Well, since I don't think I'm the only one who play AEoD with his own music, I've opened this little thread for all music suggestions any fellow AEoD players may want to make for a more enjoyable demon-slaughtering-gut-ripping-entrails-blasting experience. Or just because it's a song they like.

So I'll start here with a song that was actually used in MIDI format in Doom II's original soundtrack:

Alice In Chains - Them Bones, from their album Dirt

Not really a grunge fan, but these guys have a strong metal influence, so that's right in my book.

Well, when playing doom, I mostly use the music randomizer I made, to have it playing a nice personal selection of MIDIs.

It goes from metallica to necrophagist. I think is mostly tech death metal and progressive.

however, an album I like to hear also when playing doom, is "Vulgar display of power" by Pantera

Yup, Pantera were a nice band allright. Cowboys From Hell is my favourite, but to each his own. Also, you ought to check Anselmo's current band, Down, if you haven't already. Sounds like Pantera with a bit of Sabbath and Southern Rock.

Down - Ghosts Along the Mississipi, from the album II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow

Also, knowing all the death metal references in AEoD, I'd be surprised if you didn't know Demilich. Their (unfortunately) only album Nespithe sounds great for AEoD

Demilich - The Putrefying Road In The Nineteenth Extremity (Somewhere Inside The Bowels of Endlessness...)

Yeah, the song title is THAT long.

And also, yeah, im sort of a rock/metal conoisseur xD

How about the sega saturn Duke Nukem theme. It went good with this video!

Here is the link to the video of just the song:

@Mr.Kosta: Indeed. The Great Southern Trendkill is a perfect disc to use while playing quake2 I dont know why, but I always do.

And to be honest, I did know about Phil's current band. I gotta check that

About Demilich, yeah, I have listened to em before. Sounds good (despite the low volume of the record), but I have never tried to play aeod with it. Gotta try. However, the overgrowling vocals I would've left out. Still, they have some pretty sticky riffs >

And if you want long song names, we could go with
Nile - Papyrus Containing The Spell To Preserve Its Possessor Against Attacks From He Who Is In The Water

I do like nile a lot, but I hate the equalization. They have some sick riffs, but they hide in all that extreme-gain distortion.

@Madnessguy10: Yeah, the duke theme is really catchy, perhaps because we all know it so well. However, I only see it for duke, and cant play doom with it

I personally prefer Megadeth's version of the DN3D theme

Well to list a variety of diffrent metal/rock songs I could see myself listening to when playing doom, (seems to be the general theme here.) They really are diffrent types of metal though.

Isis - Hall of the dead
Ulver - I troldskogen faren vild
Meshuggah - Rational Gaze
Arcturus - Hibernation sickness complete
Dream theater - Honor thy father
Devin townsend - By your command
My dying bride - Cry of mankind
Agalloch - Not unlike the waves
Cynic - Space for this
Mars volta - Inertatic Esp.
Alice in chains - Man in the box
Rage against the machine - Killing in the name
Katatonia - My twin
Moonsorrow - Pakanajuhla
Blind guardian - Mirror Mirror
Queensryche - Silent lucidity (For the easier maps)
Pantera - Cemetary gates
Dream evil - Chosen ones
Steve vai - Bad horsie
Enter shikari - Sorry your not a winner
Converge - Reap what you sow
Dillinger escape plan - When good dogs do bad things
Psychostick - Two ton paperweight (This is humor if anything)
Black label society - Stillborn
Angra - Heroes of the sand
Evergrey - Touch of blessing
In the woods... - Weeping willows
Oomph! - Tief in dir
Opeth - Ghost of perdition
Tool - Vicarious
Dark tranquillity - The treason wall
Rhapsody - Emerald sword (Best powermetal song there ever was.)

Guess i have to limit myself there heh.

Well, they can be any style you like. It's just that rock/metal is my preference, so that's what I post, personally.

This one also sounds great for long and difficults, Alien Vendetta style.

Lair of The Minotaur - Doomtrooper, from the album War Metal Battle Master

Well, so I was yesterday playing TNT:Evilution map 32 (Caribbean), when suddenly this popped into my head:

Alcatrazz - Island In The Sun, from the album No Parole From Rock 'n' Roll

Ah, the good ol' 80's...

Another band I've been listening too while playing / testing / developing / whatnot is this one

Well, so I was playing my daily hour of AEoD, and suddenly my WMP popped this one in:



Mekong Delta are one of the most underrated bands of the 80's, if you ask me.

Well, 2 days ago, I had a very unpleasant encounter with... err... one of the new bosses added in the new patch, and after 20 minutes and several quickloads, I managed to beat him and I got my reward: the Volcano Cannon.

Why do I post this story in a music thread? Well, because my WMP playlist must have some telepathic connection with me, and started playing this one once I started unleashing hell with my new and shiny toy:



The win of the situatuion is even more epic if you take a look at the lyrics xD
