Last year, Bethesda announced DOOM Eternal would be coming to the Nintendo Switch at QuakeCon. Once again, the studio handling the Switch port will be the specialists at Panic Button.
The hellish soundtrack for the game is being handled by the returning composer Mick Gordon. In what is quite possibly related news, Gordon is calling on the help of a heavy metal choir for an unspecified project.
Providing more information in the below video, Gordon said it wasn’t a contest, but rather an "open invitation". Candidates will need to be at least 18 years of age and be able to provide a demo of their “killer metal” voice. They’ll also have to fund their own trip to Austin, Texas. The recording session will be a paid and credited gig. If you’re interested, you’ll need to apply before 1st February, with the recording taking place in the first week of March.
As noted by Polygon, Bethesda Softworks officially announced Mick Gordon as the DOOM Eternal composer during E3 2018. With the game expected to arrive later this year, it seems highly likely the hellish choir he requires is for this upcoming release.
What do you make of this? Are you willing to lend your hellish vocals to this unspecified project? Tell us below.

Where’s the job listing for the electric triangle player?
all they need now is Tony Iommi from sabbath n Im sold
I wish I could sing. This is brilliant
That's beautiful. DOOM has one of the best soundtracks in video games - I (very) often listen to it while working. Looking forward to see more of Mike's work! The choir sound eargasmic as well
Rob Halford...get in there!
Hire me! I sing! I can growl like an orc being tortured haha
This is the best headline I've seen in ages.
Great to hear Mike is back. Arguably the audio was as instrumental to Dooms success as anything else in the game given how fantastically they integrated it into the game and how effectively it was able to set the mood and tempo. Such was the impact of the audio that at times it felt like the game was almost a rhythm music title where the visuals and player input was driven by the audio rather than the other way around.
Hi, this is my audition for the heavy metal choir.
ahem
heavy metal blares
HAAPPY BIRRRRTHDAAAAY TOO YOOOOU
This sounds really cool! One of the best soundtracks ever! The VEGA core music still gives me the chills!
Can't wait to see how Panic Button handle this. They did an awesome job with the previous Doom.
Mick Gordon's soundtrack will be to die for.
They make even the most feeble homo sapiens feel like true men.
Another argument for Doom rep in Smash... Heavy metal choir.
No, but seriously. I want to hear what this sounds like. The soundtrack for Doom was awesome.
I expect an epic final boss theme.
Don't let me down, Gordon.
Although I thoroughly enjoyed the 'first' Doom, I felt that the soundtrack was a bit lacking . It might well be because I listen to a lot of extreme metal myself, but to me it sounded a bit too overproduced and lacking in oomph.
My ears perked up at the words "heavy metal choir" being used together in the same sentence.
Just remember, you can't kill the metal!
You had me at "heavy metal choir".
A metal choir for an unannounced project.
Doom Eternal is announced.
Smash Bros. has unannounced character projects.
Doomslayer confirmed.
@retro_player_22 agreed plus their building doom eternal from the ground up for switch so its going to look really good.
He should look no further than Robb Flynn (formerly of Machine Head) and Johan Hegg (of Amon Amarth)
Wellllll I can sing somewhat Lol but only in the Shower....sooooo that leaves me out from the running,cause it would be cool to have ur voice in a song from a Killer,Cool Azz game like Doom:Eternal.
@Baart That man is a god to me. Hence my username.
Now if they could just use the Icon of Sin to conjure up Dio.
