The Dark Age of DOOM's Soundtrack

May 16, 2025

Currently playing DOOM: The Dark Ages on another platform. I’m still early in, but I’m already enjoying the gameplay far more than Eternal. The new cinematic approach is a great touch, too

That said, the music is a major letdown—completely unmemorable and flat. It feels like they traded chainsaws for spreadsheets. Mick Gordon’s absence is painfully obvious, and the uninspired work by the rookie composers they brought in makes it impossible to fully enjoy this new DOOM. It’s a real shame.
