Family sedan Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 What is the heaviest song you've ever heard in a video game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Probably anything from the Doom (2019) soundtrack. I don't particularly like music that heavy, so that's why I only suffered that game by listening to the soundtrack of the 1993 game. That said I did like the soundtrack from Nightmare Creatures on Playstation 1, that's about as heavy as I like video game metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycrab Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The first time I heard heavy metal in a video game was with Carmageddon, which used instrumentals from Fear Factory's Demanufacture album. Back then I didn't even really know what heavy metal was but I loved it! But I think the king of heavy soundtracks has to go to Brütal Legend. The whole game from visual design, lore, story and even self-deprecating humour all revolve around heavy metal culture. Then there's the soundtrack which of course fucking rocks! There's over 100 tracks The likes of Testament, Black Sabbath, Iced Earth, Motörhead, Mötley Crüe, Tvangeste, Dark Tranquillity, Megadeath, In Flames, Manowar, Dimmu Borgir, Judas Priest..... It goes on forever! Withywarlock and Family sedan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shagger Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I believe Heavy Metal and video game soundtracks are happy bedfellows so often for a reason. These things are sperate, but both are heavily woven into geek culture along with other things that don't really exist for the popular kids like Pro-Wrestling, Comics, Fantasy Novels, table top games and so on. It's not that these things are inherently uncool or unpopular, but there is a certain amount of obscurity and exclusivity to them that appeals to people outside the click. As a fam of both, I'm more than happy that this is the case. Family sedan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fractured_Veil Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Way back when, the theme to Quake by Trent Reznor was pretty hard and was perfect for the original IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Family sedan Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 Some of the heaviest songs I've ever heard in games have been in the Tony Hawk games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it was Twisted Metal for me because I really enjoyed it in as much as it was very deafening to my house mates. It was quite a piece back then.

Family sedan Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Yeah, that probably is one of the heavier tracks in a Twisted level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it definitely the heaviest I have heard so far as long as heavy metal is linked to games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
