Basically Mick edged us with his guitar and as a massive fan of his work, both the game and the music, I ain't even mad it's what makes his shit so god damn legendary!
He was told not to use guitars for DOOM 2016's OST so he sampled chainsaws, lawnmowers, angle grinders you name it and added distortion and filters to them, and also used guitars anyways, you don't get more metal than that
**In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer**
Hey guys, hoping to give some context to why the build-up is so long in this track. Basically, these riffs and sound effects compile into segments of music that scores the entire game, each level has a theme with sub-sections that inform Mick on what type of effects or guitars he needs for each section. The game splits the combat music from the ambiance and the puzzle/exploration music, this means that each subsection of a track needs to be diverse, but also flexible to mix and match with different scenarios. First wave combat music is heavier than exploration music, but not too heavy. Final wave combat music is crazy intense , but needs to progress naturally from ambience/first wave combat music. These small cut up parts are then collected and mixed together to form more coherent tracks that culminate in the OST, but it's clear to anyone that their primary function is not to be single tracks on an album. Mick has an incredible presentation at GDC that you can watch on TH-cam, explaining this process.
Great description. It would not surprise me if the legend himself, Mick watches this video and replies to your comment. I've seen him comment in a few other videos with remixes/covers of his music. The man is brilliant.
yeah not only is the soundtrack good music its also a very good soundtrack. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are masterpieces in terms of aesthetic and atmosphere imo, in large part due to the soundtrack.
It's similar to what he did for Killer Instinct, where the music is cut up to fit what's going on in the match, you got the intro piece that plays for both characters, the main part during the whole match with an addition when someone loses their first health bar, an intense part when someone does a huge combo, the relaxed part when both fighters are stationary (usually has an easter egg to a character's old theme unless they're new then they have the KI theme) little interruption parts that sound corrupted when a combo breaker is done, the part where someone's close to danger and losing, the ending part for when the fight ends and the mickey mousing piece for when a character does an Ultra Combo
You know a song is a fucking KILLER when youve had it as your morning alarm tone for the last 5 years, and STILL have not gotten sick of it, and still gets me ripped to go fuck some shit up in the morning.
I'm afraid to do that. I have to cycle through morning alarms because they start to piss me off and it never goes away. I've ruined too many good songs. This might work, but I don't want to chance it lol
I feel Mick Gordon put industrial rock/metal music back on the map, I mean some bands still have that feel to it like motionless but that pure industrial rock feel has been lost for abit
Nahh man, you are just looking in the wrong places, see bands like Eisbrecher, 3Teeth and Combichrist for some Industrial Metal bands still keeping it going
@@Relentless9117 but to bring it back into a commercial audience. I enjoy industrial metal but you haven’t seen it hit big in a commercial aspect. Mick Gordon and that soundtrack won awards, it made it easier for people to look for that sound
@@Relentless9117 Yeah, Mick Gordon made metal extremely mainstream music that people love. Mick Gordon has converted many non metalheads into complete metalheads.
Doom is one of the first game to have real dynamic music tracks with multiple segments and transitions to fit all playstyles and changes during gameplay. masterpiece
There are some that equally have dynamic OST like the first Red Dead Redemption, it has a different track for walking, for riding a horse, for any place or spot, shootout, mission, activity, etc.
Oh god the amount of Mick Gordon recommendations I have.... I guess I’ll start with Rip and Tear, and Super Gore Nest. Love you guys and thank you for giving Mick another listen!
I read a reddit thread that was something like "What song makes you feel you can take on the entire world and win". This was one of the top most songs.
Fun fact: That bass is a prop, the actual song was made with a chainsaw since ID didn't want Mick to use guitars. I dare you to name anything more metal than that.
Go check out Mick's full explanation here: th-cam.com/video/U4FNBMZsqrY/w-d-xo.html I highly enjoyed Mick's presentation on the Doom 2016 sound, so I can recommend it. He used a plug-in called Morph that, erhh well, morphed the Doom chainsaw sound with an electric guitar, so it's a hybrid chainsaw-guitar sound. The original sound design brief included "No guitars" but they amended that for the Doom 2016 score at some point.
They shouldn’t do the official version though. There’s another version (not posted by mick Gordon) that Includes more segments that aren’t in the “official” version. Some of the new segments are downright violent
You can FEEL the impact of the doom slayers boots on the metal scaffolding, the demons back and skulls, and the bite of the chainsaw with every bass drop! So fucking good! Literally the greatest ost I’ve ever heard! Literally perfect for the game!
The build up in Mick Gordon’s songs are usually more complex than the riffs. But the riffs are all so effective in their simple nature that it doesn’t matter. He makes simple beats that could be repeated over and over, perfect for soundtracks
What I love about Mick Gordon is , especially if you watch his GDC talk, how much fun he always seems to have with that and the different things he tries. He obviously has a good sense but man do I love that he loves his job and ofc the result would be that effin epic.
The Doom soundtrack is interesting because every song is designed with looooonggg build ups to drops. The reason is that each part of the song is designed to be looped indefinitely, as the intensity of the music matches the intensity of the gameplay. Quiet when not much is happening, building up tension when action is near, with drops for fighting waves of enemies. When you listen to the song in-game you never hear it exactly the way it is in the OST, because it's very dynamic and dependent on what you as the player do - which is one of the coolest parts of the soundtrack.
Guys, I'm currently the youngest resident of a long-term care facility trying to learn to walk again. I saw the viddy you did for "The only thing...", and immediately looked to see if you had done BFG Division. I loved laughing at your reactions to it... because I think they're the same reactions ALL of us had, but you guys appreciate it as musicians as well as as "normal" listeners. Since I've heard BFG roughly a gazillion times, I was just waiting to see what you'd do at all the good spots. Y'all didn't disappoint. I haven't laughed that hard in a half-year. Thank you for that, guys. Much appreciated.
Cultist Base from Doom Eternal is just the kind of heavy track you guys would love. It’s not as heavy but the Doom Eternal main menu theme is worth a listen too.
And as cool as BFG division is I still think Mick Gordon's best work in Doom 2016 was Harbinger, SkullHacker and Hellwalker Truly masterful work he made
You guys might really dig his presentation on how he did the 2016 DOOM OST at GDC. >> th-cam.com/video/U4FNBMZsqrY/w-d-xo.html Would be a bit long at 1 hour long for a react video but I can't be the only one that just wants to see others react to that. Was so entertaining even for somebody like me that has not much of a clue about most of this stuff.
Really recommend you guys check out Gladiator from Doom Eternal. Mick goes in to using a whole heavy metal choir for it while also staying true to the whole shin-dig he’s doing with the tracks y’all have been listening to.
The reason this song and so many in this OST are such a tease is because the music is dynamic in the game, and reacts to what happens. So a calmer section between enemies fades into the slower parts, when the action picks up, so does the music.
This is why I love Mick Gordon's music. It pulls no punches, just goes hard. I recommend doing Cultist Base, because as far as I'm aware, there's no guitar, it's literally just a synthesized chainsaw.
Yall wouldn’t believe me if I said that I listen to this at least 5 times before taking an online test and always end up in the Top 3 and I mean always ....... Man I rip and tear through the test and turn it into a Super Gore Nest .......... 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This track epitomizes "Wait for it..." Cause you hear it hit, then it holds and builds, and builds, and builds, and you're thinkin'- *BAM!* Kicks ya straight in the mouth.
The first time I noticed it I was running away from the demons tryna find some cover..when the WEERRR WEERRR WERRR WERRRR WEERRRR bit came on though in all of it's higher pitched glory...I knew I had to begin ripping and tearing instead! And then I died... but knowing that track was playing in the background the SECOND TIME AROUND! It gave me that good shit to get through. Also made it easier to accept the deaths.
Mick is SUCH a talented composer! He is also very particular about the sound - which actually caused some issues with production on the DOOM Eternal soundtrack.
More context about his creative process available here, during a GDC conference speech he gave: th-cam.com/video/U4FNBMZsqrY/w-d-xo.html Truly amazing.
I’m 62 years old, and listen to Doom music every night to go to sleep. Discovered it about 6 months ago. Earbuds in, volume up… and I’m getting the best sleep I’ve had in years.
“He got me,” TrueShot said of Mick Gordon's track. "That f***ing Gordon boomed me." TrueShot added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times. TrueShot then said he wanted to add Gordon to the list of musicians he collaborates with this summer.
The thing with the repeating riffs is that the game has phrases of music stored to react to what the player is doing to provide a natural soundtrack, and these are compositions of those phrases.
The dudes: "C'mon!" "The tension, baby!" "Release!"
Mick: releases*
The dudes: Ascends*
7:24 if anybody is wondering.
Just another case of Mick's godly timing in his music XD

Thank you Mick Gordon.
More context about his creative process available here, during a GDC conference speech he gave: th-cam.com/video/U4FNBMZsqrY/w-d-xo.html
Truly amazing.
7:47 Both of these men climaxed, simultaneously.
Mick: the one man to make even the most metal of metal musicians to say "oh shit!"
I’m 62 years old, and listen to Doom music every night to go to sleep. Discovered it about 6 months ago. Earbuds in, volume up… and I’m getting the best sleep I’ve had in years.
Their reaction is a testament to how good the music really is
“He got me,” TrueShot said of Mick Gordon's track. "That f***ing Gordon boomed me."
TrueShot added, “He’s so good,” repeating it four times.
TrueShot then said he wanted to add Gordon to the list of musicians he collaborates with this summer.
Next one absolutely has to be BFG 10000
Bunch of people asking for different songs, just fucking do them all lmao its worth it
Doom and Doom Eternal are epic Albums that happen to come with a videogame attached.
7:42 BTW, that part you guys freaked out over was actually an homage to a song from classic Doom called "Waltz of the Demons" by Bobby Prince.
2:32 I swear to god the guy on the right had the exact same reaction as me, its like the guitar riff literally froze my mind ..
The thing with the repeating riffs is that the game has phrases of music stored to react to what the player is doing to provide a natural soundtrack, and these are compositions of those phrases.
"COME ON MAN!!!!"
*The guitar drops* Mick has anwsered your prayers.
I listen to this song when i qualify on the rifle range. It bumps my scores a couple points every time
That's what it's intended for
Something to mention, Mick Gordon used an actual chainsaw as an instrument in some of his doom music.
When the metalheads start groovin' you know you've found good music.
Turns out the sound of hell is a 70s soviet synth lol
And a beefy guitar
