The entire concept of being like “that’s a guitar” and someone looking at you and saying, “actually that’s a fucking chainsaw” is so fucking funny to me

The music is dynamic in the game aswell. When sh*t goes down the music picks up and gets louder, and when you have downtime it mellows down which is very interesting to notice.

One of the really clever things that Doom 2016 did was when performing a finishing move on weakened enemies, the music would pull back and go muffled for that brief moment before coming back in after the animation was complete. The fully produced soundtrack pieces mimic those moments when you hear that little pull back before returning to the heaviness.

If I remember correctly the reason why all these songs have different tempos etc. is that in the game they work dynamically, so when there is slow moment in the game, the song is slow, and when there is high octane action going the song is going bonkers.

It's so amazing that the way she describes the music is exactly how the game play feels. Just both go so well together it's why I doom is so amazing

If you want a very strong example of Mick Gordon's range, you should look into the Killer Instinct 2013 soundtrack. Each song is tailored to a specific character/stage, and the amount of variety is huge. "Hinnamatoom" and "Polemos" are two of my favourites!

It's hard to pick one because all of Doom soundtracks are amazing. I recommend super gore nest

I love how there is 0 intro, just straight into the music.

I'd recommend "Meathook" from the Doom Eternal OST, that's another banger. Also, Andrew Hulshult makes good music like this, they got him to work on Doom Eternal's Ancient Gods DLC after Mick Gordon left. Andrew Hulshult's music from the games DUSK and Prodeus are worth checking out too, especially "Cables and Chaos" and "Dusk" from the Prodeus and DUSK OST's respectively. He also made his own soundtrack for classic Doom called "IDFKA" and did music for the 2013 Rise of the Triad remake. Aside from those two, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance has some great boss music kinda similar to this. "A Stranger I Remain", "Rules of Nature", "Stains of Time", "Red Sun", "The Only Thing I Know For Real", "It Has To Be This Way", and "Collective Consciousness" are all great. And the last song there, someone found out it's 1:1 with "All I Want For Christmas", so there's a version that combines both songs out there.

The game-rip version is so much crazier you would LOVE it.

Literally just found this channel, I just love how it seems like nothing gets missed and you can share the pure enjoyment of the music with her.

"more doom recommendations" - just add both complete soundtracks to the list. They are all soooo good

Love these reactions, very dope to hear the perspective of someone who's knowledgeable about the little intricacies in the sounds! If I had to suggest something, it'd be Dark Colossus - Kaiju from Nier: Automata, such a nice, solid progression throughout the song!

Check out the "Hellwalker". That is one of the best atmospheric tracks I ever heard.

Glad to see more people enjoying the amazing work that gets put into video game music. Highly recommended "Hellwalker" from Doom 2016, "This is what you are" from Warframe and pretty much anything from the Nier Automata soundtrack.

I really enjoyed in the build section with layering and the new melody (and in a lot of Mick Gordon's similar build sections) how it was a slow build until the very last couple measures, where it quickly accelerated into the drop, it's really interesting how it's paced to let you sit in this texture before pushing you forward into the main theme!

I wonder what you would think of the Mechanicus OST. Its more ambiance but its very unique .

I always love listening to doom metal when i need to wind down and relax.

Gladiator from Doom Eternal, probably my favorite from the OST

Wildly different vibes, but at some point if you haven't already, you've got to check out some of the Halo soundtracks by Martin O'Donnell. Deference for Darkness from Halo 3:ODST is my favorite instrumental track of all time, and One Final Effort from Halo 3 is also phenomenal. Honestly all the music in Halo is incredible. Great content, definitely subscribed!

Your ability to explain actually super complex musical theory in super simple English is unmatched. I love it

Just seen a couple of you videos of Mick Gordon work on Doom and notice you are really getting into it that I think is awesome. Mick Gordon is a musician metal genius and love his work.

So, when I was a teacher, I would play music while my students worked on assignments, and they loved this.

My choice is DOOM Eternal OST - Cultist Base!

Can't wait to see more reactions especially to any Final Fantasy Music especially 14.

"The only thing they fear is you"

I think a track you’d really like from the DOOM 2016 game is called Flesh and Metal. It’s imo one of the best tracks Mick Gordon put on the soundtrack for DOOM 2016. Full of bamboozling and crazy sounds that will blow your mind!! It’s a must to react to!

I've heard from @camelworks that some of the strange sounds in some of the songs on that album, have secrets. If you play them through a software that shows the sound waves, you can see the original Doom guy, pentagrams, stuff like that 🤘

IIRC the main stringed instrument used in the Doom soundtrack was a 9 stringed instrument that was akin to a bass/guitar combo.

Mick Gordon also made the soundtrack for the last Killer Instinct. Hard recommendation for the track The Instinct, especially fun to compare old and new version which are both on the soundtrack.

My favorite musical genre, “chainsaw”.

oh Mastermind is an absolute banger! It's my car riding track on loop

DOOM Eternal - BFG 10,000 is a must!

Fun fact: When initially making the soundtrack, Mick Gordon was requested to not use guitars for the music but he couldnt help himself and did it anyways but it was so good they didnt care (most of it was made with an 9 string and a literal chainsaw rev was used in the soundtrack as part of the music)

That hard cut at the end. CHILLS

the music is like a gun or a war there are some breaks to recharge and the big breaks is like for the fear of the war and guns

Both have probably been mentioned before, but I'd put my vote towards "Mastermind" from Doom 2016 and "Meathook" from Eternal. Another honorable mention goes to "Disposal Unit (Imperium Mix)" by Jesper Kyd from the Darktide OST.

I don't know if you keep doing it, I really loved Hell Walker from the first Doom (and also loved Harbinger). I liked, less goosbumps but really cool, Hell on Earth from Doom Eternal (but the Gamerip one, the ost is meh. Problem is it last 9 min, but it's really awesome). For other games ost you can go listen Dead Cells I loved the soundtracks (the main screen really reflect the feeling about the story of the game). I've played Outer Wilds, really great ambient ost (astonishing game too, if you have time play it, without web answers ! All on your own). I'm playing Unrailed, the soundtrack is so thrilling with the main vibe, I love the Ghost driver one. Keep doing it, it's fun seeing someone discovering your favorite ost 🤩😎 !

Temazo!!

Why does doom music relax me.

Loved this reaction you should listen to capitalcorns version of this song. Its non stop headbanging

Another very similar work by Mick Gordon for Killer Instinct Reboot is Inferno, Itruly Believe that was the seed from all the Doom Music grew

Another good suggestion is hell Walker I believe? Very big and heavy but pretty slow. A nice change of pace

The composer Mick Gordon mixed all of the 2016 soundtrack, but only got the opportunity to mix a few songs from Eternal. I would prioritize those before moving onto other tracks, which will either be fan mixes or done by the sound design team at id. Those songs are: Cultist Base, Meathook, Command And Control, DOOM Eternal & The Icon Of Sin. Also, a few ambient tracks: The Betrayer, Welcome Home Great Slayer, A Cultist Prayer, Prayer Of The Diminished & Sinister. (My fave of the ambience being the last two. *Sinister* is fun lol) My personal reccs are *Cultist Base, Meathook & Command And Control.* BUT, another thing. People always focus on Mick Gordon's DOOM work, and honestly, for good reason lol, but he does have other work. Most notably in Wolfenstein & Killer Instinct. KI, especially, has some great stuff. From that, I'd reccomend a song called *Warlord* . It's the theme for a skellybones man & it may or may not include an instrument (kangling) made from a real bone. Fitting, huh lol. And once Atomic Heart releases Volume 2 of their soundtrack, we'll have even more Mick Gordon music to blast. (Also, since you're at it with the FromSoft stuff. Lemme throw the *Blood-starved Beast & Cleric Beast* songs into the mix.)

0:50 reminds me of old SlipKnoT songs

You could check out the OG Doom song E1M1 - At Doom's Gate. From the original Doom game

"Hellwalker" is dope af too

Getting in a groove and then taking a step back Yup Thats the music reloading😂

Fr. Doom taught me how to pull out.

It's way shorter but at doom's gate Is an amazing one

If you're a fan of heavy music then I would recommend Lorna Shore - To the Hellfire, it's an absolute must listen to for deathcore fans. In a similar vein Jinjer - Pisces is also incredible.

I truly feel Mick's intention in these breaks to then drop the beat again is literally him saying to the player, "Remember, you need to breath". And when you close your eyes and put yourself into the doom slayer's pov, each one of those breaks is him remembering to breath.

What DAW do you use for your music production? I checked your YT page to listen to your music but all I see are reaction videos?

You should try 'Charge Assault' from Ace Combat 7. It gives me chills each time

Mick Gordon is king

The "it's a chainsaw and a lawnmower, not a guitar" thing is circlejerked to hell but the truth is Mick only sampled the chainsaw sound from Classic Doom (1993) (Mick did NOT use a real chainsaw) in 2 tracks: Hellwalker--Doom 2016 and Cultist Base--Doom Eternal. Once you listen to Hellwalker (2:04-2:37, 4:00-4:46) you will be able to identify the chainsaw sound pretty easily. Mick recorded his neighbor's lawnmower sound and used it in The Only Thing They Fear Is You. To claim that Mick did not use a guitar in every single Doom track is kinda ridiculous as we can watch him play in BFG Division and Rip and Tear, plus how much he talked about introducing guitars into the soundtrack in his GDC 2017 talk.

You should check out the soundtrack to Risk of Rain 2, I love the futuristic sound to it and it definitely makes you feel amazing having it full blast while playing the game.

i can recommend the Total Annihilation OST. that are some orchestral epics from 1997! probably before you where born... oh god... when did i get so old?

if it hasn't been recommended yet, Mick Gordon's cover of Song of the Partisan also rules

more great doom tracks to check out are meathook, cultist base, and hellwalker. some tracks for doom eternal were also never properly mixed for the OST, instead being sloppily slapped together at the last second by an audio engineer at id. these fan mixes by a youtuber called koma will sound a lot better: super gore nest, metal hell, bfg 10k, final sin and finally, after some disputes between mick and some of the higher ups at id over impossible deadlines (which is why the doom eternal OST was never finished), mick left and andrew hulshult and david levy were brought in the compose for the two story DLCs. there is a very apparent separation from micks style in their OSTs but i think they managed to deliver. some of the best tracks from them are blood swamps, world spear, and reclaimed earth

Check out Flesh and metal very brutal song. I believe the guitar tuning on that is like drop A0.

if you want to experience more Doom music you'll find alot of cool tracks in Doom Eternal ie. Blood Swamps, The Trial Maligog, Cultist Base and more.

Would love to see you reacon on Ace Combat Zero Ost - Zero [Digitally Re-Mastered Extended Remix]

You talk about the little pull backs that the tracks do... I think of them like taking a breath. You're headbang away just going at it killing all the demons come upbfor a quick breath and plunge back in.

Periphery Drummer ❤

hi em young i love mick gordon he is an absolute genius, he has perfect, i have played 9 hours of mick gordons music on a bass with 4 string and i also played it an octave higher. i really sorry for the way that he was treated. from nathan carroll

DOOM ETERNAL OST Main Theme by far the best

good reaction not over reacting thx being genuine

Yo should listen "Hellwalker" (menu music from DOOM 2016) People usually dont react to it but its awesome

Swear those little pull out moments are just Mick saying, "Yeah, guys, it's a lot. Quick breath, aaaannnndd we're back." Lol

Les go cultist base gamerip🤟😎

"bfg division alex terrible" Mick Gordon's sound with vocal

Marilyn Manson - Seizure of Power from Resident Evil

DOOM is merciless, unrelenting, brutal, the music needs to reflect that. Mick Gordon captures the powerful energy of the game like it's lightning in a bottle, and that adds to the effect the gore has on you, it feels disgusting and the music takes that feeling and turns it into pure bloodlust, I would suggest watching Mick Gordon's video about the music, it truly makes you look at the world of DOOM in a much different way. Also, love the content!

2:54 guitar *combined* with chainsaw, but here it is mostly just guitar

I reccomend the super gore nest and the meathook for you

If this is up your alley, might I suggest literally any song from the Guilty Gear series such as The Circle or Let Me Carve Your Way

RIP AND TEAAAAAR 👹🤬🤬🤬👹

Can we get a reaction for Bury the Light from Devil May Cry 5? That would be poggers.

Bury the Light by the amazing Casey Edwards plz!

Only Mick Gordon can make musik with chainsaws that actually is fuckin badass

this song always reminds me of early slipknot.

I would recommend the killer instinct soundtrack. It’s made by the same artist.

Im new to your channel and I love your reactions. I'd like you to check out Mick gordon Flesh and Metal or Andromida The Pathogen Downfall if you can please?

Other good songs to listen to. Ace Combat 7, Faceless Soldier, Hush, Hero of Comberth Harbor, and Daredevil. Mass Effect trilogy, Saren theme, Long Walk, the Fall of Earth, and Suicide Mission.

This song is so much Slipknot it's crazy

You should react to one of the vocal covers of the Doom soundtrack by Alex Terrible. They're awesome

People heard "sampled chainsaw" and ran with it. There are absolutely guitars involved in the sound, the sampled chainsaw is but one of the layers.

For run you should listen to the doom croosing. Its Doom and animal croosing

*Gordon Ramsey Voice* Finally some decent fucking doom music reviews

If you like this, you should check out old Command and Conquer tunes.

The DOOM 3 Theme is one of my favorites. its a shorter one compared to the DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal songs. but its still great.

Please react to Kevin Penkin's work. More specifically the Made in Abyss soundtrack. Cheers.

you NEED to listen to cultist base !!!

For an actual Doom track, Flesh & Metal next.

MORE reactions to DOOM soundtracks!

Dark Souls 3 Lothric and Lorian's theme is insane

I highly- HIGHLY recommend Slave Knight Gael's OST from Dark Souls 3!

"its a chainsaw" "Shit that sounds like other shit" No its an actual chainsaw!

I love how he makes his music like a roller coaster. You dive headfirst into the shit, get maybe a second to breath, then finish a room, and move on to more crazy shit. The music follows the pace of the actual combat and it's crazy good. This isn't from Doom, but a soundtrack that Mick Gordon worked on alongside Geoffplaysguitar. Still hoping we get the Mick Gordon cut of this soundtrack however they both did an amazing job lmao kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mrV0o7Jexreml4k.html
