This is the real soundtrack of Doom..I remember just stopping for a while in the game when i was safe and looking out the window and gazing at the foreboding red sky. The game was so lonely. No real story or cut scenes. Complete isolation. Just you,your gun and survival. This music allowed your imagination to run riot. The game, if remade should change back to these simple concepts.
As a child, when playing this game, I used to stand on that raised platform displaying the armour in the very first level (on the left from the starting position) and gaze at those black mountains and wonder what it would be like to explore them. They looked so foreboding yet inviting.
Totally agree i wish the new Doom franchise had the option for this soundtrack in game ... the generic metal garbage that accompanies shmups and racers does my head in
As much as I love the "you are the horror" angle they've been doing with Doom lately, genuinely wouldn't mind them taking a stab at proper horror again.
And final doom on ps1 music was great and doom 64. .I recently manged to get doom working on vr And I mute the pc music and have this playing in the background fucking epic
49:56 - As a child, I literally couldn't play the game alone at night because of this track. It scared the hell out of me. Even hearing it now I still find it unnerving.
And I thought I was the only one, PSX Doom was my first experience of Doom, well a friend of mine had it on PC, The haunting soundtrack scared the crap out of me, even now with the pc version a 39-year-old man, I don't like to play it when I am alone in the house.
I wouldn't kick it out of bed for missing a couple shots at a Baron of Hell, that's for sure. Dope soundtrack that blew my fragile young mind. I happily pontificated on the superiority (at that time) of Doom II on the PS to all my DOS Doom II-playing friends. I loved Doom but waited for the PS version before getting into it. TOTALLY worth the wait. But yeah, what you said: Unnerving.
+carrionfernandez I used to play it in the dark and it was incredible. The creepiest soundtrack I've ever experienced on a video game, it was perfect for Doom.
I absolutely agree with you, and I was one of those lucky people. I've played a little bit of PC Doom, but PSX Doom was the one I owned and played all the way through, and both the more creepy/ambient lighting and this absolutely stunning hellish soundtrack are a couple of the main reasons why I personally think it's the best Doom game to date.
I was 9 when I was playing it back in that era, I always felt the opening was really strong and the sfxs were great but i found the music to be sort of stomach churning, especially the one track with the babies crying; I often played with the music turned off. the music is ahead of its time, tho
I was 18 in 1996 and this game blew my mind. I played it for months, mostly late at night to really get that horror experience. A masterpiece in every way :D
This soundtrack actually promoted me to repurchase the game several years ago. Sad part is, I don't have a PSX to play it on. The music in this version actually made the game legitimately scary.
My PS1 doesn't work anymore, so now I play Doom on my PS3 and it works perfectly! I tried to play it on my PS2, but the CD ROM has worn out. A game I find to have problems on PS3 is Die Hard Trilogy; the music skips, stops and restarts sometimes. Silent Hill has problems with a high pitched sound that plays sometimes after you shoot (I think with mainly the shotgun?), but other than that it works fine.
If you have a pc, buy the collection on steam and downlpad the psx total conversion which you can run with gzdoom. The TC comes with the Lost Levels and No Rest For The Living (the Lost Levels are the ones cut out from the PSX version, both are redone in the PSX style, NRFTL is the Doom II extra episode that I think was exclusive to Xbox marketplace). The games aren't expensive, GZDoom and the TC are free but always download from the link on the original site never through a third party site. Any computer that will run should be able to run it without issue. GZDoom and other source ports offer graphic and gameplay tweaks for higher resolutions and keyboard/controller loadouts.
Both are great! I have been trying my hand at it. My style is slightly different, but maybe people will still enjoy: th-cam.com/video/duKFWOcDs6A/w-d-xo.html
Some people say this soundtrack didn't fit the original Doom's pacing, which I can agree to. However it matched the pacing for Doom 64 perfectly, which was different than the original Dooms. Doom 64 was a bit slower, but more gritty and dark. This soundtrack is one of the darkest compositions out there and it inspires me.
absojake Thats true. DOS DOOM was a game which felt alive. Many colors, rocking music, and fast paced action.... but the console ports.... at least the PSX and N64 ones... I don't know of many games that suffer such a change from one port to another. Heck, maybe DOOM is the only game that managed such a change. The colors are gone, the soundtrack gets tense and dark. Every step you make could be your end, and the music makes you walk even slower. The screams of agony of your enemies are terrible, and still to this day, with my 18 years i tremble everytime I kill or hurt a hell knight. I can't play without feeling sick, while my hand shakes. Every time I turn on my modded DOOM 2 levels with the PSX Graphics and OST is the same story: Scared as fuck, making every move as if it were the last. Every enemy killed is a victory, every bullet that hits its target is well spent... DOOM is an incredible franchise. The fact that the DOOM community is still alive is proof enough of something that can defy the test of time. How many old games can still be remembered as if they were fresh? Not even Duke Nukem has managed to do so, and it has slowly faded into obscurity. DOOM didn't fade. DOOM still lives on. Doom 4 is a great game, but itcannot be compared with the old DOOM. The only game that can surpass DOOM, is just DOOM itself. Thanks for reading this far, and thanks ID Software for creating the game that shows that you don't need great graphics nor a hundred employees to create a masterpiece!! LONG LIVE DOOM!!!!
For real dude. For so long I never got to try the PS1 version of Doom and didnt know about the different soundtrack until I got a PS1 classic and modded Doom onto it, played it, and went like "wtf this is NOT at dooms gate"
it was the organic sounds of horror, the living sounds, of something you where inside of, and being greatly unwanted by the host. those sounds where very Lovecraftian, and the most remembered. it brooded, it knew you where there...and it waited. it was menace incarnate! this OST was magical.
One of the best games I ever played and partly thanks to this music which created the most scary atmosphere ever in a game. Playing Doom on the PS1 back in the day can't ever be topped.
I have noticed one thing with doom apart from being amazing. It always stays with you. This game has amazing memories and out all of the games the ps1 doom has always been my best gaming experince and has the strongest memories. Even when I am typing this my hair is standing up on how much i love this game and its music.
Same here. I think its possibly because for many people it was their first experience of an immersive, creepy 3d world. I didn't have a PC in the mid 90s and until I saw Doom on PS1 at a friends house, I had only played platformers etc on the megadrive. This port was a revelation. The soundtrack curdled my 14 year old blood!
rockhardgamer 45 it's amazing because it will never sound dated and aged like the DOS Midi soundtrack of Doom. It really brings in the emotion of being alone and being in an alien world. You nailed it
Its wild you mention that it stays with you. I havent played this game in years yet I still have dreams about it from time to time. Truly one of my favorite game of all time.
I know the PC’s original soundtrack is one of the most legendary ones in the history of gaming, but the PSX’s was much better. The moody ambience fits the game perfectly; I have nothing but good memories from this game and that time period. This soundtrack is also a personal point of importance in the development of my musical tastes, as it was my introduction to ambient/dark ambient music and thus to the exploration of what the genre had to offer, leading to the discovery of great artists, such as Lustmord, the Scandinavian scene (best represented by the now defunct Cold Meat Industry label) and the darker releases by Robert Rich and Steve Roach.
Went to check those bands you mention, dude THANK YOU!! I've been looking for more music like the psx doom soundtrack all my life, I didn't even know that there was a genre of it!!
Heck, now look, how I experienced this. I was around 5-6 years old when I was firstly introduced to Doom 2. Shit was scary as hell, imagine that stress of being killed by scary monsters. Yeah, I was pretty much scared of playing doom. And then after some years I got my hands on PS1. I was like 10 at that point and my parents got a Doom copy for PS1. Yeah, whatever, I'm a grown up, I can handle this. Imagine the terror after I launched this port and it was much scarier than original, much darker and also with all of that horror ambient music. Shit was so scary, that I couldn't beat it on PS1 either. But thanks to Club Doom, I now like hardcore electro, gabber and all
@@belialearth I love the PC version of Mt. Erebus mostly because of the awesome red blue color combination and the big open map. PSX atmosphere is supreme though.
The world is a complicated, noisy place. Here, all complexity is gone; this darkness doesn't necessarily bring clarity, but it does bring simplicity. This is a world where the problems you face are within your power to solve. Music like this is very... centering. Mysterious, and comforting in its own way. Not really frightening; but with a certain melancholy to it. Like you're here to atone; that the darkness you confront is your own. This version of Doom is a master class of sound design. Standard Doom is a video game; an excellent one, to be certain... but this is something more than that. Simply being there helps me find myself. There's magic in this. And I can play this soundtrack, and be there wherever I go. There's magic in that too. Thank you.
I've been doing that, but I think other sound effects are different, so it still won''t be exactly the same experience as the PS1. I just discovered PS3 can play PS1 games, and my original Doom worked, but, Im too used to the analogue sticks which BFG edition allows :-/
I wish someone would take the original PC version, replace the heavy metal music with this soundtrack and also add in the PSX' more creepy/ambient lighting too, and put that out there. I know there's a "Total Conversion" of the PSX game on PC, but I think they took that too literally and copied and pasted the PSX version directly into the PC, warts and all, but the original PC version did actually have more intricate levels, higher-res textures, and just more stuff in the levels in general, so I don't want to lose that; I just want the lighting and stunning ambient soundtrack of the PSX games on top of the PC original. PS. You should post a video of you playing it with the PSX soundtrack, by the way.
I like to think the OG Doom music is what Doom Guy hears in his head. But this Ps1 music is the actual music that plays in the background for these locations.
Some great soundfonts on the pc but PS1 beats them all by a country mile! Great atmospheric soundtracks. 2 Tvs, 2 PS1s & a link cable. Those were the days! :)
However, the original soundtrack on PC makes the game adrenaline, like "run for your life." This version makes it introspective, like "walking on the sly and careful to the corners". : D
Exactly, I like to think of both soundtracks as representations of Doomguy and the demons While the pc soundtrack is badass, epic and heavy(like Doomguy), the psx soundtrack is scary,hopeless and transfers a more evil atmosphere(like hell)
Regular doom: You are the horror for everyone's worst nightmares Doom with aubrey's music: Well, those nightmares are the horrors for you as well but you can fight them PlayStation doom totally feels like some sort of creepy pasta material due to the sort of music used in the levels and a horror based atmosphere instead of the usual positive one. And ngl this horror music actually fits doom 1 instead of the upbeat rock music, because according to the lore, doomguy was waiting outside for his colleagues to finish the job inside but instead heard their deaths on the transmitter and took upon himself to fight and survive the unknown and make it back to earth. He would of course don't know what sort of creatures he's fighting, and some of them would also be his former associates who have now been converted into one of them. He had to get through all of that. He was the only living person clearing all of phobos and deimos base and he even cleared a lot of places in hell and defeated the spider mastermind. In my humble opinion, the rock music in the original version does not fit because clearly doomguy is not happy that he is getting to fight and kill demons unlike much later when he becomes the doomslayer and his purpose of life is killing demons. The music in doom 2 is apt because doomguy is visiting places familiar to him and he's saving people from more of those demons and is now experienced since he knows most of their weaknesses even of the new ones that he has encountered. Then doom1's rock music should have been featured in doom 64 since now our hero has been promoted to a sergeant, is much more experienced in the art of demon killing and knows the Mars base as well as various places in Hell from inside out. Plus by that time he had already lost his sanity from his back to back tours to hell and having killed over thousands of demons. So he must have become accustomed to all the weakspots of most demons and must be having fun fighting them for adrenaline, perfecting his skills even more, solving maze like puzzles etc. therefore, if Nintendo 64 featured doom1's rock music then it would have been far more better in my eyes. Then finally the modern doom games where our hero has officially stricken fear into hell's heart and lives just for killing demons and thus the argent metal that plays is justified. This was my view on the music of doom. Also, can anyone tell me who is that guy in this cover? He seriously doesn't look like doomguy even though he has that scar on his left hand that was grabbed in the cover of original doom, looks like a random Hollywood hero.
I remember when i was young , i look my dad playing doom like no one . He play safe , never run , tactically perferct. And this games made me scare with this soundtrack . But it's perfectly fit than a metal playing on an old computer. This better work for doom .
I remember getting psx doom after playing the snes one and at first thinking "wtf where's my doom music" and after a few minutes going like "oh shit....oh shit ......this is good, this is REALLY good"
I love the ps1 soundtrack. It's what I heard first. It gives the game an eerie, lost, isolated feel. I wish you could choose between this and the pc soundtrack when you play it now.
Love playing tunes that sound similar to The Broken Ones on my synth. When i stop thinking about playing (and start playing automatically), while starting to enter a trance-like state...best time of my life right there.
I'm an avid metal(expecially thrash/death/black metal) fan and collector since the '80 and I love the original Doom soundtrack. But this one was and still is always my fave since the day I bought the PS version. It fits perfectly with the horror/demonical vibe this game has. Simply scary as hell.
Being that the PS1 version was the first version of Doom I had, I did not know that this was unique to this version!? But as iconic as Bobby Prince's version is, being that it IS the original, this is infinitely darker and foreboding!!! Gives the game an entirely new feel!!!
The first time I played Doom was on the PS1 when I was a kid. Frankly, the soundtrack was the best part of the game - the horror element from this PS1 soundtrack really was impactful when I was a kid. I remember how it made me feel and it was awesome. I mean, I was scared shitless when I was 10, but it really was so well done that I can only admire how well done the game and the soundtrack was for the time.
Completely agree, although id prefare a new game which should use the same composer and original concept of the game. Simplicity, no cutscenes and complete isolation. This music is the real doom soundtrack.
Fond memories of playing doom on the PlayStation. I used to sit in my room up close to a small tv witj headphones on to not wake up my parents. Playing this late at night used to freak me out
All these years on and this to me is still one of the most spine chilling soundtracks ever to be released on a game. It just ties in perfectly with DOOMS atmosphere
I'm 46 now & have played this game on & off for years - it's still the main game of choice for me! Love it & would REALLY love it even more if Williams would release another 20 + levels in the same format! I could play this game for many more years yet! Each time I play it I still find on the odd occasion something I had missed which makes me want to go round again & again till I get every level to 100%! PLEASE someone with these programming skills - make more levels & Aubrey - you can do the music any day! A hard copy of the music to buy is a definite high on the wish list too! Nice having downloads BUT a genuine pressed CD of all the music would be sweet - just be sure to tell me 1st if you do!lol The JT
I like playing every level starting with just the pistol on Ultra Violence. Very hard to manage your ammo. Lots of punching and backpedaling. Only one time I got through the whole game this way without dying. Having every nook and cranny memorized makes it too easy otherwise. Wish I could forget or like you said, they made more levels. Best game experience of my life.
Esta banda sonora es una obra maestra, a falta de una palabra mejor. La inmersión que produjo en mí cuando jugué a este juego fue inolvidable. Hoy día la sigo disfrutando. Fue la mejor versión del Doom y del Doom II que se llegó a hacer
Can you imagine a horror film with music like this? Imagine Lamentation playing during the hell scenes in As Above, So Below. Ask Aubrey Hodges to do the music for it and you've got a film that will put people in therapy.
I was only 10 when this came out. The soundtrack, invisible monsters popping out at you in the dark and all the traps trying to kill you at every turn... scared the life out of me as a kid (even more so with the lights turned out!). If I go to bed sober I still sometimes to this day have this recurring nightmare of being chased from a house full of doom monsters coming for me. One of the best games of all time.
I'd love to see Doom PSX be added to the Bethesda Unity versions of Doom as an add on. Besides the scary as heck soundtrack, PSX has new lighting effects, Doom 2 enemies in the original episodes, some new levels, a new enemy, and cheat codes I believe. Lot of stuff to make it a new experience.
Me and my good friend used to play this every weekend on link up mode. We used to play the campaign cooperatively. Nothing quite matches the spectacle of 2 ps1's, 2 CRT's and 2 copies of the game running! I miss those days with all of my heart ❤
This and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC soundtrack are probably greatest ambient soundtracks of all time IMO. The atmosphere is as thick as a swamp in both of them and they have something that most of the normal dark ambient composers just can't provide.
2:00:57 That track terrifies the living daylight out of me whenever I listen to it... O_O It's mostly because it's not normal ambient noises... it's a bunch of unnatural glitch sound effects combined with what sounds like a Commodore 64 bleeping in pain (if it was a computer that felt pain) alongside warped versions of the ambient noises that play in DooM 64's Level 10: The Bleeding.
Doom sur playstation est le jeu qui a la meilleure bande son de tous les temps, après plus de 20 ans de jeux videos derrière moi, j'ai 45 ans, je n'ai jamais retrouvé cette ambiance, je pleure encore le jour ou j'ai fini doom.
That level is freaking iconic. When I was a kid I watched my dad replay this level over and over because he didn't know about the secret portal. He kept trying to run across. I remember this level and it's music so well
For me: Playing Doom on PC and other ports felt like going to a PARTY. The kind where you sawed a demon, shot zombies, and were knee deep in the dead. Bobby Prince's soundtrack was epic and really made the game a lot of fun. But when Mr. Hodges took to the task and Playstation Doom came out: The party was over. Silence of the Lambs? More like Silence of the Damned. This version made you feel alone, and certainly sent the shivers down you nape. Well done.
100% dope AF in glorious perpetuity, this soundtrack was so engaging to say it added effective ambiance to my Doom II experience would be putting it mildly. My friends all swore by DOS Doom II, but I waited for the PS version before cutting my teeth. EPIC.
Stunning soundtrack. The original PC MIDI's are great, but the dark, haunting, tones in this version are something else. They really give the game a tangible horror element, whilst encouraging deeper exploration. The soundtrack allows you to really get lost in the game.
Here because of a Caddicarus video about the PS1 version. He was right. The original soundtrack was amazing, but the PS1 port is just as awesome. The only difference is the tone they create, but they both compliment the game in different ways.
Definitely my favourite version of Doom aesthetically, although I mainly grew up playing on PC. The soundtrack combined with gloomy lighting and way more intense monster calls, all combine for a completely different experience, more of a survival horror game than just kickass thrash metal action.
This version of DOOM with the all new sfx and ambient music made me fall in love with DOOM. I had the Jaguar version first and loved it but it had no music and I always thought the sfx could have been better. Sorry folks but I hated the music on the pc version and wanted nothing to do with it. Then this version came out and I was blown away by the update in the ambient music and sfx, this version to me truly made DOOM what it should be. Fast forward to now and I have DOOM on pc and always mod it with PS1 sfx and music.
This always goes on at Halloween. I had this and the pc version back when they came out (yes I’m old). Pc had the graphics, but this had the atmosphere...and atmosphere is everything! Game developers of today take note
PC sountrack: Grab a gun and let's get going!

Totally that's what made me true PlayStation believer in it's early days.
Totally agree
agree 100%
I like the original ID Doom soundtracks better.....
1:20:19 is what panic and adrenaline-fueled determination sounds like after slogging through the unthinkable.
Agreed.
I have noticed one thing with doom apart from being amazing. It always stays with you. This game has amazing memories and out all of the games the ps1 doom has always been my best gaming experince and has the strongest memories. Even when I am typing this my hair is standing up on how much i love this game and its music.
Same here. I think its possibly because for many people it was their first experience of an immersive, creepy 3d world. I didn't have a PC in the mid 90s and until I saw Doom on PS1 at a friends house, I had only played platformers etc on the megadrive. This port was a revelation. The soundtrack curdled my 14 year old blood!
rockhardgamer 45 it's amazing because it will never sound dated and aged like the DOS Midi soundtrack of Doom. It really brings in the emotion of being alone and being in an alien world. You nailed it
mac doom
Its wild you mention that it stays with you. I havent played this game in years yet I still have dreams about it from time to time. Truly one of my favorite game of all time.
Playing Doom 2 with Brutal Doom or Project Brutality is still an epic journey every time.
I know the PC’s original soundtrack is one of the most legendary ones in the history of gaming, but the PSX’s was much better. The moody ambience fits the game perfectly; I have nothing but good memories from this game and that time period. This soundtrack is also a personal point of importance in the development of my musical tastes, as it was my introduction to ambient/dark ambient music and thus to the exploration of what the genre had to offer, leading to the discovery of great artists, such as Lustmord, the Scandinavian scene (best represented by the now defunct Cold Meat Industry label) and the darker releases by Robert Rich and Steve Roach.
It fits the game "perfectly" if you're one of the regular-ass marines whose corpses we see scattered around. Not so much for Doomguy.
Went to check those bands you mention, dude THANK YOU!! I've been looking for more music like the psx doom soundtrack all my life, I didn't even know that there was a genre of it!!
one of the soundtracks of my childhood. still play PSX DOOM today
Me too, on 2020... I'll be an expert
You can now play it on PC, just look up PSX Doom TC!
@@MondySpartan I've had it this whole time haha, not to worry
This absolutely terrified me when i played this game. I love this sound track more than any other rendition.
Heck, now look, how I experienced this. I was around 5-6 years old when I was firstly introduced to Doom 2. Shit was scary as hell, imagine that stress of being killed by scary monsters. Yeah, I was pretty much scared of playing doom. And then after some years I got my hands on PS1. I was like 10 at that point and my parents got a Doom copy for PS1. Yeah, whatever, I'm a grown up, I can handle this. Imagine the terror after I launched this port and it was much scarier than original, much darker and also with all of that horror ambient music. Shit was so scary, that I couldn't beat it on PS1 either. But thanks to Club Doom, I now like hardcore electro, gabber and all
The track that always gave me the willies !
01:32:19 Lamentation (Mt. Erebus)
Yes this was terrifying as a kid... The level was also insane.
@@belialearth I love the PC version of Mt. Erebus mostly because of the awesome red blue color combination and the big open map.
PSX atmosphere is supreme though.
The world is a complicated, noisy place. Here, all complexity is gone; this darkness doesn't necessarily bring clarity, but it does bring simplicity. This is a world where the problems you face are within your power to solve.
Music like this is very... centering. Mysterious, and comforting in its own way. Not really frightening; but with a certain melancholy to it. Like you're here to atone; that the darkness you confront is your own. This version of Doom is a master class of sound design. Standard Doom is a video game; an excellent one, to be certain... but this is something more than that. Simply being there helps me find myself. There's magic in this.
And I can play this soundtrack, and be there wherever I go. There's magic in that too. Thank you.
This OST is basically if Minecraft cave sounds had a whole soundtrack.
I modded this soundtrack into my PC copy of Doom 1 & 2. And now I play it in the background while playing Doom 2016. This is the best soundtrack ever
I've been doing that, but I think other sound effects are different, so it still won''t be exactly the same experience as the PS1. I just discovered PS3 can play PS1 games, and my original Doom worked, but, Im too used to the analogue sticks which BFG edition allows :-/
I wish someone would take the original PC version, replace the heavy metal music with this soundtrack and also add in the PSX' more creepy/ambient lighting too, and put that out there.
I know there's a "Total Conversion" of the PSX game on PC, but I think they took that too literally and copied and pasted the PSX version directly into the PC, warts and all, but the original PC version did actually have more intricate levels, higher-res textures, and just more stuff in the levels in general, so I don't want to lose that; I just want the lighting and stunning ambient soundtrack of the PSX games on top of the PC original.
PS. You should post a video of you playing it with the PSX soundtrack, by the way.
You should play Doom PSX TC, it's by far the best version.
Yeah, that's exactly the original aim of a total conversion, mimic as much as the PSX as possible.
I like to think the OG Doom music is what Doom Guy hears in his head.
But this Ps1 music is the actual music that plays in the background for these locations.
Some great soundfonts on the pc but PS1 beats them all by a country mile! Great atmospheric soundtracks. 2 Tvs, 2 PS1s & a link cable. Those were the days! :)
Doom 2 PC ost Is the greatest of all time
One of the best game soundtracks ever. Dark and moody. Yes the PC soundtrack was also good, but this suited Doom more, in my opinion.
I still think the PSX theme should be titled Orchestra of Pain, since that's what it is: An orchestra of pain.
To me it sounds like some kind of Army March song, or at least the drums.
+Zdenda1990 yes, the march...of DOOOOMM!
+oo EVIL GOAT oo :))
March of the Stroggs
However, the original soundtrack on PC makes the game adrenaline, like "run for your life."
This version makes it introspective, like "walking on the sly and careful to the corners".
: D
that's exactly what i think
Exactly, I like to think of both soundtracks as representations of Doomguy and the demons
While the pc soundtrack is badass, epic and heavy(like Doomguy), the psx soundtrack is scary,hopeless and transfers a more evil atmosphere(like hell)
hey guys how are you? :D i have a question is there a way to import the mp3 from this version to brutal doom?
"Credit's & Demo" is such nice tune.
The ambient tracks are just amazing in general with this soundtrack.
Regular doom: You are the horror for everyone's worst nightmares
Doom with aubrey's music: Well, those nightmares are the horrors for you as well but you can fight them
PlayStation doom totally feels like some sort of creepy pasta material due to the sort of music used in the levels and a horror based atmosphere instead of the usual positive one. And ngl this horror music actually fits doom 1 instead of the upbeat rock music, because according to the lore, doomguy was waiting outside for his colleagues to finish the job inside but instead heard their deaths on the transmitter and took upon himself to fight and survive the unknown and make it back to earth. He would of course don't know what sort of creatures he's fighting, and some of them would also be his former associates who have now been converted into one of them. He had to get through all of that. He was the only living person clearing all of phobos and deimos base and he even cleared a lot of places in hell and defeated the spider mastermind. In my humble opinion, the rock music in the original version does not fit because clearly doomguy is not happy that he is getting to fight and kill demons unlike much later when he becomes the doomslayer and his purpose of life is killing demons. The music in doom 2 is apt because doomguy is visiting places familiar to him and he's saving people from more of those demons and is now experienced since he knows most of their weaknesses even of the new ones that he has encountered. Then doom1's rock music should have been featured in doom 64 since now our hero has been promoted to a sergeant, is much more experienced in the art of demon killing and knows the Mars base as well as various places in Hell from inside out. Plus by that time he had already lost his sanity from his back to back tours to hell and having killed over thousands of demons. So he must have become accustomed to all the weakspots of most demons and must be having fun fighting them for adrenaline, perfecting his skills even more, solving maze like puzzles etc. therefore, if Nintendo 64 featured doom1's rock music then it would have been far more better in my eyes. Then finally the modern doom games where our hero has officially stricken fear into hell's heart and lives just for killing demons and thus the argent metal that plays is justified. This was my view on the music of doom.
Also, can anyone tell me who is that guy in this cover? He seriously doesn't look like doomguy even though he has that scar on his left hand that was grabbed in the cover of original doom, looks like a random Hollywood hero.
I remember when i was young , i look my dad playing doom like no one . He play safe , never run , tactically perferct. And this games made me scare with this soundtrack . But it's perfectly fit than a metal playing on an old computer. This better work for doom .
I remember getting psx doom after playing the snes one and at first thinking "wtf where's my doom music" and after a few minutes going like "oh shit....oh shit ......this is good, this is REALLY good"
I love the ps1 soundtrack. It's what I heard first. It gives the game an eerie, lost, isolated feel. I wish you could choose between this and the pc soundtrack when you play it now.
Love playing tunes that sound similar to The Broken Ones on my synth. When i stop thinking about playing (and start playing automatically), while starting to enter a trance-like state...best time of my life right there.
I love how Deimos Anomaly sounds like it should be: you thought you won, but now you're at the Shores of Hell
01:36:21 is my No. 1 favorite among all the songs on this list
I'm an avid metal(expecially thrash/death/black metal) fan and collector since the '80 and I love the original Doom soundtrack. But this one was and still is always my fave since the day I bought the PS version. It fits perfectly with the horror/demonical vibe this game has.
Simply scary as hell.
A+ soundtrack to fall asleep to ♡ this and the 64 ost
Until you hit Club Doom.
Being that the PS1 version was the first version of Doom I had, I did not know that this was unique to this version!? But as iconic as Bobby Prince's version is, being that it IS the original, this is infinitely darker and foreboding!!! Gives the game an entirely new feel!!!
The first time I played Doom was on the PS1 when I was a kid. Frankly, the soundtrack was the best part of the game - the horror element from this PS1 soundtrack really was impactful when I was a kid. I remember how it made me feel and it was awesome. I mean, I was scared shitless when I was 10, but it really was so well done that I can only admire how well done the game and the soundtrack was for the time.
The best video game soundtrack I've heard by far.., makes the PlayStation Doom version like John Romero stated "the best Doom yet.."
hey Aubrey hodges , if they make a re-make movie of doom , tell them to use some of the sound track's on here, especially the main theme.
Completely agree, although id prefare a new game which should use the same composer and original concept of the game. Simplicity, no cutscenes and complete isolation. This music is the real doom soundtrack.
This aged badly
Fond memories of playing doom on the PlayStation. I used to sit in my room up close to a small tv witj headphones on to not wake up my parents. Playing this late at night used to freak me out
All these years on and this to me is still one of the most spine chilling soundtracks ever to be released on a game. It just ties in perfectly with DOOMS atmosphere
I sold my ps1 on year 2000 and still have this game. Love it!!
I'm 46 now & have played this game on & off for years - it's still the main game of choice for me! Love it & would REALLY love it even more if Williams would release another 20 + levels in the same format! I could play this game for many more years yet! Each time I play it I still find on the odd occasion something I had missed which makes me want to go round again & again till I get every level to 100%! PLEASE someone with these programming skills - make more levels & Aubrey - you can do the music any day! A hard copy of the music to buy is a definite high on the wish list too! Nice having downloads BUT a genuine pressed CD of all the music would be sweet - just be sure to tell me 1st if you do!lol The JT
I like playing every level starting with just the pistol on Ultra Violence. Very hard to manage your ammo. Lots of punching and backpedaling. Only one time I got through the whole game this way without dying. Having every nook and cranny memorized makes it too easy otherwise. Wish I could forget or like you said, they made more levels. Best game experience of my life.
To be honest, I’d buy a vinyl version in a heartbeat. It would be expensive, as it would need I’m guessing at least 4 discs, but it’d be worth it.
The old Jenkins
Your prayers have been answered (practically): th-cam.com/video/HsCvnhxq-bo/w-d-xo.html
You should get final doom.
Esta banda sonora es una obra maestra, a falta de una palabra mejor. La inmersión que produjo en mí cuando jugué a este juego fue inolvidable. Hoy día la sigo disfrutando. Fue la mejor versión del Doom y del Doom II que se llegó a hacer
Doom y final Doom...
Can you imagine a horror film with music like this? Imagine Lamentation playing during the hell scenes in As Above, So Below. Ask Aubrey Hodges to do the music for it and you've got a film that will put people in therapy.
man, Club Doom is so stressful, when you are battling revenants in that level!
I got my psx Doom disc, no Doom club on ...why???
@Godly_ Ice on final doom doesn't appears doom club

I was only 10 when this came out. The soundtrack, invisible monsters popping out at you in the dark and all the traps trying to kill you at every turn... scared the life out of me as a kid (even more so with the lights turned out!). If I go to bed sober I still sometimes to this day have this recurring nightmare of being chased from a house full of doom monsters coming for me. One of the best games of all time.
I'd love to see Doom PSX be added to the Bethesda Unity versions of Doom as an add on.
Besides the scary as heck soundtrack, PSX has new lighting effects, Doom 2 enemies in the original episodes, some new levels, a new enemy, and cheat codes I believe. Lot of stuff to make it a new experience.
I totally agree with you.
i love this soundtrack because it gave a sense of dread and badassness at the same time
Even when I was a little kid I was in love with the dark ambient soundtrack. My favourite version of the game by far.
Me and my good friend used to play this every weekend on link up mode. We used to play the campaign cooperatively. Nothing quite matches the spectacle of 2 ps1's, 2 CRT's and 2 copies of the game running! I miss those days with all of my heart ❤
I like how the PS1 version the DOOM's soundtrack is actually more terrifying than the PC version
This is the best soundotrack for the game... Great sound... Translate all magnificent of the game...
Itamar Pessoa This is what made DOOM stand out on the PS1 among the other Variations on other Consoles or PC, the Atmospheric Soundtrack.
Yeahhhh... I acord with you said... This soundtrack is great... :)
This and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC soundtrack are probably greatest ambient soundtracks of all time IMO. The atmosphere is as thick as a swamp in both of them and they have something that most of the normal dark ambient composers just can't provide.
2:00:57 That track terrifies the living daylight out of me whenever I listen to it... O_O
It's mostly because it's not normal ambient noises... it's a bunch of unnatural glitch sound effects combined with what sounds like a Commodore 64 bleeping in pain (if it was a computer that felt pain) alongside warped versions of the ambient noises that play in DooM 64's Level 10: The Bleeding.
Nothing like an eerie atmosphere ambiance of death to fill in the mood where demons have overcome the vicinity.
55:22 My favourite!!!
Everytime i hear that i feel terror is near.
Yeah, arachnotrons power up.
This is great background ambiance for tabletop or board gaming with a horror theme!
I still play this game now and then. So nostalgic and atmospheric dark soundtrack. Has to be one of the best games ever.
Thank you for posting this. This and Doom 64 were epic back in the day largely for the soundtracks alone.. Great stuff!
Doom sur playstation est le jeu qui a la meilleure bande son de tous les temps, après plus de 20 ans de jeux videos derrière moi, j'ai 45 ans, je n'ai jamais retrouvé cette ambiance, je pleure encore le jour ou j'ai fini doom.
That doom intro logo and music is epic. I think doom to this day is still the best FPS game of all time. I still play this sometimes.
My God......this hurts my soul. I used to just binge this game as a kid. When life was easy, simple, and enjoyable. What i wouldnt give to go back
In my opinion the best sound track of any version of Doom and I have played pretty much all of them that I am aware of. Just epic! Aubrey is a master.
1:40:05 tricks and traps il never forget that map or its theme
That level is freaking iconic. When I was a kid I watched my dad replay this level over and over because he didn't know about the secret portal. He kept trying to run across. I remember this level and it's music so well
01:40:04 - background drum echoes remind me of Predator 1
+reniisgod Even as a kid when this first came out I always thought that also.
+reniisgod same here :-)
This is the Best Game that exists on earth forever
Oh god I love this soundtrack so much. One of my favourite ambient soundtracks of all time.
For me: Playing Doom on PC and other ports felt like going to a PARTY. The kind where you sawed a demon, shot zombies, and were knee deep in the dead. Bobby Prince's soundtrack was epic and really made the game a lot of fun.
But when Mr. Hodges took to the task and Playstation Doom came out: The party was over. Silence of the Lambs? More like Silence of the Damned. This version made you feel alone, and certainly sent the shivers down you nape. Well done.
1:13 Legend
100% dope AF in glorious perpetuity, this soundtrack was so engaging to say it added effective ambiance to my Doom II experience would be putting it mildly. My friends all swore by DOS Doom II, but I waited for the PS version before cutting my teeth. EPIC.
This is the doom I grew up on... so when I heard the music from the original I couldn't stand it. A dark atmospheric doom is the one I love :)
ditto, same here doom on psx port was the first game i ever played in my life, proud of it.
I grew up playing Doom 64 (my first Doom game).. super surprised that Audrey Hodges made this too. Always love atmospheric Doom!
Doom on psx and Quake on the PC were my first fps. They really nailed the feel of those games. The original Doom music is corny as hell.
1:52:44 what people think music will sound like 10 years from now
This would be brilliant as a background track in a ghost train, or creepy fun-house..
Listen. This kick ass nostalgic masterpiece!
This OST is a masterpiece. Also Final Doom on PSX.
Stunning soundtrack. The original PC MIDI's are great, but the dark, haunting, tones in this version are something else. They really give the game a tangible horror element, whilst encouraging deeper exploration. The soundtrack allows you to really get lost in the game.
This and the original shadowman soundtrack are the most atmospheric ost in video game history
Psx версия гениальна! Лучшая музыка из всего doom да и вообще из всей музыки в играх.
What are you saying, buddy?
А ты что базаришь?
@@olenlotharjoo Что ты можешь катиться ко всем чертям.)
I knew Doom in fact for the playstation version, and it was ever a horror game for me thanks for the intense ambience music...
Here because of a Caddicarus video about the PS1 version. He was right. The original soundtrack was amazing, but the PS1 port is just as awesome. The only difference is the tone they create, but they both compliment the game in different ways.
Of all the versions of the original Doom, the PSX version was my favorite. The soundtrack was so much more fitting.
I listen to this while I play Bloodborne and its glorious
It's funny how an inferior system like the Playstation gave Doom a superior sound. Awesome work~
Korjana inferior in the graphical hardware department, not sound. the dawn of CD as media gave way to all things good for music.
Actually the psx was superior to the early 90s PC that Doom was originally developed for.
Except they couldn't fit the arch-vile :(
Eh.. It's good but repetitive, and plenty of the tracks in the original game were great and fit the fast-paced action better.
what??? the first revisions of this console are considered the best sound
Definitely my favourite version of Doom aesthetically, although I mainly grew up playing on PC. The soundtrack combined with gloomy lighting and way more intense monster calls, all combine for a completely different experience, more of a survival horror game than just kickass thrash metal action.
I still remember hearing this on my ps1 for the first time and thinking AWESOME!!!
This makes me long for a full fledged new 2.5D Doom game
1:44:55 - That sound used to scare the sh!t out of me for some reason.
This is what the original Doom soundtrack should have been.
This version of DOOM with the all new sfx and ambient music made me fall in love with DOOM. I had the Jaguar version first and loved it but it had no music and I always thought the sfx could have been better. Sorry folks but I hated the music on the pc version and wanted nothing to do with it. Then this version came out and I was blown away by the update in the ambient music and sfx, this version to me truly made DOOM what it should be. Fast forward to now and I have DOOM on pc and always mod it with PS1 sfx and music.
This always goes on at Halloween.
I had this and the pc version back when they came out (yes I’m old).
Pc had the graphics, but this had the atmosphere...and atmosphere is everything!
Game developers of today take note
