@Akkari was going to disagree on principle and then realized all the game soundtracks I've liked lately were 90's throwbacks. :P So I'll agree instead.
quake 2 had an amazing soundtrack that barely needs an "upgrade", but is nice to see some love since I havent found any covers. Would be nice to hear your interpretation of big gun and decent into cerberon.
Very well played and extremely good mastering. However, I have to confess: I like it dirtier, mushier, more like a tank or Cyberdemon waltzing over you.
I agree. This is a great tribute, but I still prefer the original... You can almost hear the rust, the metal-on-metal grinding in Sonic Mayhem's original
I have a huge respect for your work, for your channel, but I gotta say that your Doom and Quake 2 covers just hit me straight in the feelings. Not only your covers are great, but this music is really special for me (and a lot of others as we can see in the comments). Is it possible to have some FLAC download links? Actually I would love to have the separate tracks in order to attempt some audio balance and stereo workout if you would agree :) anyway, huge thanks for your work!
If I had to pick one song, I'd go with Descent Into Cerberon, but I would genuinely pay money for him to remake the whole soundtrack. That also goes for Quake 1's soundtrack as well.
Man am I so glad they picked this guy for Doom Eternal. They couldn't have found better, you and David absolutely killed it Andrew, hope to see more of your work in the future!
When it comes to music in games, I think of four people. Koji Kondo, Mick Gordon, Bobby Prince, and you Andrew Hulshult. Simply a living legend, nuff said.
Absolutely awesome game! Not sure it was underappreciated though. I remember playing this online on Mplayer and also the rather excellent offline EraserBot pack... Good Times!
This is one of many reasons why I love Andrew so fucking much. He can both make his own god tier masterpieces whilst also recreating god tier masterpieces and (arguablly) making them even more god like.
How the hell am I only know finding this!!! I never had any experience with quake growing up, but this is making me wish I did. Fantastic work my guy, this gives me hope for Ancient Gods.
I wonder if Andrew had even predicted he'd one day compose brand new tracks for a Doom game after making a cover on Quake 2, life can be quite crazy sometimes huh?
Not quite the same gritty effect the original has , i appreciate it musically but production wise, the original had a cyber factor to it , but i am more than happy someone thinks this is worth remaking .
A very good remake of Quad Machine. I wonder if Andrew will also do Descent into Cerberon? Haven't heard any really good remakes for Descent into Cerberon, interested? Also would it be possible to get a download link, Andrew? I like it that much :)
Q2 theme was composed by Rob Zombie....so yeah, it's gonna have a 90's metal feel - opposed to Quake soundtrack, done by Trent Reznor. I happen to love both.
Good remake, technically, but I like the original better. This one's a notch softer and it just bothers me. By contrast, Going Down The Fast Way added some welcome roughness/metal to the original track.
It's actually seemingly based off of a real shotgun: the neostead 2000 I believe? It's a double barrel of seemingly the same design, though the neostead pumps forward then back to load compared to the usual back to front like the super shotgun Other than that though fits perfectly. Only thing I can't confirm is how it fires (alternating barrels and a single trigger, a trigger per barrel, both barrels, or being able to switch from alternating to double shot using the safety and using a single trigger) as I couldn't find that on the Wikipedia

Glad you all like this stuff. It's a hobby of mine right now in-between work. :)
proud of where you have gotten, Mr. Hulshult! I rock out to the ancient gods soundtrack in my car every day. thank you
And look where you are now, mate. Congratulations!
It's going to be a whole lot more then a hobby just you wait.
This aged well
You have ascendent, you are now metal
Just in time for Quake II remaster 2023!

while in the present it's like a vomiting dubsteb
I'll try

Well it is a very decent sorta city if your interests happen to include upgrading your body with cyborg tech and eating human giblets.
Trust me.

Superb work!

Oh yeah sort of to show how grungy, dirty and metallic Stroggs are with they're rotting flesh and bone combined with industrial-metal.
I agree. This is a great tribute, but I still prefer the original... You can almost hear the rust, the metal-on-metal grinding in Sonic Mayhem's original
Yeah the original sounds a little muddy at times but nothing beats it for that feeling.
And to think... 5 years later you're working on Quake Champions. Impressive.

Descent into cerberon!
I dream of a Hulshult remake of the entire soundtrack, including the expansions :D
I get the shivers just thinking that :D

That also goes for Quake 1's soundtrack as well.

You should check out a guy called Saki Kaskas, hiswork are just fantastic but unfortunately he passed away four years ago
you've gotta listen to lee jackson he's done a bunch of 3d realms games and more!
Don't forget Daisuke Ishiwatari.

It'd be awesome if this were to be included soon in the Quake II Remaster.
Crazy how its been 5 years since this remix and it still sounds PUNCHY ASF
Metal is eternal, mate
This is F#cking sick. Quake 2 had a rocking sound track, you make it even better. Great work
ROCK ON!!!
new games fps music blow..cant believe retro is way better
+Lezuum He lives, again
Peppe Frasca I liiiiive! Agaaaain!
Doom 4's is pretty good.
new games music blow, except retro game remakes or reboots.
I loved that in old games the music played all the time and not just during combat.
Now for the rest of the soundtrack
Already done by me
Quake 2 *needs* this type of remaster
You have all my respect
I love the sound, it's like stone being rhythmically grinded
This gives me hope for DUSK.
Hell yeah
Your hope was well-founded, I'm glad to say.
And it did not disappoint.
dusk is lowkey one of the greatest FPS of all time and this is coming from someone who is still playing the hell out of Doom Eternal like no tomorrow
@@HeyKyle kyl
Thanks Andrew, I appreciate it! Keep up the great work, and your musical track for ROTT was great as well!
How the hell am I only know finding this!!!
I never had any experience with quake growing up, but this is making me wish I did.
Fantastic work my guy, this gives me hope for Ancient Gods.
omfg i adore the quake 2 soundtrack and this is my favourite track. you have some amazing talent dude you did this song amazing justice!!!
thanks for this masterpiece Andrew
Andrew, you are very talented and I was happy to hear your work in Quake Champions. Rock on.
Your music is going to great to listen to when I start working out again soon.
i hope they remake this GOD GAME
Well quake 4 wasn't very good.
NOT AN ARGUMENT!
Dude it happened with Quake II RTX in 2019 th-cam.com/video/unGtBbhaPeU/w-d-xo.html
@@Dierk200185 Except that's not a remake. It's just a remaster.
Sadly they decided to remake Quake 3 instead.
I like Quake Champions, but I would have preefered a single player game like Quake 2.
this brings back so many late night memeries thanks!! epic!!
I didn't even think it was possible to make this song better.
Great cover.
Quake 2's ost is my favorite from ID's whole catalogue
memories of runnin around with a double shotgun blastin strogg away
BLAM BLAM RELOAD... BLAM...BLAM!
heheheh you sir are right
Amazing! This is my favorite track from the game.
Wow this is super awesome mate! My 2nd fav track in Q2, sounds like something made by Megadeth Rust in Peace era.
Is the only cover that gets the riff right. ❤
So fucking badass, Now we just need a new Quake...

I found original piece of this music being used in a TC of Duke Nukem 3D, named "Starship Troopers."
You're the best. Loved the music for DUSK.
I wonder if Andrew had even predicted he'd one day compose brand new tracks for a Doom game after making a cover on Quake 2, life can be quite crazy sometimes huh?
This is perfect
AWESOME!!!!
Nice!
Andrew do the full Quake II OST!
More Quake tracks please! The Q2 OST is a dear favourite of mine!
you HAVE to do descent into cerberon!
please?
Hell yeah!
We wish them luck and godspeed as well
Aight' Bitterman you're in the green and ready to go
this is better than the original in my opinion
Amazing.
Amazing cover :)
Awesome.
You are a god. A fucking god I say! \m/
nice work
I wish the transitions were made better, you can hear the cuts at
0:17 - 0:18
0:35 - 0:36
1:38 - 1:39
and so on.
After hearing this I felt the urge to press a red button on my screen
duuuuude fuck yeah nice one
KILLER!
I dont like it, but I am glad that someone likes quake 2 sounds so much that he made a remix
Original, but heavy...I like ur skills, my good man...
Not quite the same gritty effect the original has , i appreciate it musically but production wise, the original had a cyber factor to it , but i am more than happy someone thinks this is worth remaking .
awesomeeeeeeee
Would be good to hear the newer version from you. Markie`s and this version are good too but...
Came here from a nice stream to rip/tear to
Great work! As much as cool as your Doom covers are, more Quake2 please :)
A very good remake of Quad Machine. I wonder if Andrew will also do Descent into Cerberon? Haven't heard any really good remakes for Descent into Cerberon, interested? Also would it be possible to get a download link, Andrew? I like it that much :)
Huh. Looks like 22 people were rocking and headbangin' so hard that they accidentally clicked "dislike" by mistake.
hey andrew what is the bass tuning for this song.
I would love to hear some DN Zero Hour stuff from you
i thought the original sounded kinda harder/more aggressive
but i like it
why cant we have more of this in games.. oh yeah feeel it
Q2 theme was composed by Rob Zombie....so yeah, it's gonna have a 90's metal feel - opposed to Quake soundtrack, done by Trent Reznor. I happen to love both.
The soundtrack was mainly done by Sonic Mayhem though. I've been a fan of him ever since :D
*song starts*
“Oh fuck yes!”
the lead sounds boxed in here, the original sets it to overdrive :)
Good remake, technically, but I like the original better. This one's a notch softer and it just bothers me. By contrast, Going Down The Fast Way added some welcome roughness/metal to the original track.

Super shotgun BOOM 💀🧠🦴

kick assss

NIce NICE NICEEEE . . .
someone did a pretty good job on that compression knob i guess
Sometimes I wonder: "How would it have sound without the offset?"
Bring thy forth good son with wine and grapes!
i need to know how to get this tone
Let's make a collab!
I dunno man... Sonic Mayhem is perfect as it is lol.
I'm going to paint the town.... red.
Holy scheiße this is old (pun intended)
Ah good old memories, i would love to see that good old double barrel pump shotgun modernized.
It's actually seemingly based off of a real shotgun: the neostead 2000 I believe?
It's a double barrel of seemingly the same design, though the neostead pumps forward then back to load compared to the usual back to front like the super shotgun
Other than that though fits perfectly. Only thing I can't confirm is how it fires (alternating barrels and a single trigger, a trigger per barrel, both barrels, or being able to switch from alternating to double shot using the safety and using a single trigger) as I couldn't find that on the Wikipedia
This video has 100x as many likes than dislikes.
