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

When Mick Gordon turned 18 his parents moved out

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

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

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

Mick's building an army of Doom Slayers.

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

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 😥

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

absolute legend and absolutely unfair the shit you went through

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

Glad the album is coming with a free game

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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"

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.

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.

They tried to turn down this masterpiece wow

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

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

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.

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

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

Ah yes, my favorite genre. VIOLENCE

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

Mick: really kind and caring His music:

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

Imagine the janitor walking into this

Mick Gordon, please come back 🥺

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

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

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

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

"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-*

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

While Mick was working on all of this, being super involved in the marketing, Zenimax wasn't paying him and were withholding payments.

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."

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

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.

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

Year 2030: mick gordon summoned demons for soundtrack

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.

2:13 yoo, he literally said: "🗿"

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.

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

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

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

Ngl mick Gordon looks like a nice guy to hang out with

Whenever my girlfriend wants to get me in the mood for some lovin, she just plays the Doom soundtrack.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

There’s chad!

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

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

#JusticeForMickGordon

We stand with you Mick ❤️

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

3:20 they really want cuphead 2 don't they?

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

Mr.Gordon Doom is not Doom without you, period.

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.

"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.

Tony Campos is a fucking legend! Didn't know he was involved with this!

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

ID: “So Mick, since you’re back for Doom Eternal, what do you want for the soundtrack?” Mick: “Bring the DoomSlayer’s Bards.”

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.

Doom eternal ost albums is the best heavy metal I ever heard

My guitars teachers friend was in the metal choir for eternal. My guitar teacher is a huge doom and quake nerd and we spend the last bit of the class just ranting about doom. Crazy

This game will sell like toilet paper in America.

These people are amazing. Rest easy, Nature Ganganbaigal.

"Heavy metal choir." That's a sentence I never thought I'd hear...

@Mick Gordon - I just wanted to drop a bit of support related to recent shitstorm around Doom Eternal OST. You sir are amazing artist and whole community stand by you. Please don't stop delivering us amazing and original game soundtracks! #IStandWithMickGordon

Usually choirs sound like angels. This choir sound like demons dragging you down to the pits of hell, and it’s freaking awesome.
