While I'll probably prefer the style of Mick, I think Andrew will capture the heaviness of this entry. We're supposed to feel like a tank/monster truck in this one opposed to the jet feeling of Eternal.

Edit: Turns out it's not Hulshult either. By all accounts it seems Andrew Hulshult will be back to score TDA. He did work on both of Eternal's DLC's (Reclaimed Earth, Blood Swamps, Davoth, etc.) and had previously worked on the game Dusk. He definitely has a different, more classical style compared to Mick Gordon but, as you say, a different approach might actually be more appropriate for the kind of game they're going for. Less electronic and bouncy and more of an even tempo with a strong forward drive to reflect the feel of the gameplay.

Andrew Hulshult did a pretty good job with Eternal's second DLC and also had previous experience with Doom games. And honestly - if the dark ages plays in the... well, dark ages of the doom universe, more abstract music like in doom 64 would fit the bill perfectly. And that's done by Aubrey Hodges.

The new doom games without Mick will never be the same no matter who they bring in. ID made a HUGE mistake

I am just thanking God. That there is metal music. That is all music I want in any Doom. Amen.

SO REAL FOR THIS

So what exactly is the problem with the music?

this is kind of thing marty stratton would do.

i actually really preferred david levy's stuff over Andrew's music. due to how repetitive andrew's stuff sounded. the battle of immora theme with all the vocals is my favorite from david, and has a very epic feel to it, and is actually one of my favorite tracks. real shame no OFFICAL soundtrack for anything was released, other than the one where gordon mix liked 20% of it. This new trailer music feels a little generic until he enters the mech suit, where it sounds like there's some form of vocals, hopefully it has quite a bit of that, as that will fit this theme pretty will.

Oh no! Not djenty and awesome metal!

Tbh, I was hoping we'd see more brutal metal in the trailer. Like less djent and maybe more like old school death metal or even brutal death metal.

To be honest out of all those trailers my favorite music is the Dark Ages one, Mick is obviously an awesome composer, we need to hear what the rest of the soundtrack in the game will be to know if it's as good, better or worse, and even than, music is very per taste thing, some might like it more some might like it less.

One big misconception is that the trailer musics are present in the game. Almost never the case, except for maybe Eternal’s launch trailer festuring the Cultist Base ost. Hugo Martin even flat-out said that they always make dedicated music for just the trailers. Bummer, because a lot of trailers have amazing music under them. 2016 reveal and launch trailer, Eternal’s Phobos reveal. Hopefully this banger from Dark Ages will be fleshed-out, bc it slaps!

Who is it tho? Cuz its not hulshult and not devid levy 🤔 and who are behind this masterpiece

Honestly i think i have a stronger prefer for Andrew's music than i did for mick's overall. The world spear and blood swamps was enough proof to me that the new game will probably have atleast a few bangers. But then again mick's range is from my perspective ranges from eh to god tier. Some of the less talked about tracks that mick has done are absolutely amazing. Though the popular one's are a mixed bag for me. Meathook, and the e1m1 music doesn't sit well with me. But stuff like BFG division, the hell guard ost, flesh and metal aswell as cultist base are stellar examples of what i really liked.

i mean the music from the trailer seems fine, but imagine what Mick Gordon could have created for a medieval doom... I dont know anything about music so im talking out of my ass but the music in the trailer sounds more.. generic

Andrew Hulshult has done music for Quake, Doom, Dusk, Amid Evil, Nightmare Reaper and Prodeus; the new Doom soundtrack is in good hands. Personally I don’t know if I’d want to sit through another whole Doom game with a soundtrack that sounds like that one KoRn album they did with Skrillex.

Hulshult does a serviceable job. He's *fine* I think. But that's it. Just 'fine'. I do agree that his songs do sound a big generic often. And they all blend together and sound the same for the most part. He doesn't have the musical range and variety of Mick Gordon, that's for sure. You name the genre of music, and Mick can produce it. But I've never heard Andrew Hulshult make any style of music that wasn't 'djent-metal'. All his music is the same style, in every game in which he's done the soundtrack. Andrew Levy (the other guy who did music for Ancient Gods DLC) is much more talented, in my opinion. It's all personal preference, but his tracks in Ancient Gods were a little bit more interesting than Hulshult's (though I'll admit that Blood Swamps is a masterpiece of a song). I've also checked out David Levy's work in other games and media productions. And he has the sort of range and musical flexibility that Mick Gordon has. He's made music from various styles and genres and it always sounds fantastic. If we had to choose between Hulshult and Levy to do the soundtrack, and we could pick ONLY ONE, I'd vote for Levy. Sorry for the wall of text.

I expected the music to be different, but this is straight up generic af lmao Can't wait for the Mick Gordon ost mods (?)

It's a good thing the video had good content. Otherwise I would have thumbs down as click-bait. Look at your content and name your videos better!

The new music just sounds like any other lame generic metal. Nothing creative or unique sounding about it just the same boring guitar riffs. A complete downgrade Mick will simply never be topped.
