This OST, WTF?

What I expected: Badass, shredding metal.

Reality: 2 good tracks, the rest is weird wub wub, weeb weeb and brrrrrrrrrrrrrrb brrrrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrrrr noises. Everything distorted into oblivion.

Not only does it sound terrible imo, but it dosen't even fit to the game.

Doom 2016's soundtrack is going to sound just as badly dated in 20 years as Doom's midi files sound now.

I still listen to Doom midi's all the time. 90's Doom OST will never sound outdated but he new Doom I'm already tired of it.

You spelt Vega Processing wrong.

I think the music is phenomenal by any standard. Especially in video game scores. "Damnation" is just sick when you hit the first big arena in the Advanced Research Complex. It builds up slowly and kicks in harder when you've got a larger wave of enemies, or at least it seems like it. I honestly love the music in the first arena you hit when you go outside in The UAC. It starts a nice dance.

However, I've watched and played the game while listening to Concatenation, by Meshuggah, and it is totally insane. It's been one of my favorite songs to play action games to for a while. Since I've been playing unreal tournament.

Anyway, for some insanely sick metal to play Doom to, try it:

Meshuggah, Concatenation, from the album Chaosphere:

Hilarious considering this game's music is basically 90's Industrial metal (mixed with some 90's Djent). Sadly, it's the most bland, uninspired, uncreative, boring Industrial since the Playstation 1 days. The composer should've listened to the Quake 1 Soundtrack to get an idea or maybe the Quake 2 Soundtrack Sonic Empire created. The music from all the old id games is miles ahead of this boring mess. .

Put on some Nine Inch Nails while playing the game and you will see the difference it makes.
Personally, i just have some Megadeth playing while chainsawing monsters and it's a lot more fun than with the generic ♥♥♥♥ the game offers.

Hilarious? Thats total nonsense unless you have the most extreame broad definition of "basic".

I am a big NIN fan, Quake1 is one of my favourite games and sound tracks. But I am not deaf/blind, it sounds dated now. NIN's sound has changed too over the last 24 years.

My point about 1993 is that people are stuck in the past and fear things that a new. And with your play time, its clear you not even giving it a chance.

Whats great about 1993 is those games are still around, as is the music from back then. So rather then moan that the rest of the world is not stuck in a timewarp, go play those games, listen to that music.

Yeah, because NiN and Megadeth don't sound dated or derivative in the slightest.

You can't like those noises. They're rubbish noises. You should listen to these noises I like instead...

Pretty sure George Carlin was the manager for Cannibal Corpse at one point after watching that...

There are 2 ways to put music in a game:

- you chose a musical style and put several songs of it (heavy metal, techno, pop, whatever...)
- you build a music specificaly for the game

For DOOM, they chose the second way.

What is DOOM? It's hell and technology. While heavy metal is commonly associated with hell, it's not with technology. You need synths for that. I believe Mick Gordon managed to find the perfect blend.
