DOOM Eternal Original Game Soundtrack

[Myrkul]

This might be a bit early as the soundtrack is still not available on digital stores (should not be very long though).

Informations comes from the sountrack released for owners of the Collector's Edition version of the game.
The commercial release could be different.

The "Heavy Metal Choir" can be heard here and there, but mostly on the track Gladiator Boss (Kar En Tuk !)
(also RIP Nature Ganganbaigal).

Bobby Prince is credited for the track DOOM Eternal which is kinda a remix of DOOM II track Opening to Hell.

I need a physical version of this :'(

Changed the entry as enclosure, i do not know if this album will ever get a commercial release with what is going on between Mick Gordon & ID.

Some fans were clearly disapointed with the release.
Here's the answer from ID executive producer:
DOOM Eternal OST Open Letter

That was an eye-opening read. There's always so much more to the story than we know.

Mick Gordon's side of the story differs from Marty Stratton's:

If we take all this for granted, the tl;dr version is something like:


The executive producer
- refused to pay the composer for music that was used
- gave no direction on the OST and stalled the project
- kept the composer in the dark and tried to shift the blame on him publicly

The composer
- didn't take the contractual April 16 deadline for the OST at face value
- delivered only 10 instead of 12 tracks
- was bitter over the contract not giving him creative control over the OST and disowned it publicly


No one is completely innocent in this matter. If there's any lesson to be learned from this, it's probably to negotiate a contract with terms you're happy with, and to stick to that contract 100% if you work with people who you don't trust 100%. At this point it's probably better to just move on because nothing good will come of it for everyone involved.

Basically this. Not trying to act like Mick shouldn't tell his side of the story, but I mean hasn't it been like two years since this originally flared up? I probably would have been more interested back then.

I'm sure there were NDAs involved or whatever that prevented him from coming out with this until now.

If they tried to put a gag order on the composer, there's a good chance of some legal mumbo jumbo having gone on in the background.

To anyone up for more drama:

We are aware of all the details and history in this matter and unequivocally support Marty, Chad, and the team at id Software. We reject the distortion of the truth and selective presentation of incomplete "facts." We stand ready with full and complete documented evidence to disclose in an appropriate venue as needed.

The statements posted online have incited harassment and threats of violence against Marty, Chad, and the id Software team. Any threats or harassment directed towards members of our teams will be met with swift and appropriate action to protect their health and safety.

We remain incredibly proud of id's previous collaborations with Mick Gordon and ask that fans refrain from reaching conclusions based on his account and, more importantly, from attacking any of the individuals mentioned on either side, including Marty, Chad, or Mick.

It struck me as funny that both parties use the word "truth" in their statements. I don't think there's any other English word as worn off as "truth". You might as well replace all instances of it by "half-truth".

On one side Mr. Gordon provided evidence. Where is Bethesda and id Software's evidence? As far as I know, there's just a post on Reddit, Reddit of all things. Disgusting to see them state the composer mischaracterized and misrepresented the team, I recall him publishing a tweet where he asks to not start a harassment campaign aimed at the folks who created the game.

This whole mess should have just been handled in a court, instead of setting up a pathetic theatre on social networks.

As a video I watched about the matter pointed out, Gordon's (very long) diatrab about the matter is extremely referenced and backed up with receipts, which makes it look far more legit than vague "he's wrong" statements.

I'm sure this is true. I guess I should rephrase a little: I probably would be more interested in this had we not just gone through the Bayonetta thing. I don't think I realized how much THAT whole thing sapped out of me even though I was nowhere near the forefront of it.
