It dives deep into thrash-metal territory with a simple yet high-tempo riff that commands attention, much like the Doom Slayer does every time he walks into a room. You’ll slaughter waves of demons while heading toward the planet-busting cannon, and in this moment, “BFG-10000” plays. How? By commandeering a big, effing gun on one of Mars’ moons and doing things his own way.

After Hayden tells the Doom Slayer that he can’t just shoot a hole through Mars, the Doom Slayer prepares to shoot a hole through Mars. When it comes to characterizing the Doom Slayer’s dauntless confidence, few moments can top the segment when “BFG-10000” kicks in.
#Doom eternal music full
A perfect song to illustrate that electrifying change is “The Only Thing They Fear is You.” Aside from having an absolutely badass name, this song provides the perfect accompaniment for those moments when you’re cleaning up an arena full of demons. When the octane lets loose, everything gets cranked up to 11. It’s itching and ready to go, much like the Doom Slayer’s trigger finger. However, the tone of everything, especially the guitars, are muted and subdued, as if waiting to be unleashed. To be clear, these may be the “palate-cleansing,” ambient valleys amid Doom Eternal’s many peaks, but don’t expect any lo-fi chill beats to study and relax to. Songs like “Hell on Earth” and “ARC Complex” build the suspense and tension before the high-octane action kicks in. Even the quiet moments between the arenas often have some heavy yet ambient music playing underneath.

Nearly every moment throughout the game’s campaign is underscored by the sound of hell itself. Doom Eternal has so many standout tracks that it’s almost ridiculous.
