For The First Time, Doom And Its Composer Will Melt Faces In Real Life

For The First Time, Doom And Its Composer Will Melt Faces In Real Life https://ift.tt/JYkwnil Fans of one of gaming's most iconic soundtracks will soon get to experience it in a whole new way, as composer Mick Gordon is set to play the Doom soundtrack live on stage for the first time as the headliner at Radar Festival in the UK next summer. Although Gordon played a medley at The Game Awards in 2016, this will be his first full-length set with a live band, orchestra, and full production. Gordon is known for defining Doom's identity with crushing riffs, industrial synths, and earth-shaking electronic production. His work on 2016's Doom and 2020's Doom Eternal established a new benchmark for video game soundtracks, with titles like Rip & Tear , BFG Division , and The Only Thing They Fear Is You becoming firm fan favorites. They've earned millions of streams and remain staples of game music playlists years after release. https://youtu.be/QHRuTYtSbJQ?list=R...

All this confusion has resulted in discussions around what the platform holder's intent for the future of Xbox is, and speculation on what part Game Pass plays in it. On this episode of Spot On, Lucy and Tamoor discuss the closures, the aftermath of them—including some confusing statements from an exec—and what the future of Xbox may look like.
