How is dooms music so good?

[ChristopherWooWalking]

Its crazy to me how they make it so good and you dont get tired of it after hours of gameplay

[CzechKronner]

I think it's quite overrated. I love Doom Eternal and I don't even notice the music really. The switch from Gordon to Hulshult/Levy in Ancient Gods 1 is something I didn't even notice.

Really? Blood Swamps sounds so different to me from the rest of the soundtrack. They very nearly dropped the djent sound Gordon was going for at least in that level.

That's because you must be 12 and you've never listened to anything else.
When you finally get "old" (35-40), after listening to thousands of other OSTs, you'll realize that it's crap.
We all go through that phase.

For me 2016 & eternal has some of the best music ive heard for a long time, tracks like UAC atlantica & immora heavy fighting really hit the spot.

i don't think it's that good, it's alright though

Yeah it's different yet it had no impact on my enjoyment of the game. Personally, I think the importance of music in Doom is quite overrated. The game would still be a masterpiece with all sorts of different music/sundtracks.

Mick Gordon and Andrew Hulshult.

It's just djenty deathcore that I can play on guitar in my sleep...not hating on the music it fits very well just sayin I don't think that digitized guitar sound is cutting edge at all. The 90s says hello. I do think the composer is overrated imo.

I think it isn’t tiring because it’s dynamic so the heavy stuff plays during the combat where you’re mostly pay attention to combat and the ambient isn’t offensive. Plus it’s supposedly made out of samples that create a slightly different experience depending on how the game mixes them together, which is neat.

There is no single trace of Deathcore. The music is heavily modulated with a lot of noise, synths and layered guitars apart from the core sound. The synths MAKE the sound.
it's not just some "Riffs" playing in the background.

The music is superb. Cyberpunk 2077 is on the same level when it comes to combat music, if not better. That game has a legendary and godlike OST, from the Radio, Ending Songs and obviously in-game music.

The music has to fit the game, and it does. There are a dozen other OSTs that are great, with different genres. Final Fantasy, NieR Replicant/Automata, Shadow of the Colossus, Bloodborne, Persona, Silent Hill. And the list just goes on and on.

And while i am not really into "Metal" per se. I do like Crust Punk and heavy Feedback.

the problem i have with DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal's soundtracks is, there just isn't enough of them.

You obviously don't play guitar. I know there's different sounds going on. I write metal music myself and produce, and I write industrial too. It still has that bouncy djenty deathcore style of riffs. That was my point and that is my opinion take it or leave it. Btw deathcore sucks anyway lol.

[Sticky White Stuff]

And you obviously don't know anything about music despite playing a guitar.
There is no single trace of deathcore in the music. Deathscore sucks hard,
Yes, it has a light djent sound to the guitar and riffs, however that isn't the primary source of the sound, it's just the basis and fundation for everything that is layered above it.
What comes ABOVE it is the primary source of what makes the music good.


If it is your "opinion", then i don't have to take it or leave it. I can argue with it. Because it's an opinion, not a fact. If the music was just based on guitars alone, it wouldn't be anything to write home about. But it isn't. The small amount of breakdowns do not correlate to deathcore, the breakbeats and breakdowns in Doom are too short and small for anything that would be considered deathcore or even influenced by it, because the djent sounds themselves do this. The riffs themselves are very simple, but very effective, again, due to the modulation and layers of sound above it.

It's not about the raw sound, but the post-production and how everything stacks together after it has been layered with the guitar itself. It has more bass and the electronic components actually make the end sound. It's those elements that make the music great.

lol

You can lol all you want, but you know it's true. Without any of the electronic sounds and modulated noise, the music would be generic as all hell.
