Chords for DOOM Eternal: The Heavy Metal Choir

_ _ _ _ _ My name's Mick Gordon.
I'm here in beautiful Austin, [D] Texas, to [C#] record a heavy metal choir
for Doom Eternal.
One, two, check.
It's a continuation [B] of Doom 16, [D#] but this really needs
its own unique approach.
We'd already discussed some chants that harkens back to Slayer's
[C#m] origins.
The idea of [C#] taking a heavy metal choir and having them do the chant for the
Slayer was amazing.
The big question is, right, how do you put together a heavy metal
choir?
And the best way that we figured out how to do it would be to put [N] out an open call
and invite heavy metal singers to apply to join this [C#m] awesome ensemble of badasses.
I'm
the [G#] vocalist of The [G] Anchor.
I'm the frontman for [C#] two different bands.
I'm in a band called
The World I Know, trap metal.
I'm the vocalist for Wow Speaker.
I play in [A] a death metal band
called Aborted.
I [N] play bass for Static X, [C#] Ministry.
This is like a really classical
franchise, especially within the rock and [D] metal community.
Everybody [C#] just looks up to
this [D] game.
Part of the game is this [C#] ancient chant [A#] that's in this other language.
[A] _ _ _ _ [N] _
We want
the whole game to feel like a heavy metal album experience.
_ _ _ Every time I get a drop,
I hit play and I'm like, oh, this is freaking amazing.
_ _ The group that we ended up putting
together is really diverse.
There's so many different types of metal singers there.
To
[A] see the choir be half female, half male, it's been really [A#] awesome.
He's working with
20 [B] other people, not just one person.
It's a very [Dm] different way of recording.
To [D] hear
all those guttural voices all around you, it's [N] really fucking cool.
_ _ With all the anger
and energy, it feels right.
I think as humans, we always relate to voice.
It touches us on
a deeper level. _ _
There's just different styles and [D] it's cool to see all of it just come together
and make this really unique, amazing sound.
[N] There's a guy that does Mongolian metal and
I was just impressed at what he can do. _
_ _ _ Everything works together.
Sound effects, music, gameplay.
All these things come together, not as separate elements, but as one cohesive unit.
_ I've always
wondered what that would be like to hear [Cm] a choir [D] singing that way.
We're going to do
our own [Gm] thing.
[Am] We're going to do [F#m] it like nobody else is doing it.
_ I had to [Bm] be part of this,
man.
You kidding me?
I grew up with Doom.
[F#] I got to play a little bit on the [G#] Atari Jaguar.
[F#m] I bought every edition, one of my favorite games of all time, and [G#] I love [F#] the soundtrack.
To be able [G] to contribute to something that might get people into metal.
To me, it's a
[F#] big honor.
I'm so excited to [G] hear the end product.
[F#m] Being part of the Doom soundtrack
feels pretty [Bm] legendary.
_ _ They're just as [C#] much a part of the process as any of [F#m] us.
_ _ _ _ [N] _
Thank you so much.
They're the ones that have kept Doom going for 25 years.
