The game gives you the tools to make you feel like the only entity alive that can terrify the armies of hell. The most formidable, terrifying thing in Doom Eternal is the Doom Slayer himself, not the hordes of demons that lay at his feet. In this case, “BFG-10000”-like many other heavy fighting songs on Doom Eternal’s soundtrack-make the Doom Slayer sound like the ultimate boss of his own video game.Īt its core, that pure, unadulterated feeling of being in control of the carnage is what this soundtrack accomplishes best. ![]() If the song came on during a final boss fight, it’d be a terrifying signal of how big of a challenge that boss will be. It dives deep into thrash-metal territory with a simple yet high-tempo riff that commands attention, much like the Doom Slayer does every time he walks into a room. You’ll slaughter waves of demons while heading toward the planet-busting cannon, and in this moment, “BFG-10000” plays. How? By commandeering a big, effing gun on one of Mars’ moons and doing things his own way. After Hayden tells the Doom Slayer that he can’t just shoot a hole through Mars, the Doom Slayer prepares to shoot a hole through Mars. When it comes to characterizing the Doom Slayer’s dauntless confidence, few moments can top the segment when “BFG-10000” kicks in. A perfect song to illustrate that electrifying change is “The Only Thing They Fear is You.” Aside from having an absolutely badass name, this song provides the perfect accompaniment for those moments when you’re cleaning up an arena full of demons. When the octane lets loose, everything gets cranked up to 11. It’s itching and ready to go, much like the Doom Slayer’s trigger finger. However, the tone of everything, especially the guitars, are muted and subdued, as if waiting to be unleashed. ![]() To be clear, these may be the “palate-cleansing,” ambient valleys amid Doom Eternal’s many peaks, but don’t expect any lo-fi chill beats to study and relax to. Songs like “Hell on Earth” and “ARC Complex” build the suspense and tension before the high-octane action kicks in. Even the quiet moments between the arenas often have some heavy yet ambient music playing underneath. ![]() Nearly every moment throughout the game’s campaign is underscored by the sound of hell itself. Doom Eternal has so many standout tracks that it’s almost ridiculous.
