Review

Mick Gordon's 'Doom (Original Game Soundtrack)' is a groundbreaking fusion of industrial metal and dark synth-rock that perfectly captures the demonic essence of the game's universe. Released in 2016, this 31-track behemoth doesn't merely accompany gameplay—it actively shapes the player's experience through aggressive, pulsating rhythms that mirror the relentless combat scenarios. Gordon's masterful use of distortion and innovative recording techniques creates a signature sound that's both technically impressive and viscerally affecting. The interplay between mechanical brutality and hellish ambience makes tracks like 'Rip & Tear' and 'BFG Division' standouts that have since become iconic pieces in video game music history.

What's particularly remarkable about this soundtrack is how it pays homage to the franchise's audio legacy while boldly pushing into new territory. The haunting atmospherics in 'Hellwalker' and 'Cyberdemon' demonstrate Gordon's range, balancing moments of eerie tension with explosive metal outbursts. His clever incorporation of 9-string guitars, synthesizers, and industrial machinery samples creates a soundscape that's uniquely suited to demon-slaying adventures. Gordon's work on Doom has since influenced countless game soundtracks, cementing his reputation as one of the industry's most innovative composers and helping to legitimize video game music as a serious art form worth critical attention. - Ellis
