What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

If it is possible to be scared by a piece of music, this mix has gotten me as close to that as I'm ever likely to be. As the song began I guessed at which source song it was using, and ended up being correct, that it was a mix of E1M8, the final stage of Episode 1 where you end up being transported to hell.

Like many of Doom's songs, the song conveys a desolate atmosphere, and is featured in a later stage in I think Episode 3 called House of Pain as well. That stage like many featured a lot of impaled corpses, hanging severed body parts, and generally very nasty things happening to those less fortunate than our beloved Doomguy.

Why bother mentioning this, well, this song nailed that atmosphere, perhaps almost too well, I'm not going to lie, I was pretty put off by the lyrical content, which, I believe is a compliment since the intention was presumably to disturb. That it did, so well done!

I liked the outro which brought the source tune more to the forefront as well, that, and it was downright peaceful compared to the middle part of the song . This mix also makes The Dark Side of Phobos, and Delta-Q-Delta seem like good harmless fun, and please don't take that the wrong way because I absolutely dig both of those albums, just saying, different atmospheres for the most part!

Truly a scary mix which conveys a lot of atmosphere, I don't think it will mean anywhere near as much to those who have not played Doom, but it certainly resonated with me.

Dang. djpretzel wasn't lying when he said it was "dark." Very disturbing vibe, and very reminiscent of the dark and dirty metal sounds that you hear in DooM. The decapitation recitation is sinister, and I definitely need to listen to it again to figure out exactly what is said.

Superb job, as a big fan of darker metal (Children of Bodom, Cradle of Filth, etc) I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and hope to see more from Kadmium.

[Final Hero]

Yeeeeah... the next time I feel a need to have a good, old-fashioned nightmare, I'm just going to loop my media player on this song and go to sleep listening to it.

Seriously though, the goal of a "dark" and "thick" piece was definitely accomplished here - maybe even too well, although I can't say I was truly disturbed by the piece, as seems to be the general consensus. (Then again, I don't disturb easily. ) But it definitely evokes a barren, wasteland kind of landscape, the kind you'd do anything to not get caught in, or, worse, stranded in. Well done.

Damn. This is some good ol' fashioned Nightmare Fuel right here. Not usually my cup of tea, but I can appreciate it, and of course it's great to finally see Kadmium's name up here on OCR.

[LuigiFan]

I'm going to go listen to the music from Animal Crossing now - my soul needs its happy back.

[Amayirot Akago]

I heard the original way back when I got it off VGMix, and man, this rendition definitely takes it up to 11. Good stuff.

[The Orichalcon]

Been a while since I've seen Kadmium on the scene. Since VGMix went down, all my Kadmium mixes went missing and I had no way to get them back.

This is MUCH better than the original Asphyxiated Soul which I disliked. The guitar is so much heavier in this, and particularly the vocals are much better. Where they were screechy in the original, they're dark, deep and terrifying in this one. The kick is still very weak, which I've found in all of Kadmium's mixes that I've heard. But it doesn't detract from how enjoyable it is.

Now, could we please have Kill the Wabbit on OCReMix, Kadmium? I miss that song more than I miss not having to shave as a kid.

[Red Hammer 4]

Straight up scary indeed man. Especially with the instructions on decapitation running through the creepiness of the song. D:

[Dunther]

Ahh Kadmium, one of my favourite remixers of all time; I'm happy to see you here on OCR :) .
I remember this track from DoD 2008/04, but this is a better version.

Anyway, I don't understand why you chosen this track; I personally liked it less than many other remixes of you :)


Great work, hope to hear more =)
