Cโmon butt, what if we told you Slipknotโs Iowa, System Of A Downโs Toxicity, Linkin Parkโs Hybrid Theory, and Nine Inch Nailsโ The Downward Spiral were actually soundtracks for the 1993 PC game DOOM? Youโd probably call us daft and throw a BFG at us, right?
Well guess what โ it didnโt happen.
But YouTuber Boiiedoin said:
โHold my lava-filled shotgun.โ
And bloody hell, what they’ve done is lush. ๐ค
๐น๏ธ Welcome to Hell… Now with More Slipknot ๐ง
Imagine youโre booting up your familyโs crusty Windows 95 tower. Youโve got a Capri-Sun, an open packet of Monster Munch, and just enough time before tea to raise hell. But wait โ the E1M1 theme is no longer blaring. Insteadโฆ it’s Corey Taylor screaming โPEOPLE = SH*Tโ through a MIDI file so crunchy it could start a mosh pit in MS Paint.
This isnโt a drill.
๐บ SLIPKNOTโS โWAIT AND BLEEDโ
Now sounds like itโs being screamed through a demonic Casio keyboard. Youโre not dodging imps anymore โ you are the imp, and you’re pissed.
๐ช SYSTEM OF A DOWNโS โCHOP SUEY!โ
But make it SNES-style. The opening acoustic riff? Now pure 16-bit church organ nightmare. When Serj yells “WHY’D YOU LEAVE THE KEYS UP ON THE TABLE?” โ youโd better believe Doomguy’s flipping a desk and doing a circle strafe around a Hell Knight.
๐งช NINE INCH NAILSโ โCLOSERโ
Trent Reznor’s industrial sleaze has never sounded soโฆ arcade horror. Like if Satan discovered LSD and a Roland MT-32.
๐ญ LINKIN PARKโS โIN THE ENDโ
Honestly? Still makes you cry. But now you’re sobbing while rocket jumping across lava pits.
๐ง What Sorcery Is This?
The wizard behind this madness is Boiiedoin, a YouTuber whoโs gone fully off the rails โ and we mean that in the most respectful, unhinged way possible. By feeding nu-metal an IV drip of Doom Soundfont, theyโve created something so cursed it swings all the way back around to genius. Like if Tony Hawkโs Pro Skater 2 got possessed by Beelzebub and started screaming about trauma.
If you thought Doom was intense before, try doing it while listening to โDualityโ rendered in MIDI. Itโs not just nostalgia โ itโs like being back in Year 9 IT class with rage in your heart and LimeWire on your floppy disk.
๐ Bonus Round: Super Mario 64 Joins the Pit
Oh aye, it doesnโt stop with Doom.
Boiiedoin’s also dropped MIDI-mangled versions of metal classics reimagined in the Super Mario 64 soundfont. Thatโs right โ โCrawlingโ by Linkin Park while backflipping into a painting of fire? Spiritual experience, mun.
Imagine stomping a Goomba while โBefore I Forgetโ blares in Nintendo-core.
If this doesnโt make you believe in multiverses, nothing will.
๐งจ WHY THIS IS A TIDY MASTERPIECE
Letโs be real โ most tribute or cover projects are either painfully try-hard or sound like your mate Gav after five ciders trying to play โEnter Sandmanโ on a borrowed bass. But this? This is pure gold-plated nerd-metal wizardry.
- Nostalgia? โ
- Demonic MIDI energy? โ
- Songs that shouldn’t work in this format but totally do? โ โ โ
Itโs equal parts cursed and genius, like a Doom mod where Fred Durst is the final boss and Serj Tankian gives you power-ups.
Honestly, if Boiiedoin doesnโt get hired to score a Doom DLC or become Doomguyโs personal MIDI DJ, we riot.
๐ชฆ Final Words Before We Descend Into MIDI Hell
This is what happens when internet weirdos get talented โ and weโre so here for it. If you’re not already watching this with your jaw on the floor and your nostalgia circuits fried, then you’re probably a Lost Soul and not the cool kind.
โItโs your turn to use the computer.โ
And this time, youโre loading up a playlist that includes Psychosocial, One Step Closer, March of the Pigsโฆ all dripping in retro pixelated fury. ๐พ
๐ฌ SOUND OFF, DEMON SLAYERS:
Would you play a full Doom WAD with these reimagined classics?
Have a cursed Soundfont project of your own? Drop it in the comments!
Or just yell:
โYESS MUN, MIDI ME UP!โ
And weโll know what you mean. ๐ค
