The sound of Doom was a big part of why it was so immersive, and everyone focuses on the mobs and gunshots (there's some pretty cool positional audio for the time), but the music really played a big part of the whole atmosphere.
Ah man, hell no :( The music in DOOM was such a huge influence on me. I had the Macintosh version which IIRC had the .mid files alongside the game, so I hung onto those and listened to them outside of the game quite frequently. I was just a kid at the time, and later on when I discovered bands like Pantera, Slayer, Judas Priest etc. I suddenly "got" all the references (not previously having known they were references/iterations on those bands' songs)! Great memories. RIP \m/
Hell put in a special petition to heaven to at least borrow him for a bit—not to torture him, mind, but to retain him to score their official soundtrack.
Wolfenstein 3D has such memorable tracks for me.. thanks for the music Bobby.

I knew I should’ve paid extra and gotten the Sound Blaster!
Thats Ad Lib type music no?
Wondering About My Loved Ones is one of my favorites. Appears also in Spear of Destiny https://chiptune.app/?play=C-eWH0LI
Loss of an absolute legend.
One of my favorite videos (and songs) sang by Bobby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w3yoIOK-9U (Eat Your Vegetables)
RIP. You will be missed Bobby.
NEDM, Prince.

he had great taste in metal. most of the tracks were adapted (now classic) speed/thrash metal.
Yep. The Doom 1 demo theme is Painkiller by Judas Priest

That E1M1 song is iconic. That will be played 00s of years from now, it will stand the test of time.
