analoq's just gotten more and more dangerous with each passing ReMix. Leave him alone for awhile, and he comes up with something different, creative, quality, and highly indicative of both an arsenal of tools and more importantly the skillz to put them to good use. This Doom ReMix is an instant classic, easily one of the best from the series that I've ever heard, and features some truly varied, inspired processing, Rammstein-esque vocals, and a bassline that drives the whole thing and is the business. It's a very good thing when a bassline is the business, and this one is. Layered, filtered synths, electronic drums, and gated guitar hits fill everything out, and there's also more than one breakdown and the PERFECT ending, a mellow, maudlin chorus of fuzzy synth strings. Though it was unanimously approved by the panel, there was some amusing dialogue regarding the "lyrics":

Vigilante: as far as i can tell, the last three lines are: Dracula, kumbaya, rastaman.
analoq: the words are from the 'infernal names' section of the lavey satanic bible. sort of a demonic roll call. it seemed appropriate for doom. i'm probably pronouncing some of them wrong but they're just for effect anyways...

I could have sworn I heard "kumbaya" and "rastaman", too, so perhaps Jesse shouldn't feel too bad. At any rate, the effect works as intended, and the mix has that futuristic-satanic dichotomy balanced just right. Great mix, and the title is even cool because it's like "onik" instead of "onic" and stuff, and we all know that's the business, too. Highly recommended.

There's no way this would have been passed just because it's "competent." Just because you personally didn't enjoy it, don't extrapolate that to how djpretzel or the staff viewed the mix. You'd be absolutely wrong.

sounds like an old nine inch nails sound study with added spoken demon evocations. Do not expect something that in any way resembles Rammstein, as has been stated before. The whole thing is bland, at times feels detached through pointlessness. Still, a good example of that the judges do not mess with taste, because otherwise this could not have passed: technically there is nothing wrong with it, but I also see no reason besides nostalgia why one would want to hear this.

Did you put that extremely harsh and annoying screeching sound at the start of demonik electronik just to get on peoples nerves? now i'm not talking **** or anything but I like that song I alot but I'm afraid to double click it because of that sound. I have to fast foward it everytime. >_<

Rammstein remixed by NIN into a swirly dark chocolate.

Well I am a huge fan of industrial music, (like enough to name off a bunch of obscure bands no-one has heard of as my favorites.... Hocico, Wumpscut, Kevorkian Death Cycle...) so um, I know what Rammstein sounds like, I always wanted to get back and say, "yuh-huh, it does too sound like Rammstein, anyone who has heard alot of Rammstein knows it does!!!"
Thanks for backing me up.
Anyways... yeah, everytime I hear it, I still think Rammstein, and I still think it plays really well, and still sounds great, and everytime I hear it I get an itch to get back to these forums and post "yuh huh!!"... now that itch has been scratched... :P

I've glanced once in awhile at this Remix, but never got down to actually listening to it. But when I did, man what a great Remix it is! It fits in perfectly with Doom's mood and just well..its a really good version of that theme!!

I've been going to this site for a long time and this has always been my favorite remix, and now that I've finally gotten around to stop being lazy I knew that this would have to be the first remix I commented on because it's that good. This remix has inspired me to listen to Rammstien because someone commented on it and mentioned that it sounded like Rammstien so i fugure there was a whole band that did music like this remix that I loved so much. It's even inspired me to write an epic novel of tolkienesque proportions. I believe that if OCR ever makes some kind of hall of awsomeitude this should be the very first remix to grace it's golden pixels.

You know, it's a well known fact that we Omega men stick pretty close. And though I generally find TO's comments spiking the nail in the face, I have to roll with NeOmega on this one.
Rammstein remixed by NIN into a swirly dark chocolate.
Well composed and executed, as usual...so I'll save the praise...you know it's great.
I think the track knows it's purpose, but there were a few things that I think (in my humble un-remixing opinion) that could have upped the stakes on this one.
Namely, dropping the cute tickles and maybe adding some haunting choruses (deep demonic basses or shrill siren-esque sopranos)...that, or some face-busting orchestral strings...that, or actually finding a way to infuse the listed demons into the track...
...now wouldn't that be keen...

The Eight Infernal Names! ALL RIGHT! Now I can open that portal to Hell!
But seriously. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but ever since The Dark Side of Phobos launched, I've been checking out the other DOOM remixes on the site. So far I've only listened to N-JekteD's Purgatory and this. And I am far from dissapointed. This is awesome stuff. I will agree with the collective. The "incantation", as I like to call it, is reminiscent of something out of German goth metal. Which fits in perfectly with the musical style as well as compliments the piece's hellish inspirer. It creates an ideal atmosphere. Great job.

I arrived at this site yesterday by word of John Romero. I listened to this remix and I knew I was gonna hang out for a while.
I really liked this remix, I think it's a little slow for fragfests and like someone else said it's a little too clean. Nevertheless the groove is very hypnotic and the basslines has got to be one of the juiciest basslines I've heard (right next to "Synapse" :wink: ).
Congratulations again for a work well done.

This is perhapes one of my favorite mixes on my comp and on my mp3 player. this one is a keeper.

- Garrettheoverthinker on May 12, 2005

How does this sound rammstein? The voice sounds kind of german, but the music is nowhere near their styles.
But then if people can link Enya to final fantasy, then anything is possible., :wink:

Nice call. This hella sounds like a Rammstein piece.
Very good stuff Analoq.... I love it!

- NeOmega on February 16, 2005

Definately my favorite DOOM and DOOM 2 mix on the site, which is saying something, because I love nearly every one of them dearly. This one just brings something darker, more oppressing to the table that I need sometimes, and the addition of the infernal names just raised it to another level.
Though I must confess that I went out of my way to learn them. Oh well.
Good work, man.
