Why was Mick Gordon removed? Why did Mick Gordon leave Doom?
In April 2020, several online music bloggers and fans noted the disparity in quality between the Doom (2016) OST and the one released with Eternal, Following the release of Doom Eternal’s OST.
On November 9, 2022, Gordon published an article on Medium explaining his side of the story in the form of a defensive rebuttal of the accusations in Stratton’s post. It made several statements that the open letter from Stratton contained lies.
He called out claims by Stratton that he had not provided the original source material for the soundtrack and that Bethesda had to grant him an extension to get the OST done when in reality, he had not even been contracted to create the OST at the time of the delay. This in turn led to his reputation in the industry being harmed.
Doom Eternal developer Id Software has announced that it won’t be working with that game’s composer Mick Gordon (pictured) again. In a statement on Reddit, the title’s executive producer Marty Stratton said that was parting ways with the musician after Gordon criticized the mixing of the official soundtrack.
