This article is about the original Doom music. For the 2016 game, see Doom (Original Game Soundtrack).
All of Doom's music was composed by Robert Prince. The new episode added in The Ultimate Doom did not add any new tracks and only used songs from the first three episodes.
Contents
Track listing
Notes
- ↑ The inspiration behind E1M1 - At Doom's Gate has historically been a long-standing issue of discussion and contention among Doom's fanbase. Tracks by bands such as Metallica or Pantera have been suggested as sources, but there is no conclusive evidence that supports any particular track. The track itself is based around a generic heavy metal riff, meaning that it sounds similar to many different heavy metal songs. In a 2017 interview, Bobby Prince clarified that it was not inspired by any one song, and was written before having listened to any heavy metal music [1].
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 The inspirations for the tracks noted above are substantiated by metadata comments found in the unreleased MIDI tracks (archived 🏛) released by John Romero, many of which are alternate versions of the MIDI tracks used in Doom. See the article: Musical inspirations behind Doom's music.
- ↑ The Doom IWAD file includes two title screen MUS lumps, d_intro and d_introa. The latter is used when using OPL MIDI playback (ie. on an Adlib or Soundblaster card).
