Let’s find out right here.
Is Mick Gordon on Doom The Dark Ages?
No, Mick Gordon is confirmed not to have worked on Doom: The Dark Ages. The original music design was done by Finishing Move, a team of four people. Although it was known from the start that the original music was being done by Finishing Move, the community still held hope that Mick Gordon might have collaborated on a song or two.
Sadly, that’s not the case as we have confirmed that Mick Gordon doesn’t appear on the credits in Doom The Dark Ages. Although Mick Gordon hasn’t worked on The Dark Ages, Finishing Move has done excellent work with the music. Although I am sure core fans would still be upset, we urge you guys not to discredit the amazing work done by Finishing Move in the game.
Why is Mick Gordon Not in Doom The Dark Ages?
Although there is no official statement on why Mick Gordon didn’t work on Doom: The Dark Ages, it likely comes down to a drama between Mick Gordon and id Software after the release of Doom Eternal. Due to time constraints, Mick Gordon could only work on a part of the music in Doom Eternal instead of the original music. This led to a clear difference in quality between the music, and fans were quick to pick up on it.
When fans pushed Mick Gordon to explain, he stated the truth about the music he worked on and the music id Software worked on due to time constraints. This made the Doom community turn on id, which likely caused a rift between the legendary music producer and the developers.
