NIGHTMARE [Ranger Theme] 

quake champions ranger probably has more polygons in his nose than the entirety of og ranger

I had chills you nine inch nailed it

Imagine a single player mode where every level you play as a different champion, each of them having their own story

*_”’Quake’_* eclipsed the competition and was the final nail in the coffin for the so-called ‘DOOM Clones.’ No longer were such games mere imitators, but instead an entirely new genre. The First Person Shooter was born.” -Stuart “Ahoy” Brown

I've been in this comment section for far too long. I need to find a slipgate out of here.

When you find out that Shrub Niggurath created the Strogg...

"You can't keep me from getting home" -Ranger

Quake Deserves a reboot as heavy or even heavier than Doom. How do you make it different to the new doom games? Embrace that insane movement speed the o.g had.

Ranger is so awesome. I love how he just is slowly going insane trying to make his way home

"Your friends are going to have a hard time peeling you off the walls."

I like the heavy distortion on the original Quake theme. It feels like it's been degraded by the passing of twenty years.

I'm so happy that youtube shitty algorithm sometimes work and gives me that kind of content. This is just amazing

People should start badgering Bethesda about giving the original Quake game the DOOM treatment. Sure, Quake Champions is a reboot of Quake III Arena, but I'm sure people would LOVE to see Quake or Quake II get the DOOM treatment.

"Sometimes the world doesn't need another hero... ...IT NEEDS A MONSTER!"

this song fucking perfectly embodies Quake, distorted guitars that sounds like screaming, cultish chanting, the *actual* screaming, the heavy electronic base, and the droning ambiance its all *perfect.*

Ok, it took 2 years and a half, but I've finally got the citation of the second NIN track of the Quake OST :D

The diehard Quake 1 fans are tired of seeing Quake 3 Arena regurgitated 20 different ways. We want Ranger, we want a dark Lovecraftian world full of muddy colors and strange elder gods and nerve-nibbling atmosphere, and we want a single-player campaign that isn't a COD ripoff. JUST. FREAKING. REBOOT. QUAKE. ONE. NOT TWO. NOT THREE. ONE. OOOOONNNEEEEE.

This feels like it could be the trailer theme for a an actual QUAKE 2/remake

My god, really hope Champions has room for a third composer...

How do you not have hundreds of thousands of views, this song is fucking fantastic. Literally, since hearing the ending song as a kid I had scoured the web for the track and now the perfect re-incarnation of it crops up. Thanks Markie!

Doom has a multiverse now doesn't it? Imagine... Slayer and Ranger. "Two Titans meet, as it was written."

Even before reading the description I knew that the tune was from Q1, now that's the mark of a good soundtrack. If they are ever going to make a new singleplayer Quake I would want you to make the OST.

0:25 *Ranger walking badassly to the slipgate with the screen fading to black and changing the camera angles everytime the quake riff plays*

I swear I can't believe it. I find myself hearing it over and over again but I fail to make my mind around how good this is. Amazing

dude i think i just played with you in a qc game. then i found this video. gg and cool music.

0:06 Goood start... Okay. I'm interested. 0:27 okay. Getting Blade one vibes. Not a bad thing. 0:58 Aaah. 😏 There it is. Dilapidated castles and blood soaked swords... This is getting goood! 1:33 woah... what?... What's happ- 1:44 HOLY FUCKING SHIT! 😱😱 1:53 Duh-Ding, Duh-Ding Ding Ding Duh-ding Duh OHMYFUCKING! 2:06 gEt mE OuT oF ThIs NiGhTMaRe!!! AAAAAAAHHHH! 2:31 weariness. Exhaustion. Running through a corridor. A chainsaw scraping across the floor, nearby. 2:53 YEEES! THIS IS IT! THIS! IS! IT! THE ORGAN! THE FUCKING ORGAN!! GRRAAH! THIS IS QUAKE! I SEE IT! The cathedrals! The knights! The blood! 😢 3:26 I feel the never ending cycle of insanity! 3:42 You can't keep me from getting home! You can't hold me here! I've Carved my way out of the All-Mother! I WILL carve my way out of here! 4:03 I've gotta get out of here! There has to be a way out! There has! To be! A way out! WHEN DOES THIS NIGHTMARE END! 4:26 BATHE IN THE BLOOD! Wow... That was... an experience... i'm in tears and covered in sweat! This. IS. Quakes' remastered theme. You encapsulated every nuance of the originals' atmosphere, perfectly! The terror, the hopelessness, the pacing! The brutality! THE FUCKING ORGAN! (Dammit, that's was fucking great!) The Max Payne cord didn't distract. At all. It was an excellent choice. Max Payne's theme is tragic as it is. It really added to the already oozing atmosphere. Truly. The wings of this masterful piece carried me to valhalla. I. LOVE. This track. So much! Thank you.

The best fucking mix of Aftermath and Slipgate ever! ❤❤❤

Personally, this is my favorite of the character themes. There's something about the Quake 1 soundtrack that makes it interesting to listen to. Also love Zlive's channel music and the QC:DE soundtrack. I'm excited to see what Quake/Doom mix will come up with Doom Slayer.

Need this in the Quake V trailer

Holy shit, it sounds like amalgamation of every quake 1 track - and a perfect one! It even has screams from quake menu theme. Very nice!

Love this. Very much like the original Soundtrack for Quake. Makes me think of Hall of Souls. :D

I literally can't play this loud enough. I keep turning it up and up. Guess that says something about how much I like this!

When the classic, Quake theme yelling came in around the middle, I couldn't help but smile. This is fucking brilliant.

This is the best remix of the Quake theme I've ever heard. Thank you, Markie!!!

Fn Reznor-riffic. Love it.

when I listen to this I zone out for like a minute and when I come back I'm sweating and out of breath. You've made magic.

I really love your style of music! I can tell you took inspiration from Mick Gordon and at the same time, it still has it's own identity. Very well done! I'm looking forward to the rest of the tracks. Does every champion get one, or are you cherry picking some that you can work themes into?

Most epic and creative remix of the Quake 1 theme. Love it.

1:43 that beat drop holy shit

"No no no, you SHOOT WITH IT!"

Fits ranger, sounds badass, punches you with a killer headbanging riff. 10/10

the organ pipe part sent chills down my spine this is excellently well done

This new industrial sound in these Quake Champions themes is amazing.

"No no no, you SHOOT with it!"

It's like Trent Reznor got pills of youth and his music got a sense of anger and technoporntransformers feeling

Not sure why I didn't subscribe when I first heard this track a few months back, but this along with all the other QC tracks are some of the best stuff I've heard in ages. Great work, and I think your skill and talent will take you far. PS. The Twin Peaks Laura Palmer Theme is really eerie. Perfect!

But how Orbb theme would sound?🖐👁🤚

Daym son, that beat drops harder than old people with polio.

Keep 'em coming Markie, loving the effort and amazing job you put into these. Thank you!

All these QC themes are absolutely fantastic! Is there a way to get these tracks in Flac quality?

1:43 DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT

Perfection... I had to turn up the volume!

As a ranger main, i confirm that this theme perfectly suits him. Good job mate, keep doing these x)

After playing Quake 1 thanks to the remaster I finally get it.

You know what i'm going to do? :) After you're finished with all the characters' theme songs, i'll let my brother listen to them. If he can guess which song fits which champion, i'll let you know! :) Right now i can imagine i'd figure it out, because the music is amazing!

Dude, I can't stop listening to this. Sounds awesome. If bethesda/ID remakes quake this composer definitively has to be in.

You took something already legendary, put it on a table, deconstructed it to its bare components, brought more to the table and assembled something otherworldly that stays true to its original form yet adds layers and texture that made this a total ear gasm to listen to. Like an artist retouching a masterpiece and doing an artful work of love. 10/10. Never thought I'd hear a remake of this caliber. Would love to hear it in an official ID project if they ever brought Quake back to its lovecraftian roots.

Perfection! Love the combination of various tracks from the original Quake soundtrack.

Awesome! But this doesn't mean I will stop pestering you in Twitch chat ;)

You sir, are an absolute legend, hands down the most amazing tribute to Quake's soundtrack, atmosphere and feral gameplay my ears had the privilege to get blasted by.

marking 100 likes :) great approach on this track. sounds up-to-date and keeps the danger of Q1

I keep coming back to this music, its such a great medley of Quake ost. It has such...character!

I love that repeating "hammer on metal/forging" sound that starts at the 50 second mark.

All I want is for these songs to actually be in QC

I need to find a slipgate out of this place

That kick drum tho mmmmm.

They really need to make a new Quake that follows a ravaged and brutal Ranger after the events of Quake Champions and Quake 3 and treat it like DOOM 2016. Please Bethesda

That's some quality head-bang material!

I adore this 🖤

Damn this is really good. Iv been on a id software binge lately, and i would love a new dark fantasy fps/rpg with swords and sorcery so much. Quake is a really wierd but 90's product in terms of setting. Its got that "hooah, guns! Awesome to the max!" and then the obvious Sandy Petersen influence of wanting lovecraftian mystery and grimnes. A shame that they ditched fantasy ideas but i guess it's a taste and markets matter.

God that Quake 1 OST, "Aftermath" MMMMHHH! MUCH LOVE!

"But there is Bhopping in quake champions" LoL ok >shows you what uts SUPPOSED to look like by booting up Q1

Look, if there's a person who needs to participate in a project like Quake 1 reboot, it's you. Mick Gordon I'm sorry, I love your job, but, Michael need to work at Bathesda. If possible, you two together

Now do Doom Guy, I'm sure that would be fun!

Damn, I really want a quake 1 remaster with the likeness of DOOM (2016)

Holy shit.. Sounds great man!!!

I listen to this song in my dream I killed the demon without be able to move

The warrior guardian of the interdimentional gates

You da man markie!

This is a magnificently severe rendition. Well-done!

I feel Doom Eternal is legacy of Quake 1. Special maps looking like geo arenas.

Good. Sounds like a man gone crazy fighting his way through the dreamlands for 20 years lol

So epic! All the way I adore your SoundCloud too!

I dead ass thought this was the real deal before looking at the description. Holy fuck man, you nailed this one. (No pun intended)

I just came a hole through the wall

I rly love the metallic percussion, that heavy clanking rly invokes feelings of imprisonment, like a cell door slamming shut, chains hitting the floor, or (a la cartoon depictions) prisoners cracking away at stones with their pickaxes. it invokes the hopelessness of ranger's now-decades imprisonment out of his own dimension

Anything original Quake is an auto thumbs up from me. Anything NIN is a thumbs up from me. So, where the duel thumbs up button? I need to akimbo this like action.

🔥🔥🔥SHUB SLAYER🔥🔥🔥

This honestly sounds like something out of DooM (2016), and I love it!

If we ever get a Quake 5… I swear to god if you aren’t the composer of the soundtrack I’m gonna be pissed

I hope ID will notice you.

Well we know who ID should be hiring next now they've fallen out with poor Mick. (if the contract is reasonable of course)

Nicely done. A little bit of 6/8 like in the Q1 intro wouldn't have hurt though. :P

Much better than the baffling somber piano music Andrew Hulshut put in QC for some bizzare reason. I turn off the ingame music and play your version instead.

Oof, when you wish your phone could go louder than max volume... The bass hook on this is so filthy it could be considered a biohazard the first time it hits. The second time gets even more disgusting.

I just realized this is a remix of the OG Quake theme

Daddy ranger is thicc

Fuck. I'm gonna need you to cover the entire Quake soundtrack for my re-play of it now.

You sir, are a hero.

Man this is your best work...i'm fuckin impressed bro pls be on Doom eternal !!!! We can feel the Ranger's nightmare true this one...amazing
