I was commissioned to create a Smash-style medley that combines the most iconic themes of the classic DOOM trilogy! I thought this was an excellent idea - and it was a surprisingly natural medley to piece together, even with the third song completely changing the time signature. I also incorporated a couple sneaky nods to some of the newer DOOM games that you might hear. In the spirit of the original DOOM soundtrack, my arrangement draws inspiration from heavy metal and thrash music of the 1980s, including artists like Judas Priest, Slayer, and of course Metallica! I thought a great way to "Smashify" these songs would be to arrange them in an symphonic metal style - very much inspired by Metallica's S&M concerts. As far as Smash Bros remixes to reference, I looked to the heaviest of rock remixes for inspiration - a lot of Yusuke Takahama's remixes were good points of reference.
This is also my first Smash-style remix that includes live recorded instruments, which is very exciting! I knew I needed to go all out - to make something that would do justice to these iconic soundtracks, a remix that would be worthy of appearing in a Doom Slayer reveal trailer. It needed to pack a punch, but my guitar libraries just couldn't perform the shredding that this remix needed... so I reached out to Ben Zimmermann to record some of the guitars. Needless to say, he absolutely KILLED IT. He really channeled the stylings of Kirk Hammett & James Hetfield and elevated the remix to levels I didn't think possible. Big thanks to him and be sure to check out his channel linked below!
Overall, I'm very pleased with how this turned out - I think its one of the most authentically "Smash" sounding remixes I've done yet.
