gutnose Posted March 6, 2021 (edited) Hey all, came here to share my cover version of Bobby Prince's 1993 Doom Soundtrack (https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Doom_music) The way I experienced the soundtrack back in the 90's was with the OPL Soundblaster version, this and Streets of Rage 2 were my favorite game soundtracks, legendary and hugely influential. I recently got a hold of ADLplug (https://github.com/jpcima/ADLplug) which is an synthesizer vst emulation of the OPL chip. I loaded up the Doom Midi's and I was in heaven because it sounds pretty spot on. I then got the idea to load up other vst synths instead of using ADL to play it back, and thus 'Hell-Deep In the Flesh' was born. I think I did a fairly decent job in staying faithful to the original vibe, while imparting my own little spin to it. All praises due to Bobby Prince and the metal bands that he borrowed swag from, lol. Music to blast demons to: https://gutnose.bandcamp.com/album/hell-deep-in-the-flesh Hope you enjoy this, thanks. - Edit: 3/24/21 The great Dwimepon has placed the OST inside the DOOM.wad!

ReX Posted March 6, 2021 Listening to Hell Deep in the Flesh. It's hypnotic and eerie and quite enjoyable. Kudos! 0 Share this post Link to post

Dwimepon Posted March 9, 2021 I'm giving it a listen right now and woah, it sounds great. Just like ReX said, it's very hypnotic, and overall it's so different and unexpected from the rest of the Doom soundtrack cover. Every tracks feels more ambient and less agressive and yet there's a distinct, almost techno feel to the whole thing. It reminds me of a subtler Yuzo Koshiro OST, which makes sense considering you said you love the SOR2 soundtrack. It's just great, congrats! I can definitely see myself making a .wad out of it and playing Doom 1 again with this album, one day. 0 Share this post Link to post

I've heard some of the covers, some really add a lot to the original like Hulshult's IDKFA, for me, I just stayed within the guidelines while imparting my own twist. The lofi aspect of it def rounds the edges a bit. .wad idea sound rad. Maybe I should look into distributing these inside a .wad? I would need some direction though :) On 3/10/2021 at 8:52 AM, Rudolph said: Doom II cover when? :D Actually started off this whole 'cover the amazing Robert Prince Doom music' journey with 'The Dave D. Taylor Blues' from Doom II. Originally was only gonna do my favorites from each game but I then told myself "alright let's go ahead and do the entire Doom 1 soundtrack." Probably will do Doom II at some point... no plans, however if there's enough interest from the community.. it can happen sooner than later :) 0 Share this post Link to post

You just need to create a new .wad file using SLADE3 or any Doom resource editor, drag-and-drop your songs into it and rename every song based on the "MUS" column of the songs in this page. I can even do it for you later if you want to! 0 Share this post Link to post

Dwimepon Posted March 24, 2021 No problem, knock yourself out! Since it only replaces the music and nothing else, it should work on any source port with ogg support, too. (So pretty much every single one of them). 0 Share this post Link to post
NoXion Posted March 24, 2021 I'm listening to At Doom's Gate, and the guitars sound really quiet compared to the drums. Is it meant to sound that way? Otherwise it sounds great. 0 Share this post Link to post
NoXion Posted March 24, 2021 The Imp's Song sounds perfect though, groovy and spooky. 0 Share this post Link to post

Some things are quiet or loud in comparison for sure, I know I def wanted the drums to hit a certain way! Appreciate your feedback, Thanks for listening! 0 Share this post Link to post
