I'll be honest here too, E1M3 was pretty forgettable imo, but then again, it is the bridge to E1M9 which is a pretty cool level that utilizes all of the keys and gives the player as much weapons as possible without breaking the difficulty of the episode.
It really is, look at the narrative of the level design. its basically random ass hallways and rooms stuck together while you're flopping around looking for switches and hoping they open some kind of wall in the corner
It is in a major key, I believe E flat mixolydian. Major keys tend to sound more "friendly" and "relaxing". The trick is that the synth element is playing subtle notes called "passing tones", which are not particularly IN the key, but provide special "flavors", if used in the right circumstances. Hence, the "eerie" quality. :)
I truly love the 90s but now in 2022, people are simping over fucking 2d girls and are really sensitive. With people having their own pronouns. We are slowly evolving but backwards
I hope not.. this I say is more comparable to Perturbator. hell his music and settings always has Satan and the pentegram in his albums. And one album even had buff sc-fi demons.
It kinda relaxes me, but the "DUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUNDUN" in the background gives me anxiety, cant belive doom can have these kind of effects on the player, fucking masterpiece.
I love how the more damage you took your face would have blood and be mangled and the doom guy would look around or when you got the shotgun he had a big grin that’s detail you don’t see in games nowadays
I don’t want to understate the impact this game had on me. I was 12 when released and saw it first on my cousins IBM PC. It scared the living shit out of me, but I wanted more. Finally got it and Doom 2 at home, then played it to death for years. It was everything. This is my favourite level music. Just fucking awesome.
Being able to play Doom95 with 640x480 no slowdown whatsoever and having Level Select was my world for one entire year... The Windows MIDI instruments were a big part of the experience 🤘🤘
I remember playing this as a kid. I've been playing the games feverishly in the BFG edition and I remember now why I love gaming. :D I can't wait for 4!
First time I played it, year 1995, alone in my house, rainy day, storm and dark, so freaking scared but falled in love with this game, the music still remmeber me every stage, thanks Id for created this amazing game.
So calming and relaxing I love it this game is beautiful the levels the music the feeling of being isolated on mars with demons classic man RIP AND TEAR
Never let anyone tell you to never add reverb to a kick(especially on a minimalist track without a lot going on across the frequency spectrum). Not sure why but I thought of Goro's fight theme from the first Mortal Kombat movie.
Man there's just something so tasty about the drum sounds that came out of these soundcards. This will still sound incredible in a century for tone alone
In year 1994 I was an Amiga fan. Doom changed ALL. So great musics, great visuals, great fun!!! In 1994 I saw Doom, and I thought "Rest in peace, my dear Amiga.". \m/
I just realized which song this lifts from, "If I Ever Thought You'd Be Lonely" by ABC. Compare the synth riff at about 43 seconds into that song to the general repeated riff of "Dark Halls" and they're virtually identical.
it always reminds me of the spectre on nightmare level! lol! my head automatically associate the moggy bass to its quick step, and the sinister pads to its invisibility!
The introduction to the demon, Which happens in this level, Along with Multiple switches for secrets is the reason its my favorite of the shareware other than of course the ambience and getting a soulsphere for the first time ❤
This is one of my favorites soundtrack from doom I can listen to dark halls doom 1993 is truly one of a kind first person shooter that no videogame can match it had the best technology and graphics for its time
Still my favorite FPS game. I dont think anything since was honestly better. New games dont have the same amounts of enemies at once because 3d huge poly models just are too expensive compared to sprites.
Dubstep is actually a scam. Noone seems to remember the (actually pretty decent) nineties genre called "Drum n Bass". It was this really spacy, rythmic, snare-rushy triphop and dance music hybrid. Then the wankers came in, enter "bass inflation" where beats had to be harder and deeper, to the point where boxes would just rattle. People mistook this for a proper beat and the WUBWUBWRRFFSH was born, 10 years later reinvented as "dubsteb". Dubstep = shitty DnB recycled for shitty hipsters.
Dubstep is an enormous genre with many subgenres within it, encompassing hundreds of thousands of songs often extremely unique from one another. I dare say dubstep is as broad a category as metal. But it's having some growing pains in naming convention. These electronic musical forms have gone through several names in the past: disco, trance, electronica, drums and bass, and now electronic dance music. Nobody really agrees on which types fit into which categories. It's all inter-connected regardless what you call it, and if anyone tells you "I listen to dubstep" but all they listen to is a bass-busting, window-shattering sausage-fest of failure to understand how sound transmission works, then that person is listening to a very narrow slice of the pie.
Dude, no one cares about who wrote the song. Just listen to it. Every DOOM music video I see its always "oh Metallica this or slayer that". It's DOOM now.
You Forget A 1000 Things A Day What matters is that these songs made it into Doom. Check out my channel for new Heavy Metal tracks I'm recording for Doom.
+You Forget A 1000 Things A Day It doesn't even really sound metal, either. It sounds more like the music you'd hear on some alien planet, almost mystical and mysterious.
strange but I always remember Mario 64 when I listen to this. That ambient and desolate background sound, I think it especially reminds me of the track "Cave Dungeon"
Hey, who were the 8 zombies running on Kool-Aid out there that thought Bobby Prince didn't put a good effort into this? Believe me, folks, we know when there's GOOD track out there, and THIS is probably one of the more memorable Episode 1 tracks Doom has EVER had.
@@ripmo3503Yeah, but now that number is up to 23... Who are the Doom music haters?! Perhaps they need an education about what kind of marvel these tracks were back in the early '90s!
Never has walking in an HomeDepot been more atmospheric than playing this on your Phone while wearing earbuds.
Looking for switches in Home Depot like “augh” “augh” “augh” “augh”
did you kill everyone inside?
Yep, you see the chainsaw in a center display, then you go and reach for it, and yep, brushing the teeth of a bunch of weirdos.
I can see it,

When I was minding my business on the ARC Complex level in Doom Eternal, and then a revamped but faint version of this came on, I lost it.
@Monsterman1315 That level in doom eternal is called sams base which is the name of the song in doom eternal as well.
where in the arc complex
never mind i found it, i love that so much
Ikr!
Yeah, it’s always a pleasure hearing new renditions of the original soundtrack in newer games.
This track is so calm and atmospheric compared to E1M1
and the level was garbage too, but that's life i guess.

That's why I turned it into a dark ambient song when I remade it ! My favorite with Sign Of Evil, which is pure bliss.

Can I play, Daddy?
@@AmoGus-s7zah yes, the Wolfenstein difficulty
This is oddly somewhat relaxing and soothing, despite being sinister and eerie.
Its an odd song

doom 64 in a nutshell
This is the 90's summarized.
God, these were the best years.
The 90s where the best men
I think if you told this to yourself while you were living in the 90’s you wouldn’t think so. You are likely just experiencing nostalgia.
@Mr. crusader plenty of great games tho
Bruh this song is way ahead of its time, its not 90s. This is like late 2000s/early 2010s... this is dubstep in the 1990s, crazy.
I truly love the 90s but now in 2022, people are simping over fucking 2d girls and are really sensitive. With people having their own pronouns. We are slowly evolving but backwards
Did anyone else hear this in Eternal?
Edit: While replaying levels for secrets in Eternal, I heard a part of this in the ARC Complex
I hear a bit of it in the main menu too
I mean the Arc Complex is basically the Toxin Refinery, with the Waste Tunnels from Doom II thrown in
You can hear throwbacks in different tracks throughout the games. Mick Gordon is a genius.
On Exultia, you can hear the tune that plays during the text epilogue at the end of episodes 1-4 from Doom 1. It's pretty rad
@@sad-death That's the Super Gore Nest, that's the one with extensive sewage tunnels
don't you even dare compare this to fucking dubstep
Gggmanlives The Legend himself. I just came from your Doom video where you said this was your favorite song from the OST.

Absolutely, totally and completely. This is the Stickerbush Symphony of Doom tracks.
Dark halls is perfect for stealth missions
It's the best one for sure

Although I didn’t live through the 90’s but grew up playing the games from the time, it still never fails to amaze me how fun they must’ve been
Another slice of genius by the composer Bobby Prince!
This song makes me feel like I'm inside a beige tower. Experiencing what people in the late 1980's visualised cyberspace as
Damn spectres!
Musical Genius.
I loved how they used this for level 2 of Plutonia.
Man there's just something so tasty about the drum sounds that came out of these soundcards. This will still sound incredible in a century for tone alone
Not 100 percent sure on this, but I think MIDI drumkits were sampled from Tama kits 🤘🤘 Tama huge sound
You can actually hear this in the Arc Complex Ambient
It's in the old main menu theme too. (The one made by Mick Gordon)
I could listen to this one all day.
You can hear this song in the ambience of the ARC Complex in Doom Eternal. That's fucking sick.
Hints of it in the menu theme too
I like panzer tanks

Thank you
When your grandma walks pass you staring at you, but you realize she's been dead for 5 years:

What I like about oldschool Doom is that whether you're lost in a level or blasting your way to freedom, you're bobbing your head while doing it.
Gotta love the cymbals at 1:34
My favorite Doom song. I love the synth.
This is probably my favorite level in the game
Probably the best soundtrack in the game, if not the best level.
In year 1994 I was an Amiga fan.
Doom changed ALL.
So great musics, great visuals, great fun!!!
In 1994 I saw Doom, and I thought "Rest in peace, my dear Amiga.".

My favorite music in Doom very calm love this game :)
These tracks are so catchy. I love going back and playing these games, ESPECIALLY doom 2
I just realized which song this lifts from, "If I Ever Thought You'd Be Lonely" by ABC. Compare the synth riff at about 43 seconds into that song to the general repeated riff of "Dark Halls" and they're virtually identical.
Played doom for 20+ years and only recently realised how much i love this track. Probably my favourite in all of Doom.
I really like this song! It doesn't sound dark, evil nor disturbing at all, just cool amd chilling music 😎
I find this to be the greatest ambient-ish track in any game or media for that matter ever. Fight me on this, I WILL stand my ground.
it always reminds me of the spectre on nightmare level! lol! my head automatically associate the moggy bass to its quick step, and the sinister pads to its invisibility!
I can play this game, and Doom 2, for hours listening to this music, it never gets old!
This song doesn't sound the same without the constant sound of imps screaming, and hydraulic doors opening and closing.
I like how its the third map and is named dark halls. And then doom 3 happened, just as the prophecy foretold
This feels like the Dire Dire Docks of Doom
I felt this comment in my soul.
This game would make the title “Dire Dire Docks” sound far batter. As Dire insinuates death or hell. Mario 64 didn’t deliver on that 😂
To anyone that's seen Deadpool & Wolverine, the LFG theme really invokes this classic tune!
These pointless arguments are hilarious XD
Man, what a lifetime experiences the 80s and 90s were. Nothing short of amazingness and awesomeness.
fav doom song
This song kicks ass.
I can't believe there's 25 people who thumbs downed this tune ! A Classic ! They must be infected ....
