Doom PlayStation digital soundtrack by Aubrey Hodges on Bandcamp

Composer Aubrey Hodges' Doom Playstation soundtrack is published on the musician's Bandcamp page.

The first-person shooter developed by id Software first launched in 1993 and was ported to the PlayStation console in 1995 by Williams Entertainment. Hodges' dark and brooding console game score took advantage of the Sony console's hardware capabilities, and returned for the 1996 Sega Saturn port.

"While the original Doom on the PC used a midi rock soundtrack this version is largely comprised of dark ambient soundscapes designed to enhance the suspense of the levels," reads the Bandcamp liner notes. "The result is a dark and brooding score that combined with the imagery of the levels serves to unnerve and rattle the player."

Spanning over five hours of music, the composer's 20th Anniversary Extended Edition of the Doom PlayStation soundtrack is also available through Bandcamp. The album features extended arrangements of all level tracks, a new arrangement of the main theme, and bonus tracks created by revisiting the original sound techniques. Doom Playstation Official Soundtrack is streaming on Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited.


From the product page:
The Sony PlayStation version of Doom was a conversion of Doom and Doom II by Williams Entertainment. It was released on November 16, 1995 and is still considered one of the most unique versions of Doom to this day.

While the original Doom on the PC used a midi rock soundtrack this version is largely comprised of dark ambient soundscapes designed to enhance the suspense of the levels. The result is a dark and brooding score that combined with the imagery of the levels serves to unnerve and rattle the player. The audio and visuals work together to really define the hellish nightmare that is the world of Doom.
