Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods | David Levy's Heaviest Riffs | Immora, UAC, Blood Swamps

This is a compilation of some of the heaviest riffs I wrote for Doom Eternal TAG (Immora, UAC Atlantica and Blood Swamp's Trial of Maligog).
For those of you who don't know - this video has been a collaboration with the Doom community (arguably the best game community on the planet).
I asked them to send me clips of their best glory kills and within a day or two I had over 100 to work with!
Thank you all who submitted clips and helped make this video happen.
Hope you enjoy it!
