Mick Gordon's Approach to Video Game Soundtracks

There's no shortage of video game soundtracks that you can boot up and enjoy these days, but few can compare to Mick Gordon's work on 2016's Doom and 2020's Doom Eternal.

Mick Gordon is renowned for his work on the Doom series soundtracks, known for their raw and intense sound that perfectly complements the gameplay. He views his role as a musical archeologist, uncovering the music that already exists within the game. Gordon credits the longevity and success of his soundtracks to the fans who appreciate and enjoy his work.

After taking a break post-Doom: Eternal, Gordon has contributed to various other games and is now working on the cyberpunk FPS game Defect, showcasing his unique approach to creating impactful and immersive soundscapes.
