A whole lot of typical corporate waffle. Here is Mick Gordon's post https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-d... providing clear evidence. What a shame. Mick Gordon's Doom Eternal OST is what I use to get through some tough workouts.
- agentwiggles 4y agoNot from the Eternal OST, but I can't think of a song that gets me more pumped for a big lift than BFG Division from the 2016 soundtrack. The two DOOM soundtracks made me reconsider what "metal" and "electronic music" mean to me. His use of electronic sounds in a metal-ish context was a breath of fresh air to me. I love guitar driven music, but Mick pushed me into new territory and his work is just legendary. Annoying that Bethesda has to play these stupid games.
- hahamrfunnyguy 4y agoIf you haven't already, check out Dance with the Dead. It's John Carpenter meets powermetal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ted2nlBSSRU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ted2nlBSSRU
- agentwiggles 4y agoJust got around to listening to this album today. Really enjoyed it, thanks for the recommendation!
- bitwize 4y agoThe Doom 2016 and Eternal soundtracks are also dynamic. In-game events trigger motifs and stingers to play. This makes modern Doom a bit like Rez, which makes it even more awesome.
- perryizgr8 4y agoI've noticed the same happening in cyberpunk too. Really cool. Feels like you're in a movie. Unfortunately that means I never get that same feel when listening to the actual OST outside of the game.
- ajford 4y agoWonder how possible it would be to get something similar if you paired a sound engine with a health tracker/automation/ML model? Am I exercising? Pump up the music, I need jamz! Am I at the store? Play inventory music.
- muh_gradle 4y agoBFG Division and The Only Thing They Fear Is You are always on repeat for me. I'm not even a big metal fan, but Mick's music was love at first sound for me. It truly blows my mind how scummy big name video game companies are. Hope Marty Stratton never works in this industry again and Mick wins the good fight.
- zote 4y agoHave you listened to music by Polyphia.
- agentwiggles 4y agoYeah, Polyphia is pretty cool (I'm generally a fan of guitar wankery, so they're definitely up my alley).
