Doom - Demons on the Prey (E1M7/E2M5/E3M5)

This is the full unlooped version of this track, a looped version can be found among my other Doom/Doom 2 tracks on my website:
www.perkristian.net/
A track I made in 2008, I wanted to do something a bit different with this track, so I tried the humming choir instead of a synth pad - this made me think of space marines humming as they march towards their doomed destiny; facing the demons from hell. That together with some deep and heavy strings made this track quite dark and sinister.
Originally composed by the one and only; Bobby Prince

Easily the best remake of this track I've ever heard. The choir was a stroke of genius.

[@psychotic423]

I like how this is the only music in Doom which plays once in all 4 episodes

[@ziomccall4085]

Actually my favourite remake of Demons on the prey.

[@krystallinekris]

Have you heard the 3DO OST? Game ran like shit, but that OST was actually comprised by a garage band of sorts and directly imported into the game.

[@1Buttonmasher]

The more ambient pieces of Doom's soundtrack are underappreciated in my opinion.

[@twil2978]

Jordan Ehdieb definitely

[@fgonzalez90]

Agree! Those 'dark ambient' tunes fit so well to various Doom maps and WADs.

[@mohammednawfalal-damluji686]

When I played DooM back in the mid-late 90s, the PC sound card was bery basic so the game had the soundblaster soundtrack version, and back then I didn't recognize the metal references. In addition to that, my style of play was the "cautious" because the game used to make me nervous as a young boy, and the ambient track played a part in that. However, this particular track became my favorite for some reason, and to this day it still is, even though the rest of tracks (for both games, Ultimate & II) are excellent and considered classic in the DooM community.

I want this in my funeral

[@MasterDrew117]

This rendition feels so perfect in E3M5 - Unholy Cathedral, it’s such a powerful and intimidating presentation.

[@andywolan]

Oh man, the choir makes this track so epic.

[@internetuser6602]

Wow! With the voices and drums gives a dark medieval feel, like a beat of a funeral march. Amazing!

[@joe.black-mortem.angelos]

Foreboding dread. That is the feeling this obscure song gives me.

[@jimhuffman9434]

I find this strangely calming

[@Swifswaf]

This music alone is the entire reason why I beat E4M8 from starting with a pistol.

[@alejambicho4982]

This is fucking scary and awesome, my favourite version, perfect for play Brutal Doom :)

[@Steventhe2nd]

this is better then the metal version

[@dobryczowiek7866]

Metal doesn't fit this track

[@z-mkgaming7464]

They fit different purposes. The metal one feels like what'd be played as a daemon army approaches and burns down a large force. The actual version fits its purpose, tense battle music for one man going on a rampage against daemons.

[@JobimSynthMusic]

bloody hell. I was just reading the score to cover this track.... the choir for the bass line is killer!

[@kotletschabowy4169]

That almost makes me wish for a simple doom remake, especially music/texture refresh, without plot, new monsters, weapons etc.

[@snowydayssduhh9771]

Then the mod , brutal doom is what ur looking for lol

[@Swifswaf]

@@snowydayssduhh9771 Smooth Doom with some music and texture mods would be a lot better to keep the vanilla gameplay.

[@gamerman7276]

Check out Cheello's channel, he's making voxels for ALL the sprites.

[@Yamigata]

Thanks for posting this. I am trying to put together my own collection of music to use with Brutal Doom64, and found this one. Love it! Checked out your website and found even more goodies. Thanks again!

[@popochopper]

This is one of the best version i've heard!

[@doctornagalli3321]

I can imagine (if a Doom movie was done right) this track would be in the opening scene with a scorched and demon ridden earth. And demons roaming everywhere.

[@aurriusthepure7323]

Definitely going on my Halloween turn up list

[@bennettjohnson574]

e2m5 is such an underrated level. e3m5 is really good as well tho i can understand ppls frustration with the teleportation puzzle

[@Xeotroid]

Oh my... What did you use for the humming choir? It sounds awesome!

[@bruceli9094]

It was enhanced from original.

[@UrAverageFR_Teen]

​@@bruceli9094original was just a synth

[@redield21]

awesome version dude, good job.

[@PerKristianRisvik]

Thank you! I hardly use any VSTi's, the strings in this track are a combination of soundfonts and a Roland JD-990.

[@theresaverity]

This is astonishingly good. Fantastic work elevating what is probably the best track on the soundtrack!

[@williamr1088]

I like humming along with it.

[@Nomadnetic3]

This is excellent, definitely gives it more of a funeral dirge style.

[@DamascusTest]

OMG ! The humming version wich I was looking for for years ! My fav version !

[@bruceli9094]

The Crusade chant

[@pauloaruanda]

the best in my opinion

[@armymen12002003]

Very good job with this i always felt like this was a wolf3d song to.

[@retrogamer3001]

best music and game ever

[@gokudomatic]

really neat!

[@EA-sz6pc]

Is the remastered version. Man I love this. Regards, LoXTan eSports

[@fadhilahzaidan4946]

Nice remix! 👍🏼

[@bruceli9094]

Will be playing this song if I land on Mars.

[@groomerkiller3947]

It Should be the anthem of Mars if we live there someday.

[@pauloaruanda]

Best

[@LucidFlameX]

Makes me think of a ritual procession where a guilty soul is led in chains to the site of their execution while the man with the axe walks right behind them.

[@StevenQBeatz]

Awesome!! What vsti are you using for your strings?

[@heftybat1087]

How did you get that awesome lighting and HD textures? could you send me a link? It looks sweet!

[@Kent_D_Nur]

Original Doom: 50% Acción/ 50% Dread

[@MeekToaster]

Good for the doom/doom2 Xbox one version

[@Trid3nt861]

sounds like a track out of Conan the Barbarian....if it had Doomguy as the hero instead of Conan.

[@IHATEDRIVING2]

Its said that most of Doom Ost are based on real Metal Songs. I was trying to hard to find which one can be the base of this song. Until now maybe Candlemass - Mourners Lament, who knows.

[@ioanc2]

Sounds a bit like Vangelis.

[@user-py7yr7nt1m]

E1M7/E2M5/E3M5 And E4M8

[@PerKristianRisvik]

It's the Doomsday port, google it and you'll find it.

[@brandontorres4499]

Sounds like a military March at 1.25,this would fit Hitler or darth vader quite well

[@ekonsupra7425]

Doom origins wasn't "Rip and tear" style

[@avideogamemaster]

32x version >>>
