Mick Gordon - Doom (Original Game Soundtrack) 2016 FLAC

Soundtrack

Doom's soundtrack was composed by Australian musician and composer Mick Gordon,[73] with contributions by American electronic musician and sound designer Richard Devine.[74] Gordon met with id at their Dallas headquarters in mid-2014 to discuss composing music for Doom.[75][76] At their meeting, id instructed Gordon not to use guitars or write a metal score,[77][78] despite the original Doom having an ambient, thrash metal soundtrack by Bobby Prince,[76][79] as id felt that the genre had grown "corny".[76] Gordon was encouraged to use synthesizers,[80] and used them to create the sound Argent energy might make.[81] He designed several chains of effects units through which he passed sub-bass sine waves,[80][82] layered with white noise to make them audible on widely available speaker equipment.[83] According to Gordon, after "six to nine months [of] doing just synthesisers",[76] he convinced id to allow the use of guitars and began experimenting with augmenting their sound.[84] For the main riff of the main menu track, Gordon combined a nine-string guitar with a sample of the chainsaw from the original Doom.[85]

Gordon devised different soundscapes for Mars and for Hell, saying in an interview with Revolver magazine, "As the [Mars] environments were created by humans ... the music needed to sound like humans created it, too. ... That lead to Hell being more atonal, dissonant and weird."[86] Some tracks, such as "At Doom's Gate", contain homages to Prince's work for the original Doom.[84] Gordon also included Easter eggs in the soundtrack; shortly after the game's release in May 2016, players discovered pentagrams and the number "666" hidden in the track "Cyberdemon" via spectrogram.[87][88] Speaking to the Game Development Conference about composing Doom's soundtrack in 2017, Gordon revealed the presence of a reversed message, "Jesus loves you", in an unidentified track.[89] On February 7, 2019, Gordon confirmed the discovery of the final Easter egg on Twitter.
