Due to the style snd techniques that Mick Gordon encorporated in DOOMs OSTs, many fans have taken to dubbing this style of music "Argent Metal", which is fitting in my opinion, since Argent (more specifically Argent Energy) is a relevant term in the DOOM games. I think it's nice that this style has it's own little niche name, since I would say it has a few elements that make it a bit different from your typical metal music, one of which I would say is a shifted focus in the type of musical technique/finesse it displays. It doesn't so much feature advanced practical/instrumental technique, but instead relies heavily on the quality in sound production and editing (especially the synths and the, uh... home appliances) and the intricate use of tension/buildup, as you pointed out. If you end up listening to more music from DOOM, you may also notice that a great portion of it is simply meant to convey an uneasy feeling and a sense of lurking danger to the listener (or the player, in many cases), not so much as The Only Thing They Fear Is You, which just puts you in full-on chainsaw bloodshed mode. I would say the track Rust, Dust & Guts shows that very well. I'm not saying that none of these elements can be found in typical metal subgenres or generally other types of music, but I think that they are just especially dominant in the DOOM soundtrack and not found as much in other styles, or at least not executed in this manner. It's half past 5 am in my time, so I apologize if what I wrote isn't very well understandable or if I come off as pretentious or a know-it-all, that's not my intention and I would love to hear other opinions on this. Thanks for your video, I'm looking forward to seeing more awesome reactions. :) Oh, and once again, congratulations on going full-time with content creation Jesse! 🎉

“What was that? A heavy filter?” It’s a chainsaw…A chainsaw as an instrument…dude is a legend!

in all honesty, I'm very afraid what would happen in a mosh pit at a DOOM concert

The thing about the Doom OST is that it fits the game SO perfectly. It's music designed to make you want to fight. To rip and tear until it is done. It never so much as acknowledges that the flee response is even an option. It is music to kill demons too. Cannot recommend driving to it unless you're in a destruction derby.

This song is pretty good by itself, but in the context of the game it's truly sublime. This music plays while you're blasting, punching, ripping and tearing your way through endless hordes of demons and other hellspawn. It's like a shot of adrenaline directly into your brain, and just gets you in the perfect headspace for the action.

"It wasted no time. It just went into a groove." Well when you're surrounded by demons you have no time.

If a band came out with this as an original song, it would be revolutionary for the metal scene. Mick Gordon is a fucking God.

About his crazy modulations. I believe he used an actual lawnmower instead of guitars in some parts of this song.

Mick Gordon really does perfectly encapsulate the mood of Doom and Doom Eternal that they're going for. Like, the title of this sums it up perfectly. The hordes of hell are ravenous, cruel, and fearless... except for you, you are the thing that goes bump in the night and causes the hosts of Hell to quiver in fear.

RIP and TEAR. Like BFG division, this music plays during fights. Those build ups are intense and just builds so much tension that when you are unleashed, you are hyped as hell to do so. You said "I feel like I'm gonna get punched in the face". This music makes me wanna punch evil everytime.

Take note that Mick Gordon uses an original Russian Polivoks synthesizer when making the synthesized bits. All the sounds were apparently accidental due to Russian labeling but worked out in the end when he first began.

Cultist Base is a nice little hidden gem in the OST. It doesn’t come up easily in a search so most people miss it when finding the music.

Man, Mick Gordon is such an incredible artist. Just beyond just the DOOM Soundtrack. Though he actually gave a talk at GDC back in 2016 where he detailed how he created the sound for DOOM which was absolutely incredible, especially as a music enthusiast. Dude crossed a chainsaw with his guitar in a morph plugin. It's absolutely insane. I think he used a Lawnmower for DOOM: Eternal

What a good song to kickstart your full time youtube career. Nothing to share about the music, the song said it all by itself. Just want to congrats and wish you good luck on your journey

"What a great final endboss music! Game must be cool!" "Dude, that's the intro." " ... "

8:20 It's a reference to a scene in the game where Doomguy is accepted into a group and they are chanting his war cry, "RIP AND TEAR!" as he walks down an aisle...

Basically, Mick Gordon runs sounds through a massive array of synthesizers and other audio devices to distort the sound and create randomly distorting feedback loops and. His guitar is also connected to a program that mixes the riffs with the sound of the chainsaw from the original Doom, morphing them into the unique style that makes Doom so amazing!

As many have mentioned look up his talk at gdc to understand the rig he uses, the old soviet synth, and the 9string. but Liam Triforce did a great breakdown on how the music is composed and utilized in game from the first through eternal. The fact that its composed in segments which are arranged during gameplay to reflect the current chaos on screen which also makes arrangement for a sountrack difficult because they're just collections of indiviual "words" composing a virtual "musical" sentence thats never exactly the same each time you play that level or section. the drum march section is definite lead in and anyone who say otherwise is a liar. Its a lead in to listening to more music by Mick Gordon.

You DEFINITELY have to hit up Super Gore Nest after this, particularly the Koma mix.

The tunes in Doom are very intelligently made so the game can adjust what part of the tune is playing depending on how much destructing you're bringing to the level. great vid brother good luck with your new career choice

"This music conveys danger and you think that of them? No. I. Am. The danger." - The Doomslayer

@4:55 when I first heard this, it was my hardest headbang ever

Been going through your channel, didn't realise you were doing this full time! As others have said, this being the song to kick it off is just golden. Going solo to the beats of demon slaying couldn't be more fitting.

The way the soundtracks works in the game, is that every "track" is divided in segments, and according to the player's actions, the environement and the situation, the game reassemble the segments in different ways, so that the music is Always going according to the players actions If ther's only a few Demons in a small room, the music will be "mellow" (has it can be with these), while if you are in a huge arena with a shitload of Demons, the music will be Hectic and Brutal, and the way the players play also affects it, if you're mobile, and use divers weapons and score headshots or Glorykills. Thsi procedurial approach to the soundtrack is really well interwoven into the gameplay, and it just makes it so much better.

What make this a great reaction because it looks AUTHENTIC! Expressing his passion for heavy badass music. Thank you! 💪🏻👌🏼💯

You should absolutely give The Partisan a try from the Wolfenstein The Old Blood soundtrack. It's an old rebel anthem song during WW2, and Mick did an amazing job on it.

Great reaction. Very insightful and very enjoyable. I was into DOOM awhile ago, but left -- until now. Like you I need more. So please do more. Congrats on your decision and much luck. Cheers!

What you heard there at the end was a wonderful Heavy Metal Choir. If you want more of it, Kar En Tuk will have more.

The "space invaders" version of "the only thing they fear is you" is by far my favorite mix of this song. Super Gore Nest (if you find the right mix) is one of my favorite tracks by Mick

Merry Christmas Jesse and thanks for letting me escape it with these bad ass reactions. Kippis!

The end could lead into Kar En Tuk (alien for “Rip and Tear”) which features a choir of metal singers, which also ended this song

I've been gushing on a few of your vids, and I love this as well of course... but I just wanna say I love that you have Fighting Game music in your intros/breakdowns. Congrats on leaving your old job - I hope it has gone well for you!

RIP AND TEAR! UNTIL IT IS DONE! also man... you're in for a treat if you liked this one THE WHOLE ost is a banger try meathook, super gore nest or cultist base i assure you're going to ENJOY them

The genre coined by lovers of DOOM's music style, Argent Metal, cause when Djent isn't heavy enough, you go lower, to an absurd degree, blowing out the bass, snapping the snare, hitting the guitar strings with pure violence. Argent metal is describable with only a few words, "Pure Violence and Aggression as Music"

I was just about to recommend Killer Instinct music right before I heard you were about to react to it already. Lol Inferno is tight!

the ending chant is "rip and tear" its the gladiator chant for the doomslayer since thats where he rose to power and it just so happens that theres a theme called "gladiator"

Congrats going full time into KZfaq, I hope it works out well! Also good choice on music to react to, personally I'd go with BFG Division, Demonic Corruption, or Rip and Tear.

It's not that the ending leads into something else, but rather that the DOOM Eternal song Kar En Tuk leads into this song so perfectly. Although the same argument could be made for BFG Division or Rip & Tear to precede The Only Thing They Fear Is You.

Ah the quintessential DOOM song, this birthed a lot of memes for it's ability to make anything seem intense. So good.

Good for you bro. I hope this channel really blows up for. Great video love that song. Of course who doesn't lol. Rock on 🎸🎸🎸

I've been dumb m.i.a That's good to hear you're pursuing your own thing jesse. Much success to you my friend

It's not a song, but I highly recommend checking out Mick's 2017 GDC talk he gave on his process of creating this soundtrack. It's both entertaining and really gets into the more technical aspects that a lot of "behind the scenes" don't touch.

Early bird comment! I found you recently and loved your take on music that I love. Keep up the good work man, Congrats on escaping the grind and making the move!

It's cool to see you doing this for a living! Good song choice. Hope you're doing well man:)

Look up Geoff plays guitar. He turns all kinds of stuff into what has been dubbed Argent metal. Mick Gordon even called him out to convert a song. His Ludwig the holy blade from bloodborne goes hard as fuck.

I really gotta say. Doom music is really intense and you did nail it, it's designed to really feel the music. And by "feel the music" I mean when you get into one of these fighting arenas. Where the doors lock, the demons spawn in to surround you, and the music kicks on. You start to really feel the music. You are reminded YOU are the doom slayer. After you really get used to the game, and get all your abilities in Eternal, when you end up in these fights it's like... Your brain turns off. The music just fills your head with the sound of your guns firing. It's like you're on autopilot and it just becomes 'rip and tear.' It felt that way at least to me and a few other people I talked to. Doom Eternal really gets you into that zone.

It's always a good day for Doom I love this OST so much omg

The KING of build-ups!

doom eternal has such an amazing and insane soundtrack, that it is now a subgenre of metal (can found it like "Doom Metal")

This is exactly what I been waiting for 😎

The ending of the drums and the sound of the words saying over and over they said rip and tear witch I love that ending 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Ayy back with a banger nice

Makes sense listening to this now, cause even the song makes you feel being your own boss 🤘

When that drop happens it's like a mosh pit just teleported into whatever space you are listening to and you wanna just wreck everything like you are the last man standing against a hoard of demons knowing you are going to win.

2:30 is a lawnmower used as a high synth (as well as the high synth whine throughout the first "verses") and the guitar riff from the start and throughout is guitar over chainsaws, chainsaws being the low synths.

@3:26 if every hair on your body is not standing up you are officially dead

So far in my 31 years of life there are two sections in songs that make me bang my head harder than anything else, one is 4:59 in this song and the other is the section at 1:31 in Jerry was a Race Car Driver by Primus

You should check out Cultist Base and Super Gore Nest as well. The whole soundtrack is great but those would be my two recommendations.

The music is one of the main reasons doom eternal is my favorite games, if I feel epic doing homework with this song imagine what it feels like ripping demons in half

My friend, the fact that Mick Gordon can use household items to make such BRILLIANT music, to the point where I now say, "Heavy Metal goes to Mick Gordon school to learn Mick Gordon" is a testoment to his composing abilities.

Not sure if you still check comments on this vid but in at the end with the demons chanting they’re chanting rip & tear

Yes you’re back😎 don’t forget about FF7R airbuster theme with gameplay

That ending is kinda a reference to the song Gladiator, which is an absolute head banger.

DOOM Eternal, the only Metal Album that comes with an interactive part where you can make music with weapons and demon-screams.

6:38 man didn't get enough he turned his headset's volume up top, that's when you know the music is sublime and Tadow!

This is not the track to get your face punched to.. this is what plays when you're going to punch every face in a thirty-mile radius. And as Ryan Hampson mentioned on another comment, there are chainsaws and lawnmowers that were used before Bethesda said he was clear to use actual guitars, but he kept some of those sounds he'd created before then. As for the ending maybe leading into something, D4N5T3P was right, that part wasn't in the actual game's track, but the audio is a bit from 'Kar En Tuk', a very fantastic track. There's a behind-the-scenes for it somewhere.

That end part ("THE TEASE") most likely is about his journey. After tearing some place apart, he comes here to tear this place apart, and then about to go on to somewhere else to do it yet again. About the use of guitar, it's leftovers from DOOM (2016), where id software didn't want to use guitars for a very particular reason (Mick mentions it during "Game Developer Conference" during his presentation there). Something about metal being "a genre, that has become a bit of a joke". And about how he got those unusual, kinda creepy sounds, I would recommend watching Mick's presentation during "Game Developer Conference". It's a really interesting material. Though not a reaction material, it's an hour long after all ("DOOM: Behind the Music" on KZfaq, if you are interested). If you want more good DOOM soundtrack, it will be somewhat weird for you. There is a lot of gamerip actions around, but those are mostly not Mick's mixes. Well, most of the OST is not even mixed by him (sadly). But if you still want to hear those, then I would recommend "BFG10000" and "Super Gore Nest" from Doom Ethernal and "Rip and Tear" from Doom (2016).

Hopefully this doesn't get buried. Mick's work on the Doom OSTs is incredible, but Andrew Hulshult's work on the Ancient Gods deserves some recognition. The Heavy Fighting sections of the Blood Swamps is suuuuper heavy. I think you'd dig it.

If you want more Doom, check out Super Gore Nest and Meathook! Mick Gordon reactions are always hype and I can't wait for more in the future!! 🤘🔥❤

"Why does it end now!?" Because after that is the game, and you are charged to the max.

Doom Eternal's soundtrack makes you feel like you can kill the Sun.

it just sounds so good

Dr.Gordon has done this game so much justice his music is such a perfect fit it just keeps going wasting no time which is exactly how the game flows

The last 60 seconds is someone headbanging a brick wall for extra realism in the audio design.

Also if the cuts sound strange in the song its because in the game the music basically changes and evolves based on your playstyle and what is around you at the time

Hoy dude, ty for the reaction, just wanted to recommend you checking the Doom Orchestral arrangement of Rush Garcia, it's still very heavy and gives a suite to the marching beat :P

hey welcome back jessie, been awhile! ii think you need to keep the mick gordon train going with some killer instinct OST, specifically Warlord, spinals theme.

"we will send unto them... only you... rip and tear until it is done"

Just found your channel one your last doom video and I’m hoping you post more soon!! Also, when you are done reacting to doom(good luck lol), you’d love the games. The only thing is, the games play the music so it’d be a spoiler

This music made me remind twisted metal 4 main menu theme

Ever thought "hmm what is that instrument, it sounds like a 12 string bass?" Nah thats a lawnmower... literally

geez its been years right? Love me some doom music.

Best song to hit PRs to. especially deadlifts

Oh man I just watched the bfg division react and was waiting to see if you'd ever do this and behold you have 😂 got one more for ya if you like, "blood swamps" from the ancient gods

This sound track is so great. Plus it comes with a free game!

Congrats dude.

The more you listen the more you get addicted, and the more you crave it.

crazy thing is that its not even my fav song personally. they're all so damn good.

Super gore nest (koma gamerip), cultist base, metal hell, rip and tear, you know the drill

i hoped you would be able to check the edited version of mick gordons old and new version mashed together, this person that did it made an excellent job. around 8 min of chaos

Man doom is epic, no matter which time, this game will be always one the bests!

I Doom love this song

"I feel like my face is gonna get punched" yes... But you make sure you punch them 10x harder when the drop hits and remind them why you are the only thing they fear

If you end up wanting anymore of this track in particular, FamilyJules has an amazing cover of this.

Let's gooooo!!!

That suspense you talk about? The track "Harbinger" from Doom 2016's soundtrack is literally 6 minutes of buildup with 1 minute of drop split between two different points. It's as ridiculous as it is amazing.

Ahhhh, Finally this song!

Highly recommend Cultist Base next!

Can't wait for the Meathook reaction!

The end of this song feels like beating an angry god to death with your bare hands.
