![]() "It’s all I do, it’s all I have and I pour my heart and soul into it." Heart, soul and - as it happens - demons. ![]() "I take a lot of pride in my work," said Gordon. Doom Eternal's Original Soundtrack Album released last week with some questionable mastering - with Gordon stressing that he had very little hand in the album's final state and that he felt just as confused and concerned over the audio mixing. All rights go to Mick Gordon and his team. ![]() PLEASE NOTE: I do not own the music to DOOM Eternal the music was made by Mick Gordon and not me. FLAC is optional however and there is a 2nd branch with mp3s if that suits your tastes. This fellow has worked on a lot of previous Bethesda games including Wolfenstein and the new Doom Eternal. DOOM Eternal OST (Game Rip) Game-Rip of DOOM Eternal OST in FLAC format. It's also a fairly common trick for ARGs, as Valve demonstrated back in 2010 by hiding musical ASCII art in the run-up to Portal 2.īut while Gordon might've snuck in enough demonic imagery to induce a good ol' 90s moral panic, the composer apparently didn't quite have complete control over his music. The Doom original game soundtrack is a master work by the musician Mick Gordon. It's hardly the first time Gordon's hidden satanic works in his music - Doom 2016's soundtrack was full of these, hiding pentagrams and beastly numbers and that Doom 2 sprite of John Romero's impaled, severed head. The image can be viewed through audio analysis software like Sonic Visualiser, tools that let you dig deep into audio files like a cultist uncovering arcane musical secrets. It might even be a more affecting rendition of that metal-as-hell image, an off-colour reflection summoned into your eardrums by unknowable (for me, at least) audio techno-wizardry. A big part of the games success came from its soundtrack, composed by Mick Gordon, who also worked on Doom 2016 and the recent Wolfenstein titles. Crushed by compression and colour limitations lurks Doom 2's cover art, hidden inside the track "Welcome Home Great Slayer". The Doom Eternal soundtrack rocks, but its also a victim of severe audio compression, a painful blemish over which composer Mick Gordon had no control. As pointed out by RPS fanzine PC Gamer, the folks over on the Doom Subreddit found that Eternal's nostalgia runs deeper still. But from hell on Earth to colossal demonic goat-boss The Icon of Sin, it's fair to call it a strong homage to Doom 2. As any Doom player knows, a good chunk of the visceral joy and laser-like focus that arise while ripping and tearing your way through demons is due to the game's heavy soundtrack. But beyond all the blood and bass and demonic incantations, audiophiles have found Doom 2's cover art embedded in the very roots of Mick Gordon's heavy metal soundtrack.ĭoom Eternal isn't a literal retreading of Id Software's 1994 sequel. It's only natural that Doom's soundtrack contains a little bit of hell in kind. The rhythmic bass blasts of super-shotguns, tinny chaingun power solos, verses punctuated by gory breaks and technical fingerwork. There's more than a bit of metal in Doom Eternal.
