I've actually never played Quake: Champions at all. I played the iteration before that, Quake LIVE that was an awesome free-to-play shooter that really felt like the original Quake 3 Arena game on the PC. I loved playing against the bots so much and I think the limit was 12 players so it was some real rocket mayhem.
But yes, you guessed it. This music was never in Quake: Champions at all! It was an amazingly brutal and beautiful soundtrack composed by Michael Markie for a DOOM II mod that brought all of the weapons from Quake: Champions into the game. I first discovered this music a few years ago and it really got me through some rough patches when trying to work on some projects back then. Finally, I've now had the chance to visit this to show it some love.
I think "Dune" is my favourite of the lot though. The intro. The throat singing. The Aztec and Middle-Eastern vibe. Couple that with some good old fashioned metal and you have a recipe for something truly incredible. It actually reminded me of a track from the Pokemon anime where they use a similar stringed instrument to bring a whole new dimension to an existing theme.
While LMMS doesn't have any "true" guitar and other metal samples, I did my best to combine what I had available to me to create a deep and full sound when it came to those lower ends and chords. I think the bass got a little lost in places and the treble was a touch high in the mix but overall, I think it's fine. I'm particularly happy with some of the percussion.
Let me know what you think in the comments below as always!
All the best.
