History AwesomeMusic / DOOM

* While completely different from the original score, the PlayStation version's soundtrack (composed by Aubrey Hodges, who also scored ''Doom 64'') 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 above, check out [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GV5UnANIj3c Hangar]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0q68FwPVWY Plant]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIBf1Mgf2CQ Toxin Refinery]] for a good sampler.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNmA4f50xCI Map 25, Another Fine Mess]]. Ever wondered what would [[Music/MichaelJackson Thriller]] sounds like if it was remixed modernly and with beeps properly? This is the result.

* ''STRAIN'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Urn6OLzQ-o "TechnoDoom"]], a fast-paced dynamic song. Composed by the same guy who composed the music on ''Requiem''. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GqFosFiFhk "Promenade"]], which has a bit from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qURei6svd90 "Running from Evil"]] from the original ''Doom II'', and it gets pleasingly melodic in the middle.
* ''Memento Mori II'': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqq6OWa8ZHs "Give In (With Pressure)"]], a great relaxing upbeat tune. The same description goes with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifBsQI3IYmY "Nothing So Cruel"]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFwW4_FqHa0 "Backroad Wanderer]].

Composed by the same guy who composed the music on ''Requiem'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GqFosFiFhk "Promenade"]], which has a similar intro from Running from Evil from the original ''Doom II'', and it gets pleasingly melodic in the middle.

* ''Valiant'': [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9eBZa5owVM "Sunset Over Babylon"]], a mysterious-sounding, exotic, grim tune; and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl7cfJN0IlI "Dark Angel"]].

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9gRVXtQ1PI Map 12, Hydroponics]]. The demons really ruined Icarus. The song tells you that you should make them pay for that! You can hear some parts that will make you think of space. Yeah, Doomguy has been into space but not that far away. You're actually near [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta_Pictoris Beta Pictoris]].

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3S6bbUori8 Rage]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib72f6TDRuA Lordly Might]]. plays on the tenth map to amp you up, which is helpful because before the end of the level you will have your first showdown with a Cyberdemon.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Q0bBOUluV0 Mesmarine]]. Plays at the intermission screen, on the first secret level and on the thirteenth map. And the thirteenth map has plenty of monster ambush spots. Which fits. Even moreso if you're playing at the highest difficulty.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJnoQ5NMkl8 Recapture]]. really sets up the mood for the first stage, and retaking back a shuttle so you can use it to travel towards the eponymous space ship. And at the end you can hear [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffl2ShaWyGM The Demon's Dead]] from Doom II.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPh0Q8_oUpc Map 04: Engineering]]. Gives off a perfect sci-fi feel. And the feeling of unfamiliarity, since you're millions away from your home planet.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zj90rXeh8k Map 10: Slow Evil]]. Slow as the title says, but still great enough for firing through hordes of demons.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3suPTiM3SG8 Map 11: Feeding Frenzy]]. this map has lots of enemies, and the tendency to encounter hiding chaingunners and other monsters around the corner makes this map frantic as hell (pun intended). But thanks to this song, you can turn that frantic feeling into a helpful rage.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1oefjJmp2QU Map 32: Prestidigitation]]. A nice short relaxing jazz music for a short easy stage. (the stage has more goodies than enemies. And the enemies and their placements aren't that hard)

* Doom Metal. No, not DoomMetal, this is a bunch of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5KpJ9Gazk0 remixed]] tracks, and hearing them is like getting into a five way with SarahMichelleGellar, AlysonHannigan, Creator/ElizaDushku, and SummerGlau in their prime (or Creator/BenedictCumberbatch, Creator/DavidTennant, Tom Hiddleston, Chris Evans, and Patrick Stewart, depending on your fancy). It. Is. That. Good.

* The ''Doom 3'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ysDV9POBXE heavy theme]]. Reason being that besides the startup, you'll only ever hear it again when you're victorious, and almost invariably at the end of any ''Doom 3'' mod episode too. It's sort of like an awesome music of crowning.

* Four letters: ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''. Check out [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYVX6b9svuE Sign of Evil]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iIrg4DM078 Nobody Told Me About Id]], and from Doom II: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbh3ZYuTBDY Opening to Hell]] or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veJp8Qjcymo Evil Incarnate]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkhCNx-8Qos Into Sandy's City]], anyone?

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQs48dvebck Hangarmageddon]] is an awesome version of it. And whilst we're on the subject, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLEfBVMga0I the Playstation version intro]], whilst the title rises slowly from a sea of flames, can send shivers up your spine.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v7cFGneuaw ZX Spectrum]] home port makes you wish you had that music on original version.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4HEJdTH50s Message For The Archvile]], especially the guitar solo at 3:33.

* From TNT/Evilution, we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYwZzqXRPSM Sadistic]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Be7ZoJjPoI Death's Bells.]]
** 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 [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5duf0obKdD8 its remix]] by [=TheWeekle=] manages to make it epic.
* "Nobody Told Me About Id" is so good, it was used for the super secret level of The Plutonia Experiment and gets a new remix for every community-made sequel for it. So far we have [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2x1dVkTdvc Nobody Told Me About Plutonia]] for Plutonia 2 and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWYAue_uxMA I Already Know About Id]] for Plutonia Revisited. The latter is actually a remake of the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKaU1krqwTk SNES version]] of "Nobody Told Me About Id", though this doesn't detract from the awesomeness.

* ''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). [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsZP80NKbBA Here's one of the creepier stage themes]] if you need an example.

* The music from the [[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 good examples are the 3DO renditions of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhadJjiBF2I At Doom's Gate]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0O8uBl0_PKQ The Imp's Song]].
