* [[https://youtu.be/3-hzt98Zqmc Final Sin]], the incredibly oppressive theme that plays during the final battle with the Icon of Sin, combining epic orchestral with the heavy metal choir as the two titans battle, with a faint ticking in the background as if counting down as you face something that is the end of humanity.

* From ''TNT: Evilution'', we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYwZzqXRPSM Sadistic]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Be7ZoJjPoI Death's Bells]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=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://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5duf0obKdD8 its remix]] by [=TheWeekle=] manages to make it epic. [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zFT0We5tKnM Legion of the Lost]], its intermission theme, is probably the most peaceful (and saddest) ''Doom'' track ever made!

* The original ''Plutonia Experiment'' just reused ''Doom'' and ''Doom II'' tracks in its inital release, but a team of devoted fans managed to create an [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gNVltL2aA2k unique soundtrack]] for it. Trigger (2:53) is a slow but hard hitting track with a catchy badass beat; Jade Empire (5:56) is a more laidback albeit cool sounding tune; Seasons of Insanity (14:39) is a rampant thrash metal track that's sure to get your blood pumping; and Plunge Saw (1:25:55) is an awesome rearrangement of Nobody Told Me About Id. Intersection (1:27:48), its intermission track, is more foreboding and determined than ''TNT Evilution'', but nonetheless maintains a soothing feel to it that helps wind you down after a good rip-and-tear session.
* Plutonia 2, its unofficial sequel, [[https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL47A67F4BD22E45E9 too has its own soundtrack]], with standouts such as the rather obviously named [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mAlSOAPMjCc&list=PL47A67F4BD22E45E9&index=6 A Game Score]], with an ''awesome'' drumbeat and ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime'' esque choir. There is also [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BFQQPcE7crQ&list=PL47A67F4BD22E45E9&index=18 I Am Going To Chop Mariah Carey's Head Off With A Chainsaw]][[note]]Yes. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer This is the actual title.]][[/note]] which brings a ''lot'' of Aubrey Hodges vibes in mind with the ominous trumpets and militaristic drums. And for the folks looking for some old classic rock, [[https://youtu.be/1IPlEM4FAhA Come Out Fighting]] has the perfect blend of aggressive drums and killer guitar riffs just for you.

* Andrew Hulshult, the man behind the awesome remixed soundtrack of the ''VideoGame/RiseOfTheTriad'' Reboot, decided to tackle the original ''Doom'' 's soundtrack in his spare time. Behold: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGK1dr-Ql0w IDKFA]]. Like Mick Gordon before him, Andrew would later become a PromotedFanboy and provide some music for ''Doom Eternal'''s DLC.

* If the soundtrack for the first DLC proved Hulshult and Levy to be worthy successors to Mick Gordon's legacy, their tracks for Part Two made them legends in their own right. Case in point: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTAgeOUmX0U&t=37s The World Spear battle theme]], which not only incorporates Hulshult's signature fast-paced chugging guitar riffs, but also features the return of the "Kar en Tuk" chant!
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxQYQLKL6mo Reclaimed Earth]] sounds like the ''VideoGame/Doom2016'' soundtrack on steroids, with some of the heaviest guitar riffs in the whole DLC playing nonstop, and sampling what sounds like a ''raid siren'' at points!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WE9fiPC6Jxw The final boss theme]] of ''The Ancient Gods: Part One'', named [[spoiler:Shady Hayden]], is an absolutely intense EDM theme incorporating multiple choir and some more incredibly heavy metal shreds, oozing semblances of horror, adrenaline and rage. An absolutely brilliant battle theme considering who you are fighting: [[spoiler:the true form of Samuel Hayden himself.]]

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xpoYxrwjLWE Immora]] is ''adrenaline incarnate'', beginning with an amazingly oppressive and climatic opening hook, and maintaining the feel across the entire track. It screams finality right into your ears, with even the infamous "RIP AND TEAR" chanting coming back for one last hurrah, sounding more passionate than ever before.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGZwjMklw60 Doom Hunted]] is one of the combat themes for Doom Hunter Base, essentially an even ''far'' angrier version of Cultist Base. It also winds up being one of the ''absolute'' most intense, chaotic, downright ferocious tracks to ever come from ''Doom''. Insanely fast pace with furious heavy metal shreds and some of the most aggressive and rage-filled synths you might ever hear, it's topped off by occasional ''screaming demonic choir!'' To make the song stand out even further, this is one of the very few tracks that don't have any quieter cooldown periods, meaning that the track is non-stop ferocity from the literal second it begins. If you can only hear one ''Eternal'' song, make it this one.

* "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 [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2x1dVkTdvc Nobody Told Me About Plutonia]] for Plutonia 2 and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWYAue_uxMA I Already Know About Id]] for Plutonia Revisited. The latter is actually a remake of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKaU1krqwTk SNES version]] of "Nobody Told Me About Id", though this doesn't detract from the awesomeness.

* [[https://youtu.be/GMmTrCnCMfI Transistor Fist]] is a fast and vicious track with an ''awesome'' metal riff, and bassy synths booming in your ears even in the cooldown bits. Pay close attention and you'll pick up a badass CallBack to Kitchen Ace And Taking Names!

* [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RnMa_uk8Nk4 Welcome Home Great Slayer]] is the ambient theme for Sentinel Prime, and is unlike ''all'' themes in the game that came before it. Incorporating an incredibly haunting violin and an intense synthesizer, it both sounds tragic and sinister; hammering home how badly Argent D'Nur had fallen, just how '''''evil''''' the Khan Maykr is for enabling its demise, and furthermore sums up the TragicHero that is the Doom Slayer. The Fortress of Doom's ambience is a quieter version of this, making for a chilling and almost villainous background tune.

* The soundtrack for the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Bu5OqJ1T_g Gladiator]] fight is absolutely insane. Amidst the ''heavy'' metal, you can hear the aforementioned choir, who were made to sound like an audience cheering the fight on and calling for blood.[[note]]In fact, the voices in the background are chanting "Kar En Tuk!", which recurs in the soundtrack and is confirmed to be Sentinel/Argenta for [[ArcWords "Rip and Tear!"]] (in fact, they straight-up start chanting "Rip and Tear" in the latter parts of the song)[[/note]] Later on in the song, the choir gets even more fast-paced, as if they were shouting right in your ear!

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yEyGp9oGKc Metal Hell]] is Nekravol's combat theme, immediately slamming into your ears with a hard one-two bass pound; it smashes into ''batshit insane territory'' in only around a minute. With truly sinister and vicious riffs aided by utterly screaming synths and mad guitar shredding, the whole theme oozes passionate rage befitting the City of the Damned, with a consistently bloodthirsty and evil tone that even the other tracks seemed to lack or have less of. The end has a solo guitar riff that simply must be heard to be believed.

** [[https://youtu.be/QmfQp7t0CzE Conclusion]] is a perfect capoff for the original trilogy, being a very dark and sinister take on your typical "heroic triumph" orchestral theme. In the end, the one who saved Earth from Hell was no hero or man - but just something that happened to be worse than them. [[HumansAreWarriors The embodiment of DOOM.]]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2KpA8_zwFs The Blood Swamps.]] The nonstop chugging guitars (courtesy of Andrew Hulshult) nail the grungy, oppressive atmosphere of this level as the Slayer faces some of the most difficult challenges in the entire game. The riff at [[https://youtu.be/o2KpA8_zwFs?t=132 2:12]] in the linked video, in particular, will make you want to smash something's head in.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2KpA8_zwFs The Blood Swamps.]] Particularly the heavy-fighting section, which is just pure butt-chugging, adrenaline-pumping metal. There's a reason why it's one of the most popular tracks in the DLC.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPMVyp7LwIo Facing the Spider (E3M8)]] is the FinalBoss theme of the game, and hot ''damn'' does it sound climatic. It starts with a slow, imposing chord...before jumping right into high gear, going into a fast-paced, intense track that truly befits a final showdown against the Spider Mastermind. While not as iconic as other songs in the game, it's still definitely one of the ''best'' just because of how perfectly fitting the track is.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5m_ndVdA_s The Only Thing They Fear is You]], the combat track for ARC Complex, manages to encapsulate the entire feeling of demon-slaughtering in one song. For bonus points, it plays the heaviest part for [[DemonicSpiders the Marauder]]'s first encounter.

* Getting to the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhEND7JhzWg BFG 10,000]] hits you with immediate, mind-breaking awesome and intense guitar shredding that makes BFG Division from the prior game almost feel like child's play by comparison.
