that harsh “synth” at the beginning was a processed recording of mick gordons neighbours lawn mower

Nice to see you back! This song is like done with a synthed chainsaw and lawnmower, Mick Gordon is a high-functioning lunatic!

I have to mention that "The Icon of Sin" is the final boss track for Doom Eternal. It's not often reacted too, but it's perfect at projecting the scene of a Godzilla-like foe.

You absolutely need to check out his GDC talk. The entire thing is based on how he was forced into creativity in DOOM 2016 by a simple phrase: "No Guitars"

Mick's compressor is some wild stuff. If you ever used OTT, it's like massively cranked version of that - does both downwards and upwards compression, and he does like 50-60dB of dynamic reduction with it, effectively pushing the entirety of sounds into a flat line. Then you run something with reverb and whatnot into it and as it decays, it actually swells. It's wild. A thing of beauty.

I just saw the intro to this on tik tok and came over to KZfaq. I love seeing people who know and enjoy what they’re talking about. Thanks for this!

I apologize, im gonna get weird here. This is my absolute favorite track. The first time I heard Cultist base it was visceral. I wanted to hear it so loud that it would throw me away, or blow me apart, just atomize me. I can't describe the way it makes me feel. A sonic assault that I want to give myself away to forever.

The second half of this song is actually called Doom Hunted. The two songs and their respective levels actually come one right after another, as its kind of an extension of the aforementioned Cultist Base, so the person who mixed/edited this video kinda combined them together. Two of my favorites too tbh.

What instrument do you play? Mick Gordon: "chainsaw"

Mick Gordon, truly the 🐐 Cultist Base does flood my brain with dopamine every time.

I just saw your channel subscribed the moment I saw you can understand how good DOOM is. Your awesome have a great day.

I thought i will never see your reaction to this, it's been a while and i am so glad you did come back

First 10 seconds slap harder than the actual musical product itself LOL

Ayyyyy she's back! Good to see you in my feed again 😊

You just gained a fan and a follower! Your giggling when you hear Mick Gordon mastery makes my happy!!

I love rocking out to synthesized power tools lmao Like, at 7:13, you can clearly hear a lawnmower/chainsaw being revved! Brutal.

I think i may have found my new favorite YT'er! They way you resonate with music is JUST how i feel! It just hits right in your soul.

Welcome back Em, with a banger on top of that !

Been a while, glad you’re back and looking forward to your commentary and insight again!

Best Doom songs - The Only Thing They Fear Is You Cultist Base BFG Division In that order

7:48 is so insane it's part of another insane track(s) that is featured in ONE FRICKING SHORT ARENA ONLY in the whole game. It is called DOOM HUNTED and Doomed Hunter but do not mix those two with Doom Hunter which is cool but is not as insane as the the other two

Man my day was going horrible until hopped on to youtube and you topped my recommendeds. Welcome back, so glad you are, making my day 🎉

hey good to see you back

Check out the Mechanicus OST its wild and you probably haven't heard anything quite like it before.

I can't wait to see you do PT-X12 from Atomic heart. This is like pre-game for that track. It comes out of nowhere for such a fire boss fight.

The Chainsaw Breakdown! So good!

Yeah. Loveing the Doom coverage.

Absolutely love your takes and reactions. You should also check out Doom 2016 OST "Mastermind"

Hello . Nice to meet you . I am a die-hard fan of Doom Eternal and I am very interested in his music, especially in the field of rock and metal. I really like your reactions to my favorites.❤❤❤

new to your videos, love your reactions to Mick Gordon music, new sub

Another try of getting you to watch Mick's GDC talk. In Doom 2016 there wasn't just one insane compressor, there were 2 chains of various stuff working effectively as compressors because input level is way more that they could bear, all to "corrupt" the source sine waves. And that's only half of the "Doom instrument"™

7:11 Mick Gordon is a f****** SAVAGE... and I adore him for it 😅

If you end up doing more react videos, I would love to watch your reactions to Tool. An amazing band with beautiful and intricate music. 🤘

Would you consider re-visiting the Ultrakill soundtrack? The Death Of God's Will is an incredible song, so much emotion gets conveyed so well

doom has just the right music to rip and tear to.

GIRL? I missed you, good to see you again

Just when you think it can't get any better- IT DOES

i fell in love

One thing that stands out about your content is that you actually talk about the musical composition, personally I prefer it over most of the “producers react” content where they just loosely talk about the music after soying for 40 seconds

shes back!

Cultist base is definitely my favourite too!

Severed steel is another incredible game and sound track combo

You should listen to UAC Atlantica by David Levy, he's the other composer for the Doom Eternal DLC and he rocks as much as Hulshult and Gordon

I think you should react to Ace Combat music some time. My favorite part is how all the sound tracks are so different from each other in each game. Where Zero will some times go for Spanish guitars and more of the honorable type music and then Assault Horizon will just randomly explode into the gnarliest hard rock guitar solo I’ve ever heard.Then there’s 7 with the more uplifting and epic music. It’s insane how many different genres they smash into each game and they all turn out so awesome

We're all in love with Mick and what he made for DOOM.

I literally spilled my water when you said "it feels like flossing your brain"

you should check this out: ALEX TERRIBLE - DOOM ETERNAL - BFG DIVISION

This is a different version than I'm used to. Like an extended version of something.

I would love to see a reaction of yours to Amon Tobin’s soundtrack for Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory; while not as heavy or metal as this one, it’s quite an interesting and layered piece of music… In some of the tracks the bass is positively chunky, and some of its oppressive ostinatos work to great effect, besides the fact that Tobin is a master at working with beats on account of his earlier Jungle/DnB days. Also from him, I’d say Foley Room is his most interesting album, as it really does the title justice.

Id love to see you play the original DOOM for an hour or so & then Uograde to Eternal.

Brilliant!!!

Wonder if she will listen to the Killer Instinct soundtrack since it’s by the same composer but very diverse in terms of genres.

Mick makes some of the sickest metal sounds.

It's awesome to share this. Btw what's the name of those headsets?

Happy 30th Anniversary to all my Doom Slayers out there. Rip n tear!

PLEASE HAWAII PART II PLEASE ITS SO FUCKING GOOD OMFG

What Mick brings to work with him everyday ⛽🪚🎚

I love the sound track of lineage 2 , it's medieval music , more flute and instruments acustics and strighs , but if you wanted more sounds tracks to other games.

I would love to see your reaction to Ludwig, the holy blade Doom version

Your smile just makes my day... every time 😊

The stuff in the gdc talk will blow your fucking mind

Mick is the MacGyver of synth metal :D

It just makes my day seeing music producers and artists react to doom themes! I would recommend listening to "BFG 10k". You would probably like it!

I like BFG 10k because of those electronic clicking sounds at the pauses

That ending portion is actually a whole new song entirely that Koma threw in there. It’s called doom hunted and it plays in the next level for only two arenas so most people don’t really know about it. It’s genuinely the most unhinged song in the game that was just a taste of it.

Now i need mastermind please and thank you

that high part reminds me of Patrick star saying wee woo.

I didn't know that I was looking for *nrnrnrnnrnr* to describe Doom to an unknowning friend when they asked about "what's the OST all about". but now, I know and will spread the word. :)

What is the name of that LOTR rendetion during your outro

Definitely gotta listen to Immora next.

Buena musica, ojala algun dia reaccione a los bgm de fate series

Do "the only thing they fear is you". Banger of a song and one you've mightve heard before.

The music is even more insane when you're playing the game, only game i've played where i've turned the music UP. And once you've gotten too much play-time out of the game and moved on, you can still keep the music with you.

A few other Mick Gordon recommendations from DOOM (2016) that you may enjoy: 1. Mastermind 2. Vega Core 3. SkullHacker 4. Cyberdemon 5. Transistor Fist First two are probably my favorites from that game along Rip & Tear and BFG Division.

🤘

I'd love to see you do Ozar Midrashim, main theme from Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver one day

It’s been a minute

You might like the Metal Gear Rising vocal tracks, “It has to be this way” is the goat

"im about to find out i guess"

Noosphere - Warhammer 4000: Mechanicus How would you like to hear something unlike anything you've ever imagined? Church bells for mortar shells and the Gregorian tech priests of humanity's far future. It has floored other music content creators.

Nrnrnrnnrnrnr, is a pretty accurate description of the intro

The best Doom track will forever be "Into Sandy's City". Andrew Hulshult made a phenomenal version of it.

You should check out some if the portal 2 ost. There are some of the industrial metallic wibes but in a different direction.

check out song from game "dusk" Departure to Destruction

Hi, I have a suggestion for a reaction video. The soundtrack from Dunkirk called 'Supermarine' is one of the most cinematically awesome movie scores I've heard and I think you would appreciate it. The buildup is insane and it pays off so well. Sometimes I'll listen to it to work in 2x speed when I'm doing homework or chores lmao. Seriously though, I really think you should react to it. Hans Zimmer has some insanely good scores.

You should check out the anger foot OST

2 things: 1. Ludwig, The Holy Blade by Geoffplaysguitar. 2. Starscourge Radahn by RichaadEB.

In most video games the music warns you about the enemies approaching, in doom, the music warns the enemies about you😂

INTO THE SANDY CITY

You need to check the MGR soundtrack Red sun and the stains of time are absolute bangers

You have to listen to the Helldivers 2 ost it's phenomenal work

There are many other games with remarkable soundtracks such as Skyrim (Ancient Stones, Dragonborn's Theme song etc), Mass Effect (Leaving Earth, Omega DLC theme etc), Dragon Age (Leliana's song, Inquisition theme etc), The Witcher (Battle music from Assassin of Kings i.e 2, And 3 is filled with awesome music) and many more...

You should check out Giratina’s theme from PLA

Do listen to "The only thing they fear is you" one of the best ones by mick gordan imo. Tho it's hard to find the original version and most of the stuff on yt is some version ripped from the game

Not sure if it's said anywhere in the comments, but there are 0 guitars used in the composition of this track. It sounds like there are, but Mick has said there aren't. Nuts!

can you do, "the only thing they fear is you" it's my fav soundtrack from the game

you back! awesome. check it out on Herald of Darkness from Alan Wake 2 OST.

check out serious sam musics.especially grand cathedral from the second encounter and serious sam 4

You should check out the “Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze” Soundtrack.

I’m not a metal person or whatever you’d call it. But for doom going around slaughtering demons it’s perfect and could make the most posh of people want to kill.
