DOOM Eternal’s soundtrack will potentially feature a choir of screamo singers, as composer Mick Gordon has put out a call for fans of Enter Shikari et al. While the musician doesn’t explicitly cite id’s upcoming sequel, it’s almost certain to be related to the Hellish shooter. “For this project, I don't want to record a regular choir: I want to record a choir made up entirely of heavy metal screamers,” he explained on YouTube.
He continued: “To the best of my knowledge, I don't believe this has ever been done before. Therefore, here is an open invitation to anyone out there who wants to apply to join our heavy metal choir. We're looking for all types of screamers. Your level of experience doesn't matter. We're looking for all genders. As long as you're over 18, it doesn't matter how old you are.”
Presumably Strepsils will be provided to all participants free-of-charge? To be honest, while this is destined to sound worse than a bag of drowning kittens, we can appreciate the creativity behind it. Do we have any budding screamers within our ranks? Are you going to apply? Oh, and if you don’t get the call, may we just say: sorry you’re not a winner.

So cut my wrists and black my eyes.
@get2sammyb if you do that then you will never sleep with Taylor Swift.😇😱😂.haha word up son
That pic looks like a bunch of created female characters from GTA Online.
Well, after reading the headline I'm now kinda eager to hear what the end result will be like.
Thats a really cool concept!
Heres some advice PS friends, if youre going to mention heavy metal dont put up a pic of emo kids or youre going to get angry metal people hasslin ya.
im one of the nice ones so ill let you off with a friendly warning😉
When booting up the game for the first time I shall be going straight to the sound settings and turning the music down to zero then, the only screaming I want to hear is when I’m slaughtering demons and the undead.
Hmmm, I'm not a fan of screamo stuff in music.
Doom '16s music was perfect for all that ripping and tearing.
Heck even Doom 3 had some great music.
This sounds glorious. I listen to a bit of metal with a lot of screaming, but not much. That being said though, this is gonna be different as a choir than a couple of people screaming. I fully believe it will be glorious.
"this is destined to sound worse than a bag of drowning kittens"
You dare say this about a composer who used an actual chainsaw as a main instrument and made it sound good? Shows what you know.
@Gmork___ My thoughts exactly
Also, apologies for being a tad pedantic, but heavy metal doesn't contain screaming, so I'm not sure what the composer is looking for. Fingers crossed it's not similar to the first soundtrack, since I found that to be too overproduced and sorely lackojg any punch.
@get2sammyb I'm just a teensie bit offended by that pigeonholing remark, but I'll let you off the hook this time Sammy
christ, what a bunch of freaks...
@Useyourname It's a joke.
I take it there’s not many metal heads here, based on the writing in the article.. I think it could be a sick idea, personally. Especially if they got vocalists from bands like Fit for an Autopsy and Oceano, it’d really sound hellish, in a good way!
@JesWood13 Sounds like they're mainly looking for amateurs, but they could get some "bigger" names in as leads.
@playstation1995 My Chargers did it, New England isn’t the same team as the past, we’ll see how the game goes down.
@Badboyfx86 yeah I hope your team goes far.rivers need a championship.glad Ravens lost.now I want patriots.and cowboys to lost word up son
Go Cheifs.
And Go Dying Fetus.
At the very least it sounds like an interesting idea. This is Mick Gordon, so I'm curious about the result.
Oh wow Enter Shikari. I would never have remembered they existed if I hadn't read this so thanks for that guys.
"...while this is destined to sound worse than a bag of drowning kittens..."
😂😂😂
Wow...you have a twisted mind, sir! 😂
Something more like Cannibal Corpse would sound better and be more fitting thematically.
van canto are doing the soundtrack?
btw: enter shakiri is not metal!
I applied
