Now, I remember the original E1M1 theme from Doom quite exactly, I heard it many times. I listened to various MIDI renders and they just lacked the sound quality of a good electric guitar. I listened to several covers, but generally the guitarists lacked the skill for the fast transitions and they played it very differently. I listened to several covers by very skillful guitarists, but they deviated to follow their own artistic license. You are the first one I found to stay true to the original track. The 2013 recording was pretty close and this one, sir, this is exactly what I was looking for, when I thought my hopes for ever finding it were doomed. This is the original masterpiece, played masterfully. Thank you!
I bet the OST would sound a lot like that, if not for disk space restrictions imposed by the drives of that time. After all, a HDD of that time was often as small as 50 MB, and games were sold on 3.5" diskettes that had whooping 1.44 MB. This track in M4A format has 1.58 MB, it wouldn't even fit a diskette. The magicians of that time had to use MIDI format and use whatever magic they had available to make it sound like metal. They did a damn good job at that, there wouldn't be covers otherwise. But of course, a cover done well sounds better than that.
v1asec thanks so much for the kind words and I’m glad you liked both my videos!!! Limitations were certainly the reason for midi. They were super creative back then with sound effects and there’s a certain charm to midi that gets lost a bit with real instruments.

Bravo sir you've done it! Absolutely amazing! Would love a tab of this if you have made one already if not its fine. I'm just glad someone has accurately covered this fantastic song! Thank you!
I just started playing Doom 2016 and stumbled across your video. You're are so awesome. I'm just starting out playing the guitare and would love to learn M1E1. Is there anyway you can provide the tabs and a note if you are palm muting any of the notes? I have read in some other video they are palm muting. But I can't tell if you are or not. Thanks for any information you can provide.
@Lorcan Ward. Sorry, I was able to download the tabs from your link above. So I if I read that right, PM is only done on the open E. So are you lifting your palm on all the other notes? If so I can't even see you doing that. I absolutely lover your version. Truly inspirational.
Hi Mark! Thanks for checking out my video, glad you like it! Yep you just palm mute the low E, and then when it changes string you palm mute the low A string, and then near the end you palm mute the lower notes in the riff. Guitar is all about making the smallest movements, if you look closely my hand lifts slightly when I am not palm muting. This is a difficult song because of the speed and how it's down picked but keep at it. you can also play the main riff on just the low E string: -0-0-12-0-0-10-0-0-8-0-06-0-0-7h8-
@@LorcanWard Thanks fro the reply back Lorcan, I really appreciate it. I'm going to give it my best to try and learn this cover. Have never PM'd before, so I'll give it a try.
@Lorcan Ward. Can you tell me what Tone you are using for this? Sorry, but I am new to this. I have a Spark 40 and I'm trying to find something close to the Tone settings being used in your video. Would you be able to point me in directions on this? Appreciate your input.
Wow, very similar to the original, cool, we will have to try to play :) By the way, how is the guitar tuned ? The usual system or an alternative one? Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia, a little help from Google translator)

haha, DooM ed.
your tone sounds just like master of puppets
no shit sherlock
That's... That's what this song is inspired by...
Justin van Zuilekom It is? I thought it was Judas Priest. Definitely sounds more like Painkiller than puppets to me!
@@ZEPEH-46N2 you're both wrong, it's based on No Remorse by Metallica
@@justinvzu01 its no remorse
One Cyberdemon dislikes this.
Everyone else including myself loves this. Fantastic job man.
MrPhatNOB Make that two.
One cyberdemon and a Christian mom thinking heavy metal turns people into zombies, basically the same thing
69 likes thx to me :)
(Edit: idk the significance of 69 likes)
LMAO
Add 6 imps
Final-fucking-ly, a good guitar cover, with audible lows, audible highs and the correct speed.
Thanks!
when i listen to this i honestly thought he was just moving his fingers and the original was playing in the background. Good job dude! really nice
Thanks!!!
Wish there was a 2 hour loop or something similar of this cover, it's so badass!
Fun fact: If you you right click the video, there is a loop option
This is a super improvement over the original! You definitely got the sweeps down
Thanks!
Both a multiscale and a 7 string guitar, this guy means business.
I was watching your original cover of this from a couple years ago but this one tops it
I like the older one better :P
The camera has risen. we have half a face in this cover
@@kadenthepilotz6192 well this is more accurate though.
The original music sounds almost exactly the same :) It does in fact invoke the expression of a guitar :)
Your arpeggios are on point all the other versions I've seen the guy just does some random tapping but you actually play the notes properly. Well done
Yooo this is fucking amazing I can vibe to this for hours (Also beefy arms pog)
I'll never get tired of this song! killer job Lorcan, loved it

Awesome.
Been following you since your way old Holy Thunderforce video. Glad you’re still at it.
D T thanks!! That was a LONG time ago, I planned to re-do that video but never got around to it. I must put it on my list.
Wow dude. What a massive improvement over your previous one! It must be really vindicating to see how far you’ve come I’ve the years. Super well done!
It's like God himself is playing this.
No wait it is him
Shadow Wolf uh... sorry to break it to ya bud but doom is satanic-
@@molotovbruddah8507 You kill demonic monsters, so I guess it isn't? I think satan wouldn't like you slaying his minions.
@@molotovbruddah8507 so its satanic to KILL demons?
Snowscales Wintermint doomguy is an angel sent by God to slay satans demons
@@DoomGuy__ Amen to that
(Edit) Doom guy was chosen to purge the demons from the world. It just surprised everyone how good he was at it
Much closer to how it was written. Great job! And also thank you for the down strokes lol nobody ever does them any more!!
Ah yes your from ireland too and like doom, a man of culture
Don't forget the pints!
@@LorcanWard and the shite weather too
Brian Brown except when there’s a lockdown then it’s like the Mediterranean...
@@LorcanWard yep very sad stuff mate
@@LorcanWard back to normal shit weather again as soon as the peak of covid is over
finally! a true cover, not arranged. such a shame this is not on spotify.
It's like the original sound track but more intense
that's some crazy clean licks !
bravo sir
This is a really good sweep picking exercise lol
Holy heck, all these years I've been watching your older cover, and thought it was perfect.. this is a masterpiece!! :D
Thanks! I wish I could steer all the people viewing it now to this one.
@@LorcanWard I've shared this with all the DooMheads and music lovers I know :D
You improved a lot- this is great!!
I've been playing this in a loop for like 4 hours straight, good job bro! You gained a sub
Kick ass man! The playing was great and that Abasi plugin is phenomenal 👌
I can hear the cyberdemons dying, you're like a Doom Guy of music, awesome 🤘🔥
Truest to the original. You nailed it. Nice shredding, dude! 🔥🔥🔥🤘
The most accurate cover ever made!🤘
The most accurate and well done I’ve seen Wow !
man respect
Awesome cover! One of the best songs in gaming
Thanks!
best ever, ACE of spades, brilliant, love doom.
I listen to this while playing the ultimate doom it’s that good
Sounds Perfect! Keep Great Job up!
Best sounding cover ive seen yet
Bravo sir you've done it! Absolutely amazing! Would love a tab of this if you have made one already if not its fine. I'm just glad someone has accurately covered this fantastic song! Thank you!
YEAH!
It's a banger!Nice one bro!
Great version! And that guitar is quite something.
Classic theme 🙌🏻🙌🏻 love it 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Yes! Much better 👍
Like the fan-fret too 😁
wayne davies thanks!
nice job man, sounds soo doomy-ish
I want a 10 hours version of this
@Sethei Is there one?
It's got the same tone as master of puppets and the same pattern as painkiller, Just perfect 👌
Awesome! Just in time!
This is godlike
I still prefer the original Doom OST over the 16' version. Would be killer to have your cover as a soundtrack, so cool
Awesome work !!!
Se escucha la raja men
Felicitaciones
Original will always slay. 😎
Jesus, 1:29 is the harmony of the elite.
That HURT! So good!!!
Great guitar vid
Doomkidz thanks!
Excellent playing!
godamn
I was waiting to see all of the “set the speed to 1.25x” comments. But then soon realized that he actually already plays it fast enough 😂😂
I got enough of those comments on my last video that I had to do it at proper speed
It will become thrash metal
Its still good at 1.25x.
Thats some pickin’ my friend! Great cover 😎🤘
This is amazing
That tone reminds me of Painkiller-Judas Priest :D Great playing as always :)
Listenin to this b4 i play doom
Excellent cover 👍👍👍
You HAVE to create a video teaching us to play this!
Hey dude, that sounds great!
Awesome
Nice!!!
That was sick
This is fecking awesome. Any chance of giving out your secrets and posting some tabs!? Would love to (try to) play along 🤘
Thanks! Here is the guitar tab:

When the cold brew hits
Nice!
Difficulty: nightmare
Nice

So doom can run on a guitar
Great cover, full and fat sound! Did you ever make the E1M9 Military Base you mentioned in 2013 in the comments? Would like to hear that too. Thanks!
hes like james hetfield with all that downpicking
I'm gonna make a DOOM 1 rom-hack and this will be the E1M1 theme for the hack.
Nice👍
This fucking slays
How on earth can you downstroke all this
Great job! What tuning is it in?
Thanks! Its in E standard.
Amigooooooooo Epicoo
Cool! What about RA2 Hell March?
