Michael John Gordon is an Australian composer and sound designer, composing music primarily for video games.
Whatever happens in the future, that identity will undoubtedly be affected by whatever direction id and Bethesda decide to take the series and its music. Mick Gordon's work played a big part in helping the rebooted DOOM series to establish its own identity. Marty Stratton's letter ends with a confirmation that Gordon won't be involved in DOOM Eternal's DLC plans, and gives a very strong indication that id will not be working with the composer again. By all accounts, Mick Gordon did his absolute best to meet that responsibility, but it wasn't enough to keep id and publisher Bethesda from cutting corners when it came to releasing the OST in a timely manner. On one hand, "you can't rush art," but when that art is part of a mass-marketed corporate product with tight deadlines, there is a responsibility that needs to be met. It's easy to sympathize with both sides of this conflict. When it comes to the poor quality of the tunes, Stratton again blames Gordon for providing pre-compressed files for id's Lead Audio Designer to make OST-ready.

When asked about the matter, Gordon confirmed that he didn't mix the entire record, which suffered from a total lack of dynamics in all the tracks that weren't personally assembled by Gordon himself. A big part of the game's success came from its soundtrack, composed by Mick Gordon, who also worked on DOOM 2016 and the recent Wolfenstein titles.Ĭontroversy arose last month when the official soundtrack release for DOOM Eternal contained a number of poorly-mixed tunes. In a year already packed with high-profile video games, DOOM Eternal managed to stand out from the pack with its infectious mix of wall-to-wall action, tremendous production values, and old-school sensibilities. UPDATE: In an open letter published on Reddit, DOOM Eternal producer Marty Stratton indicated that composer Mick Gordon will not be asked to return to the franchise for its upcoming DLC or potential future entries.
