Love the second half of this mix. Gets really dynamic and the guitars start to break out of the earlier rhythm.

I love the dirtiness of this mix. The shredding sound of the supporting guitar really crawls up and down my spine whenever I listen to it.

when I first heard the track, I thought it could possibly use some beefing up in the latter sections with a rock organ like the original track had, and the lead did sound a little sloppy at times. But the track really grew on me and I've found myself listening to it on repeat at work. Definitely a gem from DQD. A huge kudos goes out to Evil Horde for picking up this track and bringing a bit of nostalgia back from DSoP.

Hotwire! An awesome springboard for the album. Well done, and don't stare at the Distort knob like that.

Just watching my brother play Doom as a kid freaked me out, but that's another story. Great opening riffs, the first minute is great. 1:30~2:00 felt a little to empty to me. Felt like there should have been more going on there.

I don't know what's original or source, but the guitars do nice work overall. Some of the clashing parts are pretty epic sounding.

I would have liked a little more direction as a whole, it felt like the song didn't really 'go anywhere'. Some parts were really great that I would like to have heard more of. Nice work overall.

I'm no expert or anything, but those were some epic riffs.

Man, This one is grungy. The bass sounds great, and some of the over-the-top percussive hits are quality.

I wish the leads were a little cleaner, they have some weird phase issues due to all the distortion on them, especially in the harmony section.As is, they are a bit too dirty. The rhythm chugs are nice, and the solo itself is cleaner and has some nice harmony snippets.

The beat seemed a bit too static for my tastes, I can understand having it take a backseat to all the guitars, but more than 1 beat would have been nice.

Very cool to see an OCR vet back in the saddle though.

Not my style, but who cares? This is... meaty. Yes, that's the word. Meaty.

Default Not Doom enough.

I have played Doom for my whole life and can say: This song is not cool enough to tell the tale of a serious fighting space marine against hell.

I don't like the pitch or style of certain parts. The music reminds me of a cheap new metal band instead of a historical game which is the father of new age shooters. The song will never be able to fill the sad hearts of the remaining space marines - who lost almost all their comrades - with pride about the performed fight for humanity.

It IS a remix of a Doom song, thats right! But in consideration of the bigness of the Doom-phenomenon and -history, this song cannot be considered a good Doom remix. (Even though id messed it up itself with the perky Doom movie...) It is not. And: There is nothing epic in it. It does not convince me.

Your technical performance is outstanding - the sound and all instruments are clear like the vacuum around mars... But sometimes I am afraid, that this is the only criterion the judges are looking at; For this song has neither own characteristic greatness or power nor any effective, that would have been copied from the source.

- The beginning sounds like "Hangar 18" from "MegaDeth" for a moment...
- The accents set in the background sounds during the solo diminishes it's power.
- Example: I was lucky hearing the solo beginning at 2:36, but two seconds later at 2:38 I realized that the setting of boring personal accents that derive from the source continue...


But at least I'm glad to see people concerning themselves about good 'ol Doom.

Chip metal, or whatever that modulation effect at 0:37 makes it. WOuld ahve been nice to have more chip elements in this, the metal gets old. Yeah, I've noticed I'm not as much of a metal fan as I used to be, but there's something in this that reminds me of why I enjoyed the genre back when. A little repetitive, not very melodic, but it's got great attitude. Good enough for me.
