The occasional percussion (cowbell, triangle) gives it a neat effect. The string section over the top of that compliment it very nicely. The strings are cool, but the main riff string thing is very dissonant, it sounds great. It is heavily minor, with lots of things going on at once. But, when playing the game, it suits the mood very nicely. Unfortunately, it stays pretty samey the entire song, so it gets pretty boring just listening to it. There's another bit, with a kind of music box thing cranking, which is cool as well. Some strings come in, accompanying the bass groove quite nicely. This is somewhat relaxed from the previous song, it starts off pretty simply, with a cool little bass groove, and some hits on the hi hat. This is the ultimate in mood setting, you can almost picture yourself there. Then it erupts into the well known riff, of synths, bass and drums. It starts off pretty quietly with bass, and comes in with hi hats. So it gets a 0/5, because it sucks.Īhh, the infamous MAP01. I have no idea what/where this is in the game. Anyway, some nice slap bass and strings in this one. This is the track you get when you open the game up. And for the very first time ever, I will give tracks a rating!!! Yeah. Since I don't know the real names of the tracks, I will refer to them as in the download. It ranges from full out metal (the unforgettable Map01) to spooky, almost ambient style themes (Map05).

As previously mentioned, there are some awesome tracks on here. 18 of those tracks are made up of levels (some leves use the same theme) one of those themes is when you complete the game, one is for that theme you get when you open the game, and there is a short 15 second one that I have no idea where it came from.

There are 21 tracks available for download (for source of download, see end of page). Rarely you find music more suiting to the mood that in this game. The producers apparantly wanted a more metal sound than Doom, but he opted for a moodier approach. They are all MIDI files, but some of the best MIDI's this reviewer has ever heard. As you can see, it is composed by Robert Prince, who did other games for id software, such as Wolfenstein, and Duke Nukem. Seeing a thread about Doom in Rock and Metal, I thought I'd type up a quick review of this awesome soundtrack.
