Its like 1997 drop kicked me in the ears, and I *likes* it.

Thanks a lot man, the ROTT OST is just around the corner ;) . I appreciate you and others listening!

[lmeza]

quake 2 had an amazing soundtrack that barely needs an "upgrade", but is nice to see some love since I havent found any covers. Would be nice to hear your interpretation of big gun and decent into cerberon.

Who'd have thought such a badass track could be turned up to eleven!

Superb work!

[AndrewHulshultOfficial]

Thanks, if the music inspires me I got for it so I will take a listen. After I get a handful up I may put up some DL links.

ROCK ON!!!

new games fps music blow..cant believe retro is way better

[bedoboipdf]

Man am I so glad they picked this guy for Doom Eternal. They couldn't have found better, you and David absolutely killed it Andrew, hope to see more of your work in the future!

[OSLP]

Very well played and extremely good mastering. However, I have to confess: I like it dirtier, mushier, more like a tank or Cyberdemon waltzing over you.

[Flinch]

It'd be awesome if this were to be included soon in the Quake II Remaster.

[FilmShiz]

And to think... 5 years later you're working on Quake Champions. Impressive.

[bwcliebenberg]

This is F#cking sick. Quake 2 had a rocking sound track, you make it even better. Great work

[pjousma]

Quake II, one of my favorite shooters back in the days. Very underappreciated.

[AdahnFlorence]

I love the sound, it's like stone being rhythmically grinded

[lordpolvo]

[MidnightLilac]

How the hell am I only know finding this!!!
I never had any experience with quake growing up, but this is making me wish I did.
Fantastic work my guy, this gives me hope for Ancient Gods.

[Monicaser]

Andrew, you are very talented and I was happy to hear your work in Quake Champions. Rock on.

[Terf]

Your music is going to great to listen to when I start working out again soon.

I'm not surprised these songs don't seem like they would fit Quake in general-- like I said above, I expected it. They were very much designed for this one set of levels in specific, that was part of the challenge I set myself. And some of these levels had really inventive themes, or mixes of themes.
The whole idea was to experiment with the music and take risks. I see no point in doing what's been done before when the stuff that has been done -- both from the community and from Reznor himself -- is already so good.
And the vocal is something that I thought would maybe work for some people but not others, that's the reason there are two versions. I was thinking of the sorts of people who used to try out different CDs with the game back in the day just to see what other sorts of music might fit. I was just a kid back in 1996, but if I had been old enough to understand how it worked you can bet I would have been one of those people.
I got to mess around with different voices and try out some things I didn't even think I could do-- the hissing-and-spitting lead voice on track 6 is a good example of that. You can certainly believe that none of the voices you'd hear in-game if you used that version sound anything like I do in real life. It was incredibly fun to come up with all of them and then actually get to record them.
And most of the black metal influence I mentioned probably comes from that mindset too.

Is the only cover that gets the riff right. ❤
