Laced Records, in partnership with Bethesda Softworks and id Software, today announced that the DOOM (Original Game Soundtrack) by composer Mick Gordon will make its long-awaited debut on physical audio formats (Vinyl/CD) in Summer 2018.The 2xLP was cut at the world famous Abbey Road Studios. The DOOM (Original Game Soundtrack) will be available in two formats at retail; a Deluxe Double CD in a triple gatefold sleeve including all 31 tracks from the game and a deluxe Double Vinyl with 20 favorite tracks selected by the developers pressed on 180g red vinyl and cased in a deluxe sleeve with full printed inner sleeves.A Game Awards 2016 Winner for Best Music / Sound Design and BAFTA Games Nominee for Best Music and Audio Achievement, the DOOM (Original Game Soundtrack) brings the trademark pulse-pounding and demon-stomping audio experience to fans for the first time on physical disc.Composed by long-time Bethesda collaborator Mick Gordon, his dark and intense vision channels industrial metal to mirror DOOM’s trademark brutal power fantasy gameplay across 31 synth and metal-filled tracks, spanning over two hours of run time.A true passion project, the recording process saw Gordon representing DOOM’s portrayal of Hell through the role of energy in sound production, imparting the physical properties of analogue equipment onto digital sources.To mimic the power of Hell and its curroptive Argent energy, Mick created the “DOOM Instrument”. Consisting of pure sine wave inputs directed into four separate sound processing chains and a variety of post-processing techniques, it allowed Gordon to dynamically ‘corrupt’ generated sounds.Further callbacks to the franchise’s legacy and imagery are found as the soundtrack’s signature screeching guitar lines are layered with the chainsaw audio from the original 1993 title.Doom - Game Original Game Soundtrack LP

The Most Genre-Defining Soundtrack of the '10s Decade
If you know, you know. If not, then all I can say is play Doom, and you'll know. This album is a brilliant amalgamation of death metal, djent, film score, and dark ambient. Gordon's almost ADHD-styled composition is ever-present in this score. There is constant movement in each track, even when the action slows, but rest assured, "business will pick up" (to borrow a quote from Good ol' JR). The sound design and approach is a stroke of brilliance. Everything from custom-made synths to the blended chainsaw and distorted guitars (yes, this is real). Much like "The Matrix" influenced its decade, and the movie "300" influenced cinema; what Cher did for Autotune and hip-hop (for better or worse), Doom continues to influence multimedia to this day.

METALLLL
iD's approach to Doom2016 was moving things forward by taking a step back into the past, and it worked out beautifully. This is especially apparent in the soundtrack, which lifts some of the more memorable old musical cues from the series and folds them into a blend of dark, industrial techno Djent BRVTAL metal that just works. In-game, the soundtrack legitimately makes you feel like an unstoppable death engine that even the legions of Hell are afraid of. It almost seems like it's meant to keep pushing you forward because even though you're fighting freaky-ass hell demons, the music kicks in to remind you that you are Death Incarnate and you. Are. METAL. The OST adds some organization to the soundtrack so that you can listen to it on the go. The whole thing is atmospheric and moody. The standout tracks, in my opinion, are Rip and Tear and BFG Division. I can listen to those two tracks on repeat forever.Get it if you like Metal or Doom. It's awesome.

What's not to love?
It's the Doom (2016) soundtrack. Packaging was great, but the music is fantastic if you liked the game.

A bit skippy
The vinyl looks beautiful. But I have notice that it makes pop sounds frequently. It isn't static, but I think really tiny scratches. Mainly in the very bassy parts (which is most of the record). But it doesn't take the enjoyment of listening to it away that much.
