Let’s get into the soundtrack, too. We previously wrote about how they were looking for heavy metal singers. The result is here: more than twenty vocalists have teamed up for a creepy chant that is heard throughout the soundtrack. We got a behind-the-scenes video that showcases a few things, including the fact that the gender split is equal, and the styles are different, too. The chant is „pieced together from a mysterious and ancient language that harkens back to the Slayer’s origins.” Huh. Nice work on the soundtrack by Mick Gordon!
DOOM Eternal is out on March 20 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia, and PC. Pre-orderers will get DOOM 64 on this day, too. The Nintendo Switch port, handled by Panic Button, is coming at a later date.
