![Beautiful DOOM Ambient Music | Sign Of Evil [E1M8] (w/ Choir & Piano)](/img/1.gif)
"Once you hear it, it lives in you for the rest of your life."
You got that right. Always brings me back to reaching Phobos Anomaly for the first time.
100%. And meeting Barons of Hell there for the first time ever. The sound they make when they wake up... damn I was scared as a kid.
I was 10 years old...now I'm 35
@@jangofett2336 I was 8... Im 33 now. Doom was a game i had to take in doses.. F'n terrifying, and now im a doom eternal battlemode god ✌🍻
Exactly. The melody just never left me and it's been 28 years.
im 41 and i still remember being in 6th grade, playing that level for the first time, the hell demons being revealed, the feeling of being all alone, and afraid.
“The wars over, but so much is wrong, broken.
We’re gonna stay behind, make sure to pick up the pieces but for now,
We suffer victory.”
Every time I hear this I openly weep. I'm having this be the song played at my funeral. This is so fucking powerful. I will never shut up about how moving this cover is.
Song I meant
@@christopherleone21 ?
So dark, so deep, so painful........ most of All ..So beautiful!
I could not have said it better myself. You crystallized my feelings for this Doom track. Thank you and stay metal. 🤘🖤
@@ShreddingDragon Stay metal!
This is so perfect man, I need to say a thing:
when Doomslayer plays his guitar he sings this song near a campfire, eating some marshmallows and enjoying some peaceful time. haha xD
cheers
@@StefanST That he does 😂 Thanks so much man!
like me with my sister in dark room, deep feeling into sister
Yeah really suitable for a demon killing game
Once you beat the big badasses and clear out the moon base you're supposed to win, aren't you? Aren't you? Where's your fat reward and ticket home? What the hell is this?
Aside from that, great work. In my opinion it keeps the same feeling as the original while sounding different enough to matter.
Thank you!! That makes me happy.
And one day I'll really have to make a cover of that episode end theme. Mick Gordon's version in Eternal was just otherworldly good.
Definitely one of the most stellar covers of the original Doom soundtrack - and with twists here and there :)
The soundtrack of PSX Doom ports are worth listening, too, they're dark ambient with eerie soundscapes that truly contribute to the primal atmospheric fear that the Doom game series compels, especially the hellish levels.
@@pistool1 The PSX and N64 soundtracks are great too. I've heard people say they don't fit Doom, but even the original soundtrack wasn't all metal, with tracks like Demons on the Prey, Opening to Hell, and of course Sign of Evil paving the way for that take on Doom.
Many covers can capture the emotion that Sign of Evil packs. Others can turn it into something more upbeat. What you have done is something else. That E1M8 feeling is amplified tenfold, and turned into something completely beyond anything I've ever heard. This is easily the best remake of Sign of Evil that I've ever heard, and I don't think it will ever be topped.
It doesn't matter how many people are in the room with me, this song makes me feel alone.
Sorry for not replying before. Something about your comment reached a deep part of me: That last sentence, it says it all. That's quote-worthy and very beautifully said. Thank you sincerely.
I some think big cropations are stealing from hard if a company like I’d is getting shout down Bescause I love doom❤
Wtf, HOW does this only have 84 views?! This is absolutely phenomenal!
Thank you, much appreciated! 🤘
Well that's it, I'm learning acoustic to play that solo part...
First solo:
1(Fourth fret, high string, use your third finger.
2(Second fret, slide to the third fret still on the top string. Use middle finger.
3(first fret, still high string, use your first finger.
4(go to the second highest string, and use your third finger on the fourth fret there
5(directly after doing step 4, immediately go to the third fret on the high string using your middle finger
I myself am still learning the rest.
Just so you know, I’m talking about the part at 1:05. The part at 0:00 is a bar cord, which is VERY HARD for a beginner, but considering it’s been 9 months, you probably should have done something with your guitar by now.
👍
🙏!!
The Man himself gave his blessing
!!!
"Welcome home, great Slayer."
One day in the past all these rooms were full of demons and players. Nowadays, they still have their lights on, their barrels can still be exploded, their bodies still burn, but no player visits them anymore. Hell now seems calm. Good video.
I've been looking everywhere for a good metal cover of this song. You knocked it out of the goddamn park. This is just fantastic! Please keep making more!!!!!!!!!

“Happiness Has To Be Fought For…”
This is one of the best versions I've heard of this song. I love it so much.
Thank you for the support, and glad to hear you like it!!
this is way too under-viewed and unnoticed....this has to be even top 3 of the best sign of evil remixes out there. amazing dude
also i love that little reference to the doom 2016 sign of evil choir at 6:32
Thank you so much man! Really appreciate your words. And also I'm so happy someone noticed the Doom 2016 choir reference, cheers! 🤘😄
Shredd of course! keep up the good work
it's #1
The ending really gave me goosebumps ,this remix is god tier.
Thank you so much!
It's everything I need in an E1M8 remix and more. Phenomenal
(also pairing the original with the 2016 choir is the best musical decision i've ever witnessed lol)
this is a professional fucking work, astonishing
Thank you, it means a lot to me!
2:50 is where it really gets good
Oh man, you're not lying. How that guitar sets in this mournful weep is just so, so good.
and 5:27 🔥
After listening this song for the umpteenth time, I started to hear a voice talking to me. I mean, literally, not figuratively, but a voice speaking in an exotic foreign language throughout the song, as if the bass could speak. Interesting experience, I must admit. Masterpiece.
I don't believe you because you sound like a super try hard edge master. But if I did believe you I would suggest getting help. You're not cool.
This cover is perfect, the melody, the switching of moods, and most of all the mix of instruments. It gives you the feeling of flashbacks, anger, sadness and an accurate presentation on how much torment DOOMGUY had to go through. This cover you made it well and perfect. Good Job 👍
Epic... the slow solo is haunting... and the added Latin chants actually fit in quite well.
Without a doubt it has become one of the versions of Sign Of Evil that I've liked the most, and I can dare to say that it's already my favorite :D
This is phenomenal, great arrangement, awesome mix, the chorus at the end is just superb, overall super balanced sense of musicality, just wow man. Great job indeed!
I can't thank you enough for your words. So glad you enjoyed this. Stay safe my friend, stay metal, let's all keep the Doom community burning eternally! 🤘
this is what god felt when lucifer rebelled
This touches my heart
This is really really good, the way it ebbs and flows, so much light and shade, and the Latin chants were fantastic also...brilliant re-imagining, really well done my friend :)
Thank you for the kind words!! 🤘💥 Much appreciated.
@@ShreddingDragon No problem 👍🏼
Dude, I felt this much emotion in very few songs. I especially love the mood shift when the distortion kicks in, it's like going from sadness/melancholy to despair. The way the guitar cries, I get chills...
Man. I just happened to have a bit of a bad day, and when I read your comment, it really lifted me up. Thank you so much for that. 🖤🤘
@@ShreddingDragon will me learning your cover if you give me the tabs cheer you up even more lol?
@@ChosenofDarkness8 Well for sure man! I've been meaning to make tabs. It's gonna take some time, but they're coming. Thanks :)
DUDE! This thing is sick! I've probably contributed about 20+ of these views by myself! You did an amazing job, and you nailed the feeling that Sign of Evil gives me: and ominous track that symbolizes the journey ahead.
Thank you so much for those kind words and support! You know, Sign of Evil really has that vibe - it's like that serene moment when you finally realize and accept how far deep in Hell you really are, and how long the journey home still is. That's powerful.
I have no words but I'm putting this on repeat
No words - just demons and your shotgun.
Beautiful.
Rip and tear
Until it is done.
10/10. Sublime, perfect capture of the feel of this track.
Thank you immensely. 🖤
This definitely captures the dark, melancholic tone of the original Sign of Evil, which is just fitting for House of Pain, as at that point you're deep in the bowels of Hell, a realm of hopelessness and despair.
Thank you so much. That melancholic loneliness is a strong element in Doom’s music and level design. The maps feel not so much like places you could travel between, but like dreams you could have… or nightmares, I should say.
One of the best covers ever of this song
Truly a piece of art
Thank you sincerely for the support!! 🤘
Two there were, two demons, two barons of hell.
God this is perfect, just the sadness, quiet, dark loneliness that swings into bitter hate, contempt, rage and screaming into the void as you feel embrace you and ultimately accept your fate.
Everything here is beautifully done and the Latin Choir is wonder touch! My only gripe is this isn't more popular and viewed. It's a wonderful experience and just captures a side of the original piece I never thought of.
So beautifully said! Thank you very much!
Perfect description. This song is helping me with a lot right now
i could really feel the sign of evil at this part 5:13
One of the few tracks I keep on loop on YT, I would like to see more of these on the future. Really well made.
Thank you so much, very much appreciated! I'm busy recording another project, but more Doom is underway and the next one will be from Episode 1.
that feeling of "Youre almost there, just push foward a little longer, its almost over" feeling running through your body when this song plays
i will never get tired of listening to this song, it's just too good to stop listening to it
This is very good! I hope more people find this.
El amor está temporal... pero DooM es Eternal... *_cocks acoustic guitar_*
El amor por esta canción será eternal
That intro is... Any possible compliment is unworthy of it. Holy shit.
I unliked this so i can like it again. Still listening to this song 2 years later.
I love this, its awesome.
I dont know if you know this but signs of evil is like a direct rip of Starless by King Crimson and so its awesome to hear someone play this song in a different direction and give it a heavier sound
The way the guitar is played... you can feel it in the bones!
It lives in me. I fucking love this song. Great rendition dude.
Thank you so much, really appreciated! All the best to you, slayer.
Oh, yes. Amazing cover. I love the progression from acoustic and then hard metal from 3:00 on. Unexpectedly lush with guitar riff detail and delayed intro to the drums. 10/10!!
This reaches the core of everything inside me.
this alongside the Andrew Hulshult version remains as one of the greatest video game music covers ever.
Oh man. This effing rocks. Just keeps getting better and better.
"The house of pain is actual pain"
-civvie11
This should be called "Once upon a time in Hell"...
Suena increíblemente bien.
Me encanta la atmósfera de soledad y poder que transmite.
Esto es insuperable
Muchas gracias! ❤
He chose the path of perpetual torment.
May the blood on his sword never dry, and we never need him again.
Wait a minute, near the end I heard a bit of III. Dakhma in the background. Nice dude
I will never forget the first time I got to Phobos anomaly. I didn’t think anything of the music at first, as it is just some drums and a little chanting. Then once I killed the pinky’s and got into that hallway with the torches right before the elevator, it hit. I had to stop, and I cried. I remember being able to feel the sadness and rage that doom guy must’ve felt by this point. Great experience.
This mix is one of the best I’ve heard. Most give the track a more upbeat vibe, but shredd, if anything, made it deeper, sadder, and more moving. This man deserves more subs
This is a great mix of E1M8!!! Keep up the great work!
In my opinion, this cover deserves a million views. It's high quality and beautifully crafted.
This is beyond BEAUTIFUL! I've always loved the somber ones in the original Doom & Doom 2 soundtracks, e3m4 (Sign of Evil), d_victor (The End of DOOM), and d_read_me, and I've been listening to them since I first played Doom in 1994. They are masterpieces in their own right.
But this remake is on another level!
always loved the tone of despair to this track, went hand in hand with the theme of Doom itself. Great cover.
As he gazed upon the blood of his enemies that stained his hands, he realized that his mission, his quest, his crusade… had only just begun. He approached the portal, shotgun drawn, blood boiling, and heart full of rage, ready to do what he was created for… to *rip* and *tear* the forces of Hell to shreds…
I think the only thing I don't like about this, just on a first impression basis, is that I was really hoping it would maintain the haunting atmospheric acoustic because it's almost impossible to find a cover that doesn't break out into an epic metal song and I was really hoping this would be different. But it is still good, on its own merits this is one of the best covers.
481 views for a remix that is done VERY well. Course titling E4M4, most people don't even search that up since most people remember it as E1M8. But hey, its still really nice, I love how you conducted this remix. Yes, remix, not cover since this is more than a cover, its a makeover from the original and I love it to bits! I'm gonna try my best to post this on my FB and all for ya man, this needs A LOT of love!
Wow, thank you so much! I truly appreciate it. And you're right, most people likely look for E1M8 Phobos Anomaly first. However the reason why I personally chose E3M4 instead was that the name "House of Pain", and the level's visuals, always made me feel strongly about this music track. For me, they all belong together in that certain melancholic style which I love.
Not to say that "Phobos Anomaly" wouldn't make an awesome prog metal track name!
@@ShreddingDragon Hey brother, I just wanted to let you know that I also added a tiny segment of your cover in my Doom Eternal Part 22 video as an outro. I obviously credited you in my desc because this SoE is one of the best that exists. Thank you again for making this masterpiece
I forgot to mention, a late mention, that your work is also in rotation in DOOM Radio - Beats to rip/tear to. So now, people who tune in there will have a chance to hear your song randomly and flock over to your channel! :D
Holy shit this is good af
Or should I say hellish shit
@@jesusrosales6888 Absolutely 😂
This is SIIIICK! I remember this from the game so well, but have never heard it sound so good!
It's just... one of the best. I have it liked and saved in one of my playlists. Great job!
Hauntingly beautiful, I have no words worthy enough. Thank you for this cover and I wish you the best!
People need to see this!
bro this is amazing! Great work
This deserves soooo many more views. An absolute work of art. You did this track justice. 🤟
I'm more than just impressed, great work
Thats really amazing, wow... Just WOW!
one of the best songs i've eber heard man!! keep up thr good work.
This is just spectacular.
You did what i couldn't do years ago and make a worthy tribute.
And the images.. man it feels like pictures from a childhood home full of memories and familiar locations.
Thank you.
So powerful and moving. Such a beautiful song to cover. This is one of my favorite doom songs. Thanks for doing this song.
This is one of the best covers of this song I ever heard.
So far this is the best cover I've heard for this song.
/bows deeply
One of the best covers for all time, btw i love the transition between the guitars
This is beautiful, thank you!
Damn it, this really is a stroke of genius! Great respect for this work!
This i by far the best cover/remix I've heard of this song! And I also love the visuals
Great work, this absolutely deserves more attention
2024 and stills my favorite music.
Nunca había escuchado nada igual, tantos remixes pero ninguno tan epico triste y emocional como esté!!!
love every second of this piece of art
This is really great.
Thank you!
Yooo this remix slaps , never heard something like this before
Love this it’s really beautiful. The choir especially at the end gives me the vibes of the victims of hell crying out in pain and sorrow. Also dig the inclusion of suspense at the end that was really subtle but those two songs really work well together.
found this 2 years ago, still part of the main rotation, great song great work
This is an absolutely amazing cover, from the first second all the way to the last, and showcases such a passion for the original track and the game itself. I absolutely love it, and wish there were more covers of this caliber on youtube for classic Doom songs. Keep up the amazing work, because you've got some serious talent!
Thank you so very much for that. I will. It's been a while now, but once life calms down a bit, more will be on the way. I love Doom and its music, and I have plans for many covers.
Amazing work dude, the song is beautiful, well-played, arranged, and full of feeling. Just the right feeling for this piece
Thank you so much for the encouraging words! 🤘🖤
Absolutely phenomenal, great work!
Thank you so much!
This is beautiful. Thank you.
Killer job! Awesome bass tone, really makes everything pop more.
Thankyou! The bass tone (and playing) was by HorttanaMusix, via his own pedalboard and settings. I did very minimal EQing afterwards. He should have videos on his bass setups on his channel, check the video description if you're interested.
This is so unbelievably good I can't even put it in words. Thank you for making this gem of a song!
Thank YOU for listening and supporting! 🤘
The perfect synchronicity
i was 12 when I first heard this, almot 40 years later the remixes still haunt me
Doom was not made in 1983...
@@jasonturek6671 didnt say it was.
@@blinkth3dog you said "almost 40 years later" after hearing this for this first time
@@jasonturek6671 you realize a 3 and 4 are next to each other. gosh you never made a typo?
@@blinkth3dog edit your comment then
Can really feel the despair and raw emotion in this piece man 😔
Bro, I didn't expect it to be good at this level 🔥
Actually amazing. The sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small channel and the actual cover is sick! One of my favorite osts
just want to let you know that i come back here every once in a while, and yup, this is one of my favorite game osts of all time and this has to be the best rendition of this track. props!
