Mick Gordon's "BFG Division" Reaches 100 Million Spotify Streams, Underscoring Doom's Enduring Impact
A significant milestone has been achieved for the 2016 Doom reboot's soundtrack: Mick Gordon's "BFG Division" has surpassed 100 million streams on Spotify. This achievement highlights not only the track's popularity but also the enduring legacy of the Doom franchise and its iconic metal-infused score.
The Doom series, a pioneer of the first-person shooter genre, continues to resonate with gamers. Its enduring appeal stems from its fast-paced gameplay and, significantly, its distinctive heavy metal soundtrack. "BFG Division," a key track accompanying many intense action sequences, perfectly embodies this fusion of adrenaline-pumping gameplay and hard-hitting music.
Composer Mick Gordon's announcement of the 100 million stream milestone on Twitter, accompanied by celebratory emojis, further underscores the impact of his work. His contributions to Doom extend beyond "BFG Division," encompassing many of the game's most memorable and intense musical moments. He also composed the soundtrack for Doom Eternal, further solidifying his connection to the franchise's signature sound.
Gordon's musical talent has enriched other FPS franchises as well. His work is featured in Bethesda titles like Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and even extends to Borderlands 3, demonstrating his versatility and influence across different game studios.
However, despite his significant contributions, Gordon will not be composing the score for the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages. He has publicly cited creative differences and production challenges during Doom Eternal's development as reasons for his departure from the franchise.
