FOR THE MAKRON [Strogg and Peeker Theme]

My interpretation of what would be Strogg and Peeker's (Quake Champions) theme song! I was kind of envisioning how fighting game characters have their tracks that play while I made this. Right off the bat I wanted to sample a drone taking off and I incorporated that into the textured sound effect at the beginning, with the beginning notes of the ETQW Main Theme/Strogg Victory Theme playing on top. The Strogg were introduced in Q2, so I figured it would only be appropriate to reference a track from that game as well as sort of a callsign for them. The ETQW Theme has a big dramatic climax that I knew I wanted to use as the ending, with it being arranged as Orchestral+Choir in the original. I recreated that on my end, and then translated it to the sort of Industrial/Metal style consistent with the rest of the champion themes.

I fuckin' love it. When the strogg theme from Q2 kicked in: Goose Bumps. Nothing less than perfect.

Why has nobody mentioned how underrated you are? This is up at Mick Gordon's level of badassery.

Id should hire this guy. THIS is what I want to hear in-game!

[@ilovequake833]

@Dark lord Agreed

[@ThatTravGuy]

This has to be one of my favorite themes/covers from You. Your style compliments the Quake 2 (and other Q2 canon games) Soundtrack so well, god damn.

[@dbthanatos]

Absolutely awesome. Heavy, and yet inspired by the ETQW with a sprinkle of Q2 The ending is fantastic!

[@Palek83]

This time I hit like before even listening. I know it will be GOOD.

[@Mydtys]

FOR THE MAKRON!

[@BruceForte]

Now I have more reasons for maining Strogg than just loving ETQW.

[@jesseteixeira6284]

FOR STROGGOS

[@DoomguyIsGrinningAtYou.]

I feel like a quake reboot should have a blend of both Quake 1 and 2. It begins with fighting the Strogg in a typical sci-fi action story plot of Quake 4, but a quarter into it, reality itself begins to degrade as some unknown eldritch entity begins invading, destroying both conflicting sides while leaving the main protagonist alive and confused as he attempts to survive hordes of both the remaining Strogg and hell-ish monsters while trying to find the underlying cause to all this.

[@scorpack628]

that would be amazing

[@StephenStine]

This would be incredible.

[@shockedhorizon5308]

oh FUCK yeah

[@kyotra]

Screw it, bring Hell itself into the multi-universe fray too - combine Doom and Quake into one metaverse.

[@evosquad2474]

@@kyotra I wouldn’t be complaining

[@jaymikevillanueva1212]

DUDE. This should've been the soundtrack for Quake 4. It pretty much captures the Strogg's cold ferocity and epicness. Excellent work, sir!

this dude is a visionary, workhorse, and inspiration. I can listen to these amazing tracks and HEAR the love you put into them. From Quake 2 riffs, to the ability to musically caricature some(thing) is an outlandish skill. I salute you .

[@LegoLiam1803]

Enemy Territory: Quake Wars. Oh, what a beautiful game.

[@madyellow8027]

i love the hits of Descent Into Cerberon in this song holy shit wow nice

[@niccolomiglio6996]

Couldn't ask for anything better

[@deuxsonic]

The end is like something from Nine Inch Nails, mixing piano and distorted things with kind of a melancholy sound.

[@mansoorhameed7075]

that is sooooo perfect, as a huge fan of all the quakes but especially the strogg quake games: quake 2, quake wars, quake 4 and everything strogg I gotta say this song hits the nail perfectly! and the homage to descent into cerberon is beautiful!

[@OperatorVanta]

oh damn that ETQW theme towards the end just *MMMM*

[@mysteriousstranger2287]

The entire part immediately before 2:54 is absolutely breathtaking.

[@kysz1]

The fragment starting from 2:36 was absolutely brilliant for me :)

[@nolef7nu7]

really wish we'd get a remaster of ETQW

[@shambleshef]

I feel strong Q4 and Q2 vibes with this one

[@nicholasmilbrett4374]

I like the melody and the mathematical beat seems to finally give me a electrical signal to my brizzaain. Thanks you mark

[@Hex_Scythe_takanashi]

Omg this is amazing, I love Doom/Quake inspired music

[@Porkhammer]

I am grateful for this.

[@88Dismal]

Sh*t man, you deserve more credit for this.

[@TheReal_FishFins]

Smashed it out of the park again matey. Edit: I like the blend of industrial and metal in this song quite a lot. Reminds me of your Vyper track a little bit. Your tuning and distortion is spot on. Raw and dirty enough without sounding muddy.

[@pechio4567]

This is so awesome! Well done!

[@railguninteractive9782]

Thank you Markie, very cool!

[@-41337]

This is so good. Epic and sad. This whole series is amazing, especially how well the tracks are themed for each character.

[@Morpheus-sh1bc]

WE 👏 NEED 👏 A 👏 QUAKE 👏 1 👏 REBOOT 👏 LIKE 👏 DOOM 👏 2016 👏

[@Morpheus-sh1bc]

But with more of Shub-Niggurath and her children, and maybe Cthulhu ..... idk how it would fit, but it was just a thought ..... ALSO IT NEEDS TO FOCUS ON CAMPAIGN FIRST, AND NOT A MULTIPLAYER-ONLY GAME LIKE QUAKE CHAMPIONS, i was so sad when it came out with no campaign, even a continuation of Quake 2 and 4's story would've been good ..... just ..... i, or we, (im sure some of u guys wanted a campaign) didnt want a quake 3 with better graphics.

[@ghoulbuster1]

I would love to see the creatures of quake in high quality

[@Morpheus-sh1bc]

Ricky V Hell yeah ! Me too, brother !

[@_a_curious_robot]

So that we could see if shamblers have eyes

[@Morpheus-sh1bc]

Z Good idea. But if Shamblers had eyes, they would look like weird mutated mole rats. Btw u can see in quake champions, there's a hat for ranger that resembles a shambler head, and it has no eyes.

[@-groundzer0-460]

I HEARD THE DESCENT INTO CERBERON TONES AND I FUCKING LOST IT

[@yvstinvs]

Im blown away. Unbelieveable

[@maqzi]

god your characters themes are fucking amazing. Your Galena and Strogg tracks are easily my favourites and fit the pace of quake so well

[@manifoldexultant7331]

Just did a replay of Q4 on hard, the Makron was a pushover but I couldnt figure out how to destroy the core so I ended up in a war of attrition with the strogg constantly thinking "when will this end?!"

[@TheSpudHunter]

Very High on the Contents per Minute scale! WELL DONE

[@popkorn3003]

This is absolutley geat! Now I wonder how your take on Quake 3 OST would sound like.

[@MarvinMegavolt]

If only there was a new campaign-based Quake game, something on par with Doom 4, to continue the stories of both Q1 tie it in with Q2/4's greater universe. Expand the Quake galaxy a bit - introduce some more alien races; bring some new Elder Gods into it - beings filling the power vacuum left by Shub-Niggurath after Ranger killed her; maybe have something with finding a planet totally consumed by Elder God corruption. Heck, have the Stroggs and extradimensional horrors meet.
