Nothing beats heavy metal music in video games. These sounds so f**king amazing that I feel like punching the first thing I see and destroy EVERY one of those vile scums I see on the screen. Every demon must DIE! And yes, I am talking about one game, that game...is none other than "Doom". Now, let's get rocking!
Song: At Doom's Gate
From: Doom (2016)
Artist: Mick Gordon
What better way to kick off the pre-reckoning of some demonic ass kicking than this shit? Imagine this song in the perspective of enemies when they stare at this insane marine in power armor that's about to go ape shit and kill every single living thing in sight....it's terrifying. When this song starts to kick in you feel nothing more than a rush of adrenaline that gets you f**king PUMPED to shoot the hell out of some demons! Also, if this isn't badass enough for you, Little V's cover on YouTube still gives me eargasms.
Song: Rip & Tear
From: Doom (2016)
Artist: Mick Gordon
Ah, the classic. I say its classic because this is probably one of the most memorable songs in the game despite being used in one of the game's early stages, because of how BADASS it feels to kill some f**kers with this playing in the background! The dramatic buildup to the eventual metal that ensues is almost a sanctuary to my ears, and the flourishes go so well with gunfire and the death screams of enemies on screen. Even those subtle breaks in the music make the following drops even more satisfying, as you smile and grin to find out that the music isn't over yet. Also, come on, its "Rip & Tear".
Song: Flesh & Metal
From: Doom (2016)
Artist: Mick Gordon
This is one of songs that starts out with a huge bang. I very rarely value techno metal over heavy metal, but I'll take it nicely this time, because "Flesh & Metal" sounds absolutely heavenly. Killing demons to the soundtrack of "Doom" is so easy, and its all the more made easier when "Flesh & Metal" starts playing. While the song itself has some slower moments, the drops, flourishes in the song and guitar make the whole thing an incredibly satisfactory experience. Just try not headbanging to this while you kill demons, its tough.
Song: Burning Hells
From: Doom (2016)
Artist: Mick Gordon
More than anything, this literally sounds like a slow, maddening descent to hell. This starts of menacing and incredibly tense, before slowly bringing us to the all so glorious drop. While this one might not sound as blood rushing or adrenaline inducing as other songs on this post, its still a very strong contender for making me head bang like a maniac as we traverse through hell like a boss.
Song: BFG Division
From: Doom (2016)
Artist: Mick Gordon
The best song in the game, for the best gun in the game, holy Jesus. The BFG is, without a doubt, a freaking powerhouse of a gun, and it deserves ever bit of this theme to back it up. Not only is the track 9 minutes long, but it manages to stay entertaining throughout. The song builds up slowly, as it then proceeds to hammer us with insane techno metal beats that could very well shake the very core of the player as they hold this amazing piece of machinery in their hands. Honestly though, a single shot from this thing ends the battle instantly...so this song being 9 minutes long is nothing more than candy.
