DOOM Eternal: The Heavy Metal Choir 

Just here to listen to a composer that didnt deserve the bullshit he got. You're a real one Mick!

When Mick Gordon turned 18 his parents moved out

The amount of potential that was utterly squandered by Id is mindblowing. Hopefully Mick gets justice.

Mick Gordon: dies and goes to hell The demons: _oh shit_

If you ever feel useless, remember the doom games have a “mute music” option

Imagine walking into the studio to find people in a red lit room standing in a half circle chanting demonic slurs

It's absolutely CRIMINAL that eternal never got an official OST release. Coming back here to relisten to that choir chant being so gutteral and powerful and also discovering Nature's passing makes it even more sad 😥

Nature's voice is a very very iconic part of this game's soundtrack, it's unfortunate to hear he's no longer with us.

Everyone: *Deep gutteral chanting* Mick Gordan: *Glitter Shoes*

*Heavy metal choirs* Looks like the most nicest people I've seen

Re-watching this with the full context of Mick's response to Stratton's reddit post makes me so sad. Mick gave everything he had to this game and they completely fucked him over for it. I hope he gets what they owe him and more.

Mick, I hate that you had to endure such awful hardships during the process of making music that gamers and musicians could love together. To watch this video now, knowing what I know now, is heart breaking. You may never see this, but you’ve got a huge stream of support and are very much loved. Please keep your head up, and please keep making incredible music, even outside of video games. Thank you for the art you create and for prioritizing the truth.

Mick's building an army of Doom Slayers.

Choir teachers: alright give us some beautiful music. Mick Gordon: I want these screams to open up that pit.

It's honestly a miracle what Mick Gordon was able to create with this game's score under such poor conditions, and that's taking nothing away from his supreme effort. This man is a modern master of music composition, and he should absolutely be held in such regard. Can't wait to hear what he makes next!

Just to think how they mistreated a guy who was so influential with the franchise's success..

Mick is so calm. *and it scares me.*

i still can't get over this one comment under one of doom ost vids. "my dog exploded"

I love the immaculate effort you put into DOOM ETERNAL. I am sorry about the HEADACHE and BULLSHIT you went through trying to get your OST into the game. you deserve all of the praise for DOOM ETERNALS music.

After reading Mick’s massive statement shedding light on the shit he went through trying to bring this music to life, it really stands out more how much effort goes into these kind of productions and how awful it is that he was robbed of credit where it’s deserved and pay

Mick out here creating a literal cult for DOOM eternal's music

id in 2016: No metal, Mick id in 2020: Mick, we need more metal

"we want the game to be a heavy metal album experience" any metal band: we would love to be a doom experience

bruh.... I'm fully convinced anything Mick Gordon puts his hands on becomes a masterpiece

Mick Gordon: “As humans, we relate to voice. It touches us on a deeper level” Also Mick Gordon: Chainsaws are instruments, and touch you and demons on the deepest level

Doomguy: is chainsaw an instrument? Mick Gordon: yes doomguy chainsaw is an instrument.

absolute legend and absolutely unfair the shit you went through

We should replace our Catholic choirs with this. _Change my mind._

The candles are the most important part of all, you don't get the right tone without the right mood.

1:05 Rest in peace Nature Ganganbaigal, lead throat singer for Tengger Cavalry.

Something about the guy doing Mongolian Throat Singing while just casually holding a coffee cup in a candlelit room full of metal vocalists just makes me happy

This is what happens when you give guys like Mick room to work and not dumbass studio shit. Mick you are a blessing

Never forget: A voice in the choir you hear in game is a Mongolian throat singer.

Mick: “we need more metal.” Bethesda: “I don’t think so...” Mick: “DID I STUTTER?”

it feels a lot different watching this after knowing chad mossholder was mixing the official ost for release behind mick’s back .___.

Man, after reading your response, I can only imagine what you have been through. It was fucking horrendous the way I'd Software treated you. Utterly professional. I stand by you and your work.

2:27 I never noticed the candles are arranged to make the Slayer's Mark

My boy Mick here creating a new genre, "Argent Metal"

They tried to turn down this masterpiece wow

Just dropping by to say you are f*cking awesome. Never forget it! #JusticeForMickGordon

Year 2030: mick gordon summoned demons for soundtrack

Imagine the janitor walking into this

Mick we love your work and you didnt deserve any of the trauma that came your way. I imagine even working with them on this was awful. I wish the very best for your INSANELY talented mind.

Sending love, Mick. Sad and angry to hear that id/Zenimax put you thru so much trouble. Wishing you all the best

Plot twist: Mick Gordon is the Icon of Sin at the end of Doom Eternal.

Bethesda: "So um, we really don't want heavy metal in Doom 2016." Mick: *does it anyways* Bethesda: "Oh, oh they like it?' And now there's heavy metal choir cults singing in Doom Eternal. What a series of events.

Just finished reading your letter and my heart goes out to you man. I cannot even fathom the amount of stress you've endured for the last two years. I wish you nothing but the best moving forward, hopefully we see a change in the industry in the future.

DOOM 2016: "Rip and Tear, until it is done." DOOM Eternal: _"You can't just blow a hole through the surface of mars...!"_

Glad the album is coming with a free game

This is the guy Bethesda tried to smear, the dude who put THIS MUCH work into the soundtrack. His effort and creativity shows, one of my favorite video game soundtracks of all time.

Mick I think you should make your own stand-alone death metal soundtrack. Cuz oh my god I need more of that. You absolutely killed it with doom

I have never seen so much concentrated anger in a single room. It’s friggin awesome.

It's like a church choir. *BUT ALSO NOT A CHURCH CHOIR*

This man... he brought me back to playing Doom. I played all the originals, even Doom 3. But when I got around to playing Doom 3, seeing what they were doing in that trailer for 2016... I felt it was lost... getting the chance to listen to the soundtracks for Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, that was what brought me back into the fold. Doom Eternal truly is a 60 dollar soundtrack with a free game attached, and it was worth every cent just to listen to this. Mick, if you ever read this: Thank you. From one artist to another, (even if I draw, and you do music) thank you so much for making these soundtracks. I'm sorry you got screwed in the end for such great work.

Mick: really kind and caring His music:

I'm playing Animal Crossing with the DOOM ost and vice versa, can't wait.

Me: Oh so your in a choir, so like religious music? Them: You can say that.

I first watched this video a bit after I got into metal, and Doom, and now I know and love most of the bands, their vocalists were there and that's just a whole different experience to watch

@Mick Gordon I saw the post, just wanted you to know most of us got your back.

Doom 2016: "We don't want guitars" *Mick Gordon sneaks in some guitars* Doom Eternal: "We want the whole game to feel like a heavy metal album experience"

"Okay, Mick, no guitars in the game's soundtrack" Mick: *glare* "Put lots of guitars in the game's soundtrack"

You and Ghost have been the two things getting me into metal!! It’s all so good! I’m a big fan of The 1975 and have mostly listened to that type of music before now, but I love this so much, and now you’re in my top 5 artists on spotify!!! So much love!!!!!

what a talented amazing musician i sure do hope he is paid fairly for his hard work

"We want the whole game to feel like a heavy metal album experience" This is awesome. Music is such an integral part of a good game and it's really nice to see developers put in 100 percent to make sure their game has a soundtrack that perfectly fits the game thematically.

"Yes, hello, welcome to the Doom Eternal heavy metal choir session. We'll begin with some vocal warm ups. And a 1, and a 2, and a 3... *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*

Ah thank you RU-vid for bringing this beauty again after all that’s been happening to this man

This is a man who understood his assignment, and surpassed every single expectation. Im so excited to hear what you make for atomic heart!

You know it's quintessential Doom, when a behind the scenes music video has to be rated M. That M stands for Metal by the way.

Did you notice the "In Memoriam Nature Ganganbaigal" at the end? Our boy has passed away before he got to see his work being released. Pay your respects to Nature "Metal AF" Ganganbaigal yall

awesome video, so cool to see behind the scenes of a master at work

I have to come back to this video every once in a while because it’s just so fucking cool

Please take this mans brain when he dies and put it in a glass case to be admired for centuries.

These people are amazing. Rest easy, Nature Ganganbaigal.

This music is absolutely amazing. I legit didn't enjoy metal before, now I love it.

We stand with you Mick ❤️

2016: this is pretty heavy 2020: now we're hitting warhammer levels of heavy

Sucks nature died he was such a good Mongolian metal voice glad they added him in doom.

#JusticeForMickGordon

Watching this amazing footage now with the awful context of what was actually happening is just heartbreaking.

Without a doubt Mick is the most passion-filled creator I know. I've spent days and days trying to mimic sounds from Doom 2016 in FL Studio using some of his talks from conventions (GDC is the best for it btw). Whilst he's obviously a lot more skilled then me, one thing you realise trying to mimic him is that he doesn't cut corners, in fact he does way more work than needed and even bent the rules he was given to make Doom 2016 an unforgettable experience. Doom 2016 was anazing but it wouldn't have been much more than "it's okay" if it wasn't for Mick. I haven't ruined Eternal's soundtrack yet, I want to enjoy it in the game for the first time. If you give Mick some room to be creative, he'll turn it into audiable cocaine that'll hype you up for anything.

Ah yes, my favorite genre. VIOLENCE

You are awesome you inspired me to discover doom and love heavy metal

i like how half of them have a beer in their hands whilst making this

Halo: oooooooooooo Doom Eternal: OOO WA-AH-AH-AH

Bethesda: "No guitars." Mick: "Yes guitars and yes 30 man death metal choir." Bethesda: "... We don't have a choice do we?" Mick: "Oh yeah, and i'm going to need chainsaws."

Legendary work Mick, I love you.

Dear Mick, I'm so thankful for what you've create!! Your music and the amazing sound is keeping me up when the day was shit. Since 9 months I use the song "11. BFG Division" for my daily sport-sessions to defeat anger and depressive mind shit and I'm so happy with it!! Thank you so much ❤❤❤

1:11 When Rip & Tear wasn't nearly badass and aggressive enough, so Mick got a choir of growls and screams to scream what can only be taken as "rip and tear".

"We're recording a DOOM Eternal soundtrack" *accidentally summons demons*

I still come back to Doom Eternal just to listen to the music. There's nothing more accompanying then the sound track. You guys absolutely nailed it. A thousand congratulations! 😁✌️

Is there ever any chance you and Bethesda could bury the hatchet so we can hear this amazing soundtrack on Spotify?

Music used during the video; 1. Deag Ranak 2. Meathook 3. Hell on Earth (i recognized the soundtrack on Koma's Mix) 4. Gladiator Boss 5. The DOOM Hunter Thanks to Bruh Moment & Nico San Martin for completing the tracks on this video! 😊❤

id Software briefing: we don't like guitars Mick Gordon: understood... Uses a 9 string guitar and delivers the most brutal and heavy metal OST in game history. Brilliant.

Unbelievable that such an incrediblt talented and passionate music artist was treated with such disrespect. Amazing work and keep going!

Here to show my support as well. You're a legend.

Random person on the internet: You can make a religion out of Doom. Mick Gordon: I'm putting together a Heavy Metal choir. Me: He's making a fucking religion out of Doom.

Mick Gordon deserves way more than what he got, this dude is a damn genius when it comes to orchestra metal, all of his compatriots in the game that took part in this was unreal, but Mick brought it together and made it horrifically beautiful

Mick Gordon: When can you come out and sing in my Hell Choir? Every Singer: Yes

i appreciate this and every thing you do ceep up the amazing work

Here for Mick after all that he deserves and hasn't gotten yet 🙏
