      Freddie Thorendale was involved in the wolfenstein gametrack. The pipeline from meshuggah to doom could be mentioned if it wasn't sonically glaring enough. The way Mick created the sounds for the doom score was really interesting as it was largely analogue processing. Nice piece and its great to see Mick getting the acknowledgement he deserves. ❤

    Mick is one of the nicest guys. He generously donated $1k to my wife’s cancer fund without ever meeting us. We did end up meeting for dinner at a later date. I’m eternally grateful. I’m a huge Killer Instinct fan, he was hired to make the music for the 2013 sequel. It’s safe to say everyone I’ve talked to thinks he nailed the sound and paid great homage to the original soundtrack. He’s insanely talented.

    There's no denying Mick Gordon's massive influence on the development of the metal genre, but like all pioneers he stood on the shoulders of giants. Namely, Meshuggah, whose unique blend of synths, low-tuned guitars, and driving unconventional rhythms also defined an entire genre: Djent.

      Djent is always one of those genres I like to hear, then wonder where more is. It's not a very common genre AFAIK, but it's got lots to enjoy about it. I'd say the only problem I have with it is that it can be substantially weird or funky, to the point some people would get cold feet sharing songs of the type.

It wasn't until a friend picked up The Mortal Kombat soundtrack that I finally found out who they were because of Zero Signal. Back then you couldn't just make Beavis and Butt Head mouth guitar noises into your phone to find out the name of a song. At least not without ending up in a padded cell. Point is that game is when I learned I like metal.

    Owning a physical copy of DOOM 2016's soundtrack is so awesome. I really hope Mick and ID can come together again at some point to finish and release DOOM Eternal's OST. I'm doubtful, but hopeful.

  • @maxheilman5314

    Underrated aspect of this ost is how it blends with the game play. During more atmospheric transition parts where you’re mostly walking around or jumping through obstacles, the chanting ambience really keeps you on the edge of your seat. But I encourage you to try firing your gun when nothing’s going on. Listen closely and you hear guitars start when you start shooting. Also so cool how the heaviest parts start playing when you get a good kill streak. I especially noticed this with doom eternal. You get a few glory kills and all of a sudden you’re head banging while you carve your way through hell. So cool. Possibly my favorite power fantasy game ever.

    Idk djent was before the game and so was meshuggah. Seems like the Doom soundtrack was an extension of the already existing genre and created Argent metal. The sound from Doom existed before the game. I can think of lethargica from meshuggah or demiurge. Maybe some periphery with Icarus lives, or animals as leaders with wave of babies. And also the old doom game song was raining blood. And of course the clips in this video use the most djent of all guitars, and my favourite brand, mayones. Maybe I’m getting my timelines mixed up idk

    I've had this thought a lot since 2020. I also think the pandemic, where emotions of people were heightened from uncertainty, loneliness, and stress, made more people feel energized and longing to listen to more dramatic and heavy music.
    The memes about the Doom Eternal music also added a lot of popularity to the soundtrack, and associated the memes with the heavy music, which was positive feedback loop that fed into non-videogame metal.

      Trust me, there will come a time when you realize that Doom Metal is good too. You have heard of the legend, right? That Blues music is best written when you are really sad or hit rock bottom? Doom is just a revisit to that. This is coming from a Tech Death and Mathcore fan, which are some of the most ADHD genres out there.
      You will realize that lots of Modern Metal has Sabbath-worhipping inclination, be it consciously or subconsciously. I mean, let's get the obvious ones out of the way first; Trad and Stoner Doom. Still, there are still, the not-so obvious ones, like Sludge Metal, Post Metal, Death-Doom, Death Rock/Batcave, All the D-beat to Crust to Grind pipeline which contributed to early Black and Death, Black Flag"s My War side B, Beatdown Hardcore (aside from Hip-Hop culture), Groove Metal, Grunge (aside from Hard Rock and Punk/Alternative), Slam and Deathcore (They have actual founders, but the subcontious goal post, tho?) .etc.
      Heck, What is Groove, if not a revisit to Sabbath's grooviness without committing to the occult aspect? And Djent started with Meshuggah combining Groove and Death, to create their new sound, and what is the new Doom soundtrack, if not Djentcore music with Industrial and other electronic elements? Heck, with the modern Metal scene being stagnant with safe-sounding Djentcore bands in the market, Thall, a more doomy derivative of Djent, has emerged (yes, I know Thall started not THAT later than Djent). How about, ease your way into these Doom-adjacent genres first, before going into the tradder genres of Doom Metal? Give yourself the time first. It will come naturally.

      Doom Metal sounds better. I'm glad for what the doom game did for metal and it got some of my closest friends to give metal a chance who are now full on metalheads. But the video game's soundtrack has just never done anything for me. There's a couple motifs I heard that sound good, but a lot of it doesn't sound fresh to me. Just well produced. When I first listened to metal I thought it sounded disgusting, harsh and dissonant. Doom's soundtrack just doesn't have it. It also pisses me off with how many people LOVE it but won't give metal as a genre a chance at all, and still act like it's just a huge meme. Or any time metal is brought up they can only think of it in the context of the Doom soundtrack because their only interests in life consist of video games.
      Humanity's Last Breath would make a good Doom soundtrack. Listen to what they did for a Dota 2 music pack.

    Mick Gordon's influence is also seen in modern gaming since Doom 2016 and Eternal got so big. In the current indie space for shooter games, there's this massive appreciation to go back to both a simplier time while embracing the complexity that Eternal brought forward. The Boomer Shooter genre kicked off big and they're doing so well right now doing similar things as Doom Eternal from gameplay to soundtrack. That Argent Metal is appreciated in that space. Dusk, Ultrakill, Amid Evil, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40k: Boltgun, Prodeus and many more are big hits because the latest Doom Games made this type of First Person Shooter cool again. You can see it and hear it.
    So Mick Gordon changed Metal and influenced gaming. Shows you how important it is to be a daring creative!

    I had pre-ordered the DOOM Eternal Collector's Edition back in 2020. Those of us who got said Collector's Edition also got the entire soundtrack as a digital download. However, it did take a LONG time before we were ever able to download it because of the situation with ID. It may have been over a year to be honest. Mick mentioned the tracks being twice as many as the first game, there''s a total of 59 tracks on the Eternal soundtrack which is crazy. Considering the soundtrack was never released anywhere besides to us who bought the Collector's Edition, I'm glad I took the plunge and got it.
