Who is the composer for the Doom: The Dark Ages soundtrack?

by

Over the past four decades, the soundtracks of various video games have provided us with some exceptional artistic expressions. Ranging from the Bitmap Brothers utilizing their technology effectively and mirroring the pulsating UK underground culture of the 90s to Yuka Kitamura offering us melancholic soundscapes for From Software’s titles, the music that resonates during gameplay often plays a crucial role in conveying the narrative intended by the developers. Amongst the recent Doom games, fans have particularly appreciated the tunes, with a significant part of their enjoyment stemming from the music. However, one might wonder who is responsible for composing the score for the latest installment?

Who is the composer for the Doom: The Dark Ages soundtrack?

The musical team behind Doom: The Dark Ages is Finishing Move, a video game music production duo comprising Brian Trifon and Brian Lee White. They’ve contributed to various titles like Grounded, Borderlands 3, Halo Wars 2, Massive Chalice, and The Callisto Protocol.

Supporters of the series know well about the tense dynamics between id Software and Mick Gordon. It was indeed Gordon who crafted the phenomenal guitar-heavy, gritty soundtrack for Doom 2016, which captured the hearts of many and elegantly echoed the early days of the game franchise. Given this, it’s understandable that many fans are disappointed he didn’t return to the project. Regrettably, a deeply broken relationship between Gordon and id Software, with each party pointing fingers at the other for the rift, makes it unlikely we’ll ever get more of his work on Doom.
