Get Ready to Rip & Tear Through a New Era: Doom The Dark Ages Unleashes Medieval Mayhem and a Fresh Metal Soundtrack!

Hold onto your helmets, Slayers! The upcoming Doom The Dark Ages is shaping up to be an incredible, bone-crunching beast of a game, and the excitement is palpable! While it still promises that visceral, demon-shredding action we crave from the legendary franchise (in the vein of the last two smash hits), this new installment is marching to a gloriously different, medieval war drum.
Imagine this: the brutal heart of Doom infused with the epic, darkly comedic vibe of Army of Darkness, all seasoned with a hefty dose of Warhammer’s grim fantasy. Yes, you’ll still be an unstoppable force of nature, tearing demons limb from limb, but the entire atmosphere promises a fresh, thrilling experience.
This fantastic new direction extends powerfully to the soundtrack. While Doom 2016 and Eternal undeniably ignited a fire under the djent-heavy “Argent Metal” scene (and kudos to those trying to make that name stick!), The Dark Ages is embracing a broader, yet equally brutal, tradition: metal that perfectly encapsulates high-fantasy Hell. It’s a sound that resonates with a rich history of metal exploring dark, mythical worlds, without leaning too heavily into one subgenre.
So, whether you dove headfirst into a metal rabbit hole thanks to the previous games and are craving tunes to match this new medieval flavor, or if The Dark Ages is your gateway into a larger, more brutal world of sound, get ready! We’re here to guide you further down that epic path with an awesome selection of six more killer albums to go hunting down. These tracks will keep the adrenaline pumping and the brutal times rolling long after you’ve gloriously Shield Sawed your very last demon in half. Prepare for a new crusade of sound!
