UPDATE Nov. 2022: Mick Gordon deserved far better for his work on the soundtrack of Doom Eternal. Read Mick's side of the story here: https://medium.com/@mickgordon/my-full-statement-regarding-doom-eternal-5f98266b27ce

In 1993, Doom became one of the world's first immersive video games, and we can attribute a lot of that to Bobby Prince's score. Today, Mick Gordon has adapted the diversity of Doom's soundtrack in a slew of unorthodox and incredible ways. This video explores how Mick was able to do this, what it adds to both games, and why his compositions were so important.
