In some modes, like nightmare mode, the layering in songs like this can really feel oppressive. And with Super Gore Nest being the ridiculously enemy-dense level that it is, the layering can build up and pile on with this feeling of triumph or frustration. Or both. It's insane how many different ways this song works to match what you're doing in-game.

i listen to this while stocking shelves at work

Thanks for introducing us to sound design lingo with this one! When you brought up vertical layering, I was reminded of Hollow Knight's Crystal Peak: during platforming segments, fast guitar riffs come forth and accompany the region's exploration theme.

Been listening to Mick since killer instinct. Type - 03 is probably still one of my favorite tracks Mick has ever produced.

As a sound engineer/music producer myself i love hearing other peoples opinions on tracks and stuff, even if the music in question is not my own, i love hearing others opinions - I believe it can inspire you and tune your creative flows. It also helps build your understanding of music/audio design and production, so thank you for these videos, they're absolutely great, I'd love to hear you talk about music from the ori series, imo phenomenal OST

The final song in the game doesn't get requested very much, but it's fantastically interesting. It's called "Icon of Sin".

Ayyyy I was there for this one! Super cool. on second listen I think the sound at 2:15 in the right ear is the reverb from the guitar on the left :D

instrumentally, and layer-wise this particular song sounds much like good-old Slipknot songs and Korn songs, especially on 6:00 when they mixed bass drum and percussion along with each other to have specific sound for that. i'm not even talking about strange samples, which Slipknot uses a lot in their songs

So Koma isn’t able to come on here and answer questions about his mix of this track, but from what he’s told me, that layer at 8:01 is actually a chunk from another DOOM track called Damnation that has been paulstretched. It’s a technique I used in my own mix of this song, but with a left/right pan

I just love how reacting to Mick Gordon's work in Doom or Doom Eternal brings a smile to your face.

this is pure educational music video, love this kind of info really much, congrats for your work

The main hook of this song is crazy and definitely does it's job. This OST, the songs that Mick Gordon specifically worked on, do a great job at capturing the dynamic aspects of the game. This track, for instance, when playing the level of the same name, is just a fantastic experience. The low level layers when not much is going on set the pace perfectly.

8:18 to around 10:20 is my favorite section of this track. Those riffs are so damn sick 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Appreciate ya checking out the doom eternal ost 🔥 best score for a game recently imo

3:50 The Batman Arkham games especially arkham city also does that type of music where the rythm is the same, the track is essentially the same but in combat there are more instruments added and the track gets „fuller” in a sense

A well known fact about this OST is that Mick got a Heavy Metal Choir together to supply vocals to the music. A little known fact is that he also hired a Wasp Hive choir to perform this song, but they exceeded their mandate and did the instrumentals as well with all the guitars and power tools Mick was going to use for this track.

The doom ost has gotten me killed so many times.. cuz when the beat drop you just need to jump in to RIP AND TEAR👹

I just found your channel through tiktok and have watched almost every Doom video, and one thing Mick Gordon prides himself on with working on the music for games is to focus on how the music matches the flow of the game

So much of Doom's soundtrack as a series is so good, and it's nice to see someone not only going "oh god that's GOOD" but also giving legitimate insight into the various elements of the music that someone not super versed in music production wouldn't notice right off the bat that makes the "oh god that's GOOD" feeling. P.S: You should check out Stained Brutal Calamity (My personal favorite) or The Devourer of Gods Nonstop Mix by DM Dokuro, they're longer tracks but honestly some of the most impressive music I've heard, let alone music for a game, and a free mod at that. Plus, you'll probably summon the majority of the Calamity community because we're always fiending for someone to react to the music from the mod : )

There are so many cool familiar elements that the DOOM soundtacks combine. Like imo some parts sound like Metallica, some parts like John Wick shootout soundtrack, and others like a Black Ops Zombies easter egg song.

the problem with showing people Doom music is its dynamic, so the static version has like six different build ups in a row lol. Normally you'd only hear one or two and get the drop when you like kill an enemy for example

Another recommendation for you. damnation from doom 2016. such an underrated track, but my personal favorite from that game with tons of stuff going on. you will appreciate it!

I find myself listening to the Doom soundtrack while dirt biking. Fitting

I just discovered this channel and I have to say I love your commentaries! I was wondering if there is any chance you can review any of the music from the Witcher 3 and Project Wingman (particularly Kings and Peacekeeper)?

I feel like Mick Gordon was listening to a lot of slipknot while doing this track XD ALSO, I highly recommend GeoffPlaysGuitar He does doomcore songs.

As someone with only 4 years of "traditional band" (Trumpet) experience and then teaching myself guitar, this up and coming producer perspective on these tracks is dope! Keep up the great work.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Mick Gordon is a musical mad scientist, and I mean that in the best ways possible.

Mick Gordon has actually talked about the layering technique in a documentary with NoClip where he specifically mentions that he avoided doing that because "it makes the sound feel messy" and instead opted for making many variations on his riffs, bridges, breakdowns to randomly connect when needed. Granted this was in talking about Doom 2016 and not Doom Eternal so it could be he opted to layer here

First time I really took notice of that vertical layering was in Deus Ex Human Revolution. After beating it I found a game rip with the audio nicely labelled and had some fun combining certain layers differently than the game did

She is passing the try not to headbang challenge

In the slower parts of the song you can hear this slow cymbal which sounds like an idling chainsaw. Knowing Mick Gordon it probably was a chainsaw

I hear the "lead pipe hitting beer-keg" sound from a lot of slipknot sounds in parts of this.

oh hell yes!

FINALLY!!!

Oooh heck yess 😮

You should listen to Mick's other masterpiece soundtrack: Wolfenstein - The New Colossus. There are reallygreat songs like Reich Between the Eyes, Right Trigger Warning, Blazko Kill the Nazis, Horton Hears a Revolution, Nazi Punks Gtfo, Der Zerstörer.

Young wolf is another great listen from Destiny Rise Of Iron. Love your reactions!

"Guardian" is an all timer for Destiny and a must listen.

A good set of music you listen to. :>

Wait to discover the 264bpm version of this

I listen to this when im landscaping lol :D Works fine for me in the tall grass

Ayyyyye 😁

I think the Deus Ex games nailed vertical layering, especially the second game

Definitely need to listen to Immora next. Easily the hardest track in the game.

This my favorite track from Doom eternal

this level is pretty much a vibe check, u become more careful or a fucking speed demon

Everytime I hear this, it just reminds me of slipknot, particularly the metal drums in the background ❤

🤘😎🤘

Its a shame his soundtracks hurt the game devs egos. The running joke was a game came with the Doom Soundtrack 😂

seria bueno que subiera uno con esa cancion, Dead Cells - Prisoner's Awakening.

would love to see your reaction on ghost of tsushima intro

0:59 This is a reprise to E1M1 from Doom2 (motif? not a music theorist so not sure of the jargon) -- the whole piece is loosely, but this part early on gives it away.

Mick Gordon is a SAVAGE... and I adore him for it 🤘🥰

i really want an action movie but Mick Gordon does the score for it. Like a movie with a swat team and one of the scenes is them clearing a house, kicking down doors, throwing flashbangs, tear gas, sting grenades, just absolutely going ham whilst you've got a DOOM soundtrack shredding and pumping pure testosterone and violence. I'd like that......Ready Or Not movie??

If you want more, you should check out Fear Factory. They made music similar to this back in the 90s!

A fly?!? A mutant fly from hell that wants to eat your soul.

Wow doom eternal is my favorite game. You should play it !!!!!!

I always thought Super Gore Nest gives you the feeling of having your head inside of a bees nest, especially in the intro. There is some crazy panning and stuff going on that makes you feel absolutely surrounded.

pls listen to slave knight gael ost from dark sous 3

I am pretty sure they made these songs and created the game after the songs, to fit the songs.

Review Children of the Omnissiah please!

"McGordon" :))

I love when a visual piece of art and audio one present in one video. And I'm not talking about the pictures.

This sounds different than the version I have 😮

Do i have to pay for music requests or can i just put one here right now? Becasue Warframes "this is what you are" is top tier

too bad mick gordon is never making another game soundtrack for ID

Doom Crossing: Eternal Horizons. If you can't do a video with it you should at least check it out 😂

here is a list of more boomer shooters with amazing music: Hedon: Crystal Heart & Bloodrite, Beyond Sunset, CULTIC

Ive said mick gordon made "if then" statements with this soundtrack. IF doom slayer isnt in combat, THEN play this part of the song

Doom is eternal

lawnmower!!!

A priest listens to this while telling you to believe in god

Thats not the Original soundtrack version OST version is like 5 minutes long

It's cool :) don't denay it in my profession make me Berserk Mode :)

But have you completed Super Gore Nest?

Some of the music actually isn't music at all in the sense of musical instruments. The music Mick Gordon did for DOOM (2016) is explained by him in this video, filmed at GDC, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i5p2gaV-v9nVoo0.html As a producer, I think you will enjoy learning something NEW -- because Mick Gordon himself had never done this before and neither had anybody else!

Подтяну свой английский язык.

I apologize but there's drugs. Stop the drugs

fun fact, most of your DOOM reactions is on the game rip tracks which is not MIck Gordon's mix, it's the corporate sht, mick's originals is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better mixed , structured and mastered

And people still say that DOOM music sucks

Sad that you reacted to the "wrong" version of the track, they kinda released the official, without Mick's envolviment, but still, the official version is better built from the game archives, from what I know Chad Mossholder gathered all the tracks and put them together all by himself.

(((music producer)))

It's crazy that id software didn't want any heavy metal on the Doom soundtrack. Is it possible to reap and tear to EDM? I don't think so. ⛧⸸⛧

Been listening to Mick since killer instinct. Type - 03 is probably still one of my favorite tracks Mick has ever produced.
