DOOM ETERNAL: Composer Mick Gordon May Not Work With Bethesda Any More On Account Of Creative Differences

Over the weekend we got the great news that DOOM Eternal's soundtrack had just been released for Collector's Edition owners; giving fans the chance to listen Mick Gordon's head-banging soundtrack at their leisure. Some fans, however, noticed something rather odd.

Twitter user @thatACDCguy noticed that the wavelengths in DOOM(2016)'s soundtrack — the BFG Division tune, to be more precise — were different when compared to the song's remix in DOOM Eternal. For many, this will go unnoticed, but those with a keen ear will be able to spot the difference.

DOOM Eternal composer Mick Gordon commented on this thread, revealing that he didn't actually mix those, and that he would'nt have done it like that any way. In fact, he even mentions that tracks like Meathook, Command, and Control are all him, but most of the other tracks in the game's soundtrack aren't.

This is particularly disappointing, considering just how much effort went into DOOM Eternal's soundtrack as a whole, but there's more — as Reddit user u/MedicalMilk1 claims to have spoken to Gordon, and that he revealed that he doubts he'll work with Bethesda again; definitely heartbreaking news, if true.

PC Gamer reached out to Mick Gordon about this whole debacle, and Gordon said that "I take a lot of pride in my work. It’s all I do, it’s all I have and I pour my heart and soul into it," while also adding that he still doesn't understand the situation, and has no more comments for the time being.

DOOM Eternal puts you in control of the DOOM Slayer as you blow apart new and classic demons with powerful weapons in unbelievable and never-before-seen worlds. Experience the ultimate combination of speed and power as you rip and tear your way across dimensions with the next leap in push-forward, first-person combat.

DOOM Eternal is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Nintendo Switch version expected to release soon.
