Doom 4: 10 Reasons It'll Be The Best Shooter Of 2016
9. Wolfenstein: The New Order's Composer Is Making The Music
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kur41flzdQBobby Prince was the mastermind behind Doom and Doom II's soundtracks. A large portion of the songs were either inspired, or blatant rip-offs, of bands like Megadeth, Alice In Chains, Metallica...you know, good music. Mick Gordon, composer for Wolfenstein: The New Order (a fine example of how to remake a classic series) will be delivering the goods in this one. Apparently, the team's been using the original Doom soundtrack as a big reference point, which is reassuring to hear; it's an eclectic collection of anarchic Heavy Metal-parody songs and disturbing, ambient tracks for amping the player up or foreboding something nasty on its way...
Gordon's composition for Wolfenstein: The New Order was pretty damn good, offering a predominantly Industrial Metal soundtrack that made you feel like a Nazi-slaying badass with its catchy guitar riffs and powerful beats. He mixed together to emphasize the urgency of each firefight and reconnaissance mission while perfectly capturing the image of the powerful, well-oiled machine that was Nazi Germany through sound alone.
Loud and proud Heavy Metal tracks will blast through the speakers in between the atmospheric songs to really give the game a sense of urgency. At the same time, the slams of the drums, shredded guitars and thumps from the bass will be very motivational. After all, you play as one tough motherf**ker with arms as thick as trees and an assortment of powerful guns on your shoulders. You'll be nodding your head to the slow beats while unleashing a swarm of rockets, or perhaps running and gunning to the urgent sound of delicious guitar solos in the background.
