@@GeoffPlaysGuitar I have a recommendation of a song you could possibly DOOMify. Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (and Re-Reckoning) and it’s soundtrack don’t get enough attention. This has almost no correlation to a song from Super Metroid. But it makes me curious on what Balor from the Reckoning soundtrack would sound like DOOMified.

[@fanboyyourguy]

That or kraid

[@STINKERMCGEE]

@@fanboyyourguy maybe, but when I think of doom bosses I think of ones that are a bit more mobile and ferocious. Ridley fits that to a T. And imagine after you beat him once, he comes back later looking like meta Ridley with argent crucible claws and tail spike. Imagine him adding more weapons the more you defeat him until there isn't any more ridley to disembowel. It sounds too perfect for the cunning god of death.

It's really impressive how Mick Gordon made a very specific yet dynamic sound aesthetic that combines intense electronic music elements with that of metal, and that this Geoff fella is able to replicate it using various different themes and motifs from different videogames. Very well done and enjoyable to listen to.

@Totsukabladez 369 No. Doom Slayer is on a completely different plane of existence compared to Goblin Slayer. Goblin Slayer as a production and as a character lacks intensity and genuineness to his archetype. He is at best a diet Doom Slayer, but he is very rarely at his best. Whenever you take off the music from any scenes of Goblin Slayer's "brutality", it looks like a weird parody scene.

That or Slayer Grabs Ridley, slices his lower jaw off, punching him in the face and as he struggles as Slayer is strangling him on the ground to hold him, Samus Point-blank detonates a Power Bomb in his open jaw for all we see is Ridley get atomized as Slayer is knocked back and Samus stands in the ashes of her old foe.

Argent Ridley Morphology: Argent Ridley Demonically enhanced Ridley metaform A near-total cybernetic shell housing the lifeforce of Ridley. Biological material doesn't match to the original's genetic signature, and its genome reads as far too many other lifeforms to distinguish. Utilizing a mixture of UAC, Pirate and Argent D'nur technologies, Ridley has been armed with an array of micro-missiles, super-heated blades, and a kinetic breath weapon with both ballista and plasma fire capability. Though heavily armored with a mix of titanium alloy and a keratin-like hide, this has not rendered him fully immune to energy weaponry. These protections are weakest in the mouth, as well as the membrane of the wings. Pirate Log: The being known as Davoth has provided us with the blessing we needed; a way to resurrect our chief security officer after his demise in the destruction of Zebes, in return for our own research and collaboration with his forces. He claims to be able to recall geoform-187's lifeforce to this dimension after its dissipation in the planet's destruction. Though skeptical at first, our research into the planet Aether and our now-defunct Phazon projects, paired with Davoth's own demonstrations, quickly changed our perceptions. After providing Davoth with the schematics to our Meta Ridley project, he proceeded to set his own architects to work. Within an unprecedented amount of time, our base was eventually shaken by a piercing screech and a call for the blood of the hunter. Our god of death has returned once more.

As someone who creams over DOOM and recently had his eyes opened to the series by Dread and is now playing through Metroid in chronological order THIS FUCKING SLAPS.

[@Pbmarron]

Honestly, this absolutely works in Metroid. This perfectly captures what it feels like fighting Ridley for the first time.

[@homerosz97]

Before I say anything I just wanted to tell that I love that you make these style of covers and I genuinely thing they are amazing but I felt like something was missing from your more recent songs. It took me a lot of time to figure it out but I think I managed to capture what it is. They don't have the same level of aggression of other songs. Example: Megalovania. While it is a great cover, sounds great, has some Doom style weird sounds, amazing buildups but I feel like it lacks the aggression, the bass, the in your face feeling. This could be due to the song itself not being that aggressive feeling to begin with but I felt something similar with the Silver for Monsters as well (aside from the main part, that is amazing) I unironically think that Crazy bus is one of your bests songs. It has a constant aggressive feeling. The drums, the slides, sudden weird sounds, I love it all! I would say this one captured the style really well again and sounds something I can imagine in a Doom game. But, I'm just a guy on the internet who knows nothing about music. Take it as you want. I just hope I managed to get my point and feelings across in a constructive manner. Again, love your work. Much love

[@twilightsparkle2764]

Straight to the point, mate. The DOOM style music have one thing in common: Inner Aggression. They will make you wanna slay demons, kill bad guys and blow something up. That's why Mick Gordon's DOOM soundtrack is so popular. I think Geoff's recent songs lack the 'blood smells'; that is, they can not ignite our emotion or make our blood boil. I really wish this could improve later. Also, I strongly recommend you listen to this if you wanna experience the aggression: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4vOY3d8nsxlfNk And...Try Prodeus, one of the best old school shooters.

[@GeoffPlaysGuitar]

This is why I wanna work on soundtracks and not do covers forever 😉 to get that kind of heavy, you have to design songs to be aggressive from the bottom up!

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of war, her soul blistered by the malice of Ridley and tainted beyond ascension, she chose the path of perpetual torment. In her ravenous hatred she found no peace; and with boiling blood she scoured the galaxy seeking vengeance against the space pirates who had wronged her. She bore the arms of the Chozo, and those that tasted the plasma of her cannon named her... the Hunter.
