Known Composers Andrew Hulshcult & David Levy To Compose OST For Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods DLC

Following the release of Doom Eternal, id Software’s highly-anticipated sequel in the definitive reboot of its genre-defining first-person shooter, it was discovered that the associated composer for the two titles will most likely not return to his role later on. Composer Mick Gordon was said to have offered minimal mixing to the OST and did not take the project seriously as development inched closer to the game’s release date.

With a vacancy on the role for the coming story expansion for Doom Eternal, The Ancient Gods, it was a matter of time before it was revealed which composer will take Gordon’s position. In a joint announcement on Twitter, it was revealed that two individuals will be taking the role for the game’s upcoming DLC release.

That being disclosed by composer Andrew Hulshult, he announced that himself alongside David Levy will both be helming the composing for the add-on’s soundtrack.

Giving some back story for the two composers, Hulshult has illustrated to be a very influential individual in composing music for video games in the past. In that, he has drafted tracks for 3D Realms projects such as the titular 3D Realms Anthology, Bombshell, and Wrath: Aeon of Ruin. Hulshult is also noted to be involved with the OST for Quake Champions, so this will not be his first endeavor with Bethesda-owned properties.

The more wildcard reveal is the addition of Levy being part of the crafting for the DLC’s soundtrack. Reflecting on his previous work, Levy has worked on noted Rooster Teeth projects such as Red vs. Blue, RWBY, and Lazer Team. Outside of the one firm, Levy also worked on music for films such as Shilo, Slipping Through, and Dog Years.

Recently during this past week’s Gamescom Opening Night Live, Bethesda unveiled the first full-length trailer for The Ancient Gods, Part One. The publisher slated that the add-on expansion will be arriving this coming October. You can read the full report by heading here.
