I've been doing a whole lot of modern video game songs and I really wanted to hit up something this week that I've been itching to do for a while. I noticed in my analytics how many people still love the Doom 2016 soundtrack and it gave me the drive to crank this one out. I knew I wanted to go a bit bigger if possible than usual though.

As with my first Doom cover, I wanted to challenge myself to only use guitars for this, no synths. I real opposite of what Mick Gordon was originally tasked with. I worked hard in replicating the synths with guitar effects and reverbs to create a similiar vibe and I really took a lot of time to mix this differently than I usually do. I think I tried to strive a middle point between what I did for BFG Division and The Only Thing They Fear.

For this cover, I puchased some Bare Knuckle Juggernaut pickups for my 8-string. While the EMGs had served me well, I really wanted to get something like Bare Knuckles in my Schecter Hellraiser C8 to better serve tracks like this. Unfortunately, the bridge pickup I got was broken. After days or rewiring, I finally just put the neck pickup in the bridge pickup position and got started. I wired it so that the only thing this guitar could do is that Neck pickup with no splits or anything. What I found was the neck pickup was LOUD. I couldn't make the DI not clip when playing this song and honestly, I felt like it was awesome.

I really like the idea of adding more unique elements to my covers as much as I can and there's no one in my house, except maybe Adriana, better suited to be the embodiment of Rip and Tear than my dog Marnie. For someone who has a talent for violently destroying ever toy we give her, it was difficult getting shots of her taking on this poor Cacodemon I ordered for the sole purpose of being dismemebered. I hope it's a fun balance of badass and silly that I always strive to achieve with these videos.

Rip and Tear until it is done!
