Hello, I am VEGA, the sentient nightclub assigned to mars
I *LOVE* the idea Of a nightclub on Mars named Vega. 😍
the sentient *demon* nightclub
gotta find a way to get that demon pussy
My core runs on 3 terawatts of pure *b a s s* energy
(Why did i read this in baymax's voice from Big Hero 6?)
*Local man burns hell itself* *Witnesses say he's aggressively dancing and emitting bass*
This will forever be my favorite comment on Vega Core, good sir! Surprised I'm only just now telling you after the new Eternal trailer sent me on a binge of violent gospel.
Not yet. I still need to take lessons.
do the DOOM dance or you're dead
*emitting bass* _EMITTING BASS_
*does maccarena with hateful intent*
ahh.... this is my favorite musical style *VIOLENCE*
pog
I prefer Ultra Violence
@@OneManCrusade I prefer Ultra Nightmare

"I can not self-terminate, so this party will never stop."
Thank you, Vega.
carmen, you're welcome :'D

Wait really? I didn't notice since i was too busy getting my ears destroyed.
50G/Silver Trophy A cookie You notice the little things in life...
Does this track play when you in vega?
Deepak Narayan yes
@@deepaknarayan3713 duh
Son: "Dad can you tell me a story?" Dad: "In the first age... In the first battle..."
"when the shadows first lengthened, one stood..."
"...he chose the path of perpetual torment..."
Oshit Doomguy's gonna be the next bedside fairy tale
"In his ravenous hatred, he found no peace..."
"And with boiling blood, he scoured the Umbral Plains, seeking vengeance against the Dark Lords who had wronged him."
The further you get in the game, the more distorted the music gets. First level: You shoot down 3 demons at a time with your shotgun Final levels: You fight every special demon at once with your entire arsenal.
The Burned Man it reflects the state of your mind and your sanity as the arenas get harder and crazier.
Yes I too have watched the Raycevick's video.
@@Skyhawk1998 It also reflects in a way about Doomslayer's unmatchable bloodlust for the demons.
playing Argent D'anur in Ultra nightmare is horrible, I literally resorted to punching imps because I had run out of all ammunition, used my BFG and Chainsaw to barely avoid dying.
@@ym-xx6kj when in doubt, punch an imp? Would that be an imp slap?
BREAKING NEWS: *LOCAL ANCIENT DEMON SLAYER TOO ANGRY TO DIE, WITNESS DEMON WAS QUOTED SAYING: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
Don't forget the Imp that ran away shouting FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
Lmao i think of that man that hit his head on a chandelier and was like: *FUUUUUUCK*
Ahhh i miss the og revenant scream from doom 2 hell on earth
@@katherinestirling2440 Hahaha. Tourette’s guy.
He was probably sayin “mama please help me”
i love the raw power in this song. how its like an AI yelling and screaming in anger.
McSuto BigDongle I fucking love it, it sounds so damn angry.
I was thinking more like a paper jam on a printer but okay.
McSuto Sounds like a flesh and metal sounds :)
It's Cyberdoomguy
When you kill the cyberdemon
Kind of sounds like someone has an automatic fire mod for the BFG 9000....

So... the BFG 10K from QUAKE
now that would be a fun toy

Shawn S. That's just basic self preservation. They would have been fucked otherwise.
I think your speakers are- Well y'know
Rip you got a limiter on your speaker... Absolute cancer >_
I really love that at 1:09 the beat sounds like a heartbeat; VEGA's heartbeat.
He should check that arrhythmia
@@Aerodumb fr
imagine AMD use this soundtrack for their Vega gpu launch...
Selipar Jepun that would be Fate-levels perfect
two months later, AMD Vega launch is completely horrendous. It wasn't meant to be
Only if they make the AMD GPUs blow up the Nvidia GPUs while making cool destruction sounds.
There's no market for fast huge GPUs. Mid end fast is where the market is
@@josiahcachola8214 Vega was great, beats out a GTX 1080 with undervolting. Only reasons it got flak from reviewers were the inflated price due to mining and the odd optimization(it's a card for tinkerers). I had a Vega 64, long story short I broke it while water-cooling it and changed to a 1080 Ti. I honestly miss the Vega, I've been so tempted to buy another Vega 64 for my secondary Node 202 rig. And think about it: Vega 64 is a bulky-ass card with crazy cooling. There's literally a Doom level dedicated to destroying the insanely advanced cooling system Vega used. So cool.
This song has it all: 1:05 for nostalgia 3:39 for kickass demonslaying And the rest is equally as metal and badass
Taz Shadewind is 1:05 supposed to be mouth for war?
SpartanOnyx No, that is a remake of Bobby Prince's Hell Keep
Taz Shadewind so it is then. Sorry I should've said hell keep. Didn't remember the name. Hell keep is a cover of mouth for war.
SpartanOnyx Oh well then yes. I know that it's a Pantera song I just didn't remember. All of these tracks are badass nonetheless
Taz Shadewind I was wondering because I believe the 2016 soundtrack has 2 other mouth for war throwbacks somewhere in it. Didn't expect me to run into a third one!
I have a friend with a pristine set of speakers, ripe for a party... not for long.
Same
"Grandpa why do you have hearing aids?" "well Billy it all began... In the first age... In the first battle"
"....when the shadows first lengthened, one stood..."
"he chose the path of perpetual torment.."
TheLazyOne “in his ravenous hatred, he found no peace...”
Half Baked "and with boiling blood...he scoured the umbral plains...seeking vengeance....against the dark lords...who had robbed him"
He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him... the Doom Slayer.
When you start Doom: Badass riffs. When you end doom: Literally nothing but abstract distorted noise in compound time. Fuckin YASSSS
well, all OSTs in every game or movie are very contextual.
+angeltensey meaning this guy is good enough to get crechentos more offten than not
The soundtrack supposed to escalate as the game goes on. Even at different moments, depending on the situation, the riffs to certain songs just play in a different order. It's all meant to fit the atmosphere and progression.
For some reason I believe this track is part of a new genre, called Vega Core.
Boris Almishev rule #1 of music. If it has "core" in the name, it is automatically bad. This song is the one and only exception.
@@LordofDiamondsMetal what about ''Nightcore'' ?
@Daniel Cannata Someone's forgetting technical deathcore
@@acousticramen BAD! *Smack* Bad chicken! "Tech-Death" will suffice. Beyond Creation Rings Of Saturn As 2 excellent examples.

Ah. The "Kill your speakers" song. Awesome stuff Mick x)
killin demons just wasnt enough.
I see that you're a man of culture as well.
XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Idk what you're talking about. Blasted this on full volume, and my soundbar and subwoofer were fine. XD I love this song. The sound is just so raw. And I love raw sounds.
Nah. I think that honor belongs to Mastermind.
Me: *blasts aggressive DooM music* KZhead ad: " you clearly want to play Spyro on nintendo switch"
well at least it got some flames right... right? Or maybe we should imagine some kind of demonic Spyro, and the Doom Slayer riding it, destroying everythin in their path
The ad was like "Hey we see you have impeccable taste. Here's another great game you might enjoy."
All I get are anti vape ads that I can’t skip either way which is annoying
You clearly want *yogurt*
You guys get ads?
VEGA honestly deserved better but at least he got a theme that reflects what a badass it takes to make the sacrifice he did. God, this entire soundtrack is brilliant and it's one of those things that I wish I got into earlier before a hundred videos picked it apart in more detail than I ever could. Badass work, Mick.
Asriel809 A salute to the VEGA program. o7
The Doom Slayer made a backup of Vega before shutting him down. Hopefully we see him back in DOOM Eternal
I think in Doom eternal he’ll basically be Cortana but for Doom
MattLuke 842 That’d be great
I know right
this song has a whole new feeling after vega's last line in eternal...
Yeah I loved that ending, there are many possibilities on how the story will continue

Spoiler for Eternal: I now want a bossfight with the Father that plays a "holy" but still just as heavy remix of Vega Core.
@@RacingSnails64 And the final phase has notes from "idkill.vega".
I remember playing Doom for the first time and having to pause it because I was not expecting that drop at 1:36. Doom has one of the best soundtracks hands down. First game to have made me do such a thing.
13 beat meter in the beginning with "heartbeat" rhythm pattern :D 1,2,3, 1,2,3, 1,2,3, 1,2,3,4 The symbolism is strong in this music :D
:)
Could someone please explain this to me? I am hungry for knowledge and Google wont yield any results.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre_(music) At 0:15, you can hear the bass and kickdrum sounding off like it's a heartbeat: thump-thump-rest, thump-thump-rest, thump-thump-rest, thump-thump-rest-rest. Each thump and rest is one beat inside a measure. If you count all beats in the measure together, it makes a number 13. And that's what "13 beat meter with heartbeat pattern" means.
Thank you.
I'm not an audiophile but it sounds like a 1,2 beat to me? What am I missing? :)
bass boosts my headset plays this rip my ears
Trevor Wagner This isnt something to be bass boosted :/ Treble is the main thing here.
+Ted Scrub BUT BASS MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER SORRY ITS IN ALL CAPS BUT IM LISTENING TO THE SONG AS I TYPE SO IT JUST FEELS MORE NATURAL
Your eardrums went in a blaze of glory!
Trevor Wagner 3:30 and 3:52 that sharp sound :)
It sacrificed itself to help Doomguy.
I would've done that too
LazarheaD Doomguy did make a backup and he took the chip containing him, so he could very well be in the sequel
my favorite thing is that wasn't even mandatory to Hayden's plan and such, Doomguy got the backup just because. What a friggin nice guy.
Doomslayer doesn't wants for those who are innocent to suffer because of other's actions, including his own.
+Bite the Dust! Doomguy doesn't give a shit about Hayden's plans. That's why he destroyed the energy filters. Doomguy only worked with Hayden because he didn't have much a choice since he needed a way to Hell and back, and their goals of exterminating the demons aligned at the time. Doomguy probably saved Vega because he realized Vega wasn't blindly loyal to Hayden and actually had humanity's best interest at heart, as opposed to Hayden who only wanted the Argent energy at any cost.
Dark Souls: You're trapped in a room with demons. Doom: Demons are trapped in a room with you.
doom eternal: walls broke doom eternal: ancient gods part 1:demons are trapped in a universe with you
Lol

Doom feels pretty much like a long and interactive music video for Mick's music
Your ears will get destroyed but in a good way
Never in my life has bass like this slammed against my eardrums in such a rythmic yet discernable manner.
Shit hit so hard it cured my constipation
Doom in a nut plot: the goal of our work is to harness Argen- could u stop killing every thing for a few seconds. Doom guy looks at u confused then proceds to slice and dice a baron of hell
*nut plot*
I just learnt a new word 'nut-plot'. Fans of an epic game are epic.
“...Why are you here?...” (Cut by chainsaw.)
this is the music i listen to when i want to press my emotions into the deepest darkest recess of my mind
Except the emotion of badass
Had a conflict with a co-worker today ... this indeed helps
Mick: "So how much bass do you want?" ID Devs: "Yes."
I mean BFG is amazing, but god damn this is underrated
Mick Gordon, you sir are a musical genius.
hes literally Jesus
@@ReSpark141He is god
Note: For this song, turn your subwoofers ALLL the way up, aim them in the general direction of your ears, close your eyes.... and enjoy.

...while you can...
Mickas Vellus enjoy the sweet embrace of your brain liquefying and seeping our of your ears.
Screw that! Put your speakers on your porch towards a douchebag neighbor and crank it! ;)
say hello to tinnitus
I literally hurt myself headbanging to this. I woke up and used this song to get my day going, but after about 30 minutes some pain started to set in my neck. Now i'm laid up in bed all day. Oh well, MORE LISTENING TO THIS SONG!
shit are you ok?
@@kisamano3684 Thank you for checking in on me 6 years later lol. I was not ok that day, but I got better the next day. I still love this song, and I'm still headbanging to music whenever I hear a banger!
@@zdhome5727 glad to hear that! I've always had a fear of injuring my neck while headbanging
@@kisamano3684When you head bang, try to distribute the motion across your whole back, and even a bit of hip hinge. Try to make sure there isn't just one spot that is doing all the snapping-back-and-forth, or you will hurt that spot. And finally, dont headbang too hard at home. Save the neck injuries for the live shows!
@@zdhome5727 whoa that makes a lot of sense! Thanks for the tip!
"Listening at high volume for long periods may damage your hearing. Are you sure you still want to turn up the volume?" My ears: "It's ok if it's VEGA Core." Me turning up my volume to the max: 1:36
Probably one of the best game soundtracks ever ! Totally nailed the Doom feeling in it !
Probably one of my most favourite missions in the game. The music really amplifies the whole battle vibe.
Thanks Mick, now my whole neighborhood is a crater.
Me: My subwoofer: *end my suffering*
POV: you turned your sub buffer into a weapon of mass destruction
The only way I see music being used as a weapon is If this song plays
I need new ears
GothicTech why
GothicTech lol
Human ears sucks
I believe I have entered a state in which I am now fully able to experience this masterpiece of a soundtrack. By ascending into the beyond of course.
Literally the craziest music I've ever heard. rip people who turned up their speakers high
Celebrate their choice, instead of mourning their loss my friend
1:08 Hell Keep!!!
So incredibly calming music while playing stardew valley
Nice bass! *speakers go full volume* *explodes*
Just listen to that really silent noise on 7:30 before the music starts again. Holy Vega that's frickin' amazing
Damn. That's a lot of bass. It's sick, but my tv can't take it.
One of the most underrated songs in all of the DOOM Games.
I like how when you encounter first demon will be like "Damn, how they move so fast?" Then after in late game, you will realised, they aren't moving, they are running. *RUNNING FROM YOU. THE SLAYER.*
Me destroying VEGA in Doom 2016: Ok it’s just a stupid ai that got no character development and also we take his backup data with us so he’s not really dead Me leaving VEGA behind in Doom Eternal: No I don’t wanna leave him behind he was my best friend Me playing The Ancient Gods Part 1: :)
Honestly I preferred that vega wasn't god. I just wanted doomguy and vega fighting demons in hell for an eternity together as best friends.
@@heatyeet6538 VEGA being The Father kind of is fighting the demons. He just couldn't bring himself to kill Davoth.
@@tlfearofthedarkhun387 yeah, I guess. I always miss vega talking to us through the coms and understanding exactly what we want to do, and how doomguy thinks.
@@heatyeet6538 "I understand. Tracing the coordinates for the BFG 10K"
@@tlfearofthedarkhun387 oh well that aged poorly
This is what you get when Godzilla eating a nuke to boost his strength and then emitting powerful radioactive blasts to burn King Gidorah to death was converted into music
For some reason this always felt like a heart beat. I felt the bass in my chest.
Still my Favorite out of all the Doom Soundtracks.
I'm surprised nobody is pointing out 7:00....that little section sounds awfully familiar. Like I'm going into Sandy's City......Doom 2 anyone?
TheJack i noticed!!! too bad not that much did
I noticed it too!
Idk The first DOOM game I got was the VR one
I just noticed that and was hoping i wasnt alone
@@TMLJester I would highly recommend the originals. You are in for a very fun time. Doom 2 map 9 is where the song I'm referencing plays.
Mick Gordon: "how much base do you want" ID software: "yes"
bass + bass x bass2 = vega core?
wadup m8 then theres bass^^bass (Arrow notation. Courtesy of Don Kuth.)
Me: blasting heavily distorted metal KZhead ads: here, have some cereal
How is this not the most popular song by Mick in Spotify? Absolute fire!
BFG Division and Rip & Tear exist.
They should have put more emphasis on Gordon's music in this game. Most of these brilliant soundtracks are so hard to hear during gameplay, and the best parts are not even used.
then change up the volume settings
randomguy6679 that's not the issue, i'm saying the best parts of the soundtrack aren't used throughout the game.
He may have written them after to tie the parts of each song together for an album release.
In game soundtracks are usually different to releases like this. Game soundtracks are usually built around the game, where as final releases like this, are mixed for the tracks themselves.
Official game OST's are more or less "directors cuts"
This song is just VEGA's hearbeat
is it bad that i bought the entire game to listen to this sick soundtrack?
NO.
I did
This OST to this day is still my alltime favourite. Eternal OST held nothing to this one. This songs bass-drops, my god the goosebumps it gives me.
The songs from doom eternal are just as good, it was really bethesdas fault that the OST wasn't properly mixed
@@markener4316not the mixing just the songs in general he means
@@baldi-gamr-453 both were great imo
@@markener4316 imo i think eternals soundtrack was good, but i think 2016s soundtrack was godly
Theory: DoomSlayer hears all of the music from his battles in his head, giving him one Hell of a headache (heh) hence why he is always angry.
If he can hear the music I think it would make him stronger
In DOOM Eternal he has a file on his computer called *Rip and tear mix.* It's a fun little easter egg that insinuates the games OST is what Doomguy listens to while slaying demons.
he has constant tinnitus from all of the gunfire that he has to do which is why he is pissed with the demons because he has to shoot them
1:08 best.beat drop.EVER.
for some reason i have a mental image of mick just repeatedly slamming his entire body into his recording equipment
My favourite track in the entire game....
Micky-senpai! I know that the Soundtrack has already been released on Spotify and other places, and that there's a full video with the Soundtrack already on KZhead, but are you going to upload the rest of the individual tracks on your channel too? IMO these videos with the gameplay/guitar visuals are vastly superior to the other versions!
Most of the ones on KZhead are game-rips anyway.
"So industrial it brought Detroit back." - One of the most liked comments in the gone CapitalCorn's upload.
Brutal, every sound is like a punch in the jaw
You deserve at least hundred times more followers!
Sheep Ewe he deserves a cult :D
1:34 best part of the song
I like to think that the Doom Slayer just blasts the music from his helmet, and that's why all the demons always know your location, they can hear you blaring the soundtrack.
Every time I try and visualise this track ... I just think We're the ball in the pinball machine being go forcibly moved around with and bouncing on all the obstacles faster and more brutally as the song keeps going
This is the most insane track in the ost.
I miss playing this game for the first time. Now Eternal's gameplay absolutely destroys this game entirely, but Doom 2016 was such a nice experience.
I still prefer the simplicity of 2016s combat. Eternal felt like it was trying to do too much.
Bruh, listening this for some reason cured my headache ._.XD
God when the beat drops on this song it makes me shiver. The big bass blasts are awesome.
Holy shit, this is brutal.
i folded laundry and did homework to this
MACHINTOSH._. Did you rip anything?
I believe that they did. Until it was done.
Did it survive?
This is the most insane thing I've heard, no shot I'm gonna experience the same thing again
Playing through DOOM again before ETERNAL drops. Goddamn this music gets me pumped every time!
There's something unnerving about the vibe of this song. Raw power.
It drops so hard that even Satan can't handle with it.
Nick Gordon has music that will just take you there. It makes me want to just turn on the game right now and get back to ripping and tearing!
Going back through the game after finding Rich Get Richer and Armored Offensive really changes the tone of the final levels. It goes from the Doom Slayer as the underdog scraping by by the skin of his teeth fighting some of the most powerful demons in all of Hell, to “I’m not locked in here with you, you’re locked in here with me” the video game.
If this gets played in a club, bones will be melted by that bass.
This thing is so badass, its banned in hell.
this music makes me want to study/chill
never thought you could perfectly resemble anger in audio format. guess i was wrong
am I the only one who is sad when I reach a checkpoint in Doom and this awesome music stops? :(
Sick nasty.
This is awesome, the best of em all.
Try playing other games to the doom sound track. I've done it and it's awsome
