Doom Playlist

Recommended Posts

As much as I love the nostalgic sound of the original MIDI music and the various music packs (doom metal, PSXMUSIC, etc.), sometimes I love to just have windows media player playing in the background with my "doom playlist" going. Songs I love dooming to (on shuffle):

1. Coffinworm: Strip Nude For Your Killer
2. Yob: Exorcism of the Host
3. Harvey Milk: Dating Pressures
4. Benny Hill: Main Theme (hilarity guaranteed on busy maps)
5. Bongripper: The entire Satan Worshipping Doom album
6. Acid Bath: Finger Paintings of the Insane
7. Witchery: Shallow Grave
8. Megadeth: Headcrusher
9. Metallica: Damage Inc.
10. Pantera: Slaughtered
11. Slayer: Deviance
12. Om: State of Non Return
13. White Zombie: Feed the Gods
14. Rob Zombie: Demonoid Phenomenon
15. Heaven and Hell: Fear

This is not a complete list, and all artists listed have several songs that I love playing to. This is just a best of list.

What is yours?

When it comes to working on The NIGHTMARE! Palace, I listen to a playlist of Monolith BLOOD CD Audio via Winamp.

For the Xmas wad I was enhancing for 2 years, random Christmas CD Audio music. Have a few of those.

Techbases, Gears Grinding (Nuts And Bolts Remix), and A Site For Sawed Eyes from Itchy And Scratchy SNES.

When it comes to playlists and Dooming, I generally have ambient music which consists of work by Aubrey Hodges (PSX Doom/Final/64 and Quake/Quake II). I also have tracks by Aphex Twin, various movie scores such as synth music from John Carpenter movies. I also like listening to Skinny Puppy, Ministry, Front Line Assembly and Nine Inch Nails while I'm Dooming, or even mapping.

I don't really like the original MUS's myself at all. Aubrey Hodges is the definitive soundtrack for me.

Bongripper, Harvey Milk, Yob...

FUCK yeah! I've been mapping/dooming to Black Sheep Wall, Indian, Mgla, Full of Hell and Prurient recently. Doom metal and noise for the moody levels, black/grind for the faster paced ones.

I also sometimes like no music whatsoever...

Sometimes I just play full albums that I buy or plan on buying later on. They are, most of the time, metal albums. The last one I played is Machinery's The Passing, which I'm on the verge of buying. Sometimes I just turn on my iTunes' Genius Mix of metal.

I usually only have music on while mapping, when playing I just let the WAD's music play quitely.

Example of one of my mapping playlists:

Baroness - Grad
Vespers Descent - Cardinal Red
Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots
Frank Zappa - Keep It Greasey
The Beatles - Revolution
Jimi Hendrix - 3rd Stone from the Sun
Mordbid Angel - Destructos VS The Earth: Attack
Led Zeppelin - Lemon Song
Slayer - I Hate You

All great mappin' songs.

You've got great taste, man. I just showed my girlfriend Fairies Wear Boots the other day. She's not into metal at all, so I'm showing her the ropes. She loved it, I tell ya no lies.

Songs I listen to while I map:

Mastodon - March of the Fire Ants
Mushroomhead - Qwerty
Mushroomhead - Outta My Mind
Cattle Decapitation - Kingdom of Tyrants
Cattle Decapitation - Manufactured Extinct
Fear Factory - Self Immolation
Fear Factory - Scumgrief(Deep Dub Trauma Remix)(probably the only case where I've liked a remix over the original)
Killing Joke - Love Like Blood
Type O Negative - Anasthesia
EarthBound - Numerous Giygas themes
Silent Hill - My Heaven
Quake - Damnation

As you can see there's a bit of video game music near the end: I found a playlist of "Disturbing Video Game Music" on YouTube that's got quite a lot of interesting tracks on it. I even used one in a speedmap, although in retrospect I kind of wish I hadn't.

Oh, yeah! I also forgot to add "XIII." There's also something relaxing about working on maps and listening to that CD. I've seen them 7 times, too (4 old school shows; 2 shows in MD, and one in VA). They're definitely a must-see band live.

Cannibal Corpse - Festering In The Crypt
Vektor - Black Future
Thomas Tallis - Spem In Alium

Slayer - Behind The Crooked Cross
Cannibal Corpse - Priests of Sodom

I've seen those guys so many times I actually lost count. Best live show I've ever been to, and that's saying something. Some big names I've seen Ozzy, Black Sabbath, Megadeth, (Fuckin') Slayer, Behemoth, Static X, Lamb of God, Black Label Society, Halford, Hatebreed, Skeletonwitch. Overkill, Devildriver. Mudvayne...none of their shows compare to the energy of a Mushroomhead show.

Also, my fellow Mushroomhead fans...check out Ventana if you haven't. Particularly the song "The Dying Sound".

Woah! That's sick, dude! I wish I could've seen Static X live. Hatebreed and LoG are phenomenal live, too.

I've been to a countless number of shows. Ones that really stuck out to me were Mushroomhead, Obituary, Entombed, Lamb of God, Grave, Cannibal Corpse, Chimaira, Korn, Napalm Death, Kataklysm, Pungent Stench, Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, KMFDM, Black Witchery, Tech N9ne, and a few others. I just can't remember. MRH definitely rule! It was really, really hot at the show in Peabody's. I'd say nothing beats the hometown crowd; heck, everyone went bat crazy when they played 'Idle Worship.' God, I love that song. One band I'd like to see live is Deadsy. Deadsy rocks!

I love Ventana!! I think they should put out some new tunes. 10,000 Cadillacs (J and Skinny's other project) are back together. I believe they're working on some new material at the moment.

I don't usually listen to anything while playing games, I just stick with whatever music the WAD has.

But if I'm playing the normal game sometimes I'll stick on some cheesy Industrial/Aggrotech or put on some Black/Death Metal. Sometimes 50's Rock and Roll. I dunno what it is though, as much as I love listening to music outside of video games, I rarely make use of custom music or background music in them.

Rammstein, Alice Cooper, Slipknot, Disturbed, Linkin Park... all of these go well with my daily Doom.

I usually stick to the game's original soundtrack, though :)

Awesome!! Do you by any chance have this WAD for download, bro?


I do. Let me see if I can get the media fire link out of my outbox. If not, I'll send it to you when I get home from work. In the wad, titled "Black Sabbath", you'll also find a Slayer easter egg in the pentagram room.

This wad requires jumping.
