his thing. I remember reading an interview with Bobby Prince back in the mid 90's where he mentioned it. Interestingly enough, Metallica was also heavily influenced by Black Sabbath.

There was a point in the song where I suddenly felt like the lyrics weren't just being sung by the printers, but written by them, I interpreted the rest of the song in this way, and it was great. Tysm for putting the lyrics up there, i never wouldve done this otherwise lol. Also - this made me want to start playing guitar again. I stopped after playing from 8yo to 29. I'm 38 now, and this made me realize just how bad I miss just jamming out for fun. This was so on point it really just reignited my passion for playing music lmao

That interlude was so satisfying to hear, all the parts were programmed so well.

Either one of these would sound amazing on the Floppytron, I can hear it already :)

0:1 was tearing shit up.

I think the most impressive diplay of technical prowess from this mix of machine and music is the way the Flopotron pulls off vocal vibrato. Absolutely incredible!

I like that the drives are arranged to look like piano keys on left and inverse coloured keys on the right. Nice touch!

It's incredible how much more musicality this version of the Follotron is capable of.
