Doom: The Dark Ages Reveal Trailer Rescore

For this rescore, I spent some time breaking down how the music for this franchise is normally put together, particularly with the recent DOOM titles. A large part of the sound comes from synths as well as atmospheric sound design. The metal stuff that we all know and love is then put together on top of that solid foundation.

Taking that process, I focused on creating a really strong and moody opening with lots of reverb. This was blended with big orchestral drums to emphasise the medieval aesthetic of the game - which makes for a cool contrast. When the doomslayer entered the picture I started to weave in some building guitar riff, which kicks in properly once the action starts.

I came up with a few strong metal riffs that work as a catchy hook, trying to align with the rich history of memorable melodies in this series.
