doom_is_great Posted May 30, 2018 We know that a lot of rock/metal songs were adapted and included in Classic Doom, such as Alice in Chain's Them Bones, and a song from Pantera (sorry, can't remember what is called). As I have listened to more rock and metal songs throughout my life, I have thought on occasion "Wow, this song would fit very well in Doom." One song that I have been listening to recently is Beyond the Wheel by Soundgarden. To me, it would be a perfect song for a boss level or final map. It just sounds so foreboding. Another one that I listened to a while is Heavy by Collective Soul. To me, it would be fitting for a fast-paced, action packed map. Another one is Ted Nugent's Stranglehold. Not the whole song, but at about 2:30, the bass rhythm reminds me of sneaking around a Doom level killing imps and zombies. Granted, the lyrics would have to be removed since lyrics would break the atmosphere of Doom. What are some songs that you have listened to over the years that would have fit very well in Classic Doom? 0 Share this post Link to post
notjimmyboigreez Posted May 30, 2018 more slayer, more pantera, more metalica 0 Share this post Link to post
seed Posted May 30, 2018 Lately I've been thinking that certain older songs by Grave (such as Obsessed) could work very well in some Doom levels. And at least a part of Dead Congregation's Immaculate Poison would work in a boss or more horror inspired level infested by hordes of demons. But yeah cavernous stuff wouldn't work most of the time I guess, I think thrash would be a more fitting candidate in general. 0 Share this post Link to post

Pegleg Posted May 30, 2018 Are we talking about more vanilla-type compatibility? In that case, I think it's important to consider how some of the songs that would sound as a midi file. If we're not worried about format then I suggest, in no particular order, (without looking to see if any of these songs already form the base of any Doom music): Black Sabbath - War Pigs Five Finger Death Punch - Jekyll and Hyde Five Finger Death Punch - You Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot Avenged Sevenfold - Unholy Confessions Avenged Sevenfold - Shepard of Fire Powerwolf - We Drink Your Blood Metallica - Creeping Death Metallica - Seek and Destroy Metallica - Dyers Eve Metallica - Blackened DragonForce - Through the Fire and Flames Disturbed - Inside the Fire Hammerfall - Any Means Necessary Rob Zombie - Dragula 0 Share this post Link to post

DeadAstronaut Posted May 30, 2018 I would say certain songs from Judas Priest's albums Hell Bent For Leather, Painkiller and Screaming For Vengeance. I wonder sometimes what kind of synth songs would fit properly in Doom. Maybe some of Gary Numan's work at his peak. 0 Share this post Link to post
MTF Sergeant Posted May 30, 2018 Been listening to this for quite a while: Would this count?? 0 Share this post Link to post
stochastic Posted May 31, 2018 This would be a great track for a long, ominous, sinister adventure map that encompasses several different moods just like the song itself. Mostly just evil, though. \m/ 0 Share this post Link to post
stochastic Posted May 31, 2018 Also, technically not metal, but this dark droney synth piece from Twin Peaks could fit perfectly in a Doom map. To me, it's reminiscent of the track in PRCP Map 19. 0 Share this post Link to post
Marlamir Posted May 31, 2018 Judas priest instrumental especially in midi version fits doom very well. 0 Share this post Link to post
ShoDemo Posted May 31, 2018 Iron Maiden - Be quick or be dead, Genghis Khan, Purgatory, anything from Somewhere in time and Seventh Son (good atmosphere), e.t.c. Judas Priest - Nightcrawler (maybe a bit too heavy for Doom), Turbo Lover (would love seeing it when getting prepared for a boss), Beyond the realms of death, Necromancer, Hellrider, Heavy metal, Breaking the Law, Electric Eye, e.t.c. Metallica - Ride the lightning as an album, Battery, Wherever I may roam Megadeth - Rattlehead, Symphony of Destruction, Sweating bullets and Rust in Peace as a whole, especially Tornado of Souls. 1 Share this post Link to post

ReX Posted June 4, 2018 Another aptly-named tune, this one being Transylvania Boogie, by Frank Zappa. [For another very cool version, listen to the live rendition by Warren Cuccurullo, a Zappa alum.] 0 Share this post Link to post
seed Posted June 4, 2018 Since I've been listening quite a bit to Aosoth these days, something eventually got stuck in my head from their debut album. I think an instrumental version of Soul Cremation would work very well when things get intense and require the player to act fast: 0 Share this post Link to post
Reaper8888 Posted June 4, 2018 Metal tracks in Doom is okay, but I prefer the use of more industrial tracks, such as some of the music that plays in parts of Doom 3. 0 Share this post Link to post
DMPhobos Posted June 5, 2018 I always thought that headless cross would fit well in doom, i used a midi version in one of my maps 0 Share this post Link to post
