BattleCat Posted January 6, 2005 I'm sitting here listening to a somewhat recent album by a band called Annihilator, which is a thrash metal band. The album is called "Waking The Fury" and was released in 2002. The reason I post this is that some of the songs remind so incredibly much of Doom (not in the way certain Pantera, Slayer (+ others) songs would). In particular one called "My Precious Lunatic Asylum", but also some other songs. So I'm wondering why. It's probably the same style or something...thoughts people ? 0 Share this post Link to post

Stealthy Ivan Posted January 6, 2005 Some of the music used in the original doom's is from metal bands, just changed around a little. I too have heard songs that remind me of doom songs, It happens... 0 Share this post Link to post
Dittohead Posted January 7, 2005 Apocalyptica is the only good answer to this question. No singing, just stringed instruments, some of which are down-tuned and distorted. Pretty awesome stuff. 0 Share this post Link to post

Marius Posted January 10, 2005 I had a Queen cd in my disk drive for awhile so when i would play certain wads zdoom would start playing the cd. It's rather odd dooming with "I want to break free" playing the background but it oddly works. 0 Share this post Link to post
TheBondageCupcake Posted January 17, 2005 The only song that there is, or ever will be, to play any kind of shootemup: Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie. I know that sounds ridiculous, but try it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Amaster Posted January 17, 2005 I've grown a real liking to listening to ragtime music while playing doom. There's something about it that makes you feel a little crazy. I have very little of that kind of music unfortunately. Jazz is good too. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted January 17, 2005 I have a few records I think go really well with different wads. Examples: An old grunge act from 92 named Dizzy Mizz Lizzy. Goes really well with E1 (and E1 style wads) for some reason. Björk or Massive Attack when playing the Evilution IWAD. Some weird experimental pop act from England named Pram goes well along with the kinda offbeat Realm of the Spider Gods. 0 Share this post Link to post

wildweasel Posted January 21, 2005 I'm really weird, so I sometimes play Doom while listening to the soundtrack from Mr. Driller, Castlevania (any of them), or Strong Bad Sings And Other Type Hits. 0 Share this post Link to post
Pirx Posted January 22, 2005 sometimes rammstein. but i still like the original doom music best. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dagazur Posted January 23, 2005 Stealthy Ivan said:Yea they are... Incorrect. Anyway I usually just like to doom the the midis already in the wad. But if I was to play some normal music it'd be some Immortal or Symphony X, this way I can pretend I'm using an axe instead of a shotgun and slay teh dragons and claim the castle. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kelzam Posted January 28, 2005 Anymore, I Doom to Moi Dix Mois or Malice Mizer 0 Share this post Link to post
Kochipahk Posted January 31, 2005 I usually just pay with whatever music comes with the wad, but I will sometimes put in Green Day's one instrumental song. It's calm, so it soothes you when you're fighting 20 Barons of Hell with a pistol. 0 Share this post Link to post
Uncle 80 Posted January 31, 2005 Pantera, Slayer and Annihilator are all classic. Maybe Annihilator reminds you of Doom the same way the Annihilator reminds me of, say, Slayer or Pantera (and many others from that corner of time)? As for Dimmu Borgir, they have removed themselves pretty far from what black metal is. Listen to any of their recent albums, and then listen to something like "Panzerfaust" by DarkThrone. _NOT_ quite the same, I would say... As for my preferred gaming soundtrack, I usually settle for the in-game music. When I'm making maps, I listen to any of the old Frank Zappa albums. 0 Share this post Link to post
Jon Posted February 3, 2005 I listen to 'Sisters of Mercy - Alice', which I'm convinced is yet another track Bobby Prince ripped off, but I can't figure out which level. Anyone else? 0 Share this post Link to post
