Doom 3 music?

[Eagle Beak]

I'm playing Doom 3 for the first time. Installed Doom 3 absolute HD and I love it even more now.

However, I'm wondering why I don't hear any soundtrack? I always heard that Doom had a wicked Metal/Industrial soundtrack, but the only time I've heard a chord is in the main menu theme.

Will there ever be music playing during the game, to make demon slaying more enjoyable, or do I need to play my own music while I play?

I've spent about a half-hour trying to find answers on google and Steam forums, but I've only found a couple people talking about it.

Thanks in advance ;)

The classic ones have metal soundtracks, 3 is mostly ambient sounds.

I listened to the soundtrack from the original games and I thought they sounded terrible. That old 16 bit music is just garbage. You'd think that in 2004 they could have put in an awesome metal soundtrack throughout the game to make it more fun. But, I guess the menu theme is all we get.

I'm assuming they made this choice to give the game a horror atmospheric. After watching gameplay of Doom 4, I guess I just assumed all the previous games had the same "heavy metal badass" theme.

Thanks for the info guys. Due to this, I've stated playing Disturbed radio on Spotify in the background while I'm playing. I don't like horror games, and I started this game to play the badass older game before I buy Doom 4. I'm not even going to start the original 2 though. I've seen gameplay and its just such an incredibly simple and outdated game style that I would just be grinding through it hating every second. Half Life 1 is pretty much the oldest game I can play and still have fun.

It's not garbage, it's just made with contemporary limitations in mind.
Also this might help to reimagine them. http://www.perkristian.net/game_doom.shtml

Agreed, that was a bit inflamatory of me :/

I guess its just hard for me to appreciate 25 years later. I'm sure it was awesome for those playing back then.

Thanks for that.

The DOOM 3 theme was the first song I learned to play on guitar. Simple yet brutal.
