History AwesomeMusic / DOOM

** [[VideoGame/ShadowWarrior Lo Wang's]] reveal trailer used the swell mix between oriental music and rock that is [[https://youtu.be/fibnZC0bxNc "Main Theme Remake"]] by Konstantin "Kerranswell" Tsikolenko.

* Doom Metal. No, not DoomMetal, this is a bunch of [[https://youtu.be/k5KpJ9Gazk0 remixed]] tracks, and ''they are awesome''.

* Website/YouTube user [=MyNewSoundtrack=] managed to remix "Nobody Told Me About Id", "At Doom's Gate", "Hiding the Secrets", and "I Sawed the Demons" in the style of ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', and with how [[AwesomeMusic/MegaMan awesome the music that franchise is]], [[https://youtu.be/YiyEKq63Y0Q it is as glorious as it sounds]].
* Behold, [[https://youtu.be/3xF5J-LAjBk&t=544s "MEGALOVANIA" in the Style of "Doom E1M1"]]. It's [[WeirdCrossover surprisingly]] [[CrazyEnoughToWork catchy]].
* This [[https://youtu.be/HfDDgekcoS8 medieval remix]] of BFG Division retains the intensity of the original while making it sound even more demonic.
** On the topic of medieval remixes, [[https://youtu.be/A8LUfCxpY5w this amazing rendition]] of "The Only Thing They Fear is You".

* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFT0We5tKnM&list=PL3B430FD7AA77426E&index=16 "Legion of the Lost"]], the intermission theme from ''TNT Evilution'', also used in [=MAP31=] ("Pharaoh"), is in a class by itself. The somber piano in the opening gives the impression of a brief respite from the horrors you just braved. Brief indeed, because soon an ominous bell begins to toll and then the full instrumental backing kicks in, turning the melody from melancholically hopeful to bitterly hopeless; a mournful, despairing rumination on how no matter how tired you've become of the endless fighting, your struggle against the forces of Hell is destined to continue on and on, with no end in sight. It's the closest thing to a TearJerker on an official ''DOOM'' soundtrack since "Sign of Evil".

* ''Doom 64'' may not have much in the way of rocking tunes (only the opening and ending themes could be considered traditional music), but what it does have is an incredibly creepy and atmospheric ambiance that really helps set it as the most Survival Horror-y game in the series until ''Doom 3'' came along (especially when you reach Hell). [[https://aubreyhodges.bandcamp.com/track/the-rotted-foul-level-breakdown Here's one of the creepier stage themes]] if you need an example.

* From ''TNT: Evilution'', we have [[https://youtu.be/cYwZzqXRPSM Sadistic]], [[https://youtu.be/0Be7ZoJjPoI Death's Bells]] and [[https://youtu.be/nF8jztAHVA8 Into The Beast's Belly]]. The music from [=MAP14=] (Steel Works) may not be the best song ever (mainly because it's a short, cool-sounding riff surrounded by several minutes of dull bass), but [[https://youtu.be/5duf0obKdD8 its remix]] by [=TheWeekle=] manages to make it epic. [[https://youtu.be/zFT0We5tKnM Legion of the Lost]], its intermission theme, is probably the most peaceful (and saddest) ''Doom'' track ever made!

* [[https://youtu.be/BSsfjHCFosw At Doom's Gate]], a simple, effective, and powerful fast-tempo track, great for starting off your day at UAC with filling a zombie's face with pistol lead. It has also [[BootstrappedTheme become synonymous with the series in general]]. Not bad for a Music/{{Metallica}} influence.
** In fact this track noticeably similar to the intro to their 1986 single Master Of Puppets, with both starting on E minor and walking down the scale from there.

* [[https://youtu.be/WbhwHXKZDeA Sinister]] fully lives up to its title - quite possibly the most oppressive track in the game, this is ''not'' the music you want to hear when prowling the dark, gloomy labyrinth of this level, being caught out of nowhere by a Baron of Hell suddenly jumping out in front of you. The UsefulNotes/SuperNintendo [[https://youtu.be/xg6p9I5xU_A mix of the track]] also captures the sense of tension while delivering its own take on the track.

* The music from the [[UsefulNotes/ThreeDOInteractiveMultiplayer 3DO]] port of Doom deserves a mention. While the 3DO port itself is universally considered [[PortingDisaster one of the worst Doom ports out there due to framerate and other issues]], it's also universally agreed that it has the best ''music'' of any port, even putting the music of the original PC port to shame. A couple of good examples are the 3DO renditions of [[https://youtu.be/EhadJjiBF2I At Doom's Gate]] and [[https://youtu.be/0O8uBl0_PKQ The Imp's Song]].
* While completely different from the original score, the UsefulNotes/PlayStation version's soundtrack (composed by Aubrey Hodges, who also scored ''VideoGame/Doom64'') is worthy of praise in its own right. Jettisoning the predominant heavy metal vibe of the original, the new score is more ambient and ominous, focuses entirely on building up immersion and suspense, and makes ''Doom'' feel even more like a horror game. [[HellIsThatNoise And it]] [[NightmareFuel works]]. In addition to the menu theme below, check out [[https://aubreyhodges.bandcamp.com/track/retribution-dawns-level-hangar Hangar]], [[https://aubreyhodges.bandcamp.com/track/the-broken-ones-level-plant Plant]] and [[https://aubreyhodges.bandcamp.com/track/sanitys-edge-level-toxin-refinery Toxin Refinery]] for a good sampler.

* [[https://youtu.be/S_6ChXTP9TA Episode 2, Mission 9]] (or E-3, M-1 if you never found Episode 2's secret level) literally called "Untitled." Yeah, it's a ripoff of a Music/{{Pantera}} song, but it doesn't matter. That riff. Kicks. ASS! If [=E3M1=] is your first encounter of it, it also perfectly captures the feeling of being stuck stranded in Hell itself, with your only hope of escape being to mow down every demon in your way until you eventually find a way out.

* ''Sunder'''s [=MAP32=] music, [[https://youtu.be/a7uic6Nk26c&t=32s "Aorta"]], a fantastic, gloomy and oppressive tune. It was originally composed for ''Panophobia'', an in-progress mod themed around phobias and fear, and it fits the "fear" atmosphere very well.

** In this same OST, Danny Lewis (aka Technoman) made [[https://aubreyhodges.bandcamp.com/track/club-doom a speedcore theme for the secret level "Club Doom"]] which sets the mood for slaying demons in a dance club.
