DOOM is so much more than a game – it’s a feeling. Even when you’re not playing, elements like the art, sound, ambiance, speed or just plain ‘feel’ of DOOM stick in your brain. In this series, we hand-pick the stuff that we think fans might appreciate and keep them in the MOOD for DOOM.

Motörhead

There is so much music out there that gets us amped up for some DOOM. While we love us some power metal about epic battles or industrial madness that sounds like it could summon demons in real life, there’s nothing quite like putting on some badass rock ‘n’ roll.

And Motörhead is about as rock ‘n’ roll as rock ‘n’ roll gets. The English band helped define in-your-face music in 1975 and never took their foot off the pedal since. With lyrics telling tales of hard livin’, fast rolling basslines, raw guitars, thumping drums and the inimitable gravel-throated voice of Lemmy Kilmister, Motörhead’s influence on the heavy metal and punk genres make it challenging to find a hard rock act these days that doesn’t have at least have some Motör under the hood.
