I like to imagine that at this point in time, Doomguy has become so powerful that he just naturally radiates death metal, so the demons begin to panic as soon as they hear “The only thing they fear is you” playing in the distance.
Bro old doom is literally slayer the main song in doom is behind the crooked cross by slayer it also has the drums in angel of death on one of the songs old school doom has the be soundtrack ever
Understandable if he never works on a Doom game again after the shit they put him through, but I wish to thank him sincerely for every track he made. Flawless.
Old DOOM Music sounds like it wants you to just be jamming out having a fun time killing demons. New DOOM Music sounds like it wants you to embrace the bottomless rage of the doomslayer and kill them all.
Considdering that Mr. Gordon basicly helped me finish my montlong tials at the end of my apprenticship out of pure spite and raw powerfull anger and that Doom 1 helped me cool down afterwards, I will say that both are nice.
It's just 'cause the old music is limited by the sound capabilities of the time. It's an unfair comparison, really. More fair would be pitting the new music against some modern metal covers of the old soundtrack. (Though, most covers slow it way down for some God-forsaken reason.)
Playing the old DooM nowadays it is also a more chill game. You dont jump around erraticly, switching through 4 weapons in 2 seconds, glory kill to refill your health and ammo. It is a nice sunday afternoon game, there are tons of WADs to play through, so many that you cant play all of them in your whole life.
The originals are Metal through and through, but while I don't think the term's been adopted by people at large, I'd refer to the new Doom soundtracks as "Metalstep," which makes the most sense to me. Name any other genre that can get away with using a *_chainsaw_* as the lead instrument and you win an Internet.
@@vlim5601it is unique, it’s just not original. Bobby took melodies from rock music and remade them with electronic sounds, producing music unlike anything that existed at the time. While the new soundtracks are more original in their melodies & rhythm, they’re less unique (though still pretty unique) because they use the same instruments & therefore similar sounds to a lot of other metal music. Sorry to necro lol
@@CoralCopperHeadmodern Doom Soundtrack is not Metalstep, is Industrial Metal and Djent, similar to artist like Meshuggah, Fear Factory, Void Chapter, RTPN, and else Metalstep is more like Celldweller and Zardonic
Well, it's not a complete mystery if your soundtrack is putting together the most successful 80's rock and metal songs. The compositions hold and made the bands world famous, even in MIDI.
I love how the old guys look way more badass because they're hauling a stereo that weighs 4 times as much as they do while they bop around like it's nothing.
Love the ending, really shows that it doesn't matter if you started on doom 2016 or the original 90s doom, we can all agree both soundtracks slap harder than an Oscar award fiasco.
Exactly! My first one cover to cover (completed story I mean) was eternal (heresy I know) but all the doom games have a special place in my heart, because if you like doom, you like at least ONE soundtrack
@@D.H.1082 that is ok! Opinions are great to have, because if everyone agrees on everything all the time stuff gets boring REAL quick But I actually played trough 2016 since I wrote that comment (at least the rest of the way) and I gotta say I do understand what everyone means Eternal isn't a BAD game by any means, it's just not a great doom game Like 2016 for example, I think 2016 actually leans into the violence MORE than eternal, as well as having a much different feeling gameplay wise
OG Doom soundtrack: happy-go-lucky murder fest, fun for the whole family! Doom Reboot soundtrack: "we send unto them only you; rip and tear until it is done."
Funny enough the Original Doom was actually marketed as "fun for the whole family". I think it was the Bill Gates endorsement video or the behind the scenes of making Doom
So what you're saying is rip and tear until it's done then head back home and have some fun? (I know I'm trying too hard to push a Doom Crossing joke. Judge me harshly.)
both soundtracks are great, as are most iterations of doom (yes, even doom 3 was good in what it was trying to achieve (the question was WHAT it was trying to achieve))
Doom 3 was like a really long tech demo, still fun but definitely didn't feel finished. That's just a byproduct of the time it came out though, ID software wasn't doing so good.
Doom 3 was a horror, because doom actually didn't want to be badass but instead, scary. I mean, look at the lighting. LOOK AT IT!! Alot of places are really dark. Also, the demon designs. Tell me people from the 70s wouldn't be scared of those. The music is mysterious. That *one* texture surely came out from a horror game. So, that's why I think doom 3 tried to be a horror game. But then they realized *Oh, people like doom because it's badass...* And then they made doom eternal.
I think Doom soundtracks have always reflected how metal music sounds at the time. Old Doom soundtracks were influenced by thrash and heavy metal from the 80s and 90s, while new Doom is influenced from modern djent and deathcore.
@@suspicioususer A subgenre with enough traction becomes a genre, an from what it's seeming to be, argent metal may start being less of a subgenre and become a full on genre.
It‘s definitely one of the few franchises that fit that criteria, but definitely not the only one. One of the most obvious choices just have to be Resident Evil, which has changed way more often and far more drastically and every entry, except that railshooter and Umbrella Corps is great.
I just love how even younger generations who didn't grow up with or play doom 1 and 2 in their 20's can appreciate the timeless murderfest that IS DOOM... DOOM really does bring people together.
20’s? I had only just entered my teens. After playing Doom2 with just the PC speaker for almost a year I finally saved up enough to installed a SoundBlaster and a CD-rom in my 386.
Classic is a game that had and still does have great gameplay. Old is a game people thought was good but they really just thought the graphics were good at the time (but were actually crappy)
@@TheScrltspdrslayer There's no Doom 3. What are you talking about. Doom has always been about Doomguy/Slayer never had a game about a random dude in a horror game that wasn't badass 😬
Yes BUT you only heard 2 seconds of it. Old doom music is less consistent, but more varied in exchange I guess? It has many genres but they all tend to be hard rock-y
The new doom has E1M1 aswell. :P Its just hidden within the new songs! Also theres the updated version which is pretty cool too... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FuMV1htK0vk.html So it truly is a blend of old and new.... the ending is definitely accurate here.
Mick Gordon used the old songs a a reference point, that's why they fit. Check it for yourself, there was one video on YT analysing music from Doom Eternal and it displays that.
Lol how up beat and happy "i sawed the demons" is in contrast to the game still is so great, think its pretty even though the new one has some bangers too
Both old and new are good in their own way. New DOOM gets my blood pumping, while old DOOM makes me focused - I even listen to it while studying for my degree in child pedagogy. Probably shouldn't bring that up on interviews, but then again, being chased around by demon-spawn is exactly reminiscent of my experience of working in kindergartens.
I don't deny but I'm not a metalhead, so I'm sticking with the classic midi style, even if not necessarily all the tracks (sick of hearing At Doom's Gate by this point).
E1M1 and Mick Gordon's "at doom's gate" should've been put next to each other so people can hear the difference between the old & modern version of the same masterpiece.
Old Doom Music: Go and have fun killing demons New Doom Music:Take this shotgun, Now go and unleash all your anger on those impure beings until your soul is pure again
Maybe it's because I don't have the Nostalgia, but I think that the new Doom music is better than the old, but the old is still fun and kind of an 8-bit sort of way
It's a whole genre unto itself, and still going strong. Even for Doom, you can go have a listen to James Paddock, Stuart Rynn, Esselfortium, and so many others.
@@DinnerForkTongue Agreed, it's the technical limitations of chiptune music that really brings out the creative side of artists. They've gotta get inventive to make something great with something so limited in it's capabilities. That's why most of them are catchy ear worms like with old school Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Super Mario, Zelda, F-Zero & Megaman music as examples.
@@nintendogamer3227 Kings among all are the tunes composed by the Follin brothers (for Silver Surfer, Equinox, Pictionary and most of all, Plok). They seriously pushed the used pieces of hardware to their absolute limits.
To be honest I like the old default theme more than the new one there's more sharp edges in the notes and there's just something about sharp edges that I really like
True, I need to calm my edgyness from the new Doom music cause' while I still do enjoy playing Doom 2016 back then, I don't wanna get TOO intense since listening to old OST's always calm me down imo.
I honestly just love the old Tracks more thanks to their diversity, sometimes it can be funky or metal,and sometimes atmospheric like "opening in hell" and "nobody told me about Id" I love the new tracks but for me constant heavy meal easily gets tiring
I wouldn't mind a full blast metal ost either but mick gordon just did constant djent chugging. If it were thash metal it would at least have dynamic moods while staying intense
Yeah, same for me. I like metal. Just, listening to it for an hour or so, it gets really tiring. Short sweet and open fire from all cannons, thats how I enjoy metal.
I can legitimately say I stroll with both crowds. I grew up on the soundtrack of the original DOOM's and have lost my mind in recent years over Mick Gordon's masterpiece.
Old Doom Fans: "Hey dude! Check out this cool WAD i have! I'll win the mods award man! Our lives shall never change." New Doom Fans: "Haha looool Doom Guy so badass and coo. Hahahahhaha he killed a innocent anime girl in this vey funny video!!! Hahahahha so funny Dr. Jones! Rip and tear loooool"
Me a Doom 64 fan: (Listening to the haunting tracks of crying babies and wails of the damned) Also me: Man this is fire! EDIT: Every doom soundtrack is great! Doom 3 is a little iffy but the theme song is fire!
I like how new Doom music really puts the "hell" into its metal whilst as Doom 1 and kinda Doom 2 make seem more fitting towards Doomguy or a level itself such as a slow and eerie music warns the player however fast upbeat music movidaties the player to run and gun enemies. The same applies to modern Doom as its heavy metal basically makes the player feel like a god whilst they are killing enemies. But in the end, Doom music is Doom music, it's just personal preference.
The soundtracks of the new Dooms sound like the Doom Guy takes out his anger by killing demons. The older soundtracks seem like Doom Guy just wants to have fun killing demons.
Modern music from Doom sounds too simple. It does not give energy, just some supposedly epic sounds, nothing more. The music from the first two Dooms was really frightening and energizing. Yes, it was only midi, but it was so cool that such music helped to blend into the atmosphere of horror and chaos of these games.
You worded it perfectly, mick's music relies wayy too much on just the guitars having killer tone. If you take the music and put it on an old midi like the original doom soundtrack, it doesn't hold up at all because it isn't as interestingly written, mostly just chugs and maybe synths doing simplistic melodies halfway through
DooM (1993)'s music: The emphasis of Doomguy showing no mercy and sheer fucking will DOOM Eternal (2020)'s music: The embodiment of the pure chaos and carnage the Doom Slayer is causing
This could be applied to Wolfenstein as well, seeing as Return to Castle Wolfenstein’s music despite being older is far superior to all the newer games’ tracks combined.
@@owerio The PSX and Doom 64 tracks are better than either the original or the newer ones IMHO. They completely change the atmosphere of the game. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sKQdI29JRdU.html
@@owerio wrong. Many of them are great - Hiding the Secrets, I sawed demons, Sandy's city, Sign of evil, deep Into the code, Kitchen ace and taking names. Imo old Doom music is as good as new ones, but the music is more catchy
